Police have obviously got all crime including burglary and violent crime fully under control so they are devoting time to decide if filming in a public place might be a crime in some circumstances. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-68826423Wearing a loud shirt in a built up area.

Media reports oil price rises due to tit-for-tat actions between enemies, that's the real goal I suppose. Ooh you terrible cynic!

They are far too old. The most best and most popularly appealing candidate to replace the King is Jürgen Klopp. I suppose at least it would be keeping the German lineage. Not sure there is really much point changing the status quo in truth, they are mostly harmless and it really does seem a somewhat boring job (Pretty impressive perks aside) Perhaps he could be crowned king on the battlefield. That’s how we used to change the monarchical house in the past. I’m thinking that with his tactical skills and career of planning attacks, Klopp could quickly organise an effective force that could rout whatever beefeaters are defending the House of Windsor. I’m sure he’d pick up popular support as he moved south, like the ‘civil war reenactment sponsored by Schnorr Schnapps’ episode of South Park. (The Confederate side drank a lot of the schnapps, refused to lose and started to March on Washington).

I think the age of these individuals would be a bonus to people who consider themselves "royalists" - they do not want to have to bow and curtsy to some "young upstart" Three of the four are massively unlikely to see the general election after the imminent one. They are far too old. The most best and most popularly appealing candidate to replace the King is Jürgen Klopp.

Some bumps in the road, but Archover is managing this wind down without larding the process with extra charges like some other platforms I could mention.

No, it fits in here too. What I wrote was..
My neighbour's child's secondary school class is going on a school trip next month. They are flying to Morocco. I was thinking about this. If I was a Morroccan. You'd see the parties of rich tourists flying in, and plane loads of school children doing something you could never have afforded for your kids, flying in and going, oh climate change, isn't it awful. Your country's a bit hot! Lovely to see you, doubt you'll be very comfortable here in ten years time, won't be coming back and don't you try coming over to our country. Then flying off again.
Try thinking of it the other way around, if Britain was the poor hot country and it was Moroccan tourists who flew in and out of Heathrow coming to look at you and your hut. Look at their quaint clothes. Will they do a dance for us? Just musing.
Western countries are split down the middle with (under) half genuinely worried about the climate and prepared to try to do something, and probably a majority who do not want their lifestyle altered in any way and damn the future. Unfortunately the dead weight of people who don't care is populism, is my country first anti-globalism, is human beings being unable to co-operate to avert catastrophe. Or see them elect Trump and we actually go backwards. That is the moment I move to New Zealand and throw my mobile phone in the sea.

Its the times that have changed, not the people. There were always Dunning-Kruger idiots who had done their own research, difference now being they can find each other on the internet. Back in the 1990s there was no imminent collapse into authoritarianism in the large democracies like India, USA, and no obvious signs of exponential climate change. The Iraq war was the beginning of the slide when you could see Western leaders acting on what you knew that they knew were lies. Then it stabilised a bit until 2016. Now, I'm quite with mogish that its all getting a bit much. When the slaughter began to go on and on in Gaza, for the first time in my life I began to opt out of the news. Nothing is going right and it will get worse, if only due to the politics of climate change. I've written another paragraph but ill paste it into the climate change thread.

I've realised the error if my ways and have stopped reading the MSM. Those Ukrainian Nazis will pay dearly for this attack on Israel.

The reason the US do not want to get involved might be to do with these new hypersonic missiles Iran has developed been given. They can probably sink aircraft carriers as well as hit heavily defended air bases. The Colonel also suggested that these missiles are probably using Chinese or Russian satellites for targeting since they seem to leave the atmosphere before re-entering at hypersonic speeds. The colonel may well have access to mystical sources of information unknown to normal people but he clearly didn't Google "hypersonic missiles atmosphere" before opining on them leaving the atmosphere and using satellite targeting. I did though. www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-physics-and-hype-of-hypersonic-weapons/

I had a quick look for a Trump Bible for michaelc , and they are mainly available to preorder on Ebay.com. Or dot con as I accidentally just wrote. The seller of the Bible you might eventually get had more negative feedback than usual, lets take a look. www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/jb_collectables_store?commentType=NEGATIVE&user_context=BUYEROf amusement here is the third negative feedback halfway down the page, Ripped off the dybbuk boxWhat's this, you ask?. Well, click the number of the item at the end of the negative comment and look at the item. Scroll down a bit you can see what this seller bought for 65 bucks. Even more amazing, in the positive feedback, countless satisfied purchasers of such wonders.

And how is Trump going to do that? Let Russia have the three eastern oblasts with no consequences? ... I think you and we all know the answer to that question. The only way he can truly influence is to withdraw/stop all US military support to Ukr. And in doing so, seriously tip the balance of negotiating power to Putin. Putin will get to keep Crimea forever, and get the majority if not all of currently occupied territory. And the Ukrainians have to just suck it up. There is no other realistic option in which Trump can deliver on his promise. The alternative would be to flip the other way - threaten massive US intervention to drive Russia out - and that most definitely is not in his plans. Basically he is going to remove all Ukr options of self determination by removing support and offering Ukraine's head on a plate. Could he negotiate some form of withdrawal: possibly, but it would have to be extremely marginal as Putin needs to come away with the prize of the east, and Crimea's occupation de facto recognised. Yeah you remember that he Trump Plan for Peace in the Middle East (THE BEST PLAN) which was basically Israel should have all the land and the Palestinians should go away somewhere. Probable that new plan for Ukraine is of similar genius.

Just wait, there are reportedly buyers in the market, waiting for the price to jump when the foreign government front companies come into the market.
Narcissists like Trump can't bear to look like a loser with a penny share company. What's the betting that the money is pumped in in time for him to cash his shares and fill his pockets? Influence never came so cheap for the oil giants.

"There is nothing that exists so great or marvellous that over time mankind does not admire it less and less" wrote Lucretius in about 75bc. And this is certainly true of Truth Social shares. It is a new daily pleasure to check how much they have sunk.

Just 7% fossil (CCGT) right now. Remember, 69% renewable doesn't mean 31% fossil... Nuclear is not renewable. Likewise, biomass is not carbon neutral. This week ... 20, 40, 20, rest imported, so it's 25% of UK generation, so yeah slight misreading ... but point remains ... renewable doesn't address it or isn't the solution currently or in the near future I’m a glass 3/4 full type of guy.
