Israel bombs hospital, deploys ground troops and employs a blockade to starve Palestinians – how is this not genocide? Meanwhile his bestie, Putin says there is a truce whilst continuing as normal. If this is peace on Trump’s terms the Ukranians and Palestinians will wish for something else.
Meanwhile back in the UK Ed. Milliband has come out swinging – denouncing the lies of the tories and Farage regarding Net Zero. Let us have more of this please. Lies should be called out, loud and clear. Unfortunately the lies are believed by the dull and ignorant! What is worse is the half truth – if we exploited remaining North Sea gas fields we would reduce imports of gas – from 97% to 94%! It is plain fucking sense that we should reduce reliance on gas and oil as quickly as possible, not only for economic reasons but strategic ones too! My own pet solution that would help the problem would be to reinstate the 20000 water mills in the UK (and add a few more). Not a great solution, but would provide power for about 100 000 homes – that is probably as practical as my use for chimneys! Houses rarely have fires so the chimney is a waste of space, and a source of damp! So use solar panels to produce electricity to raise a weight up the chimney when it is sunny. At night the falling weight could produce electricity? Oh well – back to the drawing board!
Time for a re-think about house designs. I am not a sensible person when it comes to fashion! But why do we use half the space of houses for bedrooms where we mainly sleep! There is a trend for more bathrooms and toilets – why? Does everyone get the shits listening to Trump? OK so my perfect house would have a big living room window facing south for maximum heating. Treble glazed! Then a large kitchen with a farm style table for eating. I think facing east so it gets the morning sun. What else – bedrooms – I am happy with a laundry basket X2 clean and laundry! A big bed cos I am a fat fucker! Then – no mirrors (who wants to see themselves after a night out, or even the morning after! bathroom has enough room for a good shower and maybe a bath somewhere in the house? garage/shed for keeping shit in! Certainly not the car! And whilst here – every house has the following which they use rarely! Power tool, lawn mower, kitchen appliances like a pasta maker, yogurt maker, etc. Surely a civilised society would find a way to share these things! But no – we all buy less than perfect versions regularly and make the fat cats happier as they counf profits! So I would suggest a model where people who join pay £200 which covers cost of equipment, and can be used to buy more. Booking equipment can be done online in advance – and as everyone knows each other, problems of double booking should be able to be resolved?
I have relegated my lawnmower to the depths of the garage – but why does everyone have one, and use them only once a fortnight`?
