    Not arguing against what Labour donor Dale Vince has said here nor anyone else however I see no mention when they talk of this "utterly mad" rule of making it a level playing field seeing as renewables get subsidies that their competitors don't so of course they are likely to be cheaper. If it were a 1:1 competitive market then yeah, separate them but as it is now the non subsidy makes gas more expensive and therefore the "wholesale electricity" price.

    You can't really argue about a "dodgy market mechanism" when the price of your own product is being manipulated downward already

    Yea, I’ve never got that in politics. I get the argument they FU first but sometimes it’s better to make a decision, see how it plays out & if no good, change. Learn by your mistakes & don’t repeat.

    Car crashed into people at the Liverpool trophy parade. Sounds bad.

    Yeah I just saw it, 100% looks intentional. ****ing scumbag.

    Hood I'm wrong but I'll be surprised if there's no deaths :(

    Police did well to detain them before they were lynched.

    Interesting they announced his race and so quickly, makes me wonder if that's directly related to the criticism they got re Southport.

    Not sure how I feel about that tbh. I understand it's to try and stop social media speculation/agitation but bowing to the internet loons seems a bit odd.

    It is sad that we now have to clarify this every time to stop the bigots attacking people.

    There’s a lot of disappointed racists on Twitter this evening.

    No doubt they'll still get some sort of angle on it unfortunately.

    ****ing grim country at the moment.

    'Why do they only announce it so quickly when the person is white' incoming.

    Also expect a few will claim its false and the person is actually the race they want it to be so they can go out and start chaos like last year.

    Lots of people still claim it was a terror attack last year and not a mentally ill young man on a rampage.

    Yeah, it seems a stupid move to me.

    They've clearly done it to try and stop people claiming it to be race related but if anything it makes it worse that they would only do this with a white suspect.

    This will just lead to the double standard / two tier policing noise getting louder.

    Yep, apparently British police are "disgusting" criminal protectors for not letting the crowd lynch him. Loads of comments about the outrageous police having to use force to keep people away from the suspect. I genuinely don't know why I bother

    Jesus ****ing wept.

    It was necessary because of the risk last year would be replicated.

    The lot who spout 'two tier' rhetoric be damned, most of them were simply riot apologists and you just can't work with them, they will find an angle on it no matter what.

    Prevention is better than cure.
