As the #OrangeHitler Administration orders gov't #websites to "#scrub 27 #BannedWords" from all websites...
...I'd like to remind everyone that the job of "Winston Smith" in the novel "1984" was to remove words from the English #language.

Now, thanks to the #CarrifranWildwood, one of the UK’s first community-led #rewilding projects, patches of habitat resembling Scotland’s primeval #forest are staging a comeback."
