High rejection rates for African applicants, and now an increase in already absurdly expensive fees. UK visa policy doesn’t drop the ball when it comes to being crooked and exploitative.

Nicely captures the discord of many green infrastructure schemes: ‘the creation of a false dichotomy between ecosystems and renewable energy development […] pits environmental protections against social and economic justice.’
Is anyone still here? If so, I have an announcement - something new for me - this piece in @Harpers that looks at the use of public lands for renewable energy development and questions whether we should.
