Remembering when we had to bail out the banks… and we were told they had toxic stuff in their balance sheets…now it’s Nuclear…you know…that thing we really need for the “base load”… this liability didn’t feature on the recent BBC energy feature (they must do better)…

Stirring words indeed. On the day we let hundreds of offenders out of prison on early release as our prisons are overwhelmed, we replace them with a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer… exercising nothing but free speech…not a terrorist and they know it …what kind of madness is this…?

Just a reminder that if the water “market” worked like the oil markets we’d have no hose pipe bans in the U.K. … just a bunch of people priced out of access to drinking water. So if we just drive less and save some oil usage why are we paying so much more ? The people who own the asset/markets£

It has been this way since time immemorial. Spending a billion a day on a ‘not’ war. Meanwhile, all you suckers can starve, die because you can’t afford healthcare or find new treatments for disease. And who the fuck needs education and arts? We aren’t mad enough!!
Several tables are set with individuals behind them waiting to be served. The tables have signs — Education, Sciences, Arts, Healthcare… no one is serving them. All of the servers are delivering piles of money to the table where WAR is sitting.

COMMENTARY: Years ago, Sweden made global headlines by sending preparedness leaflets to all its households that have since become a trend across Europe. But now, the country is ahead of the game once more, this time with a preparedness leaflet specifically for businesses.

Sweden’s still ahead in the preparedness game — and now it means business
In today’s geopolitical reality, informing companies of threats that could harm them and how they can prepare is becoming indispensable.

Write to your MP. If they ignore you at least you tried. But this government has miraculously both got stuff right and simultaneously and spectacularly poked its supporters in the eyes as its tin eared leaders are avoiding what the majority want. If they can’t read the polls they should hear you!

This Letby case alone should cause a review of the role of unchallenged experts in court cases. Having a panel opinion rather than what seems to frequently be axe grinders pedalling their pet, if lucrative theories? Or waggon circles of corporate arse covering…and the law being an ass.

This morning BBC radio 4 are reporting the major overhaul of the Kew Gardens Palm House…without mentioning that air and water heat pump technology will be used. Such a missed opportunity to reinforce a government promoted heat pump roll out…because it’s “controversial” due to “net zero” being also?
