I don’t know why I am chuckling at this thread but I am - I can also see a comment some time in the hopefully far future when someone says ‘you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off’

Politics, SciFi, #YNWA, nature and climate - will try not to rant too much but sometimes it’s very hard

10.11.2025 14:07 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0There is broad consensus on tax reform across the spectrum.
A more interesting question therefore is why doesn't it happen?
The answer is that the transition is highly complex and fraught with risk.
So that's where the energy is needed: mapping out a politically viable transition....
#PaulJohnson with a very sensible set of proposed tax reforms in #theTimes. Won’t happen of course. I can partly understand decisions by politicians not to move forward on this basis. But have never understood why the Treasury brain does not. All are logical and all should already be in place

Her mango & papaya trees were lost, by 180mph/290kph winds.
But her roof was intact, so were the solar panels. Most neighbors didn’t have electricity. She did.
Next day "sun was shining we had our power back.”

BBC News is a news organisation. It is there to do proper news not "represent the views of its viewers" - as funneled through right wing press/social media. If the next DG understands that it will be in a far better place.

09.11.2025 18:11 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Chiesa and Jones should have started
09.11.2025 18:09 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Would have been nice to protect the goal difference - down to 8th now

09.11.2025 18:07 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Well - didn’t expect to retain league but top 4 would be good. Do worry about Slot’s decision making on subs. Fresh legs at half time would have made a big difference in midfield and helped with control
09.11.2025 18:06 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The left side was looking pretty secure - oh well #LFC
09.11.2025 17:50 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Suspect he will bring on Gakpo for Wirtz when the lad is one of our bright spots. When he should bring Chiesa on for Mo and Jones for Macca #LFC

09.11.2025 17:25 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I would have refreshed the team today. Probably Jones for Macca and yes, Chiesa for Mo. One would have brought energy and one control
