We close the last coal fired power station in Britain in the same month as a massive coal fired power station goes on line in India China are opening up new coal fired power stations all the time. We are sitting on enough coal to provide us with power for the next 1000 years and its FREE we just have to dig it out. Utter madness. Woke stupidity.

Bus passes

As we are seeing again. The left is insidious and it has never gone away. All the old trolls are coming out from under their bridges where they have been hiding. Neither extreme is good but IMO they are the most dangerous.

The socialists have long appreciated the value in name calling as a way of demeaning other people's views Do you remember the anti nazi league? They used to picket the houses of people with any sort of right wing views chanting Nazi Nazi.

Just wait till the deaths start hitting the front pages around Christmas Every year old people die of hypothermia and it barely gets mentioned. This year it will be different, the papers and the news channels will all over every case. Political suicide

They will come out ten times worse than they went in. Young offender Institutions like Feltham are full of gang culture and fear. It's all about being the hardest and the toughest to earn status and respect

Absolutely anything can be deemed to be an offensive weapon A bunch of keys, a pencil, even a sewing needle, it's all about the intent However, that intent has to be proved to a satisfactory degree in a court of law. It's all about the where, when and how you happened to be in possession of them

Including on here

The RSPCA is not what it appears to be to the general public. I think Brian May has just come to realise and credit to him if that's the case.

He can never return, life has not got a reverse gear

Israel can never win, history shows that if they haven't won by now it isn't going to happen It all goes back to 1947/8

I think everyone knew about it but it's about who do you tell?

He owns Ecotricity a green energy supplier and (I believe) he is the reason why they are pushing net zero in the way that they are.

It wasn't going to be long before the Communist foundations on which the Labour party was founded started to be felt.

Good post

They are a contradiction. An EV is perfect for a family runabout or a short commute but if they lose all their value in six years instead of twenty the numbers don't work out On the other hand an EV is useless for a high milage business users who is on the road all day every day. To me it's all badly thought out and I can't see how it can ever work

No I don't have a source that I have saved . I read a lot in news feeds. The prediction was based on the cost/ life cycle of an EV being entirely dependent on the life of the battery Unlike an IC car the life ( in years) can't be extended by low use. My wife's car is 16 years old and still drives like a new car. There are millions of such runabout on the roads at present doing the shopping and the school runs. EVs are dead at seven years even if they only do three thousand miles a year. The economic life cycle is completely different for an EV compared to an IC car and families and occasional users will just be priced out of car ownership. That's the basis of the prediction but you can see already they are starting to factor into new housing (for example) the expectation of much reduced number of cars. New developments are being built with very little parking . It's going to be interesting to see how it all works out

Yes I've seen the photos and the are not that good. £68 GRAND for that? I'm in the wrong job

That's a good post but you don't address the forecast 75% drop off in volume of car sales when EVs are all we can buy. The reason for that is not within the control of the car industry unless they can produce much cheaper cars that last longer.

The bigger question which nobody seems to be asking is what Lord Ali is getting out of this in return ?

He will learn that leaks are part of the fabric of Westminster life. If he thinks he is going to stop them it simply demonstrates how nieve he is.

And Angela Raynor has been having a freebie holiday in New York with another MP . I wonder how that got out. But the answer is simple? If you don't do sleazy things there is nothing to leak

Power cuts are much more serious these days because everything is digital

Yes it is recognised. The network will have to be trebled to be able to cope. But it's not a problem because we haven't got the electricity generation capacity anyway.

The fear is that they will initially only be able to use the motorway cameras to record journeys so it will effectively turn the motorway network (and the major A roads) into toll roads. However, to avoid the tolls traffic will divert off the motorway and trundle through the back roads and villages where they won't be detected. Greatly increasing the congestion and the number of accidents. It's another way of implementing an anti car agenda. Like gun control they just make it harder and more unpleasant to do what we thought we had a right to do. Socialism is all about subjugation
