Utterly heartbreaking. Its unconditional and somehow worse when they go.

So just ‘n’ Dave now then?

Yes it was much better when Bolty was cleaning his ute. His interjections tend to drag all conversations in the same direction(less).

I suspect he had the shit kicked out of him by a punk back in the 60’s and has never recovered from having to fish his big coat, his air fryer and his teeth out of a canal when the punks owned him.

He’s terrified of the gays in particular We all know why

Got to admire how the situation created by Trump is conveniently ignored when blaming labour for higher energy costs. Trump is busy winning the war for the (at least) 8th time this weekend yet somehow Starmer is the one responsible for the choke point in Hormuz. Doublethink at its absolute crankiest 🥳

Tell me as simply as you can muster how drilling in the North Sea right now will reduce our energy bills within 10 years. Explain it in real detail. And whatever you do, please remember to include the part about how pricing is set. Thanks in advance.

Boby posted a cartoon yesterday suggesting the exact opposite

Did you know that Ed Miliband looks a bit daft when he eats a bacon sandwich though?

Good friend of mine works in Tianjin. Says the level of surveillance there would send Brits wild. Facial recognition cameras every hundred yards and you can receive a fine in the post for littering.

Trump has won this war 7 times. He’s negotiated a peace settlement 12 times. And he’s opened the Strait of Hormuz at least 4 times. What more do you want from him?

A cartoon attempting to prove an argument is peak W’Ways 😁 All of this would make for a better debate if the starting point for all comments was “it’s labours fault” Because this goes back further than 2024.

Just a load of hippies and green nutcases obviously. They’ve got all that gas and oil they could be using.

70% of norwegian houses get their heating and hot water from air source heat pumps. Yet they have all that oil and gas for peanuts. Strange country.

Bolty won’t understand that. He’s barely 5 posts away from using the word recalcitrant at this point then we know he’s struggling.

Thick as absolute fuck. Also, “tell him from me…” is something I’ve not had happen to me since primary school when me and Andrew Parker fell out over some Lego. Big silly old demented Australian weirdo.

You’ll just be accused of being a hippy with things like this. quite honestly, there is a place for both. The measures taken over recent decades to stem global warming have actually worked, this is what the ruddy-cheeked simpletons never even consider when mouthing off about solar panels and wind farms. It’s not perfect but it’s definitely stopped what was a runaway train of pollution.

I’m sure they will. I’ve never said we shouldn’t, what I’m saying is that people seem to think we just turn up with a drill and some barrels and suddenly our bills will drop by 50%. Facts are falling victim to hyperbole and bullshit. The realisation that any gas we find won’t immediately drop our bills will dawn and leave folk wondering why. I’ll repeat what I’ve said every time - balance is key with fossils and renewables. We need both.

You might know how much gas there is and how much and how quickly our bills will drop?

I had 2 meetings with Kathryn Fletcher MP for Ribble a couple of years back. She was on a select committee for science and innovation and was a huge advocate for renewable energy (in particular these small nuclear plants that are cheap to build and operate). She explained that reserves simply couldn’t be relied on anymore for the UK, and she had access to expert knowledge that sits well beyond any political influence. What she did say was that if we can get the balance right between renewables and fossil fuels, Britain could realistically have a lot of control whilst not having to go fully green, which is impossible anyway given our infrastructure and housing stock. She was calm, balanced, assured and I think correct. Miliband is extreme but he’ll never get his own way and he knows it. What he does know is that a realistic balance can be achieved so he will continue to push the green agenda and rightly so (caveat, his targets are bollocks and he knows this.). kathryn Fletcher is a Tory btw. And a bloody good one.

Searching isn’t the same as having. norway have proven levels. What we have is hope. Maybe we find a trillion and all is well, but in the meantime we still need energy.

So now you believe Reeves???? Blimey 😊

People rattle on about Norway. Just for clarification, we maybe should have sorted those Vikings out sooner:

I’m guessing too, but using “common” knowledge gleaned from sites such as Google. Maybe you go elsewhere but then it’s a case of which source do we believe?:

So you’re guessing. Fair enough. Governments don’t really have that luxury.
