They phone and ask questions in office hours I believe, when pensioners are at home and others out at work. I should add Iโ€™m a green member pensioner.

Basically all the things that should never have been asset stripped away.

Are you watching Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - itโ€™s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Most of us assume big firms use cutting edge tech to minimise pollution & harm to people's health, & regulators make sure companies clean up after themselves. The reality, in the fossil fuel industry, can be different, as this @oilfieldwitness podcast explains:

Fuck the liberal democracy, Iโ€™m 68 and I want to see a progressive democracy before I shuffle off. Some of us oldies havenโ€™t forgotten marching against the national front.

The problem we face as a society is that these sort of โ€œmistakes โ€œ are the reason some people are attracted to to them. We kid ourselves that we British are a tolerant welcoming people and some of us are, but around a third of us are racist, fascist leaning bigots.

He should never be a good fit for anywhere. Just another Farage grifter

Iโ€™d get rid of the lot of them.

Copied from FBook, this bloke has inadvertently ended up contacting the right people

"According to geologists & environmental experts, the landslide in Niscemi is the latest sign of how the climate emergency is reshaping the Mediterranean, where there has been indifference to decades of flawed building policies and an out-of-control model of urbanisation"

I agree, most do, however, I donโ€™t care whether itโ€™s a child or an adult being noisy and disruptive in a restaurant. I do expect whoever is in charge to deal with it, either the parent or the staff at the venue. Why should others have a ruined experience.

08.02.2026 11:31 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You said you had a meal ruined by disruptive adults, so you admit the behavior of others ruined your experience, thatโ€™s not acceptable regardless of age. If I was the parent Iโ€™d check if there was a reason but if not, Iโ€™d leave.

I donโ€™t care how old the person at the next table is, adult or child, if their behavior is loud and disruptive, they should leave. If that makes me a bad person, so be it.

Well they should have been asked to leave then, Iโ€™m not picking on kids. The post was about kids

Im not defending that kind of approach or language, Iโ€™m asking parents to be realistic and not put their kids in that situation too young.

I had three sons, all of whom are well rounded adults and great fathers themselves, thanks for asking. If they had annoyed other people when they were kids we would have left the restaurant.

Im saying itโ€™s not fair on the child to place unrealistic expectations on them. They can play but need to understand itโ€™s not acceptable to scream and shout.

I think parents need to think before taking a small child to a restaurant, itโ€™s not fair on the child to expect them to sit quietly throughout a meal. When they old enough to understand that this is a quiet place, of course, take them but also take colouring books and pens/books/Ipad.

I know of two ladies with moderate to severe dementia who are able to dance every step in their line dancing class without prompts and once cared for a lady with severe dementia who had been an opera singer, when the music played she sung every line.

I left the Labour Party and joined the greens ages ago, however, please can we hold civil conversations rather than hurling abuse.
