On the HMRC website (www.gov.uk) you can see where government spending goes. In 23/24 it was as follows: Welfare 21.6% Health 20.2% Pensions 11.4% National debt interest 11.1% Education 10.2% Defence 5.2% Public order and safety 4.4% Transport 4.2% Business and Industry 4.2% Government admin...

No shit

Here's the link to the interview, sorry if I've missed it and it's already been posted. Definitely worth a listen even if it's more about land ownership in general rather than IHT and farmers.

Could be Putin destroying western society while Trump plays golf.

This. The thread reads like online bullying to me. Surely we want NSC to be welcoming to new posters or those who don't post as often, particularly people who live in other countries and have recently started following the Albion with us being in the PL. That means cutting them some slack if...

I asked for evidence not threats. To make it clear, I didn’t mean to compare you to an NRA supporter, but am comparing your phrase (thoughts and prayers) to what NRA/firearms supporters in USA are said to often say after high school shootings. I’ve obviously upset you with my comments (which I...

And sorry, one last criticism then I’ll leave you alone. Your “thoughts and prayers” comment in your original post sounds uncannily like what an american NRA-supporting gun owner would say after a high school shooting. I mean, that’s the actual expression they always come out with isn’t it?

I’m sorry, I’m really trying not to pick a fight with you, but am failing so apologise in advance. You’ve given me a sarcastic “fantastic idea” response to my post about stopping burning fossil fuels, and then suggested moving forward in the discussion. I’ve done that, with an evidence-based...

Yes maybe I'm reading too much into it, or perhaps what Washie said is right. Were Webster and Igor injured?

Ok. Well we could start by building a lot of onshore wind turbines which is the cheapest form of electricity generation available according to all the sources I've seen. Here's an example which says the cost in 2022 (and remember renewables are getting better and cheaper all the time) was 52%...

That's how I saw it. Admittedly it's a friendly and there's going to be a few experiments but it was noticeable that Hurzeler seems prepared to try players in new positions. Baleba was definitely playing CB as was Weir (think he's normally a midfielder?), and Moran, Buonanotte and Ayari looked...

How about we stop burning fossil fuels?

He's made a lot (at least 10 I think) and I haven't heard them all but think The Mande Variations is his best known. There's also one with Ali Farka Toure which is probably a good place to start.

Julian Jessop, "IEA Economics Fellow" according to his twitter account. I can't claim to know everything about the IEA but have heard them criticised numerous times for not revealing who funds them or being open/transparent. Wikipedia says the IEA "published climate change denial material...
