of course it's bonkers, but that's where the thinking took us a long time ago. onshore wind gets objected and blocked at every turn, we just about get offshore at 3x the cost, likewise solar on new builds got selved because concerns over appearance and ownership. people want the idea of renewables, just dont want to see them, or whatever other objection they can conjure up. carbon capture is obvious part of the solution, and we'll have to accept the extra cost - its going to cost more however you provide energy, wind and solar are only cheaper when you dont count the gas or storage backup capabilities. there is no path to net zero that is lower cost.
How does the idiot know the 'will of the people' given he's the THIRD PM since an election ?

Why? That’s me and how I am but you think you can tell me how to feel?Oh Thunderbolt, lighten up a bit

Centrica closed the Rough gas storage facility in 2017 but has now reopened it in Oct but only at 20%.
Oh give over ! Manifestos are just fake promices. I've got more chance of waking up next to a naked Kelly Brook than a political party actually STICKING to it's manifesto promises.

Agin which is true (no idea about the Kelly brook thing tho !) I’m no Tory lover I’m just stating a fact
Thunderbolt,
You seem to see things in black and white.
Of course you can be who you are, but why do you take everything so literally and seriously? My harmless remark was just that.
Is it only me who seems to get your goat? Whatever I post, however light-hearted, you appear to come back and almost look for an argument, which frankly, I am not interested in.

Put me on ignore then.
Good heavens, you do come over as rather aggressive towards me and I don’t really know why. I am a tolerant soul who, I hope, hasn’t made too many enemies on NSC.
I have no-one on ignore and I intend to keep it that way. Perhaps you should put me on ignore instead.

You did claim that anyone posting your view on NSC would get you 'shunned for life' so you can't really be surprised you got a reaction. Not from me of course
I would take more issue with this bit
Would you REALLY trust him to change a plug in your house or the oil in you car ?

That was nearly three days you managed to go without feeling the need to post in support of this current cabal.
Congratulations
The difference being is that you and I and most other posters can usually differentiate between serious remarks and others, that are less so, unless, of course, it doesn’t suit them to do so.You did claim that anyone posting your view on NSC would get you 'shunned for life' so you can't really be surprised you got a reaction.

As for Rishi, you may well be right!

I can understand why some people get angry, but I think you and me are just shallow and always look for the one-liner. At least it's Fridat

Where is the section saying they intend to send asylum seekers to Rwanda?
Some people are easily angered and it is not a nice trait.I can understand why some people get angry, but I think you and me are just shallow and always look for the one-liner. At least it's Fridat
Shallow or not, at 75 I am old enough, and I hope wise enough, to understand not to take things said on an anonymous football forum too seriously or at least not always at face value. Without giving it much thought, numerous examples come to mind, especially on the political threads.
I do like a one liner and am not into the heavy political thing, I leave that to those who are.
Yup,it’s Friday, but no booze for me, I’m trying to shed a few pounds, so I’m just watching the telly!
Have one for me!
