Is that your way of thanking me for working it out and explaining it :)

I think it's finally clicked for me :) In June 2023 the energy price cap was £2500 and in June 2024 it was £1690 - so that's a fall of £810 in the 12 months to June 2024 In July 2023 the energy price cap was £1976 and in July 2024 it was £1568 - so that's a fall of just £408 in the 12 months...

That's what the ONS says. I'm sure I could understand it if I really tried. But things like this make my brain hurt!

Indeed. Harris' Walz's .

That made me LOL!

It is a sad fact that many, perhaps most of the people who voted Brexit are now a lot angrier than they were when we in the EU. And that's mainly because of immigration. Before Brexit it was mainly about too many people coming here and the pressure on services. Now, it's also about the type of...

I know two people in particular who voted Brexit who are so angry now that it's actually quite scary. I just try to placate them now rather than having any sort of rational discussion. They were cross about being in the EU. But since we left and the colour of most of the immigrants has changed...

I actually do worry about that :LOL: Sometimes I imagine it falling on me when I'm asleep and chopping me into little pieces.

Ceiling fans are fantastic. You get a lovely constant breeze even on the lowest setting. I don't know why more people don't use them.

Well at least he wasn't a muslim or asylum seeker or black/brown foreign or black/brown British. I think that's the correct hierarchy of hatred.

They bring in special procedures for national rioting, exactly the same as 2011. And the ones sentenced so far have pleaded guilty. There's nothing suspicious. It's a total red herring to link the two.

Everyone I know who voted Leave is angrier than ever.

There is the possibility of a third party candidate. Hillary lost in 2016 because many of those on the left wouldn't vote for her. This is something they are definitely worried about.

Well, it's a very vague term. I never thought it meant that on Day One the Border Security Command would be up and running. In the same way that I didn't expect them to recruit 6500 new teachers on Day One. What I took it to mean was that these were the priorities and on Day One they would sit...

Everything has gone extremely smoothly for Kamala Harris so far. The Democrat convention starts Monday, which should give her another major boost. The only real fly in the ointment is over Gaza. She has already had to handle two demonstrations at her rallies from those wanting her to be much...

Are the rules clear and are they applied consistently. Do you know why he was banned. I went back through the last few pages and nothing struck me as bad. Were there other posts which were deleted.

I've no idea. But it seems a bit pointless to have a discussion about Gaza without one of the main contributors from the other side of the debate.

I didn't realise it was that thread. I thought it was the one which got locked about the Labour councillor. I've never been banned. Do they ever let you back on? Maybe everyone could agree to start a new thread about Gaza?

I don't think they actually said that. But I wasn't following it that much.
