A Scottish actor. Expect drama in the castle

We were promised a farming tenancy inheritance story last year/earlier this year and I wondered which main character they'd kill off to achieve that. Turns out they invented a new one which is quite a relief TBH #TheArchers

But the traitors have all the information. I think it's much harder to be a faithful and get to the end and win

Yes, needs more investment and R&D

One practical reason, aside from all the geopolitical ones, is that we need to solve the problem of transmitting the power from the point of generation to the point of use. AFAIK that's still tricky, but I'd be happy to be corrected

Because she knows that broken promises on tax rises will go down as well as broken promises on student fees

It took 14 years for the electorate to forgive the LibDems over breaking the student fees promise.

The DOGE language is unnecessary but I'm quite pleased they're getting £ back from the PPE companies that took the £ and failed to deliver

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re societies that have collapsed, Jared Diamond's book Collapse is worth a read. Various reasons for collapse but willfully ignoring the warning signals features strongly

So the logical next step is that it's the other Big Dog, but I doubt they'll get there

Yes, I agree. The pensioners have caught up and the triple lock needs to be adjusted. Thought that's what I said?

They started from a dreadfully low place. Now, arguably, they are in a good place and the triple lock could be relaxed slightly. But remember, low income pensioners cannot do much to improve their lot.

Sort of. I was thinking that if Joe Bloggs was supplying the power (from his domestic supply) & only his household could use it then he'd want access outside his house. I guess I'm not clear who'd be powering these pavement chargers - publicly available power or private domestic supply

This argument: "If the cable running through that ground channel has come from my house then I'm buffered if anyone else gets to park outside my house when I need to use it"
will cause wars between neighbours where parking capacity is already inadequate

The Beastie Boys have a lot to answer for

Yes, there wasn't much of a secret about it

We put the hand brake on in 2016 and haven't released it since

What's the threshold for triggering this new measure? 2 protests within 5 years? 3 protests within 6 months? Or just 2 protests?

We in the UK were 'european taxpayers' too. He was using our money.

That'd be why he's on Strictly - to raise his profile

Or get a driver

Oooph. 'white people'? All white people?

Labour wrecked the economy?

Sorry, I think you arrived there a while ago

If they reapply for their visa and are successful then they can stay. Surely overstaying your visa is illegal?

My partner had a cat who'd chase a paper ball down the stairs, as long as I looked interested. If I kept throwing the paper up the stairs she'd chase it down. The minute I started to read a book while she was chasing the paper she'd stop. I'm sure she was only playing the game for my benefit.

Need to be a bit careful here. If you incentivise giving all your ££ away then you need to consider how to fund social care /care homes. Older people can burn thru ££ if they have to go into a care home. If they've given all their money away that responsibility will return to the state

The secret is in the word Trickle.
