The lunatics will get away with this madness until the lights go out. Quick flight out to the COP bollocks and promise to destroy our economy and energy security even more. The facts about electricity costs just don’t seem to be registering yet.

Same shit different country. At least he’s getting deported, unfortunately he may well end up here, what with him being a poor unfortunate asylum seeker looking for a better life.

Gas boiler ban for new homes ‘by 2027’

Pure lunacy, combine this with the most expensive electricity in the world and labours plan to shut gas power stations and the consequences are going to be disastrous, we are in the hands of ideological nut jobs. 
Sitting this morning watching the BBC interview Milliband at the COP shin dig and quite frankly it’s absolutely farcical, the BBC are a joke, only interested in how labour will work with Trump, not a single pertinent question and quite frankly Milliband is utterly and dangerously delusional . Not once did the interviewer ask the simple questions ie why have we got the most expensive electricity in the world, what would you do last week when wind and solar plummeted to virtually zero, how can we be world leaders in an industry where the manufacturing centres are well established in other countries, powered by cheap energy !!. Currently this country which contributes 1% of global emissions leads the world in one thing only and that’s the price we pay for electricity. For all those who voted Labour 👍well done.

This is a tough one. What are people's thoughts?

 

I feel it's the right thing to do, though it makes me uneasy.

An absolute moral dilemma unfortunately. I’ve an uncle who is in care with Alzheimer’s, totally unaware of his self or surroundings, does not recognise any of us, doubly incontinent requiring care for even the most basic needs, which for a proud man who worked in the mines  all his life and stood on his own two feet is just horrendous. I know he would not want to live this way if he had any choice. The dilemma is his health as such is fine it’s only the cognitive ability that has gone. For me he is dead already as what made my uncle my uncle is gone. But it’s tough one as it’s potentially open to abuse in many ways. Pleased it’s not my decision.
