The welfare state was created to be a safety net and not a life choice.
Every single government since the foundation of the welfare state has used our, money to buy votes, not their parties money our money. Other countries have excellent welfare systems but have not used them to buy votes on the same scale as ours. This country has wasted such a treasure, over the decades and the only thing our political parties think about is their own necks. Why we are in this energy predicament now because of those idiots chasing some ideology set out by the globalist cabal? Boris attempted to cover his tracks by comparing our energy crisis with the blood being spilled in Ukraine, the man is disgusting. People like Boris and this applies to all the MPs, can cover their energy bills by simply giving a 2 minute interview on TV or having a ghost column written in their name in a newspaper.
David Lammy forgot to disclose £36.000 of income from just the above, Johnson has earned over £200,000 per year from the above, and once out of No 10 will go back to earning even more. His father, now living in France, gave a radio interview last week, the interviewer was his daughter. The daughter got paid for asking her dad some silly questions on the radio, everyone's a winner in their world.

One very common thread amongst all scares, some always make lots of money, lots of it, always from the plebs. wealth transfers from A to B . And the Bs are always the same people/class/professions. One day people will awake or will they? The development /health of the Bs children is never harmed for some reason.

Remember during the pandemic, each evening the PM and his experts in their chosen field would stand at their podiums, well spaced apart to mitigate any transmission of the virus!
Then there appeared in the media a photograph of Boris and his two experts standing within 2ft of each other having a conversation. That 2 metres turned into 2 ft within 10 ft of shying away from the cameras. Did they know something we did not or were/are all three complete idiots?

Gordon Brown and Ed Balls admitted their part in the 2008 financial crisis, but with a caveat.
Gordon Brown and Jack Straw admitted that they got it wrong on immigration.
Tony Blair admits nothing, period, never-ever, not in his lifetime.
So some contrition, from at least three of the above named, which is rare.
Boris now says we should be happy to pay higher energy prices because Ukrainians are shedding blood. But they are fighting to preserve their freedom, not directly ours. Someone should mention to Boris that if it were not for his part in making our country energy dependent on others we could be giving even more financial support to Ukraine. Boris the old Etonian who will never apologize.

Received a copy of the said book, and it brought back the days when everything was going to wipe out the population, from eggs to Aids/Hiv Mad Cow diseases, etc. Every so-called expert was proven wrong and it turned out that some of the experts were not exactly experts.
Be tween the experts and politicians they all cost the taxpayers a fortune with their misguidance and the real aims of some of the experts were to receive funding. Now I am sure I have mentioned that little tale before, even the media was incompitinon to produce the most dooms day headlines to sell copies, always follow the money, it will never tell you a lie.

The experts or so-called experts know that no dent will be made in the global CO2 footprint.The increasing population growth will outstrip any possible gains in playing about with turbines and solar power, you cannot omit one half of the equation, and come to the correct answer.Take the 100-year model, 100 years ago the world's population was 1 billion today it is just short of 8 billion the use of energy increases exponentially as the population grows. If the world population was still 1 billion would we be having this discussion?India with a population of 1.3 billion more than the world's total population 100years ago, there are around 22 cars per thousand people in India, which will increase dramatically as the population becomes more affluent, they will desire what we have. They will want motorways, air travel, new homes plus air conditioning, large screen TVs you name it they will want it. India is now the third largest polluter of C02 imagine the output in the near future. Take the developing countries into account, what tonnage all materials will be required in the now and future to just give each family in a newly developed country, that which we have. We talk of electric cars and batteries as if they just apply to the West and the materials that are used in their manufacture are just at the end of the road. They will find it difficult to supply even the West with the materials to provide US with electric cars if we all had one. And proponents of the so-called zero ommissions theory, never mention the destruction to the planet that their dreams will cause. The amount of destruction will outstrip anything seen today. A world population of nearly 8 billion now and forecast to rise, what number of houses, cars, aircraft washing machines etc to satisfy the future needs of the world's population?And I will not bring mention the future water wars, they are coming soon.

