This is the type of efficiency the civil service needs. Why hire five people when one can do it themselves?!

- Comment on UK to deploy fighter jets to protect Saudi Arabia from Houthi attacks 3 days ago:
I wonder if we’re doing this for free or if Burnham and Streeting managed to get some concessions from them?
- Comment on The Canary news website announces closure after ‘vicious campaign against us’ 3 days ago:
I assumed they were around a lot longer than 2015. So they were basically set up as a vehicle for Jeremy Corbyn?

I think she thinks they must have psychic powers that could help against Putin’s dark divison. Been watching too much sci fi.

- Comment on Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests 5 days ago:
No I mean not tender for private contracts to do this. Actually do this in a nationalised way.
Setup a department, NIS (the afore mentioned National Insulation Service), with the motto warmth at the point of use, build a workforce that goes town by town coldest to hottest parts of the country and adds the required missing insulation to however many homes need it starting with low income homes.
Everyone is so keen on nationalising everything so why not kickstart this and do some good. I say the same thing about home building. Set up a government home building project entirely run by government employees funded by the state. I can understand how there would be NIMBY protectionism against that (can’t build that here you’ll lower the value of my mansion) but who would argue against insulation?
- Comment on Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests 5 days ago:
Why is it difficult for the government to forcefully hire an army of insulators and go around the country top to bottom and insulate the crap out of homes?
If you’re desperate to nationalise something, nationalise that.

- Comment on Trans women no longer to be placed on female-only wards under new NHS England guidance 1 week ago:
but leaves individual healthcare professionals unclear on how to safely look after trans patients
How is this difficult or unclear? Just care for people as people. Why do you need guidance to tell you to do that?
- Comment on Emirati royal passed out on street with child, 3, after cocaine binge 1 week ago:
She was fined a lot of money and no doubt she’ll be ostracised from her community… 🤣🤣 Who am I kidding. She was fined less than a month’s worth of her £8000 allowance and given a slight telling off.
If you’re wealthy… do what the fuck you like.

Dya know what… I’ll be sad to see Keir go. I thought he brought a level of competency and verve to the position of PM in a way that only the son of a tool maker and a nurse could.

Let alone that he took a live round of ammunition to Heathrow.

- Comment on Greens’ ‘Zionism is racism’ worse than anything under Corbyn, antisemitism tsar warns 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think anyone here is going to object to calling Zionism racism. But is it possible, at all, for the Greens to be a little more… you know… politically savvy about this?
I reckon the leadership of the Greens is fuming their arses off. On the one hand it’s what the members voted on at the conference. On the other hand it’s like handing a grenade to everyone to blow them up with. It plays directly into the victim complex the right wing Israeli politicians have allowing them to justify their campaign of genocide. It also gives the party yet another media mess to manage.
Just a little bit amateurish for not a lot of gains.
- Comment on Britain’s second richest person leaves UK for Monaco 2 weeks ago:
Earlier this year Gary Linekar and over 100 other British millionaires asked prime minister Andy Burnham to increase their wealth tax as they can “afford it”.
Yes the government should increase their wealth tax, no questions about that…
But Millionaires And Co. could also start a fund and plough their wealth into that. They probably have access to top notch accountants that could maximise the value of this fund. They don’t need to wait for the government to do it for them. Just do it!

- Comment on MPs recommend BBC charter renewal is scrapped and licence fee is extended beyond TV 3 weeks ago:
I don’t like paying the licence fee because in a whole year I barely watch two shows on the BBC. However I carnivorously munch my way through their podcasts and have fond memories of watching BBC content as a child so I pay the fee each year.
If they start limiting more and more the content and podcast radio services, well… that would be a shame. I will cancel my payments.
