It was the bastards who are currently in power with their draconian fascist anti protest/freedom laws. Heavily influenced and lobbied by the ridiculously powerful oil companies.

yeah, and not going to because public opinion....well public opinion where it seems to count anyway...JSO did a good job of pissing a lot of people off...and just wait till Reform gets in and net zero policies get binned altogether.

Of course it isn’t a “free lunch”. But neither is “dirty energy”. However, if we’re to have half a chance of survival, then it’s necessary 

I think the point is Labour were saying it would reduce bills, but infact it looks like it will do the opposite, at least in the short term. it will be another reason for reform/Tories to argue for ditching net zero at next election.

‘Climateflation’ could push up UK food prices by more than a third by 2050, report says | Food & drink industry | The Guardian

 

sort of stuff that leads to civil disorder, riots, revolutions, war and armageddon.

people that have concerns about migration ( racists ) tend to fall into the category of being climate change deniers

There’s a legitimate argument that both electricity and food have been too cheap for a long time.

 

The average UK price per kWh is about 26p, so for example, doing a clothes wash costs about 30 to 60p. Imagine how much time and effort to do it by hand

its only legitimate if people were paid  better at the lower end .. otherwise it pushes more into poverty

IMO it’s rent prices that are pushing people into poverty, not food or utilities prices 

 

Apparently average rent prices are about £300 per week, minimum wage is about £12 per hour. So that leaves only about £200 a week for other essentials.

true  but it adds to the burden ..... and the appearance of food banks

Too many people innit.

Uneven distribution of wealth and resources. We have the resources to allow everyone to live comfortably, we don’t have the resources for relatively few to live luxuriously. We have the resources for everyone to have what they need, we don’t have the resources for everyone to have what they want or what they’re told they want/need

Nah, we need a cull.

Latest numbers for rent are acutally mad £1365 a month (£2712 in London) up nearly 50% since 2020. Boris wave doing Boris wave things.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
