I honestly am lost for words here - it's completely bizarre when someone continues to argue from a matter of opinion which is completely at odds with observable reality. Observable reality demands and requires that if something is done completely within the letter of the rules and the law, then...

Incorrect. Labour screamed at Tory for the "evidenced" corruption not "alleged" corruption. There is a fundamental difference when evidence is available versus what is happening in the bent right wing press with condemning nothing other than behaviour falling entirely within the rules and law...

My statements are not incorrect. Did you not realise that Party Politics in the UK is funded entirely through donations? Did you not realise that gifts to politicians are totally legal and above board and within rules and legislation? And which part of Starmer condemning CORRUPTION (not...

Are you sure you're correct about that total being since the election? Or are you misquoting the total from his last 4 years whilst in opposition? If you were right about the TOTAL being since the election, why are you totalling up individual gifts from many sources to then classify them as a...

I'm not tribal. I'm just anti-bias and wherever I see it (right here for instance) I call it out. With conviction of facts behind me. Regarding Alli and the pass for Downing St. First, it isn't as if he's an outsider or a lobbyist (or from a thinly disguised lobby group masquerading as a...

Thanks for the great responses I now have a similar question about Acacia. How to treat that, and is it an outdoor candidate? Also, where can I find info about the classes of wood that were mentioned?

Oh dear oh dear. I thought we'd already covered the part where the gifts in question were over the period of 4 years and prior to the election... and yet you still say "since becoming PM". It's absurd to level any accusations of wrongdoing. I understand that you believe the donors want...

No, just NO. No they categorically did not. You're absolutely wrong on this one (and you do probably know it). Don't conflate taking gifts with "corruption". It's a totally different discussion. If simple gifts were actually what you were worried about, you'd've been up in arms many, many...

LOL Good discussion point - - samurai swords are produced for one reason, as a weapon with which to kill - whereas cars are made for one reason as a mode of personal transportation, designed to travel at any arbitrary speed. - should we ban table saws/band saws, or limit the blade speed, etc...

Quick cursory check in the past 10 mins has confirmed to me that commitments to being "green", "greener", "combat climate change", and "net zero" appear in all of the pre-election (winning party) manifestos back to at least 2010...

Agreed. Except, of course, that "speeding" per se, harms nobody. The thing about having a strong opinion about ICE being banned, as an "authoritarian" evil, is verging on the silly - since we'll still have cars and personal freedom to travel. The motive force for said cars will just be...

Thanks Just did a bit of rudimentary searching. Of course the main source of today's "news" on EV and diesel cars is the Telegraph, so I'll take that with a pinch of salt... What I've quickly deduced is that it is a very very muddy situation, with regular fluctuations month by month over the...

Hello experts I have an outdoor table in maple wood that was untreated when it arrived this year. I used a couple of coats of Cuprinol Ultimate Furniture Oil, because that's what I use on my teak outdoor furniture (same table and chairs for over 15 years, so seems to do a job!), and it's what I...

I haven't seen the numbers, did the news article say whether EV sales were down from previous with a recent increase in diesel sales, or is it just that diesel sales have kept steady and EVs, although still increasing in sales just haven't caught up with diesel yet?

The gifts thing is an entirely different conversation to the term "hoped we might see something better". Following the rules = better. Not following the rules = what happened before.

Nope, and Nope. It's really important to get the fact straight if they are to be the basis of one's viewpoint. Firstly, you only know about this because he entered everything into the record of interests. All of it was within the rules. There is categorically no evidence or implication of...

My first question would be: how do you know about Starmer accepting gifts? Second would be: what is your understanding of when these gifts were accepted and over what time frame? If you can answer those without reference to any source of "info" then we can delve into your viewpoint a bit further.

It would appear to me that the momentum of developed nations to jump onto the industry of developing and deploying renewables has got to a point on the fulcrum that possibly points toward an overall cheaper energy production ecosystem. Whether that was an "authoritarian" step, or not, by...

I've no idea where those numbers lie, relatively speaking, compared to other vacs, although mine is specified at 42L/s flow rate, even though it's a 1000W motor... So on that single metric your bargain vac outflows mine by circa 25%. I liked the Evolution one for it's power pass-through...

And therein lies the rub. Making the Brexit vote a worse offender, in my view, compared to a multi-option vote. Just an observation and not a criticism, since I didn't vote in Brexit - I knew we were disadvantaged either which way - it was the fact that we were "given" a vote that set us on a...
