This is utter bollocks. A quick Googling shows that the average household energy bill in the Netherlands is higher than the UK.

You invalidate any argument you're trying to make by using false figures.

Watching this from another country, since 2015 the expectation is someone else will do something about Trump. The Dems. The courts. Congress. SCOTUS. The military. I'm sorry, but America allowed this to happen because no one was actually doing anything themselves.

Is your opinion it's okay to do a bad thing if someone else does a bad thing first? Or are you saying something else?

You sure he's the deputy chairman, and not just told you he was?

Love Sevilla. Went there a few years ago, and loved the place. Beautiful place to just wander.

Where do you start? Does the government need to regulate the media, because the message isn't getting out there. We just get Farage with his discount store DOGE, and the MSM repeating his bollocks unchallenged.

Damnit!

This will age like him.

I think the last few years have answered that question.

Maybe the last 50 years have been the anomaly in US history, and it's returning to type. Maybe it's time for decent Americans to stop pretending "This isn't us", accept that is generally is America, and push for real, permanent change.

More Sam Bankman-Fried vibes here. I doubt Musk wouldn't use other peoples' money to shore up his businesses, treating their money as his slush fund.

To be fair, I don't like paying taxes but I like what taxation brings to society, so I'm accepting of the deal. I don't like going to the dentist but I recognise the benefit it brings me.

Maybe that's the plan

Grim AF

You've got to start somewhere. Investment alone won't fix it, but neither will doing nothing.

Having lived all 56 years of my life in Britain, coming from a family that can trace it's ancestry in Britain to pre-Tudor Britain, I'd love to see what these British values are, because if they don't align with my British values, I'd love to have how I'm not British explained to me.

Alas, not even then.

So sad to hear about Brian Wilson dying. The competition between The Beatles and Brian drove them both to greater things. Between them the created some of the best albums of all time, in an incredibly short space of time.

What?! It's a Christmas film! Why release it in June?

Musk can fuck back to South Africa. No one wants that arse-piece anywhere near this country

It's a UK number plate, and he's driving on the left hand side of the road. This is in Britain

Awesome colours!

And your former allies these two chodes fucked over in your name.

Hopefully some grown ups will come back into the room and the US will make attempts to repair the bridges it allowed to be burned.

Congratulations, you've got Musk on board to take his own business down. Good work!

Magic beans are weak compared to the power of a plucky attitude!

I doubt many people make well thought through voting decisions, anywhere. Mostly it's tribal (my dad voted X so I vote X) or single issue. In the UK, I try to use services that ask your opinions on topics and tell me how each party aligns with my views. Beyond that strategic to keep fascists out

Nubie question. Is this the price for selling into the grid or buying from it. Should I set my battery to charge or de-charge?

I'm 56 and I'd run like hell

Not according to @mydadsoldphotos.bsky.social . If its outdoors and does not include a barbecue, it's a cookout. I'd agree, it's a picnic.

What if, only salads are served? Do these count as cooking or are salads assembled?

What about desserts, Steve? What about desserts!
