    Climate Change, where are you on this scale?

    Yes, and the year to the COP 28 benefits will have been gained from what happened in COP 27 and whatever, or pressure from that, and the same will add up each year. Throughout 2024 we will be doing things, because of COP 28 (which were much larger commitments), then after COP 29 will end up...

    New UK population estimates published

    Yeah, of course, I should have mentioned those too. We're going to need a push to build more of those, but like you say, staff them too, so we need to be paying them what they're worth, or the UK folk will just not be interested in training as them. If that doesn't happen we'll need to import...

    Climate Change, where are you on this scale?

    False equivalence, my number, and magnitude. If you look at the scientific weighting and actual facts, then it's easy to see that it's 99% saying 1% are wrong, and 1% saying 99% are wrong. I see your point, and it doesn't look good, but it's much less of a point when you consider ROI...

    New UK population estimates published

    We do need more infrastructure, but just to the level we should have had already etc, the infrastructure didn't grow at the same rate as the birth rate required it to, and now we're putting sticking plasters on gaping holes. i.e HS2 for example should have been built when the channel tunnel was...

    New UK population estimates published

    It's mad that people act like we're "full", but it's only because they've been told for years we are, we're far from "full", less than 8% of all land is "developed". Our planning laws are ridiculous, which strangle necessary expansion into markets best suited to us. If you take a drive from...

    Climate Change, where are you on this scale?

    I'm anywhere between A and E, in different ways. There's a massive difference between A-E and 1-5 though, they shouldn't even be on the same chart. As for A, thing's aren't getting better, they're not even getting less worse yet, every year the world adds on more and more emissions and even...

    Voter ID

    How about we bring in voter photo i.d (but only on the rollout of a national identity card), but make it app based. Oh wait, no, they won't do that as they would end up with more young folk with the i.d than old folk, and they of course won't do that as it's only the oldies voting for them.

    Tory Andrea Leadsom says the cost of living crisis is over…

    Ok for some, but I don't think the term "good fats" helps, they should just be called bad fats, and the others extremely bad (for most people). The benefits of the "good fats" are probably outweighed by the negatives for most, or they're already getting enough of them where they shouldn't be...

    Most underrated premier player ever

    I lot of ex players say McManaman was extremely underrated.

    Tory Andrea Leadsom says the cost of living crisis is over…

    I know what you're saying, and kind of agree, but I don't think talk like you're saying in the first line actually helps, as they (the less clued up) then end up thinking "good fats" are actually ok, when it's only fine for people who are a healthy weight. Problem is people can't balance, if...

    Tory Andrea Leadsom says the cost of living crisis is over…

    Replacement and then some, big difference between thinly applying a coting and soaking something though, probably 5x difference, which will add up. Yeah, 100% on healthier but not healthy. I don't put butter on plain bread though, and a very think layer on toast, but some people really do lap...

    Tory Andrea Leadsom says the cost of living crisis is over…

    Yeah, I get that's the theory, if you really think about it, but I doubt most would notice in a side by side comparison, and certainly not if trying each on different days, but maybe that's just me? Think I'm a bit more miffed that it gets marketed like a healthy dip, but this does not seem to...

    Tory Andrea Leadsom says the cost of living crisis is over…

    OO is the biggest con going, the finest example of diminishing returns, and even more of a con than the Tories, and that's saying something. Crap for frying, too low a smoke point, apparently the "cheap" stuff is terrible yet nobody can tell the difference between extra virgin, virgin and...

    Tory Andrea Leadsom says the cost of living crisis is over…

    Yeah, I was just making an example, and I read the same report every month 👍 This is what is worrying me, most peoples largest outgoing, by far, is aspects do with housing. It's also something which realistically can't be cut out from the expenditure, and it's largely still rising, and will...
