Had we adopted EV's and renewable energy sooner we would have been spared Mel Gibsons dodgy Scottish accent and later even more dodgy ramblings. Think about it, in Mad Max the whole story was gangs fighting over petrol. EV's and solar panels, that's all it would have taken guys.
Who else remembers watching the Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies when it was released, a story about a multi-billionaire, power mad newspaper owner trying to control the world. Who thought to themselves how far fetched it was?
I watched it again recently and thought it was a documentary.
Five have commissioned an ITN documentary examining Nigel Farage’s finances: Nigel Farage: Where Does the Money Come From? airs Saturday 22nd August, 9.30pm
Anyone who says they don't do politics has no right to complain about;
Heatwaves, cost of living, schools, housing, unemployment, wages, the media, roads, railways, busses, crime, policing or politicians etc........
FFS people - educate yourselves!
I've had enough of right wing politics and climate change denial.
I'm off to the library to take out books on 18th Century French History, barricade building and how to sharpen guillotine blades.
#LiarFarage Essex Police did not advise any candidate to avoid the count. Farage avoided the Count because the Count won almost 27% of the vote‼️ Highest ever previous vote for a novelty candidate was 4.2%.

I don't want driverless taxis or driverless busses, not because of safety concerns.
I don't want self checkouts, not because I need conversations.
I don't want to press 1 for sales or press 5 to hear the options again.
I want people given employment and to earn a decent wage.

Greedy Corporations are trying to replace the humans with a 24/7 workforce that they can throw away once it's reached the end of its useful life and replace it. The corporations know that scrapping the ECHR would never give them that much freedom.
The top frame is from 2015, when French meteorologists did a “forecast” from a #climate heated August 2050 - a warning on what could possibly happen in 35 years time.
Bottom frame: well, it’s happened in barely a decade, only it’s already *much* worse than predicted.
It’s a runaway train.
It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄
Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇
So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves
Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage

"When reality surpasses fiction!
Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming.
Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026… it was not hot enough."

This sums up the immigration debate neatly in a way you won't hear it spelled out in the British media. A media which seems to have given up on any commitment to educate many years ago.
Why can't the government claim back any benefits payed to employees of companies who award their ceo's million pounds bonuses?
Why should the tax payer subsidise companies that obviously are profitable?
Maybe they may start paying a living wage.
In fact let's go further, stop calling them in work benefit payments and call them company subsidies. That would make it easier to claim back from companies who make profit.
Can we all just agree that;
Not wanting to see people of colour on our streets is racism - not concerns about immigration.Telling sexist/homophobic/trans jokes is cruel - not people being woke when it's called out. Climate change is real - not green bullshit that "big oil" can ignore. Rant over
A question for everyone. If Iran were to release the soundtrack from their Lego clips on Apple/Spotify how many of us would download it? I certainly would but I'm guessing we would have to act quickly before the orange gibbon had it removed.
Ed Miliband - are you listening ...
"Three steps governments can take now to cut energy bills:
1. Tax windfall profits of fossil fuel companies and use them to support households
2. Decouple electricity prices from gas
3. Decentralised renewable energy"

If there are any deluded, brainwashed Maga out there who still thinks trump's a genius and is playing 3D chess, wake up!
He's the toddler sitting in the corner of the classroom shoving crayons up his nose whilst shitting his nappy (diaper).
So, with massive increase in the price of oil anyone who "stole" oil from Venezuela and is currently invading an oil rich country must be raking in the money 💰.
So. Trump takes Venezuelas oil.
Trump attacks Iran.
Oil prices go up.
There's no way that the moron could have come up with the idea himself but I bet someone in his regime has.
Firstly, I appreciate the irony of posting this here but I refuse to use Twitter/X, however until the Labour Party wake up and broaden their view of public opinion I think they are doomed. When their posts start receiving likes and comments from little Tommy Ten Names they are going to lose the

I believe the problem with politics in this country can be attributed to the voters. Having seen several posts lately where people are making such comments as "but what's their stand on..."
The time they took to post that they could have googled the answer. Take responsibility people please!
How's this for an idea - we have a national campaign to celebrate our nations multi culturism. We could fly the Union flag, hold street parties, everyone would be encouraged to take part and share their cultures. That would really make all the flag "shaggers" heads explode!
Have Reform supporters really fallen for the lies that they will stop migration. The multi millionaire owners of Reform also own other companies who want the cheapest labour force they can get, they won't care what nationality they are. Wake up - they're using you!
Shouldn't the British press be holding Farage, Truss and Johnson to account for their continued support of Trump and his pro Russia lies and propaganda? If any of those 3 excuses for humans had any decency they would be condemning the Felon Trump and Vance's actions.
Do you think Canada and Mexico could build walls on their borders? That would leave the rest of the world to patrol the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans for the next 4 years.
Having seen the Daily Mail headlines yesterday berating Orange Felon, am I being too optimistic in hoping that they may question their so far unwavering support of Farage?
Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.
