My fuel bills include an element to enable fuel companies to invest in green technology: some of MY ยฃยฃยฃ is developing green energy.
So I should benefit from annual dividends from the fuel companies in which my money has been invested.
Agreed?

Is inciting murder not a criminal offense in USA?

Forget SNP, English independence is what we should be promoting.

Windsor lot have powerfully demonstrated a peasant can become queen overnight.
They've now followed up by demonstrating how a prince can be a peasant overnight.
So the "inner circle" leaks both directions, suggesting it's possible any of them could be out any day now. The magic is gone. Screwed

When (why) did we start talking about 'veterans'?
These newspaper editors, are they believing that unarmed innocent individuals were justifiably shot dead, or do they have evidence that sources other than the Paras did it?
Or they don't give a shit?

Seems daft.
Greens are rising, Corbyn hasn't fixed on a name yet.

I studied economics for a while
I don't understand how Trump believes countries have paid USA billions of dollars in tariffs: if USA imposes tariffs on (eg) Scottish gin, it's the buyers in the USA who pay the tarrifs, not Scotland.
Surely.

Dear Mr Swinney, could you arrange for English Independence to be a leading factor in all future SNP policies and promotions?

Hitchens is surprisingly behind the times. I've been advocating English Independence for at least 2 years.
Hurry up.

It would be interesting to know what % of the voting population of Scotland are Scots-born, and what % are "immigrants".
My guess (worth nothing of course) is that 20% will be English & 3% "other".

I think we might as well give up on Scottish independence.
Better to campaign for English independence, I'm sure that could catch on real fast.

I don't KNOW, but I suspect Baddenoch is telling porkies here. Mr. Secret Barrister, is there no law against politicians telling blatant lies, creating a culture of misunderstanding in our community?

But if the company is financially bust, what happens next?
And does this court finding mean she can be chucked out of House of Lords?
