The Starmer comedy show is going along nicely, plenty more to come me thinks on that one, in particular why he’s always in  Ali’s apartments 🤔. 

 

That's better, the Daily Starmer Report.

I heard the other day his thumb went through the toilet paper and he smelled it!

I hope you’re all happy with what you voted for.

It is a bit weird that you never actually meet anyone who voted for Labour.

 

We’ve all got jobs I suppose.

Let me know when you have confirmed the facts you questioned in the post 👍

I can’t see that happening, I’d imagine Ali’s paper is quality, scented super soft top of the range stuff. A thumb 👍?? you  double jointed Mick ?

El Nino. Not climate change BS.

 

Oh, right ho. Really? I thought it was all down to cloud seeding, and arsonists. Or maybe just  El Starmer again.

No shortage of material with this bunch of clowns in government it would seem.

Labour wants a million new homes in 3 years and they are building new rivers and groundwater to supply them

Southern Water unveils 'utterly ludicrous' plan to ship water from Norwegian fjords to the UK | Daily Mail Online

WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK

---

Southern Water, which serves 4.7 million customers, has submitted official plans to bring in 45 million litres of glacial meltwater daily for six weeks in case of drought.

 

 

Sounds like a good idea.

 

They already pipe oil & gas.

Electricity comes over via cable.

 

The Fjords arn't freshwater though....

they are on about glacial meltwater, so I guess taking it from specific places before it mixes up with too much seawater

 

It is a good idea to help get through a drought - I remember '76 that was bad enough and now there are probably a third more homes in the UK to supply. There was a worse drought before my time in the 60's, a few elderly people have told me about having to queue for water at standpipes.

It seems to me utter madness for the politicians to allow the UK population to keep growing through immigration - no one can predict the long term weather - if it gets really dry here it will be all build windmills and solar just to power desalination plants.

Sicily in July this year - worst drought they've had for ages

It’s absolutely ridiculous to even need to contemplate it - we live in one of the wettest places on earth! We have an amazing existing water infrastructure but it has not been maintained or had any increase in capacity for the last couple of decades as the privatised water companies have prioritised paying dividends (unchecked by successive governments) over inward investment. 
There is no excuse for water shortages in the UK - it only occurs as a direct result of greed and mismanagement.
