Would be interesting to see the real world costs of different lifestyles. Healthier lifestyles are leading people to live longer - but do not have more disease free years. So basically, on average, you have time to develop multiple chronic conditions which need to be managed and use more NHS services and draw more pension. Fat smoking git pays a lot of tax whilst working then drops dead from heart attack, stroke or cancer before drawing pension or shortly after. If you want an affordable NHS and pension bill arguably we should all live off bacon sandwiches, sugar and Marlboro.

More to the point why do the totals only add up to 37.4%? Who are the other 62.6% if they aren't white, Asian black or mixed? Presumably its to do with missing data but very misleading

I think people are just bored of the schtick tbf.

Ffs man get some self respect. Plagiarising wiki and trying to disguise the fact by changing the order a little is beyond sad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent

When I worked at a hospital in London we had a guy in with two dead hamsters stuck up up his ass. Claimed to not know how they got there.

I wish it was. I genuinely think he's pickled his brain and what we see is all that's left.

Not at all. I'm loving reading the report co-sponsored by the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creationism and co-authored by Marlo Lewis whose recent other publications include Are The Feds To Blame For Shark Attacks? ; The Benefits Plastics Products Provide Wildlife and the Environment and Washington’s War against the Incandescent Light Bulb Is Back

Why don't you reference anything? Is it because you want to appear as though you know what you're talking about and obscure the fact that it's all copy and paste?

There is a huge difference between being an elected politician and career professional. Politicians are made or broken by public opinion -thats the rules of the game where you benefit or lose depending on whether you tell a good joke or shag somebody the public approve of. I dont want the same JD for a Police Commissioner.

Haha. Your lack of self awareness is awesome! You think 2003 emails from a small number of researchers at one university undermines the global climate science consensus. Everybody knows about the historic malpractice at UEA 18 years ago. You know what it changes? Nothing.

That was my point. Agricultural land is c£4-10,000 per acre, enough for 8 good sized houses. Land with planning permission can be well over £2m million per acre - £250,000 per house. There are a number of mechanism by which farmers could get, say, double what their land is worth as farmland without somebody, usually land banks, gaining millions from the process of a council authorising house building.

Its mixed good and bad. What is wholly bad is that successive governments have taken no action to address long standing skills shortages in industries like building and that governments since the referendum have taken no steps to deal with totally forseeable problems associated with ending freedom of movement and the loss of that cheap labour. It was obvious we needed some kind of 20 year plan of phased changes. But as we all know - that was well beyond Boris, Vote Leave and the ERG. What we got was crowd pleasing populist crap and empty assurances. The consequences of Brexit were always going to be mostly negative, but that doesn't mean the positives couldn't have been maximised and the negatives mitigated. Just do it - it will all work out fine - maybe, had never been a form of government until now. It was, and is, negligent and reckless and most worrying of all long term in terms of both influence and trade. Despite what befuddled GM says the City has already lost top spot to New York and is only just hovering above dropping down to 4th. Brexit has cut a vein.

Housing is the real killer of living standards. Our housing stock is mostly cramped, low quality, energy inefficient and outdated. There is no real reason , apart from profiteering based on planning permission that you can’t build a good quality spacious house that currently costs £500k for only only £200k

Sacking public officials because they have become whipping boys for the tabloids is a really dodgy road to travel down. All it will lead to is ever fewer quality people wanting the job, just as has happened with politicians. I have absolutely no idea if Cressida Dick is good at her job or not - and nor have 99.9% of her critics.

Thats assuming the geological and biological situations are the same now as 33 million years ago . They arent. We have compromised earth's ability to self regulate. Pre man higher CO2 emissions were eventually counter balanced by more vigorous tree growth and the spread of forests to new areas, locking up the carbon for hundreds of years. Now were are digging up locked up carbon in fossil fuels and releasing them by burning. At the same time have chopped down the large majority of the forests and replaced them with agriculture - so carbon is no longer locked up and instead released again the same year.

I work for somebody who gets all the policy decisions he needs by paying Carrie three days consultancy pm. Its the cheapest deal in history.

It was for his charitable foundation wasn’t it ?

Actually there are some nettles in the corner and an apple tree I mostly didn't bother to pick....

Something like this presumably

Good for you mate. Looks cosy

Supposedly he has been running with a personal trainer since he got covid last Spring. Yet he is just a flabby and out of shape as before. I'd be asking for my money back.

You got your heating on? Seems a bit selfish when demand for gas is exceeding supply.

Your niece is permanently pissed on cheap brandy and sheep dip as well?

The Saintsweb Taliban Calendar. Approved activities by month. I wasn't aware I needed permission to cut this, two weeks growth, and should have left the petrol for someone to go Mcdonalds instead. It grows in November as well unless its really cold. Hope that isn't too counter revolutionary
