Slightly off topic but, it breaks my heart watching my daughters struggling against the odds to keep a roof over their heads and bring up the children, times are very hard and while we do what we can to help sometimes you feel that without the goverment and our glorious leaders recognising the enormous problems ordinary people are up against every day it is a...

You couldn't make it up you know, the health service, schools etc are absolutely in dire straights, desperate for funding, and what do our senned come up with, let's have an additional 32 senned members, build extension to the Cardiff Bay mousileum so we got more committee rooms for us to have tea and cakes and dream up things like spending millions on 20 m.p.h speed limits then after a while spend millions taking them off again, funding the additional members and building costs don't seem to be a problem.
“….voting for more extreme party's like Reform,”
Reform is not an extreme party. It has policies which are slightly to the right of centre, that’s all. It is where the Tory party needs to pitch itself if it is to have any chance of success. Some examples of its “extreme” policies are:
- Reduce taxes and the size of the State
- Promote & grow the private sector (which pays for the public sector in its entirety)
- Reduce and properly control immigration
- Replace indoctrination with learning in schools and universities
- Promote the freedom of speech
If those policies are now thought to be “extreme” then something has gone seriously wrong in this country.
scary innit, how can our 'leaders' be so wrong about what people are really worried and concerned about. I had 2 jobs for nigh on all my working life, paid tax N. I. from both ( shift system on main job allowed time off ) my wife worked from when our youngest daughter started school, we sat here now with a quilt over my legs, and wife with wooly cardigan over her, can't put heating on, then you got Starmer in his 5 star hotel, lovely and warm, well fed, pledging millions and millions of pounds to make us green. U.S.A, China, Russia not joining in though, fed up to the back teeth I am, really I am.
It’s telling that although there are 50,000 delegates (dowwn from 100,000 last time out) attending the latest “COP” jamboree, leaders from the three most polluting countries haven’t bothered with it.
In contrast our manic obsession with “Net Zero” and our legally binding commitment to get there (our emissions being 1% of the global total), China (33%) simply has an “ambition” to reach net zero by 2060 and has either under construction or in planning coal fired power stations which will add 20 times the UK’s total capacity from all sources. President Xi has made it clear that cutting emissions will not be allowed to interfere with economic growth. Even under Biden’s Presidency, production of oil and gas has soared in the US (13% of global emissions). This is just as well because much of the UK’s gas is now imported in large diesel powered ships from that country). President-elect Trump has, of course made no secret of his plans to get the US tapping and fracking.
What have we done here? Drax power station has been converted to burn 7m tons of wood every year. Most of this is felled and processed in the USA and Canada and transported by diesel powered ships and trains to be burnt in Yorkshire. The emissions the transport spews out do not matter because they are counted against the US and Canada’s totals. Those that burning the wood produces - twice as high as if coal was used - also do not count as (it is claimed) new trees are being planted to reduced those felled. Drax is considered “carbon neutral” and it receives close on £1bn a year in subsidies to do this.
We’ve spent almost £50bn on wind turbines. Over the past fortnight during a spell of particularly calm conditions across the entire UK, this investment managed between 1% and 5% of the country’s demand. On occasions that figure was close to zero and at times during that spell, gas (which Mr Miliband wants to see eradicated as a source by 2030) was meeting over 70% of demand.
The people overseeing all this are fanatical lunatics – there is no other word to describe them. It is fairly well agreed that by 2030 supply will be unable to meet demand and there will almost certainly be power rationing. And the cost reaching that unenviable position means UK consumers are paying the highest prices of any member of the International Energy Agency.
The fanatics believe the UK’s actions will “save the planet” – in the same way that burning your house down may get rid of a troublesome wasps’ nest.
Depends on what scale you are measuring extreme.
Correcting the nation's problems should be in the middle of any reasonable scale. Either being excessively Woke, or excessively enthusiastic to do the WEF's bidding, well they should both be extremes. I'd suggest opting to achieve as little as possible was an extreme position too.
I see RBID is still with us..

Ironically since the bus the NHS has had much more than that figure anyway so the morons are doubly wrong.
