Brilliant original journalism from BBC. How drivers in UK are inadvertently poisoning villagers in India. It’s a must-listen, and should change Gvt policy. Thanks to brilliant AnnaMeisel and Carl Johnston listen BBC Sounds bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

🔥Fighting Dirty has launched a legal case in a bid to “shut down the illegal trade in waste tyres that is poisoning India” This comes after an investigation by SourceMaterial and the BBC found that millions of tyres exported from the UK are being burned endsreport.com/article/191151…

This is a humdinger. Important programme proving that UK exports pollution in huge quantities to villages in India: ill health, even death as a result. What’s the gvt doing? Thanks to brilliant AnnaMeisel and Carl Johnston bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

A story I got to worked for these past few months : Millions of tyres are brought from UK to India & used to extract Pyrolysis oil. But the process leaves behind heavy pollution and is even deadly. Listen to BBC Radio 4 documentary - bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #TheTyreScandal

"Wouldn’t it be healthier to look all middle/higher earners in the eye, and tell them to contribute more?" A parent from Education Not Taxation argues that other taxes would be more effective and fairer than the addition of VAT to fees Do you agree? pepf.co.uk/opinion/vat-pr…


Good to see that our investigation into waste tyres with my top colleague Atika Rehman and co-reporters BBC File On 4 was debated in Westminster this week.

It's so not cool to read that financial aid for studying journalism (like the brilliant NCTJ) could be removed by Department for Education. Angry rebuttal from Society of Society of Editors UK below. I 100% agree. Journalism needs to get less posh, not more... societyofeditors.org/soe_news/the-s…
