    I said from the beginning that Ukraine had no chance against Russia and did not understand how Ukraine was going to defeat Russia. It's clear now. Their plan is to drag our population into this war. So that those of us who could work, get an education, travel the world, go to Ukraine and die there.

    Drop the climate change brigade into the sea and the world can go back to normal.

    As if it's not too late to keep a global temperature at 1.5 degrees, we're NOW finding out we'd never afford to prevent the end of the world?? Great. :-/

    Green technology may have dropped in price, but if they're not largely affordable (and most importantly more affordable than carbon technology) taxing carbon technology will hurt people, especially the poor.

    "Top 10% of the list" isn't saying much when you omit what is the distribution among the countries.

    I mean, it is saying *something*, but probably not what you intend to say.

    That Foghorn of Ignorance Farage Farts off again…

    Why do you give this nutter air time? He lied about the benefits of leaving the EU but still took his pay and pension whilst an EU MEP. He has encouraged racial tensions. His support of Trump and Putin (with Arron Banks-anyone got £500k paid in roubles and undeclared? ) makes him highly suspect when it comes to anything to do with the interests of the UK.

    The UK is responsible for the spread of industrialism around the world, they should really take some responsibility for correcting the environmental dame it’s caused.

  9. @GratedArseCheeks

    December 23, 2023 at 8:23 pm

    We should be striving to advance technology and solutions to our problems not just reverse them and pretend they don't exist. How could we claim to be a leading power if we choose to develop backwards into the industrial era?

    I agree with farage

    Why UK even needs a Parliament & Representative democracy when it is going to decide big issue through Referendum ??

    If UK wants to Net-Zero emissions then it needs to invest heavily in:-
    (1) Nuclear-Energy => SMRs & FBRs
    (2) Green-Hydrogen production & Storage
    (3) Strategic Uranium & Lithium Reserves
    (4) Coal Liquefaction & Gasification

    Spanish government should unilaterally ditch the Treaty of Utrecht

  13. @simongaudin2506

    December 23, 2023 at 8:23 pm

    if Farage thinks its a good idea we can be certain its not

  14. @sevret313

    2:15 Correction. Boris is proper right-wing, not center-right.
    What you meant to say was "The centre-left and the right…"

    Why brits listen to that man, isn't brexit bad enough to prove that she doesn't know what he's talking about?

    Please no more fucking referendums. The U.K. can’t do referendums.

    It seems like politicians are like people on welfare even across the pond. I'm fascinated by parasites that can latch on for decades without killing the host.

    my favourite conservative contradiction si when they don't believe in climate change or won't address it properly, but also are opposed to migrants and refugees.

    The issue can and do go hand in hand. As the climate worsens, areas of the global south will become uninhabitable and thus will lead to masses of migrants streaming into Europe and North America

    Don't want that? Support climate measures

  19. @AlexaMG35

    December 23, 2023 at 8:23 pm

    Ah yes, lets just rely on fossil fuels more, which are the main contributors to the cost of living crisis…

  20. @robparker1742

    Can we hold a referendum to send Mr Farage to Mars?

  21. @nathansavage8692

    December 23, 2023 at 8:23 pm

    How long will it be before someone makes a U-Kick esque game where Farage goes around torching rainforests?

  22. @ZsoltLauter

    December 23, 2023 at 8:23 pm

    There could be a voluntary climate tax and then the all mouth superheroes could show how committed they are without taking money out of everyone else's wallet as usually.

    TLDR really jumps the shark when they lead with the views of Nigel Farage.
