No they can't afford to, and we can't either.We're on our own, we're not in the EU. The civilised world should support Ukraine but recognise none of this is their fault, that isn't what Trump is doing. I find it completely inconceivable that he's aportioning blame to them in any way. He's selling Ukraine down the river and appeasing Putin, that's a cowards way out. |

Hopefully not getting involved. This spat is nothing to do with us. |

The bottom line is that Ukraine has been invaded. Irrespective of NATO, the EU, resources or anything else. They're a democratic country who can do what they want. They haven't started anything. They shouldn't need to be serious about peace, Russia should just withdraw to their borders. Trump sees it as a business deal it's a million miles from that. Trump is making a mug of himself really. |

They're not breaking the law. We've allowed them to do what they're doing on the whole. We need intense agriculture to keep milk and eggs as cheap as they are. My view as a realistic environmentalist and in my personal life is that we need to pay more or use less. We can't have both. To improve the sewage infrastructure will cost millions and millions. The bodies responsible for enforcement have seen huge government cuts We can't have it all. |

Trump is an idiot and so is Vance. Neither Putin nor Lavrov are. They're horrible but not stupid. I bet Lavrov ate Vance for breakfast in Saudi. |

With regard to climate change I think we're knackered and heading for a mass extinction, similar to the dinosaurs, in the next few 10's of thousands of years. With huge issues with immigration, food production and extreme weather conditions over the next couple of hundred years maximum. There's nothing we can do about it. Water pollution is from agriculture and sewage treatment. We produce food too cheaply and need to improve sewage treatment and drainage. But who's going to pay for either to be improved? |

I think they're aiming for energy security ASAP, and benefits of first mover advantage. If there are any. We can be the Saudi Arabia of wind power, one of the few things BoJo said that maybe true. I don't know who we'll export the power too but potentially the technology? |

But they still need to spend money. With Trump going tariff mad we need to make sure we get a decent deal. If the tariff's work they'll outlast him. We need to get as good a deal as we can. I can see Charles has offered him a visit. What a coincidence. |

No. There's not a great deal of point in the UK tax payer suffering solely to contribute towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we don't make much difference. Every country in the world needs to do their bit but it's not going to happen. We need to move towards energy security and reduce the need to import fuel / energy. There'd also be a great advantage in us being pioneers of renewable energy and sustainable fuels too. So that's definitely worthy of investment We are heading to a catastrophic tipping point, it's just that not even our grandkids will be around to see it so many people don't care. Although I suspect climate change will mean their lives will be a bit more difficult. |

There will be another presidential election and he isn't allowed to stand. |

We do. If he was around long term, the problem is that he's not. He's around for 4 years and no more. We need to cosy up to him to a certain degree because the US is one of our few international "friends" with cash behind them and we're skint and out of the EU. We're on our own. The next few years in politics are crucial. We could end up in world war or a more sensible middle ground after realising far left/right agenda's get you nowhere. |

No. It's just one company being led by shareholders compared to what the entire planet actually needs to do. |

This "Gaza Riviera" video Trump has shared is probably the most crass and dangerous thing anyone in power has ever done. The guy's a moron. [Post edited 26 Feb 22:25]

Before you consider the Port Talbot Freeport area which is largely built around offshore wind turbine construction and maintenenace and sustainable jet fuel production. I'm sure Reform and their Net Zero ambitions will get fully behind this! |

Robbed? He was trounced by the second worst PM this country has ever had. He'd have bankrupted the country within weeks. |

He was basically referring to the international Jewish conspiracy of control and subversion, that the Nazis used to justify the holocaust and the second world war. It's not the first time he's done that. And he then went on and said it was true anyway Good job he's not antisemitic though. |

There was nothing innocent about the paragraph written in the opening post. If calling it out for what it is is Woke then anyone to the Left of Nazism is Woke. Luckily it was only on here for 26 minutes. Did you see it? |
