I watched it on Adrew Marr this morning Eggs. It was quite funny, no sooner had he said he would like to see Comrade Corbyn as PM, the light of realisation dawned on him, that apart from a particular quadrant of society, anything that came out of his treacherous, murdering, terrorist, scum bag mouth would be the kiss of death as far as any sane individual was concerned.... Hey-Ho... Hamas, IRA, PLO..... Some canny friends the Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition has, not to mention the lunatics in the shadow Cabinet.

So unlike what where we wuz edumacated.... (or is that, like my reply, a regional dialect??)

Does it expand to the lb for lb growth comparison for pasture raised beef Mull? It should be obvious (to a blind man) that ‘fed’ rather than grazed cattle is madness, but then so is grazed cattle madness - just slightly less so than fed. Vast expanses of mono-culture grass with flail cut hedges (like the patch work fields that people have come to recognise as a ‘rural landscape’) are no justification for NFU to claim farmers are the ‘custodians of the countryside’ just because they get paid to set aside a couple of acres of unproductive land and call it “stewardship.” Eat less meat is the only way to check the industrial exploitation of the environment. Farming is a profit driven, business always seeking greater output and consuming more resources - just like any other manufacturing business. The main difference is farmers use baler twine to hold their trousers up and keep the gate closed whilst telling everybody that they know best how to ‘manage’ the land whilst a factory boss uses a Gucci belt, has electric gates and keeps quiet about the resources he uses and the pollution he generates.... Top of the morning to ya by the way....

I'm not stressing it..... Vesp will tell us when and who to vote for..... It'll be easier than deciding myself - take last time: Corbyn et al, not an option. Local Tory, not an option. Lib Dems waste of time. No UKIP candidate. No BNP candidate. No independent worth a toss. Ended up voting Green! Sad state of affairs really.....

I just thought it was the whisky at this end!

Potentially, 6-12 months I'd say, not that I'd welcome the upheaval, but it may be inevitable. JRM or Corbyn - which one for you Mr E???

Without wishing to morph into the religious, capitalist / socialist debate.... He is an unabashed man of faith, and separately, independently wealthy.... Questions: Can he (financially) sustain the children he has brought into the world? (wether the world could sustain every human couple x 6 is another matter....) If we accept his right to be of a 'faith', and that faith doesn't allow contraception, can we criticise him for following his faith? Not sure where that would lead us....? (Well, I pretty much am sure actually) If we were to question 'his' right to a family, would that necessarily 'require' us to apply equal scrutiny and judgement to all....?

I'm not sure if it's your overt dislike like of a quality daily news outlet, or an assumed dislike of Tories that prevented your accurate correction of the obvious journalistic inaccuracies of the story Mr E... Not a debate for now (I'm on the firewater) but will make for an interesting discussion soon....

That wouldn't necessarily discount him as a future PM....

There is a "2", which has some amusing content, but like most sequels, it plays to the reputation of its forerunner and rather lacks the depth and gritty originality of the first outing. "...Bleddy Hell, the big boys are here, Ginsters have got a helicopter..." was a notable high point.....

I've posted it before..... But it will NEVER cease to be hilarious.....

That is HILARIOUS!!! There will be those in Mebyon Kernow that will actually BELIVE that.... Absolutely BRILLIANT!!

It’s a bit of a standing joke! it just won’t DIE!

Pretty ‘king naive taking a cuppa from someone that you don’t know.

Could this finally be the "tail end" of the thread that Mick, quite some time ago, wished would wither and die....... ?

What's his name ↑ Is he the guy from "Falling Down?" An all time favourite film.... The guy just wants some breakfast! PS - it's neither "news" nor "of today" but whats a little derail on page 666?

Move to Cornwall.... There's a significant MAJORITY!

Don’t see that it can be. Subscription to BSL as a supplier is a choice as is the choice, of the customer, who / what they buy. Can’t tell people what to do, only make it preferable to take a certain course through incentives (or restrictions such as clean air act type) and Gov has got that spectacularly wrong on so many levels: Solar PV FiT, Commercial RHI, diesel cars, working tax credits etc, etc. It seems to me, every time there’s a “beneficial incentive” there’s some smart Alec finding a beneficial loop-hole and exposing catastrophic unintended consequences. Im feeling a “glass half empty” kind of day coming on... (maybe just feeling a bit teasy since little’un jumped on me at 05:00!)

Or is it clevererer than we've given them credit for? Make it impossible to achieve sub 20% = no RHI qualifying firewood = no RHI payments....? But, what's the alternative, revert back to mainstream energy supply?

I'm just shooting from memory rather than having checked first Beau, but I think sub 20% is a requirement of eligibility for registration on BSL for firewood. I haven't taken too much notice since I'm not selling, just keeping the accreditation alive since it's easier to keep it going rather than sign off and re-apply.

That's interesting. I've missed that completely. Can't say I'd be opposed to firewood drying kilns being extracted from RHI qualification. No offence to anyone that's doing it, it just never sat well with me.

They had one the newly jobless pieces of ass on LBC earlier.... No wonder they sacked her, you could only bear the whinging for a very limited time... After all, if any one wanter HER opinion, she'd have been told what is was going to be...

Is that stipulated anywhere? Haven't seen that news?

Mentioned it on another thread: "anyone see the piece on wood fires on Newsnight last night...? Although a ‘soft’ / early, fairly meaningless piece, it could be the harbinger of the potential demonisation of solid fuel probably leading to tax and dissuasion tactics to follow from government policy" Makes you wonder....
