Edited - A re-hash of post 32958. |
Supernumerary - no one mentioned solving the problems, but they are there writ large - its just that no one in power of whatever hue, will acknowledge them. |
I remember at junior school (7-10) we had very good cooking lessons - but only for the girls!
It worked though, as most women of my generation are pretty decent cooks :-) |
Just you, Super. (Big smiley face) |
Is there any problem you guys couldn't solve? |
I doubt Labour will do much about benefits. The Robin Hood mantra rules.
Everyone knows that the obese cannot help it when people are always ramming food down their throats.
You only have to look at the success of large carryout/delivery food chains to realise how many people do not cook for themselves. That is despite the high cost.
When I was at secondary school, a long time ago (sad face), we did a cookery class in the first year. I learnt absolutely nothing there. Schools should have serious cookery teaching, for all years, so that young people can learn to make healthy meals and eat sensibly when they become independent. I guess one problem is constant snacking between meals.
All the fancy cookery competitions on TV are more likely to put people off just making simple wholesome meals. |
Sadly, we also need to look closer to home - like the benefits system.
Multi generational indigenous families, who have never worked, milk the system and add an ever increasing burden.
Covid has obviously added and extra layer, with people now unwilling to go to work AND do the hours they are paid to do - try calling any helpline during school run time.
And don't get me started about "not my fault I'm obese".
Today's mantra seems to be "everyone has rights, no one has responsibilities". |
Well we weren't in a good place before Labour came to power. At least they are being candid about what these Tory vandals have been doing for the last c8 years and more, or not been doing more like.
They need to tax the oil cos and the tech co`s properly Reverse the self inflicted wounds of Brexit- They are starting to do that IMO. Stop blaming migrants for the country's problems and Gov failure....Labour are stating to do this too.. Be honest with where we are. They are doing this. Sugar coating, hiding the problems, and repeating `we`ll be fine` ad nauseam, Johnsons` inane boosterism for instance, just doesn't cut it. |
The UK is bankrupt and we are not creating the wealth needed to change that fact.
One of the main causes of this disastrous situation is that we import far too many products that we are perfectly capable of making ourselves. For example, we import far too many Mercs, Beemers, Audis and all the rest, due in no small part to brand snobbery of people who 'must' make the right impression in their local clubs or social groups.
It seems to me that it is far more important to suck up to the EU so that we can give them even more free, unhindered access to our markets while the EU makes it as difficult as they can for us to export to them, e.g. the Windsor Framework. For the past several years, I have not seen English tomatoes in my local Tesco in Belfast.
It is great that we can all buy goods that are made more cheaply abroad. That is a fallacy. The true costs should have a large premium for the social costs of lost jobs and reduced Income and Corporation Tax-take from manufacturing.
Now, the chickens are coming home to roost with Labour threatening growth by increasing taxes substantially. They talk about the huge mess left by the Tories while ignoring the fact that the Tories spent their first term from 2010-2015 introducing austerity in a failed attempt to clean up the mess left to them by Labour.
Now Labour is cancelling oil production in the UK so we will have to import more oil from abroad until renewables can make up the shortfall. They say, 'The oil goes to Rotterdam!' Really? Do they not understand that if we sell the oil which we do not need, we can then use the proceeds to buy the oil we do need? Of course, they do understand but dogma rules. All part of the Leftie agenda to provoke a revolution with the aim of forming a Socialist dictatorship with someone like Putin at the top.
As for ITM, they are caught in a Catch 22 of insufficient demand for H2, partly because of lack of demand which in turn is caused by lack of National infrastructure. |
We seem to continue getting diluted while we were stuffed and spending money on RNS releases too often to declare giving shares away. Enough already! Cooley and Bone should cough up the freebies they grafted |
A lot of Plug's problems are due to its involvement in liquid hydrogen. |
As already stated Plug are on borrowed time in more ways than one. They have a loan that will never be paid back and a competitor waiting in the wings to take over their existing customers. Nope not ITM but Bosch. |
Well plug has hit a new all time low overnight. Itm is a different besst but not yet in the eyes of the market. Hydrogen as a fuel won't disappear like betamax. More to it than that l. That's just lose all your self respect - supporting a short talk. The shorters got more balls or info than I at this level |
I think this outfit is doomed
Hydrogen just isn’t catching on as a renewable |
What the bonus shares do is keep Dennis in position for at least the next 2 years which is a bonus in itself |
Tanking in u.s currently. The continued displeasure with the sector is alarming. When will it change? Will it change? |
Unbelievable awarding themselves loads of shares
I am going to have a think about increasing my short position because this ain’t going up anytime soon imo |
Unfortunately in Wales you could put a donkey up as an MP and they would still get in.
Don't think Dennis will be to impressed with his visit and promoting a competitor to ITM. Especially one that isn't in the UK. |
Graham - this country is well into terminal decline - for multiple obvious reasons!
People should be careful/mindful of what they wish for when they vote! |
