I've scribbled something about the potential 3p per mile electric vehicle charge in the UK. llewellyn.substack.com/p/3p-a-mile?...

Some observations. Mileage is ALREADY shown against MOT data in the online dotGov checker. No need to add additional work for garages. How do you know what part of that mileage is on private land? Why have one system for EV & another for liquids, seems like there is a cost saving to be had here.

18 U.S. states now have local guaranteed income pilots that are proving that UBI works. It cuts poverty, boosts stability, and respects dignity. The question isn’t if we can do #UBI. It’s when we’ll scale it.

Two things came in at the bifurcation: Thatcherism, and the microprocessor. I think the latter was much more significant and influential. We need Universal Basic Income.

I refuse to pay £20pcm extra to watch F1 on Sky. BBC Sports app gives me excellent commentary for quali and race. VPN gives me video to match. Both using services I’m already paying for.

Streaming services - never mind a 'Skip Intro' or 'Skip Recap' option. We need a 'Skip What's Coming Up' option. The first 5 mins (at least) on programmes showing us what's going to happen are the worst thing ever invented in the tv industry. Just let me watch with no spoilers.

For “All options are on the table” read “I/We don‘t know what the fuck to do!” Delete as appropriate.

Do you think world leaders have a “not Donald chat”?

Rob Clarke @thatrobclarke.bsky.social · 09/04/2025
For example… the “not dad chat” is most likely talking about me and either how annoying I can be sometime or what to get me for my birthday/fathers day this year.

We have a number of chat groups in our dispersed family, if we want to share certain memes or maybe plan surprises for family members that explicitly exclude that one family member. Do you?

Does anyone remember that really old movie, where the President of the USA falls ill and is replaced by a really nice guy who who looks just like him?!

Worth pointing out that Sir Keith’s announcement today is for NHS **ENGLAND**. Wales has it’s own NHS that is managed differently.

The money cycle should be made to be like the water cycle or carbon cycle. Keep it moving, don’t hoard it and don’t magic it out of nowhere with “creative accounting”.

Interest rates around the world should be scrapped and all outstanding loans recalculated to 0% interest. Same for investment and savings.

We need a big crunch to rein the 1% in. The expanding economy is like expanding spacetime. We keep inventing money from nowhere and giving it to the 1%.

There are people in this world striving to join the 1%. That is their goal above all else. The don’t realise that the 1% is like the expanding universe and can never be caught. All the wannabes do is hurt the rest of use and feed the 1%.

Take a moment to think back 10/20 years. Remember what the world was like for you then & what you though it would be like now. Next think about how the world will be for you 10/20 years from now. STOP! Stop worry about the future and get on with now. Make the best of now, it wont come again.
