Jeremy Corbyn Labour Party Rally - Telford

TELFORD, UNITED KINGDOM - JULY 20: Hundreds of people gather to see Jeremy Corbyn at a Labour party rally in Shropshire on July 20, 2017. The town is one of Labour’s target seats, included in a national list of constituency the party must win if it is to triumph in a future general election. Mr Corbyn said: “I am delighted to return to Telford. I grew up in Shropshire and try to come back whenever I can. It’s where I learnt about the principles of community and social justice and the importance of looking after our environment. We will make the case in Telford for our policies to place wealth, power and opportunity in the hands of the many not the few.”

Protest against the Badger Cull - Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury, Shropshire. 22/04/2017. People gathered in Shrewsbury town centre today to protest against the ‘emergency’ inclusion of Shropshire in the controversial Badger cull, set in place for the control of Bovine TB.
As the final year of the controversial cull trials began in August 2016, local MP’s called for Shropshire to be included in the Badger cull. Following the end of the badger cull trials the government announced the culls will continue into 2017, while DEFRA revealed plans to bring a 2 year forecast forward whereby the badger cull will be rolled out across half of the United Kingdom.
The historic cull has been shown to be inhumane with badgers dying slow and painful deaths as a result of free-shooting as well as providing no significant contribution to controlling Bovine TB in test zones.
The Shropshire Rally against the Badger Cull 2017 has been organised by the concerned residents of Shropshire in conjunction with a variety of grass roots groups and organisations who are dedicated to protecting wildlife locally and nationally.
