Like any other religion then.

I was reading earlier that Penny Mordaunt hasnt (yet) been cleared for Conservative party candidacy and thinking how wild it is that the NeoNazi with the criminal record was waved through. Yes it was as a local councillor but they doubled down for him. Mordaunt on the other hand might possibly disagree with Badenoch - or draw more attention, you decide - and probably doesn't make AI slop videos, so she needs to wait it out.

Tice now want us to celebrate climate change, embrace the heat, and build desalination plants, just like the Middle East

Before you know it he will be promoting more immigration and Sharia law.

His ideal society is Dubai so nothing would surprise me.

It’s so weird, there was a post on MN a couple of days ago that said, almost word for word, the same thing. How funny.

They didn’t reference the vast amount of power required for desalination plants or what happens to the chemical waste either.

Have you discovered Oakeshotts' MN username? Or Tice himself 🤔

Its just odd.

Solar power & wind turbines = terrible blots on the landscape.

Fracking and desalination plants = the answers to all our troubles.

😂

WE know that he will say anything if the price is right.

If the price is a fiddle shirley.

So now he’s in effect admitting that climate change is real after all, but claiming that it doesn’t matter?

I think the suggestion is that the boost to Chapel Down & Nyetimber will offset any other climate related issues.

They've got all the contracts at the ready. Is my guess

I doubt he’ll be quite so blasé about it when climate change leads to increased levels of immigration to the UK.

Although he’ll probably refuse to accept that it’s climate change that is the cause. He’ll say that they’re all simply economic migrants and can be sent back home.

Singapore famously has a circular water system essentially toilet to water treatment plant to tap again. Ironically this makes their water almost too pure (because sewage water needs such a high level of treatment). The UAE also recycled toilet water for watering it's green areas etc but I think less effectively.
We could do that in the UK, but it would cost a lot and I can't see the good people of Britain wanting to drink Zia Yusuf's piss. Unless that's what they meant by trickle down economics.

Flicking through FB earlier (it’s my birthday so reading the messages) and up pops Farage to put a stain on mh day.

He’s in a paid for advert claiming that when Reform get in they’d stop all the boats in the first 2 weeks.

He’s really does live in an alternate universe doesn’t he? 🙄

Happy Birthday @itsgettingweird 🎉

Farage is still awol from the press conferences and the FT was stopped from asking questions about Tice's finances.

Happy birthday!

Garage can say that safe in the knowledge he will never be proved wrong as he will never get into power.

Happy birthday @itsgettingweird !
The ‘stop the boats in two weeks’ thing is Trump again isn’t it? He was going to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours…

Happy birthday, @itsgettingweird !

The shite ccoming out of Reform right now suggests they know they have blown it and will never form a government.

Polls or not, I never believed they could. They wouldn’t be able to find enough candidates to stand in enough seats.

Happy birthday @itsgettingweird

Yes, everything is 2 weeks with Trump, followed by Taco Tuesday.
