1·26 days agoWhy would the rats try to catch more rats?
My parents, and my partner’s parents and aunts and uncles all watch GB News. They seem to think that it’s “the immigrants” that are causing all their woes even though most of them are now retired or close to retiring.
Gen X, Millennials, and Zoomers aren’t the target demographic for GB News I suspect. I do hope it isn’t going to sway the country to voting in Reform in the future.
How do we even move towards this level of change? It’s obvious that we will not get the opportunity to vote in a party that does this. I feel like the course we are on won’t change dramatically without some kind of revolution, and I would think anything like that would quickly get shut down before it ever begins.
It is legal, but under specific conditions. Better than it could be, not as good as it should be.
Probably. Likely to cater to the older generation of technophobes.
This was my mistake and you’re right. I had read as part of an announcement in the news that Ethanol is used for beer, wine, and spirits. Seems I wasn’t the only fool.
Just one possible example would be that Ethanol is used in making beer, wines, and spirits. If pre-pandemic it was found people were socialising after work more than they are now, the consumption of those things would have been greater compared to now. I imagine they will want people socialising more after work to buy more booze to make the most of the imported Ethanol.
With the latest ethanol trade deal with the US, I can only imagine there is going to be another big push to eliminate WFH/hybrid working in a lot of businesses.
That’s right, us peasants shouldn’t be at home with our families and loved ones, we should be working long hours, sitting in traffic or stood waiting for another late train, and then spending what we’ve earned on drowning our frustrations of the hamster wheel we’re on at the end of the day.
I’m really hoping this whole push to get everyone back in to the office is a generational thing from the boomers, and once they’re finally retired we can see a new shift in the workplace. But then that is probably being too optimistic.
I’m surprised the BBC didn’t include the national insurance changes around Indians coming to the UK not having to pay NI in the first 3 years, and vice versa for UK people going to India. Seems like a fairly big part of the deal that no doubt Reform/Tories will latch onto to bring the anti-immigrantion lot to a frothing rage.
I think you’re right, they know it’s a problem and they agree something needs to be done. There is a lot connected to it and it has a large impact on the image of the politicians.
Think? A lot of people know most of them are in it for themselves. It’s just a career to a lot of them, lining up the next job, and sorting a lot of their mates out.

Just continue to struggle to survive for the next few years people, and then everything will be dandy.
I’m no mathematician, so I passed this request through an AI, and we know how accurate they can be…anyway:
It estimates that we’d need 3.23 billion bananas 🍌 to fill 2500 hectares of space if anyone wants a bananas for scale.
You need the right conditions to build shitty housing.
Too wet? Can’t build. Too cold? Can’t build. Too hot? Can’t build. Clear blue sky, with temperatures around 19c with a nice cool breeze? Well you can’t build on a day like that, you have to enjoy the weather down the pub.
Here’s hoping they don’t get in when the next GE rolls around.
It’s not just the cost that prevents heat pumps from being viable, there are other costs too. In order to have a heat pump the house needs to be fully insulated, not just loft insulation. Radiators need changing, and there needs to be sufficient space for the heat pump unit.
There are plenty of houses with solid brick walls rather than cavity, which costs a lot more for external/internal insulation installation. Older houses were never built with the idea of heat pumps in mind, and so I think there needs to be a much more realistic and viable solution.
Signed. I’ve not got high expectations for this but it’s worth a try.
They’ll do anything but tax the rich…
