Surely this will cant happen. How do they expect the average person to be able to afford to install a heat pump in their home. Honestly I despair!

The telegraph article is behind a paywall, can anyone access and paste it?

A little bird told me that Patrick Harvie gives the appearance of cycling to the train station on his foldable Brompton bike but actually gets dropped round the corner (down a quiet lane) and then cycles from there!

His green credentials are as believable as flying pigs!

@ProseccoOnTap clearly you have no understanding just how utterly reliant island communities are on the ferries.

These aren’t just to help tourist get there, they provide a lifeline to the mainland. Got cancer, you need to get the ferry to the mainland for treatment.

Fancy a cheese and ham sandwich, well how do most of the ingredients get there?

Such ignorance is quite outstanding.

I was shocked at how long it would take to recover the outlay for a heat pump - 36 years !!! I'm in my 50s and not likely to stay in this house as it will be too big for us.
Also curious as to why so many more heat pumps installed in France - wonder if that's because they have more nuclear power stations and energy is state subsidised ?

Gas chief: Heat pumps are for the privileged

Only “privileged” homeowners can afford heat pumps, the boss of Britain’s gas network has said.

I'm no SNP/Greens fan, but I can't get as upset about ferries & bottle schemes in comparison to the shower of Cunts in Westminster.

They are indeed cunts, however they control very little that affects day to day life in Scotland. The fuck ups by the SNP and money wasting they do pound for pound affects the Scottish population more as we only have a 10th of the population to spread the shite over.

I had to say goodbye to my dad over FaceTime from a hospital car park as he was dying during covid. Whilst the cunts in Westminster partied.

That's where my viewpoint comes from.

Yep, I totally understand that and I'm sorry that you didn't get to say goodbye properly.

Snp/greens want us to blame Westminster for everything including the things that they are responsible for too, it's deflection.

Totally seperate to your reasoning though. 😢
