Hey Alex mate! Having a nice day?

I would say thereās a good chance that any opinions we may have about all of this are based on some very murky info.

War is bad is about all we can say.

You must not have heard me first time. Fuck off.
Is that supposed to be intimidating or something?Ā
Why not put me on ignore? or, if you have a disagreement, use your smarts to make a point why the video isnāt valid.

Iām not surprised youāre being hostile now.
ĀHe was right, and you lapped up all the cheap laughs at his expense.

Propaganda only happens in other countries though, right?

It's fair enough anyway.
I just canāt imagine the thought process that thinks going there is a good ideaā¦ unless youāre Ukrainian I guessā¦ (and even thenā¦.)

Just a heads up for any of you thinking of going and voluntarily getting involved in a war :freak:Ā

Thatās a great reminder of how life unfolds when youāre young. Just random events and scrapes and you just bounce along with it.

Interesting stuff, god only knows why the oil industry needs subsidies

we subsidise the fossil fuel industry. It takes investment to change the energy source. Heating homes for example is a very expensive transition - itās not as simple as switching energy supply. Old gas boilers have to be replaced etc.Ā
Making the switch will also affect livelihoods but that canāt be the argument for not making the transition because climate change will destroy far more - particularly in the global south. The transition will also create jobs and wealth but it requires investment and political will, which has been absent so far thanks to the influential fossil fuel lobbyists.Ā
Arenāt there subsidies for green energy too though?

Scotland produces about 90% of its electricity through renewables.
So does it export most of its North Sea oil or do they just not produce as much any more? -

Renewables are already the cheapest form of energy. Itās imperative we make the transition, itās also cost effective.Ā

Ā
So whatās the hold up?
Ā
Is it just a case of needing new infrastructure or are the other forces preventing it?
-
Iām sure that most of us would love it if the world could run on āfreeā clean energy.
Ā
Iāve heard that it actually takes a lot of rare earth materials and other less than āgreenā byproducts to make clean energy.
Ā
Nuclear is clean but not renewable and also vulnerable to all kinds of attacks/accidents.
Ā
On a related note, one thing that strikes me as odd is why electric cars donāt have removable batteries.
Ā
Waiting for an hour or two to charge a car is a pain in the arse.
Ā
Theoretically if they were limited to a few standard sizes you could just get the battery replaced at the station and carry on.
Ā
Presumably thereās a good reason why this canāt happen?

That's not what I was getting at - I know he can't do that. I'm saying that the spirit of his condolences to her that he couldn't do that, made clear that he would do everything he could do to help.
Ā
He can take in more than 50 Ukrainian refugees. I refuse to believe the country can't handle more than 50. I didn't give him a hard time over the no fly zone because I understand it, I fundamentally do not understand this - especially given what he has said. And from what you've said, you just be just as appalled as me - 10,000 applications and 50 taken. How can we justify that?
100% agree.
ĀItās such a low number that it has to be deliberate and so I guess the question is why?

Over 10,000 have applied to come. Just 50 visas have been granted. You donāt need to know much more than that to get an idea of how much our government actually wants to help.I agree itās too few.

Ā
Well that's that then - If 10,000 people have applied and 50 have made it, we cannot possibly claim that we are making good on our commitments. Our government has in fact lied to the people of Ukraine, and indeed the world, in claiming to do everything in its power to help. Boris Johnson was apparently unmoved by the tears of the Ukrainian journalist who begged him for a no fly zone to save people's lives, he did not take the spirit of his condolence and assurance that he would do everything possible forward into reality.
Ā
Imagine if it was any of us in that position ffs - you have to tell this woman that you can't help her countrymen, that they will die because action is too risky... and not only that, you then sign off on a policy that makes their attempts to be safe as difficult as possible - turning 10,000 desperate people away. I wouldn't be able to live with myself man. I wouldn't give a fuck whose decision it was by that point, I'd be right into Priti Patel's office demanding that she let people in or I'd go public about how difficult the home office was being. On the importance of moral leadership.
Ā
They just do not give a shit, seriously. And that's because, ultimately, they've been elected not to give a shit.
He canāt just say heāll enforce a no fly zone just because there is a woman crying in front of him (however understandably).Ā
That would just escalate everything.
Ā
I agree he shouldnāt make promises about doing everything he can if they wonāt let in proper numbers though.
