With global warming they could be used as space cooling as in air con by reversing the motor, but l get your point about disposal which is increasingly a problem with things we produce today.
One or two like a pivot, that's true. Johnson's just the natural evolution of the soundbite culture that's been allowed to develop between the politicians and the media. What do we learn when a politician of either side goes on half a dozen channels of a morning and says exactly the same thing to the same couple of questions six times? Nowt. We could really be doing with a British version of Rogan's format. Gets someone in for two or three hours, it's impossible to keep up a facade for that long one to one. Find out what these people think and reason, not how good they are at repeating phrases.
A lovely family lived next door to us in Ford Estate and if you knew how to fiddle benefits you can have a real cushy life. Don’t believe what the soft s hites tell you.
I still believe it's a valuable exercise. Publicly refusing to a question, that's in the public's mind, or conspicuously avoiding answering can tell people quite a lot. Besides, the alternative is that we never see Ministers questioned which would be poor. If Sunak also bans Ministers from the likes of Question Time it would send out a terrible signal.
I was saying earlier to a mate that I dont think we have a single decent political journalist anymore. I honestly cant find one I think does a decent job. I stopped watching these sort of shows for any political insight a while ago to be honest. Every so often I watch a 'highlight' clip amd have my fears concerned. Journalists are never able to get an answer from a politician. It makes no difference which side they come from. Yvette cooper recently is a prime example, on with Kuensberg. I am not sure what his logic is, but I dont think any great insight will be missed, personally. Another open net for Labour though, can they actually take a shot this time I wonder?
I've been critical of the bbc journos recently especially when you compare their questioning techniques with Rigby from sky.
Rigby's the Garth Crooks of political interviewing. Her luxuriating in the question is far more important to her than the answer. Not to mention her now conveniently forgotten COVID indiscretions.
The Today programme for News and Any Questions and the Answers follow on for feed back are about all I can listen to these days . Quotas and agendas rule the BBC radio and TV these days, however the Today programme has recovered from the loss of John Humphrys remarkably well,with Nick Robinson and Martha Carney taking the honours, Nick Watt on TV is also very good at his job, but many of the others are far below the standards we expect from the BBC, both nationally and regionally.
To be honest I find Rigby really difficult to watch. She is one of those that revel in celebrity status, but that is just me. Also find it a bit rich her being prime time for Sky after her own covid breach. She isnt for me I am afraid.
Fair point om question time. I didnt think it would last post Humphreys. Nick Robinson has got better at his job I think.
It's just relentless Suspended Tory MP David Warburton breached code of conduct An MP breached Parliament's code of conduct over a £150,000 loan from a Russian-born businessman, a watchdog has ruled. David Warburton failed to declare a loan given to him by Roman Joukovski via an off-shore trust while lobbying for the businessman. He will avoid punishment after apologising for breaking the rules. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63706016.amp
Just ten months after this happened, outrageous. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.in...iner-mi5-mps-chinese-labour-b1992599.html?amp
He's another Tory sex pest and now guilty of scrounging cash off a Russian ... ... 'sordid' doesn't come close to describing it all. Twelve years in power proves the old saying, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
