A local Labour pamphlet came through the door recently.It was interesting to read because it highlighted the disjointed thinking of Members of Parliament i.e. what they want is one thing but how things are going to be delivered are not mentioned.Admittedly it is only a front and back info sheet (see images below) yet I thought it worthy enough of doing a podcast episode about it.In this podcast episode I will question what is written on it, especially with regards to:* Housing* Energy* Social Disorder* Job CreationI also mention podcast episodes with John Carter and Frank Wright.

EnergyYesterday was a very dark day for UK Energy Policy.The UK now no longer produces electricity from coal power, ending a 142 year relationship.ArticleA blast furnace in Port Talbot (South Wales) has also closed its doors as of 16:00 on Monday 30th September 2024. A loss of 2,800 jobs is bad enough but, as Doomberg mentioned, it is what is happening to the area afterwards that is truly damning.ArticleIf you have not already listened to the podcast with Doomberg then I highly recommend that you do so.I also wrote about standing charges in this article.ChickensToday is also a very sad day because if you own chickens then you have to now register them with the UK Government. Of course, this is all in the name of protecting the chickens from bird flu!!!This will give you an idea of what was proposed and is now a law.The Government is encroaching on our private lives as much as possible and this really is turning into a very sad country.Our energy policy is designed to make us much poorer and now the government wants to know who owns what poultry.Maybe we really are turning into the United Soviet States of Britain (USSB)SPECIAL OFFERAs a massive thank you to you and for your early and continued support of the Substack + Podcast, it is a pleasure to offer you 50% off of ALL monthly and annual subscriptions FOR LIFE.
