The very idea that we ‘desperately need more homes’ is wrong. Fixing the broken rental market is what the government should be focusing its efforts on rather than being the lap dog of the housing lobby

I’m growing 3 different chicory this year. Not even sure I like it. I have sugarloaf (I think) for pick and come again and a red one (it’s bitter!). I need to find more recipes for that as other wise it just gets left as ground cover and a forcing type for the first time just cos it sounds like fun!

The ‘bloody’ pheasant will eat it if it’s desperate enough

Radicchio = chicory ?

Fair point. What I’m really concerned about is buttering the toast. I don’t think you’ll find that in the batting manual!

I don’t think it’s that odd. Cold, day old pizza is a Saturday morning staple

IMO It’s an intentional stance to appeal to right leaning voters. Crazy strategy that will bite them on the arse

😂😂😂 really good political conference speeches are defined by the party leader giving a speech and being booed of stage aren’t they.

High time. There is easy enough housing in this country already it’s just that it’s far too easy to buy and rent out properties

I’d really like to see one, never have. My girlfriend has, I’d never heard of them until she told me about seeing this bird run up a tree. Im a bit jealous

Phil O’Sophical @phil0sophicai.bsky.social · 6d

Well that’s to be applauded then

There are some really bad consequences of tidal, hydro and nuclear unfortunately from an environmental perspective and mankind needs an environment to live in. There are no simple golden bullet answers to this problem

If the production of carbon based fuel had to bear the cost of the damage it did then it would be more than possible (I hope) to produce economically viable ‘ethical’ green energy

Not wanting to sound like a heartless bastard, although obviously I’m now at risk of doing just that I feel that green energy is vital - the alternative is not an alternative, but I totally agree it shouldn’t be sourced in the way you describe. The Congo’s history is grim enough already

Already detecting a change in the language used at the conference to make themselves sound more progressive so I think they are worried

Phil O’Sophical @phil0sophicai.bsky.social · 11d

I suspect what they mean by environmentally is what happens to the location afterwards, although often there are lots of promises made and not kept in this regard - just look at that open cast coal mine in wales for a recent example
