Yeah...its all BS. No sane government would commit to 6x the energy use for heating over heat pumps.

Not to mention it has been a core part of the mythos of the Iranian Revolution that it was against the British and American control of the shah (basically true), so proposing Britain and America reimpose a monarchy is not going to end well.

The Iranian revolution didn't occur in the context of the Shah (whose father himself seized power rather than inheriting it) being universally beloved of the people.

What is wrong with these people.

The current claim of some gas network operators is we'll all be using biogas.

It's wildly unfair that the Computer Misuse Act forbids me fucking with the life of my Trump Supporting dickhead of a namesake.

The 'lanyard class' basically goes back to the basic failure to consider the minimum wage barista in starbucks as a worker.

Class politics but you're only working class if retired and living in a suburban bungalow.

Am new to "lanyard class" terminology and confused about how the thing that separates me from the CEO and shareholders I work for (I don't have people to open doors for me) is somehow an elite status symbol.

I love travelling by train, but also, DB once managed to make me 16 hours late.

I think people don't appreciate that the national scandal of Trans Pennine Express actually had better reliability than DB ICE.

Young refugee spent winter on London streets due to ‘secret’ hotel eviction rule Home Office now must give notice of its discretion to extend 28-day deadline, which it did not do for 19-year-old

Let's just be really clear here, this is far from an isolated case. The Home Office routinely makes vulnerable people homeless, and yesterday's announcement by the Home Secretary on increasing the removal of support from some asylum seekers will make it worse.

'Your winnings sir' remains one of the best delivered punchlines in cinema.

21 yeara ago....any policy that leaves people destitute and forbidden to work is a breach of ECHR.

It's stretching my memory a bit but I am about 95% sure the whole 'ban from working or reciept of public funds' thing was ruled an Article 3 ECHR breach like 20 years ago.

Pictured: my boots this morning😭

Some cranes taking flight over the marsh (sound on)

Got them out.

One is full of mud 😭

Currently waitint on a 22 tinne excavator to remove my wellies from a marsh.

How is everyone else's morning going?

Often nature moments are envisioned and waited for.

You see something or imagine it might happen, and you have to plan and return multiple times

Often it never happens

Then there are the completely unexpected encounters

Like a baby goose hopping on mamas back

And it's FUCKING ADORABLE!

Window installs would be 50% cheaper if not for all the 'heroes' disrupting glaziers at work.

Tonight was one of the worst fascist protests we've seen in Aberdeen recently. Completely uncontrolled by police, fascists chased down multiple groups of asylum seekers who were trying to return home. We had to funnel them through our protest area to keep them safe. Which upset the far right.

South Korea and India would also like words.

Sadly our buses don't appreciate scritches.

The tragic reminder here is that if you are scratched by an animal in a country with rabies, you need to seek treatment. Once you have symptoms you are the walking dead.

Unfortunately my workplace has already said I can't dress up as my favourite character unless my favourite character wears orange high vis and a hard hat.

A true loss to our cultural tapestry.

So the seig heiling Nick Tenconi thinks they're too extreme?

Wow.

Fuck you trump.

Also fuck the UK government for not fixing marginal energy pricing.

Now don't ask questions about what this implies for all those very expensive surface ships western navies keep buying.

I suspect she or an aide has misread something about them not being designed to shoot down ballistic missiles, and claiming they can only be stopped at source.

The problem with that line is;

A) They have shot down ballistic missiles
B) Hezbollah are firing drones from Lebannon.
