An EV revolution has to be customer-led, apparently, but customers won't instigate it with poor infrastructure.

Typical weasel politics.
As always, it comes down to everyone wanting everyone else to shoulder the cost of building that infrastructure. Now that automakers can piggyback off Tesla's established charging network here in the US, they're suddenly Really Very Serious™ about ramping up EV production.
 
Russell Brand genuinely believes that he stands accused of being a total dick because of his 'non-mainstream' views.

It doesn't seem to occur to Brand that he has become a conspiracy theorist whackjob because he is a total dick.
 
Just ban 20mph speed limits and let Range Rovers use residential streets as rat runs, that'll solve the problem.
 
The usual false promises from people desperate to cling on to the greasy trunk of the neverending public money tree.
 
I think hosting the Tory conference in Manchester to announce the cancellation of HS2 to Manchester is absolutely the work of a double agent.

You're confusing the conservative party with rational behaviour.

I don't think there was ever a huge amount of public support for the Birmingham - Manchester leg anyway as a lot of people just see the whole HS2 scheme as a waste of money that could be used elsewhere to better effect. To what amounts to admiting that at the conference in Manchester is just admiting that they're a bunch of ****ups who couldn't organise a piss-up during a pandemic lockdown in a brewery.
 


Anyone who still doesn't believe that the Tories are going full Trump needs to wake up...

"Make Britain Grow Again" :ouch:

"Axe the Tax" :ouch: :ouch:

"Stop the Boats!" :ouch: :ouch: :ouch:

Idiotic.

No don't stop the boats let them all in, it will bring wealth and prosperity, have they not seen how prosperous Sweden has become?:D

What has that got to do with an incompetent government who wrecked our economy...? By all means, load up on the anti-immigration points like it'll be the deciding issue for voters, though.

The Tories know they will lose the next election, so Sunak is being used to push through all of the unpopular stuff that they have been planning/wanting to do but didn't want to earlier, but now they have nothing to lose by throwing Sunak under a high speed train. The fact that he is to announce this in Manchester is the cherry on the top.

You'd think she's the one person who wouldn't want more lettuce in this country

Celebrating the recent brutal attacks on Israel isn't enough for you? there's immigration and immigration. I won't say a thing about asians in my country, they are peaceful and you barely notice them because they don't cause any trouble, same cannot be said about others, mainly people whose culture revolves around a "prophet" who had an actual military career, enslaved people and married a literal child. You think it's bad now but what might come could be far worse.

Oh, I see, you're a complete bigot who thinks all Muslim immigrants are terrorists or terrorist supporters and wants us to renege on our agreements to admit refugees for ideological reasons? There's immigration and there's "Stop the boats!".

Fash harder, Suella, I'm sure it'll bring in the votes.

I think it's much better to focus more on the Far-Right at this moment in time than Islam (at least in the UK).

You've also got to make a distinction between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism/extremism.

Just look at what Christian fundamentalists are doing in America (although we don't seem to be as at risk to their influences, it's more just a general right-wing problem here). Would you be against more Christians migrating to the US?

Also, who do you class as "Asians"?

Someone I know was delivering leaflets for the Conservatives for the elections a few months back (he worked for a leafleting company).

They were given a map and told not to focus on the rows and rows of houses on the main streets but instead, the marked priority area was a sparse industrial estate....

As a legal system, the Sharia law is exceptionally broad. While other legal codes regulate public behavior, Sharia regulates public behavior, private behavior, and even private beliefs. Compared to other legal codes, the Sharia law also prioritizes punishment over rehabilitation and favors corporal and capital punishments over incarceration. Of all legal systems in the world today, the Sharia law is the most intrusive and restrictive, especially against women. According to the Sharia law (see the links for details):

• Theft is punishable by amputation of the hands (Quran 5:38).
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing Muhammad or denying that he is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Allah is punishable by death (see Allah moon god).
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death (See Compulsion).
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A woman or girl who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• Testimonies of 4 male witnesses are required to prove rape of a female (Quran 24:13).
• A woman or girl who alleges rape without producing 4 male witnesses is guilty of adultery.
• A woman or girl found guilty of adultery is punishable by death (see "Islamophobia").
• A male convicted of rape can have his conviction dismissed by marrying his victim.
• Muslim men have sexual rights to any woman/girl not wearing the Hijab (see Taharrush).
• A woman can have 1 husband, who can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad can have more.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
• Girls' clitoris should be cut (Muhammad's words, Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination (see Quran 4:34 and Religion of Peace).
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife; a wife needs her husband's consent to divorce.
• A divorced wife loses custody of all children over 6 years of age or when they exceed it.
• A woman's testimony in court, allowed in property cases, carries ½ the weight of a man's.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits (see Mathematics in Quran).
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
• Meat to eat must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah - i.e., be "Halal."
• Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.









So am I a bigot or are you perhaps just ignorant? If you need more let me know, there's no shortage of news like these.
Oh and btw this is what happens in countries like UAE and Saudi Arabia, it's far worse in others like Iran, Sudan, Kuwait, Iraq, Pakistan and the list goes on.
