Andrew Wakefield knowingly and intentionally misrepresented his scientific findings to further his own career ahead of the interests of humanity as a whole. Thomas Midgley Jr is the only person I'd put ahead of him in terms of the damage he's done to the world.

Funnily enough, this was in Canada!

I saw a crow fish a big sharing bag of crisps (chips) out of a bin. The bag was nearly full and too heavy for it to fly away with so it landed pulled half the crisps out and onto the ground, then picked up the now lighter bag and carried it off.

Cooking with smoke is pretty much universal across all indigenous people, not just in North America

He's not elected. He couldn't give a f about conflict of interest.

I live in a rural area and speak to lots of farmers. Chatting to one of my neighbours in the pub about it and they're righteously angry about it.

Drill down into their assets though and they have: modest sheep flock and attendant land, equipment etc, large family home, profitable machining and engineering business, separate from the farm, 4 other properties that they let their children live in rent free or rent out to other tenants.

I do think that the government is using a hammer to tighten a screw, but my sympathy ends for farmers when they're hoarding assets to that degree and that isn't even particularly large when I compare it to some of the families I work for. One I can name employs around 200 people in a major dairy operation with dozens of old family farms consolidated into the ownership of 3 siblings.

Land and farm assets like animals, equipment etc should be exempt so that they're not just bought up by corporations. The rest should be subject to the same level of taxation as the rest of the country has to pay.

Even if he did own the entire site, it would be illegal for him to dig in and disturb the waste due to environmental protection laws.

Didn't trump win with about 27% of the population voting for him?

First they came for the Mancs, but I don't live in Manchester...

Hey! This guys a phony!

They didn't even fail, the company was intentionally brought to the edge of bankruptcy by taking out huge loans it could never hope to repay so they could fund bigger dividends. Then the people responsible got nice big payouts as they walked away.
