That’s the NHS for you. It’s a burden we need not have had. The hugest cost the NHS faces by a country mile is aging population. All those 80+ year olds. Who's going to pay for that? The immigrants contribute more than they claim for a number of years after arrival. Yup another point avoided by another goalpost change by the same old Zany. Let’s use the Zany method to find the solution…how about “ someone will fix it “ ? |

Yes for the average simpleton it’s very clear cut . “Somebody will fix it “.No matter what’s put in front of them. Sorry I do not understand that sentence. That’s because the first part is true. |

History supports my point . 8 million here from the second and third world no significant increase in diseases from Africa. What's your evidence say? That’s the NHS for you. It’s a burden we need not have had. |

Which is very similar to your argument regarding the rush to change from ICE to EV vehicles. Er no. The reason for EV's is very clear cut. It is to reduce Co2 emissions which they will do. Yes for the average simpleton it’s very clear cut . “Somebody will fix it “.No matter what’s put in front of them. |

It doesnt take a genius to work out that mass immigration from third world countries brings a high risk of disease with it . History says not. History supports my point . |

No. This is the sleight of hand. The hidden assumption is the number of people is increased for both options. However, only one of the options is a policy of increasing the number of peopleIf you had fewer people, GDP could be lower, productivity higher and taxes lower. A lower number of people has to be considered for one option, because increasing the number of people is the other option.
Like i said - the total GDP is only really important for the public sector empire builders.You miss the aging population out of your calculations and that's the bit that matters. An ever growing percentage of the population that produce nothing and take most out. Are you thinking of making those pensioners return to work? If not you could try and increase production per working person in a number of ways, automation, AI, better working practices, even those lazy benefits claimants (Who are far fewer than the number you need) but so is every other country they are all competing with you in the same fight. You might increase the number of hours each able person must work, but that wont be any more popular than increasing tax. TBH, simply saying "If you had fewer people, GDP could be lower, productivity higher and taxes lower." is just John Luke Pichard saying 'make it so'
HOW? Which is very similar to your argument regarding the rush to change from ICE to EV vehicles. |

Just more race baiters vying to control the narrative and front every queue.

I predict the future of the UK is that of a very unhappy socialist state with a crumbling economy, and by the time of the election in 2029 Chairman Starmer will win another landslide victory because in five years time there wont be any opposition voters. Anyone who is right of centre will have been jailed, threatened with jail or silenced in some way. Any opposition to Chairman Starmer and his Stasi police will be a criminal offence, it will be like opposing Putin in Russia. Lets keep that red flag flying posters. Vote Labour. I suspect a leftie or two is getting a chubby over that . |

You may remember a few months ago it was reported that BASF the largest chemical company in the world was transferring much of it's production from Germany to China. BASF CEO Martin Brudermueller blamed the decision to relocate on the high cost of energy in Europe. It's a common complaint from "Industrial users" in Europe but not in China, Russia, India, the US, in fact anywhere else in the world. Let me tell you something, being virtuous will kill the economy and make people poorer which is why the aforementioned countries didn't bother with COP 29. There you see, its virtue making energy expensive, you knew all along. The last thing a country needs is Virtue. virtuous /ˈvəːtʃʊəs/ adjective having or showing high moral standards. Oh thanks! My virtue signalling meter went straight went to level ‘ sanctimonious’ and blew up. |

Here’s an idea. How about ignoring the net zero nuts and introducing net zero over a longer period .
It wouldn’t make much difference to the world’s CO2 and it would give us more time to build the infrastructure.
The only downside is that it would increase the amount of hot air from the cult of net zero members .

And how about new builds? It will be years before they need replacing? We managed it OK with fibre optic rollout. You just charge a premium to start with so the rich people who need the extra power pay a bit more, and then as you scale up the costs come down. Like Arthur Daly is famous for saying, one has to speculate to accumulate. Sitting on our arses complaining all day long is the way third world nations behave. They just bring out the begging bowl. What we need to do is get all the bullshit non-jobbers out on the roads with some fat cables and a digger. Tell them it will be a life-changing experience to do some real work. And there we have it . Net zero is piss easy . All we have to do is completely change society . |

All which cars. How many are "All these cars" I already said your sums are based on an endless cars queuing to charge. It wont happen like that. But I think its too new for you and you are unable to grasp the changes. Its like trying to describe a mobile phone society to someone whose used to telephone kiosks. Well a lot of words, but no actual answers to the practical problems. The fact is that in some areas there are long lines of queues at petrol stations - if you are going to replace ICE cars with EV's that you intend to recharge in 5 minutes then there are severe infrastructure issues that need to be overcome. Simply saying it will all be fine on the day is not a very sensible response to a serious issue.That and “ here’s one for £110k “sums up his entire repertoire of responses . |
