Was it the courts, the cops, or The Sun who killed Just Stop Oil?

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.

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.

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

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.

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
