CarnelianHeat pumps and electric cars are very flawed technologies. I'd love them to not be because the direction is honest and good for the world, but they are. Maybe the technology might improve but currently, it is not fit for its intended purpose. Neither technologies are an improvement on what they intend to replace in terms of cost and function. There will need to be a shake-up of incomes before the majority of the working class can afford the technology imposed on them without blowing a huge... [ more ]

BazIt’s disgusting Velvet It beggars belief ….Mr Bs uncle was in there after his stroke a decade ago….it doesn’t bear thinking about [ more ]
velvet donkeySentencing date set for nurses accused of drugging stroke unit patients [ more ]
velvet donkeyThis is another one that pisses me off. Nurses and food banks. If you can drive to a food bank you just don't get it. Stop waving that one around. [ more ]
BazSeems like we are going backwards , eh Suricat. [ more ]
suricatAs a child, I remember my eldest brother presenting me with 'cream of pea soup' (which was the 'juice/water' from a 'can of peas' mixed with 'milk')! When (at the same time) my 'next elder brother (and his friend)' foraged a local farmer's field for 'potatoes' and 'other' produce to improve our dietary intake. 'At that time', 'Governmental Control' had little forcing to outcomes (1950-60s). However, I'd have thought that we've 'moved on' since then? Perhaps not? Best regards, Ray Dart (aka, ... [ more ]
Dame_Ann_AverageAll is good here Velvet, I was with Hoochi Thursday until Saturday...I'm in recovery mode She sends her best wishes to you all . I hope things are well with you [ more ]
CarnelianEdwina Curry has been spitefully trolling the poorest of the working class for decades. It's her USP. She's a waste of space with opinions that are no different nor more nuanced than any ten-a-penny right-wing troll on Twitter or Facebook. [ more ]
velvet donkeyShe went to Oxford. Feck they all went to Oxford. Can't count. Not a major offence but revealing. [ more ]
BazI agree too …and chuck Diane Abbot in for good measure [ more ]
CarnelianQuite the hypocrisy of Theresa May calling Jeremy Corbyn a racist while presiding over what to me was a criminal abuse of Windrush pensioners' human rights deporting Windrush pensioners after decades in the UK and often to a country that was as foreign to them as anyone in the UK. Sunak's just the same, immigrants are "wonderful" if they're loaded but beyond contempt if they're working class. He, Patel and Braverman prove beyond any doubt that a racist psychopath's a racist psychopath... [ more ]
CarnelianWhat's wrong with hounds? Elvis was completely out of order slagging them off like that. I would have liked to have seen him sing "Hound Dog" at Crufts and see if he got away with it. [ more ]
BazI was a Beatles fan , way back in the day . Was never keen on the Stones …bit too out there for me . [ more ]
BazYes , it’s all gone to hell in a handcart , eh ! [ more ]
velvet donkeyLiz Truss and Kwasi. The best laid plans. What a shower of idiots since 2010. What was Cameron thinking about giving a referendum. Feck he gave two. His backbenchers and the Tory party. Exactly the same now. The Tory party comes before the nation. Wave your Union flags. Thatchers govt. were at least adults. Their kid on hero. [ more ]
BazSadly yes Velvet Luckily my son , saw the writing on the wall and took out a 10 year fix last autumn , just before the wheels fell off ! [ more ]
CarnelianWith this lot and their ideological protection of shareholder interest, raw sewage could come out of taps and they still wouldn't do anything except tell us the cheapest prices for bottled water. [ more ]
El LoroI don't watch that but, yes, she does. I think that the two programmes will be somewhat different, I would be rather surprised if Harry Hill were to be presenting this new series [ more ]
BazHi lower back Yes, it did look the sort of thing I would have really liked . [ more ]
lowerbackI caught a few episodes of "Rise and Fall" on C4 and I have to agree with you, velvet donkey, about the quality of the editing. It's a well-crafted show and quite interesting. The timing didn't always work out for me either, Baz, but I tried to catch it when I could. [ more ]
