  1. Think you'll find they'll be falling petty swiftly, as things like meat are 12 week plus for poultry. Electric is because of Joe and his wind, which funnily enough is getting cancelled as companies don't want want to put them up. Plus Canada isn't as abundant as you believe, BC hydro maybe short term but they don't have a lot of CANDU capacity in winter. President of something, but chair of the college extinction rebellion outfit probably best not gloating about.
  2. It not a distraction, I just don't sit doom scrolling as plenty of news has said he's having a positive effect especially on food and energy falling in the next 2 months. But as per usual you're always evading what you do for a living almost as though your ashamed!.
  3. You always seem soooo critical of every decision, yet always fail to find a solution. Carrying on as it was, isn't a solution, neither is letting everyone flood over the borders or giving hunter 18 special agents for security. Find solutions, I know you're job in some anonymous corporate cubicle probably rewards inaction and not changing things.
  4. They weren't junior, but probationary. Like any business, LIFO. But yes, a return to normal non climate alarmism and restarting nuclear. I read the Dutch are restarting their nuclear later this year after climate types closed it a few years back, the french are planning 6 under a government backed loan and orano expansion. So yes, less rhetoric and more action.
  5. Just because it's not splashed over your Twatter feeds doesn't mean good things aren't happening. I just don't need to trawl the depths of social media finding TDS memes and going into a chicken little doom spiral. If you want doom spiral fire up the labour thread.
  6. Says the man that enjoys searching the internet for what can only be described as doom spiral news coverage.
  7. Has the hydraulic oil been changed recently before It's failure?. Whilst no experience of the alpine, the tractors of a certain vintage had a very particular and specific oil that was very expensive as the usual uto wasn't suitable.
  8. Wtf are you rambling on about, maybe it's time for you to stand in line for your next dose of methadone. I'm still waiting for you to explain propaganda, but I think such concepts are beyond you.
  9. Yeap, all the peace, love tranquility bs at the end of every post when in reality he's just another mouthy Karen that doesn't like to be told their ideas are shite. And seems to think shouting western values at former soviet types isn't propaganda. Oh it's not propaganda if it's our views and our values must be better than theirs.
  10. Just because it's western values doesn't detract from it being the dictionary definition of propaganda. Explain to me how it's not propaganda!
  11. What shit am I making up, huh ?. The American radio stuff was propaganda and should have ceased post Berlin wall falling. Exactly the same a the BBC world service, if they don't like us wtf should pay for them to listen. Lord haw haw was German propaganda, so how is that any different!.
  12. Usual insert and repeat tds. I know it's a had concept for lefty socialism types, money has to come from somewhere and brainwashing propaganda obviously isn't getting value for money is it!. It it was the USA would be praised and loved instead of being milked like the town cow. For reference the USA defence budget is 895 billion!.
  13. Regarding this propaganda funding you're so shocked by, are you equally unhappy that Rory Stewarts Mrs's charity for teaching art in Afghanistan or something has been cut ?.
  14. How is that defending, it's 3/4 of Trillion dollars FFS of propaganda around the world. So is it propaganda?, or able to stand on it's own feet.
  15. In the cold war maybe, as you're effectively arguing for state sponsored propaganda in Europe and Asia via CIA/NSA etc. I seem to remember that didn't end well for certain Lord Haw haw. And didn't hear you moaning when we scaled down the world service, as that's our version of a propaganda tool.
  16. Well that's a saving of "$886-million budget in 2024, according to its latest report to Congress." reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM
  17. Yes I'm aware it's much much longer, it was supposedly around 600 before the financial wonderkin Gordon started playing and smudging things. Then surprise surprise cilla it all went to the dogs. You make it complex and collapses happen and dodgy dealings, that my point.
  18. Thing is the whole charity thing is effectively tax offset not avoiding tax, they still pay a percentage but it doesn't go to the government. The Starbucks example is the same for Amazon, Google, Microsoft etc. The same Ikea 30% profit model, every layer is separate including trademark and royalties. It's legal because they only tax whichever layer and where, it the same thing Branson does leasing the virgin name. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but you make a system as simple as possible and it gets followed, same as here it 600+ pages of vagueness. Wasn't the usa system created because of Rockefeller or similar his earnings were like 5 times the USA ?.
  19. Yes it can become compost, but that's why it's classed as waste for most people and requires paying for its disposal and paperwork. If it was going for processing into compost/chip that's a different thing, it's a bit of a grey area, but he needs to explain what and where he was taking it. If it was to a bonfire pile down on Dave's farm, he's bang to rights I'm afraid.
  20. The question that needs asking is what was he carrying. And if it was for example hedge clippings how he thinks anyone would accept such waste.
  21. What will be interesting is the sniper rifle replacement trials that has been talked about. I think they buy those direct from accuracy international, supposedly they were getting laughed at by other forces. Which seemed dumb as I'm betting the AI ones still shot the pants off whatever the others use. Atleast the old SA80 MK3 was mostly UK made before Enfield closed. That Sig just looks like a stoner AR clone
  22. Personally I'd get rid of the offsetting tax things using charity. That's how the rich reduce tax in the USA, whilst you can argue it's good for museums etc as that's why we had a lot of libraries here funded in part by Carnegie.
  23. No, 2 months. Sleepy Joe, pretty much erased everything Donald did last time. That's why this time it's all guns blazing, so the results can be seen quickly and visible over the next 3.5 years as Donald 1 took the slow approach and that backfired before they had been implemented and realised.
  24. The man has been in power for what 2 months!. It's called pragmatism, instead of automatically resorting to believing its a salt the earth scenario. From what I've seen the state employees are 50% larger than when Clinton downsized it.
  25. Digs included breakfast, if they didn't you got a £5 for that. £7 for lunch and evening meal was £15 depending. Other than that WiFi was a given, everything else was out your own pocket as per at home.
