They are promoted because they think people are interested.
And a hell of a lot of them are!

Both Man Utd and West Ham won in Europe last night with teenagers in the side.
A seventeen year old scored for City on Wednesday.
Okay this is Scunthorpe, not Manchester. But it’s also the National League not Europe.
Not saying it’s the answer, but worth considering.

“The only reason I have reacted angrily is because you speak to others as if they’re beneath you.”
Same as it ever was!
I have said on many occasions that Bucks actually does raise some pertinent points which are worthy of discussion.
However, as Siderite says, it is not easy to debate the topic for the reasons he gives.
C’mon Bucks, you’ve a lot to say, but why resort to whataboutery, gaslighting and straw-manning?

Was at the previous drawn game at SJP.
Bet none of those kids got lifetime bans for running on the pitch either!
Great days when the FA Cup meant something.

Still job vacancies being advertised on the OWS.
Baffling!

No, haven’t you heard, he doesn’t exist.
Neither does racism if you believe some on here!

Hope they’re okay.

“Certain people on here claim to care about the poor and needy while ridiculing comments from anyone who doesn’t fit what they believe to be an acceptable political profile”
Now who does that sound like a description of? 🤔

Correct Deerey.
We have no gas in our village so our house has electric night storage heaters.
Just before Covid we’d looked at updating to a Fischer system. To do that we’d have had to go on a flat rate tariff. We decided against it and stuck with what we had on an E10 tariff (7hrs cheaper rate overnight and 3hrs in the afternoon).
Glad we did as although our daytime unit rate has gone up by 25% the nighttime price has dropped by 20%.
So it will cost us less to run the heaters this winter than last, and we can put the dishwasher and washing machine on timer overnight too.
That’s why the government figure of £2,500 cap on annual use is a complete red herring. It’s all about unit price and usage. You could quite easily exceed £2,500 (Mrs NI has an electric kiln!).
Capping won’t make any difference. You either use power or you don’t. Nor will cash handouts or six month discounts. Sure they’ll help out short term, but long term the only realistic way of making it affordable to all is to keep the unit price low.
The reason my provider gave for the increase was that wholesale prices had risen, even on renewables. This begs the question, are producers holding the consumers to ransom like in the plot of “Total Recall”? Are companies more interested in profits and dividends for their shareholders than providing essential services to the public?
I don’t know, but I do know that the problem won’t be solved by giving every household £400 over six months. As welcome as it is it doesn’t address the real issues.
I think 50p a chip is probably what they cost these days!

“You will own nothing and you will be happy”
And I refer you back to my post on the cashless society thread. Isn’t this what your Jesus preached?
Matthew 6: “You cannot serve God and Mammon!”
Why so obsessed with money and belongings?
And still obsessed with Covid too, I see.
