All the evidence suggests the parties haven’t been interested in growth for the last 20 years or so. The usual suspects on here all want higher spending without austerity but that’s impossible if you don’t generate the wealth required to fund it.

This is why Truss is taking a big political risk, but she’s doing it for exactly the right reasons. If it comes off — and it could — you’re likely to see the opinion polls changing just as fast as they have in recent weeks, only in the other direction.

I’ll give you my opinion of Truss and her ilk, removed from the masses gits! Mrs Two’s mother had a fall earlier this year, I took her to a&e and after a six hour wait (pretty quick these days!) the doctor told us it was just soft tissue damage and there was no need for an x-ray and just to use something like Ralgex, so we took her home. Two days later she deteriorated so we called 111 and they advised calling for an ambulance, twelve hours later one turned up, then followed a four and a half hour wait outside a&e with another seventeen ambulances. An x-ray showed she’d broken her hip!
Yesterday a good friend of mine knew he was having a heart attack so called 999, they asked him if anyone could go to him until an ambulance could get there, his wife rushed home from work and had to give him CPR until the ambulance got there ‘just’ one hour later, absolutely disgusting in both cases.
I’m sure you’ll have all the answers to improve matters but I have just one. Make it mandatory that all politicians have to solely use the NHS for the rest of their life with private treatment banned, on pain of a jail sentence. I have a suspicion that things would improve, and improve somewhat rapidly.

The drive to net-zero has created huge problems for the western world. Renewable wind and solar energy sound great in theory but their inherent intermittency makes generating electricity at the levels required for national grids both wasteful and expensive.

First, national grid supplies require a steady base load, which renewables cannot provide without hugely expensive battery support. Second, changes in demand mean high levels of capacity are required at very short notice, which means back-up for renewables must be maintained at high ‘spinning levels’ to accommodate the unpredictability of their supply. Third, drops in wind and/or sunshine can happen unpredictably over prolonged periods of time, during which even the biggest batteries would be unable to cope, meaning total capacity back-up is required. In simple terms, all of this means creating two national grid supplies. As well as being uneconomic this is also hugely wasteful in resources and energy.
On top of this, wind turbines require large quantities of materials, from steel to cement that need huge amounts of energy to manufacture and build as well as to site and secure. Offshore they damage large areas of the seabed while the harsh environment in which they operate demands high levels of maintenance. Onshore and offshore wind turbines kill significant numbers of birds. Solar panels are well-suited to domestic use but at national grid levels require large amounts of land, which takes valuable farmland and destroys habitats.

While renewables can provide useful sources of electricity, at the scale required for national grids they are unlikely ever to become economic, even given likely developments in battery and other storage technology. The only practical and viable source to fossil fuels for producing electricity is nuclear power.

It will be many decades before fossil fuels can be phased out.

Tell that to those that have been in power in this country for the last decade and a quarter.

How very odd, no mention of ‘magic money trees’, or ‘our grandchildren will be paying this debt off’ from the usual suspect. Imagine the howls of protest from him if Labour had borrowed (to invest in infrastructure and job creation) just a fraction of what the Tories had. Hey ho, same as it ever was.

Well, the ref has just blown for half time, in what must have been the worst performance by a Scunny team in many a year, they have been overrun by a part time team who are 0-2 in front, but according to the commentators, it should be 5 or 6 to the part timers, Scunny have reached an all time low, and have not really had a shot on the Dorking goal, the players have just gone off to a really good ringing of boo’s from the die hards that still are prepared to bother to turn up to watch thus pathetic shower.

IT IS PROBABLY A GOOD TIME TO LIQUIDATE THINGS AND PULL THE PLUG ON THINGS!!!!

How bloody low can our once great little club sink. only this week fans were yelling how things are much better, that was after a couple of draws which were following six straight losses, so just another round of boo’s from the fans, and another round in 45 minutes time, then back home sick as parrots and get ready for thew next home game, and the two away matches that are coming up for about 200 usual nut heads.

The very first protest at a match against the Allams saw Hull almost immediately score a goal. That pished on the ‘protests distract the players’ argument. That said owners usually go at a time of their own choice, I doubt Swann will be any different. 🙂

I’m guessing it’s the dole queue as these people obviously have no jobs to go to.

That Belfield went way OTT ,the bit about harrassing his pregnant wife and stealing pics of one of his victims kids to use as a video header went beyond decency and led to a real sense of threat to his family, .I cannot believe that anyone is defending him but there are morons out there victim shaming.

Belfield is an odious gobshite, but in my opinion five and a half years is it too long.

At our match last night they had a minutes silence*, impeccably observed, then played the national anthem. They asked for everyone to take their seats by 7-35, I stayed on the concourse until the end of the anthem, and I wasn’t alone. Any Scouse shouters should have done the same, but like I did keep quiet.

No truth in the rumour they also had one post match. 😜

Yes hardly an unusual occurrence at Anfield they have one nearly every other week if it’s not Hillsborough or Heysel its for some Scouser getting murdered by one of their own, then of course there are the shirts old ones with 96 respect on back of the neck new one’s with 97, Ps I forgot they don’t do anything to remember Heysel heho.

You never did come back to the thread where the French authorities finally admitted they screwed up at the CL Final, can’t think why.

Never a corner that they scored from LK, the special train was rocking that night, literally when we stoped at Derby station, disappointing journey home everyone new we should have got at least a draw, was that the last time we had a special? Know we had one booked to Rotherham but was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.

Was it the usual cattle class football special? 🙂

My mate got ejected at 4-1 down, oh how we took the pish when he got back on the coach. Where the heck did nigh on 38 years go?!
