If Trump wants something, if Farage wants something, if GBNews and the Mail want something, I dont need to read the article (though I did) to know it is to make millionaires richer.

Action to bring oil price down, or action to bring death and destruction down?

Don't be negative. We need reasons to find an upside in this cluster...

If your energy needs are met from solar, wind, tidal, geothermal and nuclear sources, backed by copious battery storage, you're far less vulnerable to sudden crazy oil and gas price spikes.

Trump's war on Iran is the best possible ad for accelerating the greening of the economy.

The 40million who still support him will definitely blame Biden and Obama for starting this war. And they will still be blaming old man Biden and the Black man in 40 years time.

I think it was pure coincidence that Midsomer Murders aired the "Bunker" episode yesterday.

A dude in Texas who makes bomb shelters for nuclear war has seen his business skyrocket this week.

Recent clients include 2 Trump admin members, and the rest were almost all β€œChristian, conservative CEOs,” which included β€œseveral of the wealthiest men on the planet."

The (un- learnt) lesson of thatcherism is that efficiency is working out the right amount of spare capacity.

Never did understand why Conservatism is " the party of business"

If you convince yourself that sleepy Joe Biden slept thru 20years you might end up here.

20 years occupying Afghanistan wasn’t enough to break the Taliban who are now stronger than ever, but sure the Iranian regime would surrender in a week and let DJT pick its leader. What were these people thinking.

UK started fighting in WW1 in 1914 and in WW2 in Sep 1939

USA's war started in 1917 (because the German navy starting attacking their ships) and in December 1941 (because the Japanese bombed their bases)

Yes, we probably needed their help to win. But they did not come to help us.

Wasn't the point of the Welfare State to remove the insecurity?
I have never forgiven Osborne, not for the austerity itself, but for not *knowing* that most people don't have a relative/friend/bank manager to fall back on.

I saw this lovely painting in the National Gallery in London. Joseph Wright of Derby, Experiment with a Bird and an Airpump.
Admire my wonderful machine, everyone!

I found a lovely list of names on Wikipedia.
Astute, Ambush, Artful, Audacious, Anson and Agamemnon.
I'd hate to serve on a ship named after that last baastaard.
And who was Anson?

When I was 15, (in the 1970s) I learnt that the USA resolutely refused to fight with UK against Germany, and only came "to help" two years later when Japan bombed their naval base.
Fox News did not do O'level history.

Happy International Women's Day, everyone.
Just remember that in the USA a raped 13-year-old is a woman. A young woman, of course, but not a child
