Bobbie, are you happy that Boris has gone to Spain for a weeks holiday ?
anneasquith, is his holiday a problem for you? And if so, why?
Everyone needs a holiday Anne, even our PM

Reminiscent of Callaghan.
We seem to be heading for a perfect storm.
meep meep
history repeats itself - once as comedy and then as tragedy

( I have got that the wrong way round innit - well this is AB )
// anneasquith, is his holiday a problem for you? And if so, why?//

er well it was for the underling, the man Raab - wouldnt come back ( how like Callaghan, you know that prime minister from 1980)
and hey presto lost his job ....

Boris on his hols - - will he have a job to come back to ( Heath to the Commonwealth heads of state 1973)
Rowan, we live very rurally with just a couple of neighbours and we only burn very dry wood. I doubt we cause much pollution - not much more when man discovered how to make fire.

Spending hour after hour on a web site that’s depressing./

I do look in, but now avoid depressing. I got a bit addicted years ago, but never again.
And I hope Boris enjoys his holiday in Spain.
//Try as they may, some people appear to be life's losers, failing consistently to get along with those around them, finding themselves, metaphorically, walking the plank on a regular basis, and very often blaming anyone and anything apart from themselves.//
Sounds very like you on this post Naomi, blethering on about things you know nothing of.
UK should start fracking - masses of reserves there.
Poor Maggie. You've got it bad - and it shows. :o)
//This is a world crisis…//

This isn’t a world crisis, pat. It’s a problem that has been visited mainly on the UK. The reason for that is that successive UK governments have played blind obedience to the climate change zealots who seem to think that the effects of reducing “emissions” are far less serious than allowing the country’s energy supplies to be placed in jeopardy by being dependent on a particularly unfriendly foreign power. Most of the UK’s “Green” policies seem to depend on stopping burning things here but to gain the benefits from something being burned somewhere else. Quite frankly it is absurd. The lunatics are now well and truly in control of the asylum and nobody seems willing to take that control away from them.

//I doubt we cause much pollution…//

I doubt it too, pat. In fact I know that the UK does not cause much pollution – around 1% of the global total. Yet the country is driving its economy, industry and its people into energy penury by its farcical attempts towards becoming “net zero” contributors. Some 30,000 people are to converge on Glasgow next month with the message that we must stop burning things. I hope they all come by bike.
13.39,N/J
Some 30.000 people are to converge on Glasgow next month
many not wearing masks of course..... up go the covid figures again.....
They will have to come by bike N/J because they ain't got much petrol/ diesel in the UK.
Gulliver haven’t you read your news yet?the Glasgow concert has been cancelled ( Genesis )
A question I’d ask that I hinted at earlier; is the government right to choose now to go ahead with the gas conversion surcharge on energy bills?
13.55 Bobisox, Not sure if that is the same meeting in Glasgow that N/Jmentioned in his post @ 13.39 But if so well done Scotland .
gulliver, you get nothing right.
\\ , Not sure if that is the same meeting in Glasgow that N/Jmentioned in his post @ 13.39 But if so well done Scotland .//

Scotland didn't cancel the concert, Genesis did because some of the band tested covid positive.
