I couldn't rate their food - had it years ago, was awful and overpriced, so take snacks now and eat properly in liverpool/Lancaster. The lack of response might be indicative of past performance.

Them bloody poor people again! Ruin everything.

It's reckoned about 5% of people are unemployable, our unemployment rate is, what? 3%? Go figure... .🙄

While I'm on it, these massive coal powered electricity stations could have been commissioned to power the factories to make the goods to export to Europe, which Europe doesn't make anymore because it decommissioned its own power plants and whacked the prices up so that it could go green.

It does, but i don't know for a fact. However, if the people getting electricity through coal powered stations are no longer cutting down forest and woodland habitats to fuel their lives, is this a gain for the world?

I don't think we should be allowed anything new until we learn to maintain what we have. The pavement on Parliament Street in Ramsey is an ecological niche!

I talked to an engineer over here who is well known for his green credentials, he said the best thing they could do is go from house to house installing insulation where it's needed. But they do like their big 'look at my legacy' capital projects

Yeah, we believe in shopping local, their range of mens clothes is individual to say the least, but I get work gear and bedding from there. What a shame

The bloke is talking about his ill wife. Still, you got a couple of likes, so I suppose it's all good. Ffs

I wonder if the new farm carbon engagement officer role will work contrary to Alf's 'buy local' campaign. I regularly talk to a farmer who loves his work, but is now questioning continuing to do it. He's an actual food producing farmer as opposed to one of the many grant farmers. One of the neighbouring land owners has given up farming and now gets grants for tree planting, etc. The farmer I talk to, fed up with the long hours, increasing regulation, uncertainty of supply chains for winter feed, fertiliser etc, increasing costs and government misadventure ( the meat plant, failure to sell on wool), is thinking of going the same way. I can imagine the farm carbon engagement team will be quite happy to see our carbon footprint lowered by farmers not actually farming. We've seen it with other industries - Britain lowers its carbon footprint by sending its industry overseas. And then imports the stuff we were producing back, creating a bigger carbon footprint, but vitally, not in our little part of the world. It's beyond moronic, but it's a results driven business, Brian.

Absolutely. Whether it's the impact of social media or not, we seem to be in a time when ideology and opinion is taken as fact, and governments are basing their actions on this - as the Cass report has revealed in another area. And that's a fact. 😉

It's soul destroying. Fiscal efficiency? Pah. Just glad to see my now increased taxes are being used to good effect.

A bit of virtue signalling by Josem, maybe, but for all those who call him 'far right' (a phrase rendered meaningless by its current usage) and constantly demean him - what have you actually done for refugees? I mean, beyond pontificating on social media?

Why don't you just play the ball, not the man?

Possibly not, could be yet another wake up call to the Incel losers and the danger they pose, particularly in the context of social media.
