Does Starmer Know What He?s Talking About on AI? Thu Jan 23, 2025 13:28 | James Alexander
Why was Keir Starmer's recent speech on AI written like a Mr Men book? Prof James Alexander wonders if the Prime Minister knows what he's talking about. Is AI really "the ultimate force for national renewal"?

Climate hobgoblins have been long in the making whereas Covid ones crawled out of nowhere. But both put corrupted science in the service of tyrannical politics. Now, at last, the hobgoblins are fading, says Tilak Doshi.

How Come Elon Musk is Automatically a Nazi, But Axel Rudakubana Definitely Isn?t a Terrorist? Thu Jan 23, 2025 07:00 | Steven Tucker
How come Elon Musk is automatically a Nazi, but a man who possesses a terror training manual, creates stores of ricin, kills several people and pleads guilty to terror charges, is not a terrorist at all?

Mob Grazing introduction
Sligo farmer, Clive Bright, gives a brief introduction to a low-input animal management system, which he currently, and cost-effectively, uses.
 Mayo Mob Grazing Mayo Organic Group is delighted to welcome Clive, to give an introduction to this method of animal management. We will be meeting on Thursday 21st September, at Claremorris Town Hall. Further details via Cleo, on [email protected]
Mob Grazing and Low-Stress Livestock Management
I manage 120 acres organically in south Sligo.
We run a herd of around 30 breeding cows (Angus, Shorthorn and Hereford) and finish about 1/3 of our calves to 100% grass fed beef which I direct sell. Another third are kept as breeding heifers and allowed to calve down, the best are kept are replacements and the others sold with calves at foot. The final third are the animals performing least well and sold at various stages to maintain cash flow into various suitable markets.
All the animals are rotated through temporary paddocks using managed intensive grazing - sometimes called holistic grazing or mob grazing. We never feed grain, our animals are exclusively grass-fed - lush pasture in summer; hay and silage in winter. We also practise low-stress livestock handling and we compost all our farm waste on a large scale.
It is a profitable low input - high output system that benefits the soil, the grass, the animals and the farmer! It works on any scale with any types of ruminants (cows, sheep, goats, deer etc.). The system can also easily incorporate mono-gastric animals too (horses, pigs and chickens). With careful management at a low stocking rate, out-wintering on standing grass with no hay or silage can be easily achieved.
