  1. the Welsh assembly have said farmers need to use their land to plant 20% trees and 20% wild flowers. Effectively reducing food production in Wales by 40%. That's a big figure. Given inflation rates and foodshortages it really isn't a great plan.

  2. yes. America has had an abundance of cheap energy from fracking and no war. Europe in comparison was been reliant on Russian gas, Chinese exports and a huge conflict on it borders.

  5. It's not ideal. It ridiculous. I lived at home for 8 months, and I used that time to save money for a cheap house. My main aim was for independence. This never-ending childhood is probably what is driving a lot of male mental health problems.

  6. Don't worry, they bring the developers in from India or Africa. High end jobs are not safe.

  7. ​ @jimbøb-i9q  The market is not always right. Farmers only make money 1 year in every five. Without subsidies we wouldn't have any food.

  8. You are 100% right. This is what people don't understand. Unless you are a public sector worker, trade unions are completely pointless because you are completely replaceable by a Indian imigrant. They are all very highly educated and their are 1 billion of them.

  9. ​​ @connorh2215  It doesn't help when we try to diversify our energy needs. Environmental lobbying groups try to shut down the projects. Gas fields, coal mines or oil. We can't produce anything here in the UK.

  10.  @sean5350  Or anyone with any common sense.

  15. ...its probably to do with Brexit.

  17. ....when push comes to shove, everyone will fall to the USAs will.

  18. Sein fein is a anti EU nationalist party. So i would argue what is happening in Ireland is in line with the rest of the Britsh Isles.

  19. I bet Germany wishes they had fptp voting now. They wouldn't win a seat in England.

  21. No one likes Macron.

  22. It doesn't surprise me. The IRA also thought the murder of children was perfectly fine as long it helped to meet their long-term goals.

  26. who on earth is going to fight for a European army? No one. You fight for your country not your continent.

  27. The two countries hardest hit economically are the UK and Germany. Both have been reliant on imported European gas.

  28. ​ @Deadeye012011  At the end day we all competed in the same European market. If Germany is paying high prices, so are we.

  34. ...no it hasn't. Look at census data. It hasn't taken in any imigrants. Try living in England, its on a completely different level.

  35. yes Macron is right, they have huge government debt and the bond markets need some indication they are going to get their money back. Remember what happened to Liss Truss?

  36. Well at least Great Britain isn't the only political "crazy person" in the room.

  37. Of course, it's in everyone's interest. A strong Ukraine will keep Russia in place.

  44. I think Polands recent court hearing might destroy the EU.

  45. a solution would be to adopt the "first past the post" voting system. You would have strong governments, people still have a vote and be able to get things done
