There has not been a rise in sea levels, al gore was telling us decades ago that Manhattan would be underwater.

 

It has not happened, same with his polar bears prediction.

 

Yeah, changes driven by climate nutters and billionaires. I am pragmatic about the climate, but death cult extremists achieve almost as much as that perpetual truant.

but there is scope for fundamental change for the better and to bring it back to the tree house, I prefer to see things like that without permission than another block of crappy boxes with it. 

 

I'd agree, up to a point.

 

That point being, and where I am sure we are quite closely aligned, if it were an absolute necessity to satisfy the basic human need for shelter and security for the individual, then I would probably not have batted an eyelid.

 

That is very far from being the case here though.

 

This is a swanky posh pad air B&B at just shy of £200 a night as a revenue stream (there are (currently) still some interesting tax incentives for air B&B BTW) so it is not a case of man against the system.  It is self entitled landed gentry mugging off the peasants so that his London mates can go glamping in Cornwall and on top of that, what pisses me off even more, is that he absolutely 'should' and by his own admission DID know that he needed to seek consent which is exactly what he comments upon in relation to others as a parish councillor, but he mugged that off too.

 

Sympathy is found between shit and Syphilis in the dictionary...

Honestly I genuinely think some of these left leaning politicians are borderline insane or are so used to living in publicly funded socialist bubbles they are literally out of touch with reality. 

[GarethM]

Probably the socialist bubble and a lack of reality, I remember watching something ages ago that highlighted the first use of the world trillion in USA debt.

 

Before it was a number you could understand as billions are scary, but when you're in trillion all concept of how much it actually is disappears.

 

I could probably buy everything within the M25 for a trillion and turn it into a scene from 28 days later.

It’s starting to look like Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter could be one of the greatest acts of hubris, the biggest loss of money and bringer of some of the biggest laughs of all time.

Just Stop Oil confirmed they are behind this morning's protests on the M25.

Keep driving and leave the fools to crack on and hopefully the cold and the rain will do what the police haven’t got the balls for.
