I don't believe them

Still waiting for a leader and a cause I can truly believe in.

Why are the media suddenly turning on Farage? What is this change in the agenda trying to achieve?

@SkySports why do you not fill your ad breaks? Why do we have to sit through "coverage will resume shortly" screens? Either charge a price companies can afford for adverts, or make your breaks shorter. Either way would make you look less of a set of knobs.

@wideawake_media Bury these experts under the North sea. Ideally in the space created by removing all our oil and gas.

Dear @Keir_Starmer please ram your digital ID up your analogue arse. It was not in your manifesto, so no one has had a chance to vote on it. We do not want it and will fight it with all we have.

@TheHughAnthony Effectively Banned Porn! How on earth do you make that assumption?
Every kid in the universe knows how to use a VPN to bypass the checks, only idiots like you have to go back to the newsagents now for a copy of Razzle!

“Let me be clear…I broke numerous promises. I invented a £22 billion black hole to punish pensioners, farmers, the disabled, small businesses and students. I tried to give away Chagos and pay £35 billion to do so. I increased unemployment. I increased the government deficit. I appointed Peter Mandelson despite his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein having already been published in various media outlets. I promised to cut energy bills and council tax, but instead, the opposite happened. I did absolutely nothing to resolve the cost of living crisis and made it worse by increasing the tax burden to record levels. I prioritised hanging out with the Davos / BlackRock clique rather than genuinely ‘fixing the foundations’. I promised a ‘transparency revolution’, but instead, operated under smoke and mirrors and sacked colleagues and threatened suspending Labour MPs who voted against me. I spaffed £30 billion away on carbon capture machines. I failed to sort out the small boats / hotels for illegal immigrants. £3 billion a year to Ukraine and big hugs from Volodymyr. I smeared anyone who dared to criticise me a ‘far-right’. I sanctimoniously lectured everyone like they were naughty children. And I have absolutely no intention of resigning after disastrous local election results because I am right and everyone else is wrong. Me first. Country second.”

I'm starting to think that @Keir_Starmer may not always have told us the truth.

[I don't believe them @Yorksceptic]

@RachelReevesMP I wish I could get past all the posts congratulating you on your magnificent work. I also wish I wasn't addicted to posting sarcastic comments.

Your car does not run on dead dinosaurs, and I cannot believe we've all just accepted that it does for this long.

The fossil fuel story goes like this.

Dinosaurs died.

Lots of them.

In very specific places.

At very specific times.

Over millions of years they compressed into oil underground.

And now we dig it up and put it in a Vauxhall Astra.

Lovely.

Except.

There is a moon orbiting Saturn called Titan.

It has seas.

Vast, enormous, liquid seas stretching for hundreds of miles across its surface.

And those seas are made entirely of hydrocarbons.

The same stuff we put in our cars.

Now.

Titan has no dinosaurs.

Titan has never had dinosaurs.

Titan is a frozen rock 886 million miles from Earth that has never hosted a single living thing as far as anyone can tell.

And it is absolutely drowning in the stuff.

Jupiter has a moon with hydrocarbons too.

No dinosaurs there either.

Funnily enough.

Which raises a question that the fossil fuel narrative has never satisfactorily answered.

If oil comes from dead organic matter.

Where exactly did Titan's come from.

The answer, quietly accepted in scientific circles for decades but somehow never mentioned in school, is that hydrocarbons form naturally.

From carbon and hydrogen in the Earth's mantle.

Under heat and pressure.

Without a single Stegosaurus being involved at any stage of the process.

Which means the entire premise of oil scarcity.

That it's an ancient finite resource slowly running out.

That we're essentially burning the Jurassic period one tank at a time.

Might be considerably more complicated than anyone has bothered to tell us.

We've built entire economies, foreign policies, and wars around the idea that oil is a rare ancient substance we're gradually using up.

Meanwhile Saturn's moon is sloshing around in the stuff.

Just sitting there.

Absolutely heaving with hydrocarbons.

With nobody to charge £1.80 a litre for it.

Which, now I think about it, might be the most plausible explanation for why nobody talks about this.
