I thought this gov was about following the science…
This country cant even do the most basic things to protect the environemt. The government or the people.
I’m guessing someone “in” with our resident kleptocrats stands to gain from this.
When the bees go, we will not be far behind them. Bees might not be the only pollinator out there, however they are key for a lot of plants and flowers. Extreme weather events will harm our ability to grow food as it is, we don’t need to help speed that along by killing off pollinators at the same time.
Do you ever get the impression the country is going backwards? I do.
Pfft those pesky scientists getting in the way of capitalism again!
I wish we could just start over.
I believe the Gov is going down a route with a mentality of ‘a giant war is about to start and we are all fucked so let’s do all the things that make our grave deeper!’
Just when you think they can’t get any more moronic the nipples go and pull something like this. Fucking bellends.
“Now that we’ve left the EU, we can kill as many bees as we like! Another Brexit success story!”
Oh for fuck’s sake… Just when you thought the tories couldn’t be any more cuntish.
Oh look all for Sugar Beet, grown by British Sugar
> An insecticide banned due to its harm to bees will be used on sugar beet in Britain this year after ministers authorised an emergency exemption.
> British Sugar is the nation’s sole producer of sugar from sugar beet.
Who also happens to grow and supply over 3/4 of the entire world’s supply of medical cannabis in the UK and it just happens that their managing director is Paul Kenward and he’s married to a Tory PM
> Paul Robert Kenward (born 1973) is a British businessman, managing director of British Sugar and a director of several other companies.
> He is the husband of the British Conservative MP Victoria Atkins
So doing this to help out their mates while fucking over the UK in the future.
Typical of this government… Can we make money out of this and can we ruin the UK at the same time, it’s almost as if they are are determined to destroy the UK (which just happens to suit their Russian paymaster) while enriching themselves at the very same time
Can we at least replace it with a Tory-harming pesticide?
Between Liz Truss, Tory policy and this, why does it feel like our government is actually trying to kill us all on a daily basis?
Huh. Dumb cunts make dumb cunt decisions. I’m shocked.
Not a day goes by in which the Government goes against expert advice / warning. On any matter.
It’s ok, Boris can make an announcement saying the bee population is all fine again so restrictions can be lifted—and then we’ll have nothing to worry about.
Is there a petition or anything we can to try reverse this ?
**Want flowers:** don’t kill the goddamn bees. How often do we have to say this . Nothing in this life that has anything to do with human food is reproducible if you kill the goddamn bees.
Christ on a bloody goddam crutch… if you kill them … you kill us all … you brain-dead boobs.
What percentage of death and destruction do you fucking need to know we are in a goddamn singular crisis here?
Could we ask perhaps that political representatives … every fucking country… ought to be required to at least have the political/economic comprehension of a college graduate for fucking sake…
OK, also one who is not somehow butt buddies with Oligarchs.. but I fear that might be too much.
I remain hopeful.
Tory government at it again, out to be the worst government in British history
* *We are following the science!*
* Umm…in this case it may harm short term profits for your chums, minister
* *Screw science!*
Let’s unleash the bees on parliament and see what happens. 🐝
Y’all need to relax it literally says “emergency exemption” they’re not just doing it for the lols and it’s temporary. fucking hell smoke a joint every once in a while aye?
Good one to slip through while everyone is worried about what are apparently immediate problems in Ukraine. The climate and environment is already way down the agenda after covid and Ukraine, yet we still hobble ourselves at every opportunity with stuff like this.
Whenever I hear news like this my inner monologue just starts repeating “the planet is fucked, the planet is fucked”. It’s inevitable and its driving me a little bit mad…
This exemption is looked at every year, it looks like this year they may need it because of they high level of aphids affecting the crops.
> About two-thirds of the UK’s sugar comes from homegrown sugar beet. **Twelve EU countries including France, Belgium, Denmark and Spain have given emergency authorisations** for neonicotinoid use in the last three years.
well thats the bees fucked then.
ecological collapse is gonna be the next thing that hits us.
I mean, it could be to help cover the costs from the pandemic and military projects going on too?
Which products/brand are associated with British Sugar? It’s very easy to boycott to send a message. If they have no market to sell sugar, they won’t need to use pesticide.
What a government of incompetant tossers we have, so by killing off our Bee’s that we rely on for food production is a good thing to do, less food that means to our population
What a joke. I made sure to throw plenty of wildflower seeds in my empty flower beds this year like I did last. It can help a little.
Can we fast forward to the collapse of civilisation already? The writers are really dragging this season’s plot out.
Why are people angry? Bees have nothing to do with the crop this exception applies to.
