#UK - '#FoodWaste could help our farmers'

Maisie Olah, 22 March 2026

"A Labour MP has said a new weekly food waste recycling service could help #farmers, by turning food waste into #fertiliser.

"Mary Creagh, MP for #Coventry East, said taking food waste out of black bins and putting it 'into #anaerobic digestion to create #digestate fertiliser' will help farmers due to fertiliser prices soaring because of 'conditions in the Middle East'.

"Coventry City Council will introduce a new weekly food waste recycling service for households in September - five months after the government's deadline.

"Twenty-three litre food caddies will be distributed to residents and will be collected five days a week, leaving other bins to be collected on different days of the week."

#Coventry city council has signed a £500,000-a-year artificial intelligence contract with the US data technology company #Palantir to be used in social work, Send and children’s services.

The council says it wants to "explore the transformative opportunities of artificial intelligence”, whatever that is supposed to mean exactly.

in 1998, A young man in #Coventry #West #Midlands had just got his first #mobile #phone and (possibly whilst drunk) sent #SMS to random numbers. A young woman replied (thinking it was from someone she knew). The pair kept exchanging messages, later phone calls, eventually met up and got married 4 years later (they are still married, have 2 kids and are renewing their vows!)

(Society was maybe a bit more innocent back then, it was nearly 30 years ago)

"If a worker scans the QR code and clicks the link, Amazon’s software automatically generates a letter from the worker and then emails it to the trade union, ending their membership."

The innovation will continue until morale improves

The Release Energy prank was just one stunt Butler pulled for his doc; he also went undercover at an Amazon warehouse, during a period when Amazon hired an extra 1,000 workers for its warehouses in #Coventry, UK, in a successful bid to dilute pro-#union sentiment in his workforce in advance of a key union vote:

Butler's stint as an Amazon warehouse worker only lasted a couple of days, ending when Amazon recognized him and fired him.

Got my ride in this afternoon. A nice 25 mile loop to fill in some long missing #Veloviewer squares (grid goes up by two to 13x13). Rather hilly out to the south west of Nuneaton. Worth it for the views and finding a delightful bluebell wood!

And with that, I've exceeded my monthly target, hitting 234 miles. That reduces the year to-date deficit to about 13 miles... but May is a big month with a 401 mile target, a total I've only ever achieved the once!
