Just you wait - when the oil & gas-drillers work out that it really is the end-game, they'll start pouring billions into in-orbit, mega sun-shields "to cool the earth." Why? Because then, if you pay them money, they'll tweak the shields for a while to let the sunshine through to your solar panels...
But... I find you strangely attractive! π
βAustralians can now live & work freely in the EU for 4 years and vice versa
That means they now have ππππ EU rights than British people. Free movement offered millions of us fantastic opportunities but Brexiteers slammed that door shut, most shamefully on their own childrenβ
You cannot βantisemitismβ your way out of committing genocide in Gaza and now displacing 1 million people in South Lebanon so you can steal their homeland. The state of Israel is the problem and there is nothing antisemitic about criticizing it.
Tell you what, Nigel twenty-jobs, do some detective training for 5, maybe 10 years and see if you can't get yet another job as an assistant detective to the pros.
I'm sure that you'd give them plenty of great tips & hints and I'm sure they'd love to have you along (not)! π
Polanski may well want to scrap the UK's nuclear deterrent but I don't think it's the will of the electorate. I suggest he has a chat with Jeremy Corbyn, who failed to get into No10 quite possibly for this very reason.
A non-nuclear-armed world would be good but let's start with Israel...
Luna 9 was the first successful landing on the moon. Sent by the Soviets.
".. We came in peace for all mankind" was inscribed on the plaque left by the Apollo manned mission.
The Soviets were first to land on the moon; the Americans first to put astronauts on it ("We came for ALL mankind", I seem to remember). Since then, India & China have landed there (with mixed success).
It's never been America's to 'give up'; They've never occupied it & repelled boarders.
Arrogant.
What's the source of this claim? If Trump IS sending classified info to Russia, then go for the jugular - but the interweb is full of lies. Caveat emptor.
Where is the balance, #BBC?
Where is the balance, #OFCOM?
This is political bias.
If you disagree, BBC & OFCOM, show us the numbers. Show us the hours of coverage by party, by council, on primetime tv & radio and non-primetime tv & radio.
Hahaha! "The first ever recipient of the America First award."
If the Americans learn anything from this period in their lives, Trump will be the only ever recipient of the award.
It will be priceless, Donny.π
And value-less. π€£
The EU project helps us ALL to understand each other, to appreciate alternative views, to work & play collaboratively, to promote artistic cooperation, to live, to love, to support each other, to steer a course for mutual benefit.
Who would not want that?
Why would you not?
The EU's raison d'Γͺtre.
Farage, Reform, the BBC and almost all UK newspapers ignore this, but always focus their anti minority hate agenda on other smaller non-white perpetrator cases.
This one is massive, but is ignored by the UK propaganda machine.
Speaking from across the pond, I think that the most shocking observation is the wholesale capitulation of the news media, the law and the political machine to Trump and his administration. He can do no right; no-one stops him.
Beacons: AOC, Sanders, Crockett, Newsom, Kimmell, Marc Elias. Eject him!
If Tesco can make Β£4bn profit in one year, they could probs make Β£3bn profit & reduce the price of essentials. They could probs make Β£2bn profit and pay their workers more so that 50% of them don't have to claim universal credit, paid by the taxpayer. MANY businesses could afford the benefits bill.
Tell you what, Benny, ANYTHING you're for, I'm against.
I like to think I possess some humanity.
I absolutely KNOW you do not.
ICE agents are hanging around US airports, looking mostly harmless and people are noting and ignoring.
Don't become complacent, travellers: with one word they will instantly switch from harmless to harmful and Trump's private army will be in charge.
I dare any council to publish its income from waste-tipping fees, its expenditure on fly-tipping clear-up and what it *should* spend on fly-tipping clear-up, suspend tipping charges for 6 or 12 months and repeat. I'll bet that there'll be little or no extra cost overall + a cleaner environment.
Reform want to take us back to the 60/70βs
Bring back smoking
Bring back coal mining
Bring back fossil fuels
Ban abortions
Ban diversity and inclusion
Promote bad Landlords
Let your boss sack you whenever
Make you pay for your health cover
Youβd have to be mad to vote for them
Many Maga don't have two pennies to rub together yet they cling to the American dream that Republican politicians will deliver for them. But they won't. GOP politicians are in it for themselves and do not represent their voters' interests. They consitently vote to keep ordinary people poorer.

Sing to the noble eagle
Help is on the way,
A government team of experts
Is rushing to your aid.
I know you're not excited -
An eagle is no waif,
Fly on up to Canada
This country isn't safe anymore
That's for sure.

Meanwhile, much of the rest of the world is now recognising the shackles that a fossil-fuel-dependent economy represents and is paying more attention to renewables.
The future is wind-turbine- and sun-shaped.
No, we can't acknowledge that Labour hasn't been speedy - in 21 months - in undoing 14 years of neglect of the armed forces by the Tories.
Labour has a million problems to solve and they will all take time.
Important as the armed forces are, there is a lot of juggling to do.
Nobody likes gas price rises (except gas generators who raise them just a tad more than they need to) but they would be more tolerable if the gas generators revealed the hit they're taking by reducing divis & bonuses, so that ALL involved feel the pain. They don't of course - we pay the lot.
Now, about your day job...
Note to self: Guadeloupe - avoid! π
Many politicians have an over-inflated view of their own importance.
I'm always reminded of Robin Day's description (to his face) of John Nott, defence secretary, as a "here today, gone tomorrow" politician. Nott, affronted, stood up & walked off set. Day was, of course, right on the money.
Absolutely, no referendum to rejoin. It was the cynical adoption of an advisory poll result which drove Britain's exit. A political sleight of hand, for which the majority* of voters fell.
We elect a govt to be led, not to say 'ask us again.'
* Lies, damned lies and statistics.
The driver for the govt was 'How can we extract most money from the treasury for govt individuals' and friends' gain?'
Expertise existed & was developed in the med & sci community but conflicted with enriching greedy ppl.
Don't abandon pandemic preps; utilise the best tech automatically.
