General Discussion
Just been outside, absolutely freezing cold. Met Office says it will feel like -6C tonight. Shame global warming never took off.
Merry Christmas All.
Well that was a quick response from our MP and on a Sunday too. Kudos for that. He raises a valid point, how else could a national broadcaster with no adverts be paid for? If the BBC was a subscription based service, perhaps that would be fairer. However, it would most likely result in the BBC receiving less revenue and therefore it's ability serve the people who do watch it. Maybe the ...
Response from our MP Martin Wrigley. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Paul, Thanks for the email. You raise an interesting point. It does appear harsh.

This 'climate crisis' nonsense is a war on normal people. I will stop eating meat and dairy. Will have to buy food from expensive local shops. The government is hell bent on taking everything from us. Eventually we'll have nothing left to take. LABOUR GOVERNMENT = ABSOLUTE MISERY.

I'm going to carefully check all I buy now. I don't trust any government or the like. We all know of countless mistakes, scandals, cover ups, etc. (The climate changes, everything changes, that's accepted. What is not accepted is the 'climate crisis' that is 100% scam)
