The UK could switch to renewables for the price of two nuclear reactors.
Everyone's energy bill could drop to standing charge only, to cover grid costs & maintenance.
If we pushed further, we could export that energy to pay for that too.

Listening to the budget.
The rhetoric is transparent lies.
She's not doing austerity, while explaining she's cut so much, the debt is reducing faster than expected.
That she's helping workers and "mom 'n' pop" businesses, while explaining she's handing out enormous tax breaks to big businesses.

BBC on cost of living crisis:
We spoke to a couple feeling the pinch with a combined income of £67,000...
*Average* combined income is £35,000.
People with £5,500 a month are not at the pointy end of inflation.
Utterly out of touch to present them as a family in food poverty.

I despise how so many shows are purpose built for a second season, rather than telling a complete story.
Especially when they know a decision won't be made until after it airs, so season 2 won't come for 3 years 🙄
Anyway, I'm enjoying foreign language TV that doesn't do that.

This is the "free speech watchdog" who fined Sussex university, Brighton, for not being transphobic enough and not stamping out trans people protesting harder.

Grim that being called "racist" is now more beyond the pale than being racist.
The answer should be
"Of course he did - supporting racist policies *is* racist".
Not to rush to the defence of people desperate for racism.
If they don't like being seen as racist, they shouldn't support racism 🤷🏼♀️

I'm reminded of the manga With the Light
It's about a mother struggling to raise an autistic child.
The struggles aren't because of the child, they are because of everyone else being turdbags.
Also good for if you've a box of tissues that needed using.
