I’ve talked to so many fucking idiots about this that don’t get it.

Look roads are for cars and we all did a driving test and we know how fast is safe. Numbers don’t mean anything.

I should be able to drive 60 down a residential if I think I can. If some kid gets run over then that’s their fault and their parents. Roads are for cars. What you expect me to slow down and be late for work? I was already late when I left and this is going to add minutes to my journey people just don’t think.

I know I’m a good driver, I’ve only ever got points for speeding and for drunk driving (but I was still driving well). There some fucking idiots on the road I agree but we shouldn’t all be punished. We need more roads so we can go faster that’s the real issue.

Depressing!? Don’t do my man Weber like that.

Yea I know there is a lot of money to be made in a job that does that.

It’s stupid I agree. But I don’t see how it requires government intervention.

Yea that’s fucked. But they do need some data to judge demand.

Issues with monopolies and price controls should absolutely be addressed.

But supply and demand of in demand tickets where people are choosing to pay for non vital entertainment. Paying market prices doesn’t seem an issue.

Some venues you can’t even buy a ticket because it’s all owned by corporations that give them out to mates or business interests. That’s more of a concern.

Tbf there is some differences in quality between them. Some work exactly as you want and others are annoying because they don’t do what you expect. When they work I find them a dream.

I don’t smoke mate.

Sounds like you hate lack of knobs rather than induction. Just get one with knobs.

Induction works when you spill water on it, I’ve done it.

Instant heat. Excellent all over heat transfer. Doesn’t heat the room. No cancer causing pollution. Good for the environment. Specific heat control where you can set power and even temperature. Easy to clean.

It’s even so that the word heat pump only is used for the air-water units, not the air-air ones, those are called airconditioners.

The names and tech all overlap and it gets messy. But you can certainly buy an ac unit that doesn’t heat. Hence why I specified heat pump, it is a heat pump.

Oh yea. I’ve been in houses (outside the UK). Had heat pump water tank and an air to air heating (and ac) system for the house.

I’ve always wondered if you could have an air to water system that fills the tank for the taps and then heats the radiators. But also have supplementary heating air to air. Maybe a big one downstairs in the hallway or in the main room of the house.

But with the UK it always comes back to having the worst insulation in the world. Fix that and we wouldn’t even be discussing heating systems.

It’s probably always cheaper. The government is pushing for air to water. There are no subsidies for air to air which I think is a better way to heat a home.

There an element of personal freedom which people find important.

Yes, yes there is.

I think most of those retrofits aren’t cheap because the pipes and radiators aren’t big enough for the colder water. So it ends up needing a whole now install anyway.

Air to air heat pumps are amazing. I’m completely converted, they are fair superior to gas.

But why the UK is pushing do hard for air to water is a mystery to me. Seems like betting on old inferior technology.

Also I don’t get why they aren’t pushing for a induction also conversion and disconnecting the gas line to the house entirely. Induction is magic, that is a way superior technology to gas cooking.

I never realised how much people want to be controlled by the government when I was younger.

This is fucked.

“But the government wants to ban something I don’t like! That’s good. They should stop others doing things I don’t like!”

Denmark caused the collapse of the far right once the left adopted immigration polices most people want.

The choice is up to the left in regards to the future of Europe.

I dream of a future with really good social security nets, great climate policy, cheap housing, high taxes on the rich, and more proportional representation.

But the main issue right now is immigration. If the far right is the only one to solve that. Then people in Europe feel their hands are tied. The left is so god damn stupid.

Left wing video “There are no issues with immigration”

In the news “IS claims responsibility for knife attack”

Then goes onto what the right really mean based on his views alone.

It’s not all about money. It’s not about businesses getting rich and house prices going up.

The left lie and change the narrative this issue isn’t “immigration under any situation” as the left try to make out it is the “immigration as is”

No one in Europe is arguing about Swedes or Germans moving into their country. No one has issues with second or third generation Australian gangs.

Immigration when done well is good. But the biggest issue in Europe is immigration both legal and illegal.

I really enjoyed the summer this year. I thought it was far sunnier most of my summers. Really been enjoying the clear blue sky’s and few rainy days. Went for a hike the other day and got sun burnt though. I mean I live in NZ now but the past few months have been a better summer than a normal UK one.

The value of higher education comes from things like higher taxes and lower crime.

Trying to run a university like a business is fucking stupid.

Universities could cost the government a shit load of money for all I care. But losing British education in the name of foreign money is the exact case of short term thinking that has made this country as crap as it is.

If you want to think of some 50 year plan. It should be about educating more British students to do roles that are required. Not about bringing in foreign students to make a short term buck.
