Nonsense

Shell have done absolutely nothing to earn the profits they are receiving as a direct result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Everything above the price of oil before the invasion is windfall, wing paid for by increased consumer bills and inflation. The Government borrowing money to give to consumers to pay the higher prices is a direct subsidy to Oil and Gas supplier profits and will be paid for with higher taxes at a later date. The far more sensible and fiscally responsible response is a windfall tax and use that, not borrowed money to support consumers in need. Corporate profits protected by government borrowing is absolute lunacy.

Like you, I use my ‘eco car’ for my main shops only. The rest of the time I use a bicycle (non electric).

Now you’re cooking with gas, pun intended.

Have you considered ‘reductions in usage’ doesn’t have to be ‘no usage at all’. Objectives are achieved one step at a time, right now in 2022, technology is available that wasn’t available a few short years ago, and prices of clean energy sources are falling rapidly. The fact that an objective can’t be met today is not an argument against starting towards that objective. It’s people demanding change that has given rise to the technological advancements in energy that are becoming more available and cheaper. So less of this demanding of others that they go completely off-grid, zero fossil fuels today. Nobody is making tgat argument other than the fossil fuel industry shills.

You are missing the efficiency gains. Efficiency of electrical generation and electric cars v efficiency of internal combustion engine.

Oh, that definition of ‘Globalist’, who would have guessed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalism

I know a number of people who drive electric cars, I don’t know any that claim doing so will in and of itself solve climate change.

You have reputedly made a connection between those who support tackling climate change and ‘Globalists’. Can you please explain the basis of the connection you make?

There’s two parts to this thread. Global warming and human suffering. Oddly, those who argue against tackling the global warming, or that it can even be tackled, also argue against addressing the human suffering.

Not all humans pollute to the same degree. Therefore, following your Malthusian arguments, perhaps we need hit the big nail and get rid of the big polluters first. Or perhaps its some others there are too many of?

You are not being forced to drive an electric car.

RIP thanks for the music.

Where is your evidence that Oxbridge admitting more disadvantaged applicants is a reduction in educational standards?

Poor deluded right wingers. Billionaires are going to Billionaire.

I’ll make the point again. A billionaire narcissist hasn’t got your corner.

I’m all for Trump getting back on Twitter. His handlers are less keen. Which is why he rarely appears in live broadcasts these days. And that’s apart from the legal jeopardy he puts himself in when he opens his mouth.

Because you think a narcissistic billionaire has got your back.

Well, it’s not at all unusual.

And his lies garnered him a huge following on the rightwing. Riddle me that.

There are a number of circumstances in which you absolutely may not lie.

The cards are not necessary. Simply use SWIFT transfers from UK bank to Thai bank and save card charges.

I wonder, has Musk blocked their Twitter accounts yet?

Sunak has refused to confirm he will honor the Triple Lock. My bet is there will be talk of ‘sharing the pain’.

Currently he only has a Thai bank account and was asking if he can have his UK pension paid directly to that account.
