@RussellFindlay1 Next time Scotland play an international they should be made to sing the national anthem which is of course the British national anthem. See how the SNP reacts to that
@grs68@RussellFindlay1 Westminster taking us for mugs๐ At least they have the honesty to announce they are going to take everything they can from us, unlike the SNP who have no idea what truth or honesty are
@Danmckenna007@eisenhorn1701@RussellFindlay1 Nope he said British deaths of which some were Scots. Scots remain British as your lovely SNP has pushed the independence goal aside
@Leachimblue@PolitlcsGlobal Spain and Britain have competing direct claims over the Falklands. Argentina only has a derivative claim having been a Spanish colony. Britain has the territorial claim of occupancy and democratic populace vote
@PolitlcsGlobal According to this article Argentina is in need of another distraction from its financial chaos, usual playbook revisit the Falklands claim https://t.co/dI3f7dIjsc
@MiaRashidtgp@PolitlcsGlobal No they donโt they have a derivative claim through being a Spanish colony. Britain and Spain have original title claims but Britain has the case of continuous peaceful occupation. Falklands people want to remain British
@THE_ST0RY@SamaHoole You donโt need to overdose on aspirin for it to be damaging. I was on heart medication which included aspirin and I also had to take another medicine to negate the damaging effects of long term use of aspirin. Thankfully this episode passed
@ClaireCoutinho At the extreme, Chernobyl, the blame was loudly pointed at the control staff, then quietly the real culprits became clear. I suspect the same scenario will as you say play out here, managers blaming the operators not the inadequate infrastructure
The crime they see: 15,415 litres of water to produce one kilogram of beef. Every campaign, every documentary, every leaflet through the door since about 2012.
The crime they do: not reading the paper.
The figure is real. It comes from Mekonnen and Hoekstra at the University of Twente, and it is careful, peer-reviewed work. What the campaigns strip out is that the same authors split that number into three parts, because the three parts are not the same thing at all.
Green water is rain. It falls on the grass. The cow eats the grass. For beef, green water is about 94 per cent of that headline.
Blue water is the stuff that matters. Rivers, lakes, aquifers. The stuff that gets pumped, metered, fought over in court, and does not come back.
So here is the blue water, in litres per kilogram, from the same authors, same method, same units.
- Pistachios: 7,602
- Almonds: 3,816
- Walnuts: 2,451
- Dates: 1,250
- Cashews: 921
- Beef: 550
Read that last line again, then go and look at what is in your granola.
The 15,415 counts rain that fell on a Welsh hillside as a cost, against an animal that was standing in it, on land where nothing else grows, in a country where rain is the one thing we have never once been short of.
The pistachio is drinking fourteen times more of the water that actually runs out.
She is outside in the rain right now, getting blamed for it.
@DefundBBC What bung exactly are Labour getting from the BBC cronies. Accept reality itโs no longer the 50โs or even the 80โs, Britain has moved on and now itโs time for the BBC to move on as well
@Alcibiades5211@ArchRose90 Reform has a snake oil salesman as a leader but sadly they are the only opposition either not a Labour lapdog or in a process rebuilding
@paulhutcheon Good, I know of very few workers whoโve been given any more than their due wages when being asked to leave because they were no longer required. A handout for failing to serve your constituents adequately, no wonder so many unemployables are politicians
@sazzieAD@sharrond62 The Tory party of the last 20 years has been a disgrace to their name. Strong governance and clear direction replaced with woolly politics and infighting. I hope she is able to save her party because democracy needs opposition to vote for
@JChimirie66677 Thanks for the explanation hopefully Badenoch is just getting started and a few private chats with elected MPs about their future come the 29 GE is hopefully the next step
