British Politics

Morning...

I've taken on aboard @stopmeandslapme 's comments from yesterday, and have now lifted Duncs temporary ban. I will also lift the Prem board ban, but he must restrict himself to the Norwich board when over there, otherwise the ban will be reapplied.

Pete remains confined to the Hull board.

I see a thread up is to select a new GC mod, so I don't have to get involved in the absence of Jip, and looks like it's going to be a landslide nomination for @pompeymeowth - let me know when you want me to apply the tools.

 

As a connoisseur of rug munching videos, I endorse this nomination on behalf of the rest of the POOVES.

 

This hints that the ULEV was about making money, and they got their sums wrong.

£61m scrappage scheme to help Londoners for Ulez has ‘run out of cash’.

It also emerged yesterday that more than nine in 10 vehicles driving within the Ulez zone, which expanded to the suburbs on October 25, comply with the emission rules and are not liable for the £12.50-a-day levy.

TfL finance chief Simon Kilonback said “compliance rates are 91 per cent”, which will result in TfL pocketing £600 million less than hoped in Ulez levies and fines over the next three years.

 

Cracking move, make one of the biggest culprits of posting inane pap the mod, keep the victim banned, and leave the abusers.

 

Gutted to lose after preparing a whole victory speech ^

 

Maybe he should suggest pushing for a pointless war?

Tony Blair: Labour must reject 'wokeism' and push left 'to the margins' if it wants to win power again.

Nomination approved.

 

PM’s climate change council has not met in almost 7 years
Who is, then, advising the PM for his climate goal announcements?

India announced ambitious goals for mitigating climate change at the recently concluded 26th Conference of Parties (CoP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The most significant among them is the country’s target of achieving Net Zero carbon emissions status by 2070.

Along with this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared a slew of targets for 2030 during his address at climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland. These include increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in the country’s energy mix to 50 per cent, increasing renewable energy capacity to 500 gigawatts, reducing emissions per unit of the gross domestic product to 45 per cent of 2005 levels.

Two questions arise after these commendable announcements: How did the Prime Minister arrive at these commitments and how will his government implement them?

The answer to both lies in the meetings and work of the Prime Minister’s Council on Climate Change (PMCCC) which had been formed by the Union government under the leadership of Manmohan Singh in mid-2007.

The council was re-constituted after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014. Modi held the first meeting of the council on January 19, 2015.

Blimey, Brexit's gone global.

How world’s major economies are dealing with spectre of inflation.

The world’s major central banks are scratching their heads over how to deal with the rising cost of living. Raising interest rates now could deal a blow to the post-pandemic recovery. Wait too long, and inflation may spiral out of control.

Just read that human traffickers are building a massive circus cannon on the French coast.

If the 3rd World Darwin award participants get hurt Brexit and racist gammons will be blamed.

 

The car accident in America last weekend was absolutely horrific.

The person of interest behind the wheel was driving a gas guzzling people carrier and drove 50 miles across state lines .

He clearly didn't care about the impact his actions have on the environment.

 

Maybe he thought it was an exstinktion rebellion protest?

 

After years of politicising race in America from a 17 year old shooting white people branded a white supremacist by Biden and Charllotesville when a white man ran over a white woman.

The recent car accident isn't framed in the same way for some reason.


ALL the dead were white and the driver a black supremacist.

6 killed 62 injured 18 young children horribly maimed and many will be permanently disabled.


The silence is deafening

 

Utter hypocrisy.
