    In 2017, 2 years before the 2019 general election Labour were polling 26%

    If you now look at 2021 2 years before the next general election and Labour are polling at 33%

    In 2017 in the space of 3 months Labours polling went from 26% to 40% so things can change very quickly.

    In the GE of 2017 Labour got 40% of the vote and in the GE of 2019 Labour got 32.2% of the vote so I agree that things can change very quickly but not necessarily in the way Labour supporters hope.

    I'm quite happy to see you get yourself into a situation where you prove my point with each post... again! :D

    Glad to hear it as I shall just keep posting replies. What was your point... again? :D

     

    Will try again next week.

    Well played sibon :thumbsup:

    Yep, all credit for using derogatory language and pejoratives because she couldn't do it anyother way. Seems to have got you keyed up as well. LOL!  :thumbsup:

    So well that you didn't spot that sibon wasn't using "woke" pejoratively, but to make you get all upset... it worked! :?

    Upset.....Nah just standing up to the usual bullies on SF and posting replies. :)  It always make me laugh when people have to use derogatory and pejorative words such as "king of the Gammons* goes all Woke*"as  a form of bullying people into submission as it shows up their real character when annoyed by a post. :?

    Always amusing watching someone trying to use "woke" pejoratively! :loopy:

    Glad you found it funny especially as "woke" is now mainly classed as a pejorative term anyway. I actually used it to poke fun (a play on words) at sibon post #2453 as she used two pejoratives in the same sentence to try and discredit someone when one didn't seem enough. Maybe complain to her about the use of pejoratives.

    Maybe we're just giving you an opportunity to show how clueless you really are.... again! :hihi:

    No worries. People can read the posts and make up their own minds. :thumbsup:

    Here we go with the same old rhetoric,

    But your post stinks of old fashioned working class snobbery which I had actually thought was a thing of the past, maybe it's a just a Labour thing now!

    I like people who have made it through hard work, skill and talent. Boris Johnson isn’t one of them.

    He certainly is as he would not be in the position he currently commands.

    He goes on about how skint he is but he still keeps knocking em out. If he hadn’t been born with a silver spoon in his gob and had every door of opportunity opened to him he’d have made a good character in Shameless. It’s a funny old world!

    You really don't like people who are better off than you do you?

    Yeah tfh I voted Tory in the last election and no I’m not embarrassed about it. I’m not a Tory, far from it, but the alternative of letting Corbyn and his delusional band of commie mates into power wasn’t an option for me. Also, for all the **** ups Boris and his chums have made re Covid does anyone really believe Labour would have done better? The chief difference would be that we would have entered the first lockdown already bankrupt.

    Just as a point of order.

     

    The bit about being embarrassed posted by tinfoilhat in post #2412 was to do with the video of Boris and the umbrella at the Police Memorial. That post was then hijacked by sibon for her own take on it in order to try and get a response. No real reply needed.

    How much of the increase in prices is due to subsidies for renewable energy projects?

    Not sure exactly but from what I have read the past subsidies have led to a significant increase in renewables which has significantly lowered the cost of building them and has lead to lower subsidies. They are now a very cost effective way of producing electricity.

     

    Quote from LSE article:

     

    "In the UK, subsidies have led to a significant increase in the deployment of renewables. This in turn has led to a rapid decrease of the cost of some of these technologies. Notably, offshore wind projects commissioned in 2022/23 will sell their electricity at £57.50/ megawatt hour (MWh). This is cheaper than the average cost of generating electricity from gas, and well below the price of long-term contracts for new nuclear power, which is £92.50/MWh. Recent analysis backed the UK government’s view that further subsidies should be time-bound and removed once the relevant obstacles and market failures have been overcome. This will include phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, as recommended by the International Monetary Fund (IMF)."

     

    Link: https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/explainers/do-renewable-energy-technologies-need-government-subsidies/

     

    The above quote is right at the bottom of that link.

    All the more reason to re-nationalise them!

    If only it was that simple.

     

    Re-nationalisation of energy companies will not stop the increase in wholesale prices of imported energy from Europe which is a big factor in the increases. Someone will still have to pay for the extra infrastructure for wind and solar energy to cope with growing demand and for the smart meter rollout. Money will also have to be spent on ending companies contracts and providing compensation for re-nationalisation. 

     

    The best way to reduce the cost is for the individual to reduce consumption.

    No.

     

    Why can’t you answer the question. After all, your government has had a stonking majority for over two years. 

    Me bolded.

     

    Because psychologically embarrassment is a self conscious emotion which the individual in question suffers from so does not apply to all people. I am someone who is not easily embarrassed so it's an  impossible question to answer.

     

    Here you go, a quick rundown on embarrassment for you! :)

    Are you proud of them? Have they spent public money well? Are they honest? Trustworthy?

     

    Have a stab.

    Ahh, the normal straw man argument from you which has nothing to do with the original question by tinfoilhat.

    People who voted for the conservatives at the last election- if you aren't embarrassed by this, can you explain why?

    You go first as it's much easier to explain why someone is embarrassed than to explain why someone is not as some seem to get embarrassed very easily by media trivia.

    Try a different HDMI cable. Try a bi-directional DVI to HDMI converter or cable. Try the proper Nvidia GTX 660 drivers and not the Windows ones. Check the monitors resolution and refresh rate is compatible with the card. Last but not least try a different monitor as it could be that. If you can get it working with a DVI convertor/cable then don't bin it just put it for sale on eBay and explain the problem.

    It wasn't actually a lie.  However, it would have been better if the leave campaign had quoted a net figure which is more like £250 million a week. I understand one reason for not using the net amount is because the EU decided where some of the rebate amount was to be spent.  The Tory government were not responsible for the leave campaign's actions.

     

    If people now belive in what Cummings has stated recently then they will know the £350 figure on the bus was actually designed to enrage the remainers ino arguing amongst themselves and sow dissent among them. Seems to have worked as well as they still keep quoting it!

    Mrs Rocker was one day overheard telling her newly married friend, "On the first day make sure you take ages to peel the spuds, to the point that he is starving. He will come running in from the garage and  he will show you how to peel them quickly. Do the same the second day and so on until he gets fed up of telling you. He is still peeling them after 45 years.

    Mind you I am sick to death of spuds.

    Hehe.... That sort of reminds me of how to get out of drying the dishes. A tip for other men... just drop one now and then and it will soon be "go sit down you clumsy idiot" and you won't be allowed to dry up again!

    With this TV, I will no longer have to think for myself. I will look forward to adopting the ideas and perception of reality that is broadcast from the signal. A life of mindless trivia, sports, celebrity gossip, insecurities and material possessions are just a click away.

     

     

    Grrrrr

    Jesus, it make me feel very superior now knowing all this is happening and I'm one of the few who don't watch TV. :D
