Interesting speech from NATO. China is still opting out of condemnation of Russia. Support for Georgia seems interesting. And what weapons are provided by NATO?
ENERGY
So the government is going to backtrack on onshore wind farms due to anti-net zero mob and landowners. The big hope is nuclear energy but there are problems with this strategy. Firstly the time lag before a station comes on line is about 15 years. Secondly the cost spirals upward as delays and problems occur. Thirdly the waste problem has been forgotten, not solved. So whilst nuclear probably has a place in the future mix is should not be a large one.
Wind, solar and batteries have come down in cost by between 50-85%. and could fall further. Renewable energy is 100% likely to be far cheaper than nuclear, faster to instal and greener. We have moved through different ages from the wood age, to charcoal, to coal, to gas and the future is the electric age. Most of us have at least 20 electric powered goods in the house requiring plus or batteries excluding lighting and heating.
ISRAEL
Government thrown into disarray by MP resigning from government party over a piece of bread! The plight of the Palestinians is less important than a chunk of bread? How does anyone support this right wing nonsense?
IT MUST BE HORRIFIC
to live in a country with a leader who lies and shows little concern for its citizens. It is, and it is getting worse.
ELON MUSK
Ask me who god is? I have no way of forming a framework to answer? Ask me to justify how Elon Musk has amassed $289billion and I have the same response. He has bought 9.2% of twitter. And he is not alone in this stratosphere of fantasy wealth. All systems build on imaginary beliefs break eventually.
ELECTRIC CARS

Another adjective to describe our government – spiteful. A fantastically successful organisation that stimulates thousands of jobs in this country is being sacrificed to the rotting edifice of Brexit. Is it a warning to those woke, liberal or leftish leanings that this government will use all means available to maintain their hold on the country – and a warning to the BBC?
ECONOMIC CRISIS
Whilst food costs have fallen (perhaps to unsustainable levels), housing costs continue to rise. This hurts the poorest more obviously – but is a product of the unbalance capitalist system we have. I have no problem with a landlord who works hard and gets a 5% profit on his property and commitments. However we have been dispossessed of the land in this country. There should be a basic right to a living space that can be kept warm at a reasonable cost. Barratt Homes make a £50000 profit per house – estate agents and solicitors and surveyors all make excess sums (although I will concede that estate agents face proper competition and my experience with them has been fantastic).
CLIMATE CHANGE
Despite the horrible events of the past few years Climate Change is the one which will make Covid and Ukraine have the relevance of teenage zits to a pensioner. The normal tory unintelligent are liming up to thwart moves for onshore wind claiming ‘it is unsightly’ – death from climate events is fucking unsightly. I think they look rather nice and would love to see one from my bedroom window – and they are not noisy – can we move the likes of Sleaze-Dogg, petty patel, Nadine dimwit, Heating-haggis, Zahalfwit, et al to live under the Heathrow flight path, or maybe a terraced house near a trunk road.
INCOMPETENCE OR MALICIOUS?
There is no doubt about the first, but are they malicious? I think my ratio is veering to the the second. Their corruption places them in unprecedented territory for this country. They take money from the Russians and anyone else regardless of the costs to the public.