Anyone whose views do not change through life is either well-cossetted or wrapped up in some ideological thought process that they are afraid of questioning because they may not like the answer or would be unable to deal with the answer.
As you say, no black no white everything is twisted and stirred to make a gray, is it a purposeful mixing of colours , to divert one's gaze from reality?

On brokers, as my saying goes "those that can do those that can't work for others", that sums up a broker, like economists put several together and get several different recommendations.

The world is changing, but the vast majority of Europeans find comfort in their naivety. And the establishments throughout the West and Europe are complicit in the continuation of this deceit. We do not have one politician in this country, worthy of the name. Take Boris, a dysfunctional man from a dysfunctional family, whose own father seems to stab him in the back frequently. Starmer is a third-rate, lawyer, rewarded for failure, as so many are. The head of the Bank of England is more of a misfit than an economist. Perception in public life, is everything and our present inhabitants in the corridors of power slow a marked inability to even display that.

Yes, a few years ago, you could have still come with one or two, the last I remember was Johnson MP an ex- postman.
Perhaps Labour should change its name and the Tories could call themselves the New Useless Liberals.

minniethemouse
Mike Lynch, voted for Brexit, he is the leader of the RMT union currently trying to cripple the country!
Interestingly he also said those in power who have never been on the tools (done labouring work)can not connect with the rail strikers. He was of course aiming at the Tories, but I bet he can't mention any Labour MPS who have actually broken sweat working.

Simple question what draws you to Labour?

nomlungu
Labour has the largest lead over the tories since 2013, well what did Labour win after 2010, that is the question.

I take it you are using your dividend to purchase new shares automatically via your broking firm, it should not take long after the divi day. You could get them the same day.

You are correct there is no way that this country would ever have a nation sovereign fund every party in this country would use it to pay for their own party agenda. Could you or anyone else see any politician here letting billions build up in the kitty?

I got out of RR a couple of weeks back, and the words from our distinguished leader about grabbing the opportunity to solve our energy problems were as usual just words. He would ditch any British company as fast as he ditched his American citizenship to save himself some money.

Your post of 12.18 hit the nail on the head.

Onlyif
You fell asleep, as I said your brain cannot take in more than two sentences at once.
Do you think I am tedious, I think you're a person who engages his keyboard finger, before his brain cell.
You can't even provide proof of your accusations.

PlatoComesAgain
With regard to your post of 13.27.
I agree with what you say regarding the British character of loving to be abused and falling for it.
People should ask themselves why the media in all its formats exist, the simple reply is to make money for the proprietors. The good news does not make money, they fathomed that out many years ago.
Your remarks on building things on hills etc, well once even here we could do it, right up to the end of the Victorian/Edwardian age and of course through two world wars. If the Victorians wanted or need something they did it or built it. In both World Wars likewise, between 1940-44the country within those short 4 years did fantastic work.
Created/invented marvels that the modern world still uses and depends on, became the second largest producer of tanks and aircraft, and became the most mechanised agricultural industry after America. They laid fuel lines from Liverpool & Bristol docks to airfields and docks etc across the country. And laid the lines across the channel to the Normandy beaches the Code Word for them was P.L.A.T.O pipelines under the ocean.
My favorite Engineer and genius was Brunel, who designed ships, tunnels, railways, roads, and bridges, which can still be seen and used to this day, a man would not be allowed to accomplish what he and others did then, now.

Shareholders contributed to the discovery, drilling, and continual renewal of the North Sea oilfields.
British taxpayers from day one contributed to the above and have continued to do so, January 2016 Scottish politicians complained that Westminster was only handing out £125 million to assist the industry.
The British taxpayer must have contributed many many billions to the development of the North Sea fields, which people forget or did not know and the SNP forgets purposely. English, Welsh, N. Irish, and Scotts contributed, but it appears we own none of it.
