Isn't it about time for a few strikes on the very vulnerable crude oil pipelines? Or would that really piss off the Chinese?

To be fair, this headline would work even better if they dropped 'over Andy Burnham'
Sadly, control-freakery is built into the DNA of Labour. Witness their demand for total control over candidates for the Senedd, giving the voters no say in who is "elected". #PlaidCymru is the choice for the future

In many of the housing areas, ('streets'), there were communal parking areas near the entrance and then footpaths to the front doors. Local service hubs (shop, primary sch etc) every mile or less, larger hubs (supermarkets, secondary schools, doctor) in every township.
It's not rocket science.

No problem. Look to the south
1. Invade Brazil
2. Clear-fell the Amazon jungle
3. Build a few antibiotic factories
4. Grow cows
5. Make burgers
6. Char over a high heat to create more carcinogens
7. Eat
8. Die
So, some good points, some bad.

And, today's lesson (13/1/26) in our Cognitive Dissonance 101 module.
An example from a Guardian headline
"Trump says killers of protesters will ‘pay a big price’ and urges Iranians to ‘take over your institutions’"

Is it wrong to suggest that someone who bought a solid gold necklace, guaranteed 22ct, end-of-line special, honest guv,from a bloke on the market for £20 might have made an unwise decision?
Is it bullying to suggest that they read up on old proverbs about buying pigs in pokes?

"We must do what we conceive to be the right thing, and not bother our heads or burden our souls with whether we are going to be successful. Because if we don't do the right thing, we'll be doing the wrong thing, and we will just be part of the disease, and not a part of the cure."

The magic controller chips that were injected into us all with our covid vaccines circulate with the blood, so that means they can 'phone home' when they're circulating through the arms, legs and body. Have to block those too. We need tinfoil gimp-suit!

Just been reading A Game of Birds and Wolves about Royal Navy war-gaming for the Battle of the Atlantic against the U-boats. Main conclusion: the best and most effective U-boat commanders of WW2 were a small group of WRNS in Liverpool! An interesting angle on gender history.
