What the heck is unelected Eric Trump blathering on about on Sky Tv ? Oil and Gas production hasn’t been “shut down in the North Sea” its a new licence that’s the issue, and of course Trumps war is a cause of rising oil prices. Sounds to me like he’s interfering in domestic politics.

Richard Tice reckons climate change should be “celebrated” since wine is getting better. Yet he lives in a place with no vineyards because it’s too hot and dry. Idiot.

Anyone else thinking these “bug killers” being advertised on TV to kill insects because they spoil your barbecue might also be responsible for killing bees , butterflies , ladybirds etc etc as well as insects like stag beetles , all of which are vital to the environment ?

High in the Swiss Alps, on a concrete dam wall more than 8,000 feet above the sea, someone bolted thousands of solar panels to a place almost no one thought

Female bearded tits, also known as bearded reedlings, are small, cinnamon-brown birds with long, tapered tails, yellowish bills, and pale eyes. Unlike males, females lack the striking grey heads and bold black moustaches they blend perfectly into their native reed habitats.

Sorry. We have become a nasty vindictive country. Any refugee given leave to remain earning enough to pay back this £10,000 will already be paying income tax. So effectively we are offering help in a crisis then charging twice them for the “privilege”.

This could be hilarious. So a Reform tax on employing say anyone with a foreign heritage. To fund National insurance cuts which fund the NHS where loads of them work. Will they tell the Dukes of Lancaster and Cornwall as major employers they have to pay a new tax before or after the Kings Speech? 🤣

Just an observation. Lots of people don’t eat meat. I personally wouldn’t eat a whale. Those of many faiths and none don’t eat some meats and pigs are portrayed as unclean in the Bible. So why do racists seem to think it’s hilarious to go on about bacon sandwiches to anyone of Muslim heritage ?

There are parts of Brooklyn where the best Jewish style deli food is at halal restaurants owned and operated by Yemeni Muslim immigrants who learned how to make wonderfully authentic brisket, pastrami, and corned beef. It's so perfectly New York and sums up so much of what's great about this city.

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.
