Sorry, I guess you weren't listening to PMQs, It's not compulsory, I assumed you were. My bad.

The question was: "is now the right time to increase fuel duty" now is not September.
KS said "fuel duty is frozen and will remain frozen until September". No ambiguity nor misinformation there.

Which was the reply she got.
She then carried on with the same line of questioning as though she got a different answer.

Not a fan of PMQs but I bet Badenoch thinks she won.

Listening to PMQs which is more than Badenoch appears to manage.
B: why are you raising fuel duty.
S: We're not.
B: does he understand the affect of a rise in fuel duty?
S: we're not increasing fuel duty.
B: why are you raising fuel duty?

My ear worm today is "the shadowy light" by Gorillaz.
I off playing football now and it isn't a useful tempo for that.

The elephant in the room is the need for federalisation. Maybe not complete but within certain sectors.
Hopefully this crisis will lead to accelerating the move towards renewable if that is what is meant by homegrown.

Based on my own experience of self diagnostic, what we dearly need is more information and understanding of what ADHD is. There is no cure, it isn't a condition. What will help is probably not diagnosis but an understanding of why you might thing a certain way or do certain things.

I don't think love has anything to do with it. But you're right, you can't hurry love, you just have to wait, love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take...

Echolalia in ADHD: Types, Causes, Treatment Echolalia is a behavior in which statements are repeated. Learn what the causes and signs of echolalia are, as well as its potential effects and benefits.

And again, that is a trait I recognise in me since childhood.

ADHD and earworm.
I remember a discussion with one guy telling me that part of his "symptoms" is having music in his head constantly.
That resonated with me because that is me, I have an ear worm almost constantly which feels uncontrollably obsessive. This led me towards something called echolalia:

The state pays the judges and they're the same judges no matter who the government is and they are independant of government in UK. As long as we hold on to the concept of the three branches we still have democracy. I'm talking about UK not USA.

But not funny though. It would of it was comedy though.

Speeding up the process might be a good reason if there are safeguards. Not sure I think it was ever a good idea to get people from the street to make complicated decisions. I may be simplifying though.

I guess she will help with the campaign and then go back to the law.

A future where a chosen few are living in domed cities whilst the rest of us have to scavenge for a living is sounding less distopian by the day.

I think we have to accept there are no laws of war anymore. The books have been ripped up and burned by Putin, Netanyahu and now Trump.
There are no rules anymore.

But reinforces a stereotype in terms of what we think of Americans shoot first policy.
We remember the friendly fire incidents of Irak war.

Some reports suggest that it was an error due to US using out of date maps, not an excuse but I'm willing to accept that as a reason.
