@OffGuardian0 But the farmers can't make a living growing crops but they can by renting field out.

There's no reason "Solar Farms" have to be built in the countryside. You could roof multistorey carparks with solar panels, or pave the tops of office buildings. Converting farm land to solar panels is just as much about destroying food security as it is generating power.

@Bbmorg Brize Norton is a base for transport aircraft dealing with both cargo and passengers. If it moved to Cyprus where would they be transporting stuff to?

Italian man racing to reach his pregnant wife is blocked by climate activists glued to the road. He pleads with them to move. They refuse. So he drives through. Was he justified — YES or NO?

@Jenny_1884 If we had a decently funded system managed by a decent Government system, there would be no need for any charity.

@Missy_Ports @MartinSLewis Until you take possession of the item the contract is binding between the company and carrier. It's their responsibility.

Why do companies keep using Evri to deliver parcels when they go missing? No refund from the company whilst the parcel is lost. How is it fair, when I paid money for a product & it's lost. Surely it's the companies responsibility to make sure its delivered? @MartinSLewis

For the amount of fucking money that train journeys cost in the UK, I really don't think it's too much to ask/expect for them to run on time. Why have we, as a nation, just collectively accepted the contrary?

@Bobbofitz Demand for non- Hormuz oil has risen as a result thereby other countries prepared to pay a higher price than us to get it....so we have to pay more also if we want it. Supply and demand.

@GMB Would be better if the Government funded improvements at home as opposed to pouring money into foreign aid. Look after us first.

Butlin's CEO says that plans for a "tourist tax" could make holidays unaffordable, while the government claims it could raise money for better transport and infrastructure. Should tourists be targeted with a £2 per night tax?
