And why is Dyson one of the UK's largest landowners, why does Warren buffet own most of the US railways, why put up a wind turbine that just pays for itself before it's fit for the scrap heap.

 

I hate the media confusing USA and UK agricultural in ever hit piece.

Warren Buffet , via Berkshire Hathaway (of which he owns around 16% of the economic interest) owns a large share (not by any means most) of  US railways because his investment strategy is, and has always been, to invest in companies that produce or offer services that the majority need.

I think half of their problem is that they've accrued so much wealth they can't do anything more with it in a bank other than buying an island like Barclay brother or an actual bank.

 

Think of the recent laughable downfall of the crypto kid and the missing money or many more similar tech flash in the pans.

Bollox Gareth , he’s buying up as much land as possible, what’s his reason behind this ?? Feed the people with some protein crap from a lab, every human needs food but it’s the one thing they don’t have full control of although you could argue in terms of who controls seed banks and there engineering … in this country I think they are in a stage of getting as rid of and green washing farming, every time I turn on the news there’s more bollox from the bbc about how dairy is responsible for the end of the world….. there will only be a large factory style farms left I think in the future. 😬

Another thing is what children are being taught… gay B C’s does a 4 year old need to know this , in my eyes this is tantamount to child grooming and whoever is responsible should be locked up.

I have my 7 year old nephew staying telling me my cows are bad because they fart because that’s what they have told him at school. 

My misses goes to baby classes with this lass who was telling her that her youngest boy would not speak to his dad for 3 days … they finally got to the bottom of it and it was because the teacher had told him to not speak to his dad because he kills trees… this is keilder primary for gods sake!! Most the kids dads work in forestry and probably some of the most sustainable forestry in the world!

Yeap, the lunatics have sadly come full circle as the youth have now become university professors.

 

All you ever see is screeching and screaming but zero reasoned thought as they have no idea how to discuss or even have an argument, through which there would be a possibility to change their or someone else's opinion.

Our local primary school seems to mainly engage the children in making signs for "save the bees" and "stop cutting this grass" which they erect on the verge at major road junctions. I don't suppose they explain to them the road safety reasons for cutting verges at junctions though.

 

Ironically of course the school itself is entirely surrounded by tarmac and concrete to keep the wee ones shoes clean, they all get taken and collected in individual cars that cause gridlock as they all have to be dropped right at the gates, and their playing field is cut a lot more frequently than the road verges but no evidence of protest signs there.

A good percentage of these problems are through not teaching kids to have an open and inquisitive mind.

 

And believing whatever your told is fact without even a second thought, that's nothing to do with tolerance.

 

As even when I grew up we didn't care, do what you want kinda attitude. Teacher's your here to teach the three r's nothing more.

I will say the lack of actual teaching practical skills was one of the reasons I gave up training to be a D&T teacher.

 

I kid you not one term project was assembling a kit plastic toy and painting a design on fabric to make it look like a duck/chicken etc.

 

And they wonder why adults can't wire a plug
