This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

Loads of Money
The billionaire owner of TCI Fund Management paid himself $690m (£574m) for last year. This is equivalent to £1.5m per day (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/nov/30/sir-chris-hohn-paid-himself-equivalent-of-over-15m-per-day-this-year). £1.5m is 15,000 times the avarage UK salary. This amount 'takes the mickey', coming as it does, in the middle of a cost of living crisis. Some disabled folk currently can't afford the electricity, to recharge their wheelchairs. One has to wonder how much tax was paid on this Fund Manager's annual 'salary'? It's really just legalised gambling with other folk's money.
