Talking of propaganda, do we have a keen gardener here who can tell me what that shrub is that is in leaf this early? Forsythia is in leaf but you'd also see the blossom. What else?

Hm, could it be a rose?

dearieme - we have a blueberry in leaf. It doesn't lose all of its leaves over winter, but has sprouted plenty of new ones.

It seems to be an oft repeated tale nowadays - the falsifying and corrupting of data by academic institutions to try and steer a gullible public towards an unwarranted belief in 'climate change'.

Flowering red currant has been in leaf for weeks.

Tammly - yet it would be virtually impossible to persuade a BBC viewer that this is done.

Tammly - a useful shrub, we had one at the previous house.

dearieme - blimey, do they actually exist? I bet she used an AI system to 'improve' the photo, they do odd things like that.
