@DrNeilStone Not good at tackling avoidable negligence, running efficiently or modernising. There are still people pushing trollies full of paper containing patient data all around hospitals in the 21st century.
The only way new North Sea drilling cuts energy bills is if the UK:
– Nationalises the rigs
– Bans exports
– Sells at cost-price
None of that is on the table. It will be sold on global markets to the highest bidder.
Bills won’t move an inch.
@itsmehenry9 And of course we saw how Islam respects other faiths like in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, North Africa & currently in Sudan. Why does a minority faith in the UK expect the 93% to bend over backwards to accommodate them? Oh & a faith isn’t a race.
I find Americans to be strange creatures. Biden released zero files in his entire reign as president yet the one that did order the release of the files gets these cretins posting crap like this. Note they never post images of democrats with that piece of shit.

"Not a single child will be protected by this"
Except every child with an iPhone that now will have no way of accessing content labelled 18+
It verified I was older than 18 by the age of my apple account. Not interested in your actual specific age, just a basic one to make sure you're over 18.
I have far more personal information on my phone than that 🤣🤣🤣
How does a child buy an iPhone or get a phone contract when you ah e to be 18 to sign a contract? You can’t signup with an ISP if you are under 18. An adult provided those under 18s with a phone & access to the internet. It should be the parents responsibility to police usage.

How about telling the evil fascist theocratic Islamic dictatorship that has been oppressing the indigenous Persians for 40 years pack up & give them their country back?!
The conflict in the Middle East has gone too far.
My message to the US & Israel is that it’s high time to end the war – as human suffering deepens, civilian casualties mount & the global economic impact is increasingly devastating.
My message to Iran is to stop attacking their neighbors that are not parties to the conflict.
Remove the influx of new people to the labour market and wages will rise, remove the demand for housing & house prices/rents will fall and remove the unfunded demand on services & they will be less stressed. Less demand for food, utilities etc prices go down as will emissions.
From the 1970s through to 1997 the avg house price was less than 3x the avg salary. Then Blair got in & he opened the borders flooding the labour market suppressing wages & increasing demand for homes after 1 term the avg house price was 6x the avg salary. It’s now 8.5x.
Name me one single billionaire that is cash wealthy! If your wealth is made up of an asset or assets then you aren’t hoarding. Are you really that dim?
When are we gonna admit that billionaire‑ism is an illness?
They’re hoarders
No control, insatiable greed & their hoarding just drains every one of us
They cut wages, buy politicians & bleed the planet just to watch a number tick up that they’ll never spend
Sick in the head.
Also worth pointing out she reduced the base rate of income tax in every single budget as well as increased the personal allowance above inflation. Contrast Gordon Brown who double the tax rate of the lowest paid.
Never forget how Thatcher misused North Sea oil revenues.
Instead of caring for the long-term wellbeing of the nation by creating a sovereign wealth fund of $TNs like Norway- she spent it on paying off debt & funding the top tier tax cuts from 60% to 40%, making the rich richer.
There is also a quite a bit of evidence that suggests higher tax rates don’t bring in more revenue. Not much point having an 83% tax rate if those who it is meant to his just leave. Even that plum Osbourne showed a lower Corp tax rate brought in more revenue.

She inherited a country bailed out by the IMF, 24% inflation, 14% interest rates, 33% base rate of income tax & an 83% top rate which saw a wealth exodus. Paying back debt is a term of a bailout. If you borrowing money you should pay it back, unless you’re a socialist of course.

If you are referring to mining then you should maybe read up on Harold Wilson. He closed more pits in one term than she did in her entire reign. He also ended the use of coal on the rail network costing the NCB its largest customer. Far more damaging to mining.
Incidentally and ironically, she used the revenues also to fund unemployment benefits for the three million people whose lives she destroyed by removing the industries that kept towns alive. Instead of investing in them.
Our lives today are a result of this devastation.
