Would imagine we're going to see a lot of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning too from dodgy heaters. Probably also an uptick in house fires.

Are any organisations of any standing even countenancing the merits of some sort of bill-paying strike? Seems like the only workable solution, albeit one that’s pretty much impossible to organise on the scale required for success, given the state of mass politics in this country. e: lol a timely case in point for how far off this sort of thing is in the Labour Party these days – https://twitter.com/jrc1921/status/1509810105147133952 Answers Me fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Apr 1, 2022 |

There's enough money washing around in this country that people shouldn't be choosing between turning the lights on and eating for the sake of a few quid. It's disgusting. Tax some rich clowns up the wazoo, people like Sunak for instance.

In an exciting push to reduce gas usage and transition to a green energy future, SSE have teamed up with britbox to offer free rides on the generation game dodgems to the first fifty customers who cut their heating usage by ninety percent this February. Offer not open to those with NRPF.

The April Fools bit was where the theme park for the elderly was only limited to a small area in Kent, rather than the current situation where it spans the entire country.

Better that than building a new boat I guess, but I'd rather the boat gets sold & the money goes to the exchequer to fund vital services. So it is obviously an April Fool's gag because it's half-way to a decent idea from this government.

I enjoy reading her stuff. She makes the point that the economy is fertilised by the ashes of the poor and i agree, but the problem is that A) The Tories know this and it's part of the plan. B) A large proportion of the voting population know AND agree. I always remember that QT where JC mentioned the poorest in society get hit by climate and the audience... loving groaned. I think about that moment a lot recently. poo poo's bleak

So it is obviously an April Fool's gag because it's half-way to a decent idea from this government. If they're talking about the Phi, the one they seized from South Quay (NOT CANARY WHARF FUCKS SAKE) it's nowhere near big enough. The point of the Britannia wasn't just that it was somewhere for Her Maj to work on her tan, it was effectively an entire diplomatic mission and so could accommodate 200 or more staff (including a Royal Marine band), visiting dignitaries and their staff, as well as the royal household itself. The Britannia's closer in size (and construction) to a mid-sized warship than one of these little fibreglass gin palaces.
