  1.  @ingridschmid1166  the Torys have shifted from "the party of business" to 'the party of businesses that donate to the Torys'. The distinction may seem subtle but it leaves a lot of businesses (& all of the people) out of consideration.

  2. No, but they could sell off the sheds to recoup their losses, I expect freight forwarders would love the warehousing space.

  3.  @brendanbarker6403  Assaf Kaplan was hired to oversee the death of the party that elected Corbyn.

  4. Oops, sorry, it was Treasury secretary Liam Byrne.

  5. By passing Laws – the purpose of the Judiciary is to enforce the Law. Of course, this is totally unrelated to Cabinet Ministers coincidentally being members of the same Gentlemen's Clubs as Judges.

  6.  @childoftheuniverse2644  CambridgeAnalytica were employed for several million Pounds because they were very very good at their job, couple that with Robert Mercer's new psychographic targeting & those targetted had zero chance of making their own decision despite believing they had made their own choice. Even then, if 650,000 (1% of the population) had voted the other way the result would have been reversed. But you know all this if you've been keeping you so you must be trolling.

  7.  @capt.bart.roberts4975  whyever not? If they're criminals they need criminal sanctions.

  8. ...Contempt of Parliament & Contempt of a Parliamentary Committee. Is this the hearing that's under Oath? If so he's watching out for Perjury.

  10.  @mariogmajner6549  true but not relevant to this conversation. My binman has no shame but that's also irrelevant.

  11. you may be thinking of Wat Tyler rather than Guy Fawkes

  12. Lebedev, Rothermere & the remaining Barclay brother are all UK-resident citizens. I believe Lebedev even pays tax here. The solution is a regulator as specified by Leveson, one exists (IMPRESS) but newspapers are currently entitled to select their own regulator.

  13. That's my expectation – beaches around the world beckon & when he's bored of that much of his money lives in the States 😂

  14.  @Spac3d1  Alexander Lebedev calls him Sascha - short for Alexander

  15. Even if it had been forced to a vote the Torys would have voted for it because it gives them a scapegoat. They can say "they did it & we've sacked them so we're all ok now".

  16.  @nopants4259  Baby Boomers? Those born late in & soon after WWII? When critical thinking was still taught & encouraged at school? Oh, ok then, I'm sure you're right.

  17.  @trident6547  the treaty establishing the ECSC was signed in Paris in 1951 & ratified in 1952, apart from that you're spot-on.

  18. ​ @emm_arr if it still works, why not?

  19.  @emm_arr  stupid for the world's 6th largest economy to put its citizens in that position? I agree.

  20. ​ @emm_arr and there was me thinking it was you doing the trolling! 😂

  21. almost all articulated refrigerator trailers have a Diesel engine working the chiller - it's what's in the bulge at the front

  22. Blair made a start on that with Registers of Members Interests which are published on Parliament's website. You can see who has paid each MP more than £500 & why. There's a similar one for Parties held on the Electoral Commission's website.

  23.  @Serpsss  that website looks useful, thanks for persisting with Youtube's 'quirks'.

  24. no, USA taxes everything, worldwide, even if you're taxed by the country you're in though sometimes there's a 'credits' scheme instead of cash if you can prove you've already paid the local country.

  25.  @happyguilmore4253  has she? Please say more.

  26. Phil did not mention tidal, nor did he say GB Energy will either produce or sell energy. It won't. We already have a fund for donating to startups & innovators, I don't see why we need another.

  27.  @maureenharris8255  I think he's talking about PPI (Payment Protection Insurance or some such), a Government-backed scheme that ended up with spam phonecalls & scandals in the Press during Blair's tenure.

  28. knowing they've killed a quarter of a million with Covid & a further more than quarter million with everything else probably doesn't help much :'-(

  29. points 2 & 3 are challenged by looking around at PR elsewhere, normally government is by coalitions not by individual parties & where one coalition member insists on something daft the coalition collapses.

  30.  @DesperateDigger666  Patel has called for the reintroduction of capital punishment, she's even done it on panel shows on TV.

  33. John Major called them "bastards" during his tenure as PM but he kept them in check enough that his party still functioned.

  34.  @davidmcculloch8490  A party whose Leader didn't get his position by Treason?

  36.  @lonevoice  you're putting too much attention on debt, it really isn't that important (though Labour clear it every time they get in power). Japan has been running 250% debt:GDP for many many decades & they're doing just fine.

  37.  @therealrobertbirchall  Eaton make gearboxes & axles for lorries, I suspect you're thinking of an educational charity, Harrow perhaps? Or maybe Eton?

  38.  @normanclark933  as explained in other comments here it's faster.

  39.  @bereal6590  my comment "you're making yourself look stupid" was meant more as a helpful hint than anything else; your 2-word "Tory bot" comments, repeated against different named people & against evidence really don't improve your projected image.

  40.  @ab-ym3bf  the English have a tendency to suddenly boil over when pushed too far, several politicians have died of that over the centuries.

  41.  @gdwnet  that is exactly the problem, if we voters cannot believe our main information source, the Press, how are we to perform our role in our democracy? Without a believable Press our democracy is dead or at least severely harmed.

  42.  @GafftheHorse  in theory we have that in the Courts but they need a serious kick up the backside to start doing their job.

  43. the camoron/pig thing was a product of isobel oakshott's deranged mind. It worked because many people thought him capable of it (I don't believe he has the equipment though I don't want to check)

  44. ​ @stonehengemaca jailing the first one is adequate warning.

  45.  @bereal6590  which is why it's lucky we have such a large HoL, the Government insertees are swamped by those who take their role seriously. Also, the majority of Government insertees were only granted peerage as thanks for donations & don't actually turn up.

  46.  @MazzaEliLi7406  it's a little longer than that, there were memes on the topic featuring Mrs May

  47. Inept or corrupt? Mr Sunak owns a hedgefund...

  48. Mostly by selling it to countries that can't produce their own biogas or do away with gas. The revenues go into their Sovereign Wealth Fund which benefits everyone.

  50. Greens are offering community energy projects like the street with solar panels that gets in the news occasionally or the amazingly successful German villages & towns.
