@MarioBojic Yes, we must not let democracy prevail!

@LizWebsterSBF Instead of wringing your hands, perhaps you should ask yourself why such parties come to prominence. Looking from outside, I don't think its coincidental that the Afd have risen from the repeated failures of the mainstream to listen to legitimate concerns about immigration.

Again, I'm going to ask you to provide some physical receipts of me advocating for more oil production or advising U.S. lawmakers to subsidize the oil industry. You won't find any because I have never done those things. In fact, I have stated publicly multiple times that any and all subsidies should be removed. Let 'em compete in the free market on a level playing field.

I have, however, been highly and vocally supportive of nuclear, hydroelectric, and geothermal power as alternatives. If you continue to lie about me, you could face some legal consequences (i.e., defamation). I'm also pro-EVs (just not pro-EV mandates). Again, this is all publicly available. I'm indifferent to the O&G industry. If better alternatives come along, then great.

One needs to ask, why are you so vehemently against O&G companies? What are your motivations? Political? Are you envious of people with more money than you? Lemme guess, you just hate billionaires and capitalism, right? How many EVs do you own? Is the electricity generated to power your house / apartment derived from fossil fuels? If so, why don't you install solar panels and a Tesla battery pack? Why not live off-grid somewhere with no running water, no indoor plumbing, and no WiFi connection? Did you not know that fossil fuels provide those?

Quite frankly, I think that if you demonize fossil fuels, you should not be able to reap the benefits of them. Your access to O&G products should be barred by law and confiscated. As I said, I'm all for alternatives, I'm indifferent to the fossil fuel industry, but I'm not going to demonize them.

If you cannot disagree with my points by providing a well-reasoned rebuttal (and by citing supporting data / evidence with clickable links) without attacking my motives (you don't even know me personally), then I'm not interested in having any further conversations with you. I'm open to debate, but you need to start acting like a civilized adult who is interested in having a conversation, not an overly hormonal teenage girl.

You and I are going to converse civilly with each other moving forward.

If you cannot agree to that, I'm going to disengage.

The choice is yours.

@campbellclaret Whataboutery as ever. The point is, we lock these people up, and prominent members of the police, councils etc aren't desperately trying to cover up their crimes. In complete contrast to the Asian rape gangs. Can you see the difference?

[David John Roberts @DavidJohnRober2]

@WilliamClouston Really sorry to hear this. I share your frustration that the SDP, in spite of having serious policies to tackle the major issues of our day, has not cut through, in large part by being excluded from media coverage. All the best for the future.

[Mark Whitford 🇬🇧 @whitford747]

Remember when @AndrewMarr9, that lefty from the @BBC proudly stated after Labour’s election victory that;
“The adults are back in the room”?
If only @LiamHalligan had been advising @RachelReevesMP and @Keir_Starmer.
A voice of reason and a real adult!

@Artemisfornow Actually, the SDP do talk about this. Unfortunately, too small and starved of media attention to cut through.

[David John Roberts @DavidJohnRober2]

@technopopulist @WilliamClouston Genuinely the only party properly looking to address the deep rooted issues facing the country, as evidenced in their papers on the likes of energy. But not cutting across. Sad.

[David John Roberts @DavidJohnRober2]

@MrMatthewTodd Methinks you have ever so slightly overestimated the global reach and influence of JD and the Spectator in interrupting your Doomsday messaging.

[David John Roberts @DavidJohnRober2]

@MrMatthewTodd @DailyMailUK Smart bloke, Ross.

@DailyDOOH Don't worry, we've all been there. But you should follow the Hinge account. It's gold.

@DailyDOOH @LeonardBriscoe3 Mate, its a parody account 🤣

@academic_la Literal Nazi? Do you actually understand what the word literal means?

@supertanskiii As hot as it is, none of these areas affected spontaneously combust. There has to be some sort of ignition, and invariably that means either arson or carelessness. It could be 50 degrees and this still applies.

@SaulStaniforth Sleep walking all the way to the IMF. And when that happens, one of the conditions will be to massively cut welfare spending.

[David John Roberts @DavidJohnRober2]

@Primewave96 Class act.

[David John Roberts @DavidJohnRober2]

@HerolBomberG Yes, in practicing the art of not being hit.
