I think its so funny you folks have to pay to file your taxes . Here in France its free as it saves the govt money . Have a nice day ! Land of the not so free !
loved this interview
Very interesting . I was reminded of a time I was rehousing refugees . Racism was so many times equal to ignorance . Once people actually met their new neighbours and came to see them as people not stereotypes the racism dissipated. I loved the idea of prediction machines

This year is so F@@@@@ up if you can guess or work out what happens next I am going to ask you lottery number suggestions 😜
Its not like Iran made a secret of its plans to close the gulf ffs . Led by morons frankly
One of the reasons why its been not seen as such a big deal here is that most properties are now quite well insulated and that works both ways . Our houses are mostly stone and brick I dont know anyone with A/c near here
I want one !
Peter Mandelson advised the government to use Nigel Farage as "a bridgehead, both to President Trump & to Elon Musk. You can’t ignore him, he’s an elected member of parliament, a public figure. National interest is served in all sorts of weird & wonderful ways." Including legitimising fascists...

It's funny how #Green energy can help both the people AND the planet, yet those in power still bother with expensive fossil fuels.
I wonder if it's because #Labour & the #Tories are in their pockets?
yes but you work at the House of Commons are there are a lot of customers around there ...................( JOKE )
In WW11 the germans sunk more allied shipping using mines than using u boats
Who is going to take over ? there is no organised opposition The Kurds ? no interested dont trust Trumpy nope Royalists Nope as they exists only in the USA MEK these nutters are hated by everyone So who else is there ?
not all shocks are bad
because the MEK fought for Iraq ( saddam) the the USA and has been funded by Israel . They combine the worst of every other side I was told - its a political quasi religious cult etc etc
Great stuff Ed my only quibble would be the way you portray the MEK ? I worked with Iranians in the UK and the hatred of MEK runs deep on every side the Religious ,the Royalists , left wing political types etc etc . They would rather any other the other groups run Iran rather than the MEK
FACTS:
Net Zero barely nudges your bill.
Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.
So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.
no . ..next question 😜

"I think you're gonna see a disastrous election." only for your side old chap, only for your side .
I suggested getting rid of standing charges and someone argued they were a means of subsidising poor people ..... no I could not understand that either
None of the Turkeys we interviewed expected any negative results on the 25th December or thanks giving
