Trump threatens war and punitive tariffs to recapture Iranian resources – just as in 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mossadegh and US corporations immediately seized 40% of the oil, says SEVIM DAGDELEN
YOU probably already guessed that Frosty won’t be writing much about the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this year. I might return to her favourite son, Andrew, aka the defendant, aka the dirty old Duke of York, but not much about old Queenie herself.
However, I have got a bit of space to mention one thing that is happening to mark 70 years on the throne. The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) is a tree planting initiative created to mark the anniversary.
All across the country, we are all being encouraged to plant one or more trees and that has to be a good thing. Working with many commercial sponsors and the Woodland Trust local groups and organisations can even apply for free trees and planting kits.
Nature's self-reconstruction is both intriguing and beneficial and as such merits human protection, write ROX MIDDLETON, LIAM SHAW and MIRIAM GAUNTLETT
