   Their dream is we all drive electric cars….The amount of lithium required to do this would mean mining like we've never seen before. Then try recycling all those lithium batteries

   No one cares about green technologies.
   We’ll all be dead from hunger and hypothermia
   I’m surprised that people can still afford a takeaway?

   They let us down cos they refused to put interest rates up. Basically lesson in economics, you can't print billions of quid in covid cash and not expect to put interest rates up to cope with the inflation that necessarily follows

   Astonishing really isn't it……people screamed for lockdown without thinking about the consequences now blame government about the consequences without exercising any introspection on themselves. In days gone by we'd say 'reap what you sow' but today we take no responsibility and just blame someone else. The latest financial figures are to the end of February and have nothing to do with energy caused by the conflict in Ukraine. Collective denial of lockdown damage is alive and well.
   As for energy supply problems it was obvious to me that globalisation would have the capacity to cause problems at some point just as freedom of movement and mass migration would spread disease. It's all coming home to roost.

   There's nothing wrong with rooftop solar… Wind isn't a great solution overall but not a bad contribution to the grid either to a point in moderation. Nuclear is OK when you don't skimp on any level of safety and mitigate every potential contamination possible without externalising the cost of end of life decommissioning back on the government. Of course nuclear isn't cheap either in that case. Government subsidises fossil fuels plenty and people piss the stuff up the wall really but you only ever moan about alternatives.

   Its not just this government who has let us all down, its the majority of our MP's.
   For years they have been attacking each other playing party politics, Allowing various minorities to take a disproportionate amount of time in parliament, pontificating on saving the planet, issuing policies which give no guarantees to solve anything they say the policies will remedy, then back to attacking each other playing party politics.
   Instead of using intelligence, intellect and competence expected of their position, to sort out serious problems effecting all of us.
   But, that involves deep thought and an intelligence to foresee potential real national dangers.

    The government has one agenda, climate change, they don’t care who suffers. They don’t know how to do it.

    As a student, Darren was able to scrape together £676,000 in 2016 to donate to the Leave campaign. Tell us how you were able to raise such a vast sum of money Darren, it could be inspiring for all those people so deeply affected by this cost of living crisis.

    The politics of greed.We paid huge sums to the EU. That huge sum was eyed by the greed in this country, if we left it was on the table for the taking. It was taken. Millionaires became Billionaires, we became poorer. Not one crumb fell off that table to land on the floor where the Common People live. The answer is no longer in the EU or re-joining the EU. The answer is in this country and the answer is to bring the politics of this country down and be able to vote in people who are NOT wealthy, who are NOT filled with greed, who love this country more than the money. How many can you count in Parliament? Any party that insists on a single document Constitution will get my vote because that is the starting point.

    That's the thing I really think they are trying t get rid of the pence and the pound, and force us all onto digital credit… Be very wary of who is coming to be our savour, the way out might be a quick fix, like the 2 weeks to flatten the curve, or take the jab lets gets back to normal.. The credit system MIGHT let you every now and again have a chippy meal for being good… But don't bank on it…..

    Successive governments have played the "Green" card all the wrong way! by farming out our energy requirements to foreign sources, instead of building our own! by that I mean Base Load provision methods such as Nuclear, Hydro, Wave & Tidal flow. all constant forms that do not require subsidies due to their complete lack of efficiency as in wind and solar, both struggle to rise above 17% whereas all the prior forms are in the high 70's% and above! Then Again we have the massive reserves of Oil & Gas under our territorial waters that is yet to be tapped into along with the existing fields in the north sea!

    Oil companies are making record profits from this fuel crisis, why can't the government do something, or is it like the covid crisis the politicians own shares in fuel and pharmaceuticals so they're rubbing their hands together.
    There's to much corruption even in our government system.
    How do we change it??????????

    This government seem to specialize in crises, don't they? How many crises have we been through so far under their "leadership"? I am losing count. Nothing that is being done to us is being done by chance. It is ALL deliberate and once you get your heads around that, it will all start to make sense.

    Pretty sure this is deliberate; destroy smaller businesses so that larger ones can have a monopoly on prices and charge whatever the hell they like since they won't have any competition. All part of the plan to make us all poorer (except big companies and the government of course).
