The establishment in this country has utterly failed working people.
Today we have pledged to support entrepreneurs by increasing the VAT threshold to £150,000. ✅
Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
@BakersTweet@maxrushden Well that’s disappointing. Ready for to Go Get Its and nothing. Irish bloke and an Irish woman talking about English football. Radio off. Boo!
@BriannaWu I’ll add (as a professor) that too many become enamored with “the idea” and have no concern with whether that knowledge has a practical relevance in the real world.
Academia has, by and large, become content to be a fake world.
The story so far.
1. I am not a racist.
2. I didn’t post a racist tweet.
3. My tweet did not incite violence against any protected characteristic.
4. My fairly innocuous tweet was deleted a year ago.
5. Senior lawyers say my tweet does “not come near the threshold for criminal prosecution”.
6. But Essex Police upgraded the accusation from Non-Crime Hate Incident to offence under the Public order Act. Why?
7. Essex Police visited my home but refused to specify either the accusation or the accuser.
8. Under pressure, Essex Police deployed the terrorist-fighting Gold Command to investigate a solitary Welsh journalist 5ft 4 inches who still believes in freedom of speech. Weird, I know.
9. This is all nonsense. Deeply sinister, frightening nonsense and wholly disproportionate police over-reach if you ask me.
10. Last night, I realised I no longer feel safe in my own country. A terrible moment.
As Elon Musk said, “This must stop.” It really must.
@elonmusk
So councils can be just as productive on a 4 day week?
In that case, as a taxpayer, how about they work 5 days like most people and we sack 20% of them?
Nobody would notice, apparently
