Edstone fail

No surprise that people living in the more rural parts of England and Scotland are not going for electric vehicles. Getting to chargers, the lack of range and the sheer cost of buying EVs are major factors. Also worries about reliability.

A dearth of truth

The Green party, led by a bloke with a history as a con-merchant who claimed women can increase the size of their boobs just by thinking about it, is being accused of trying to bamboozle the voters in nearby Gorton & Denton with bogus data and fake endorsements.

He must be dizzy now

24th U-turn for the Prime Fantasist – all those local elections he tried to cancel to save Labour face are back on again. A swift challenge by Reform UK, the expected big gainer, left the government’s lawyers realizing that the cancellation was probably illegal.

Metalflation

Corb limey! Back when The Sweeney was first on TV (1975), Kurger Rands containing an ounce of gold were a mere 96 quid apiece. What’s gold per ounce now? $5,000!!!

Bought and paid for

The government has put a halt to requiring public bodies to record the amount of time lost to letting staff work part-time, or even full-time, for a trade union, and how much it costs us.
    The taxpayer was done for £19 million last year. £29 million this year now that there’s no scrutiny?
    Meanwhile, the Squeaker of the Commons is trying to be secretive about the amount of our cash he blows on his globe-trotting. Entitlement Rulz, Nokay!

Just a thought . . .

Are they going to find some way to blame the suspicious death in prison of the much talked about J. Epstein on agents of Put’n the Poisoner? It would certainly give the conspiracy theorists something else to go on about.
    Was he killed to prevent him from revealing details of money-laundering he was doing for Put’nstan and the intelligence data he was passing on? As part of a get out of gaol early deal?
    Whatever, it adds to the questions about the part the dodgy staff at the New York detention centre played in the ishue. An assassin disguised as an inmate allowed to swan about there? Who knows!

Big slip-up

It’s very strange that GenZ girls are going to into meltdown at showings of the newly released pastiche of E. Bronte’s classic Wuthering Heights because it doesn’t have a happy ending after all the gratuitous bonking. No trip to Mr. Internet to seek trigger warnings and a plot summary?
