Absolutely bonkers that when he actually had some good news on inflation he choose to have an anxiety attack over net zero.tailwindhome said:1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Good? news on inflation! Only 😳 6.7%... so no worries there then at all at all.0

It's good news that we are up to our mouths in excrement, not our noses.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

To channel my inner Rick, it’s interesting that inflation doesn’t matter to Boomers with their triple lock, inflation proof pensions.
More odd is why they find small boats a bigger issue when they are mainly not affected by people ‘coming here taking their jobs’ and already have their own homes. I guess they’re more likely to read newspapers and have their views formed by the tabloids.0 -
A mate and myself were both successful in getting our parents away from the Daily Mail and it's ilk quite a few years ago after pointing out it was poison just designed to make them angry and they'd be better off actually enjoying their retirement. My mum still gets wound up by some of the Mail-esque stuff in the local press though.Pross said:To channel my inner Rick, it’s interesting that inflation doesn’t matter to Boomers with their triple lock, inflation proof pensions.

And if you really want to channel your inner Rick, you will need to complain about them being enriched by high interests on their vast savings, funding all their high CO2 Saga holidays.

Stone cold winners from inflation. Your state handouts are going up way more than even real inflation is, and your savings are going through the roof.First.Aspect said:

The worrying thing on there is how few see economic growth as the most important. With economic growth you can improve all of the others. Lack of economic growth is the root cause of a lot of the issues. Again, I'm starting to sound like Rick - I need to take a break from this place!0

Depends if they ban pipes and cigars too.
Anyway, it'll be an own goal when Tories invoke the accusation of nanny-stateism at Labour, even if their own older (smoking) members don't force a U-turn.
That said, it really does cheer me up to have witnessed the decline in smoking in the UK in my lifetime, and does give me hope that people can be persuaded (probably through a mixture of legislation, social pressure and cost) to change harmful habits.0 -
If they're in the banning thing mood...xould they not ban single use vapes.rick_chasey said:
Or alternatively chop the hands off anyone found to be littering them.0 -
There you go. Didn't think there was much that could make me nostalgic for stale cigarette smoke but some doing an impression of a Glade plug in air freshener comes close.Jezyboy said:

Will there be a series of HS2 theme parks along where the line was supposed to be, to make use of all the sites where major works have started? Or will it be like a heritage railway line that goes from nowhere to nowhere, with steam trains making use of the tracks for day trips?

Wouldn't be surprised if Labour reverses all of these reversals. i.e. the Tory's are positioning themselves for a decade from now, to blame Labour for all of the decisions that the Tory's actually made to begin with.
They don't stand for anything at all, other than Brexit.0 -

And they don't even know what Brexit actually is, in practical terms. Never did, which is why they never got it.0
