I’m with you completely. I am an EU citizen, my country of birth has been there from the start. Britain seems to have a limited transactional view on anything related to *Europe*, and a sort of semi-amused stance towards people who are not British. The old Empire is still lurking, needs to be 1/2

NEW ANALYSIS: UK household electricity bills have risen over the last 5 years.
BUT: Despite frequent claims that net zero is to blame: 2/3 of the increase is because of high gas prices shows new @ukerc.bsky.social report.
Arguably without renewable energy the UK would see even higher bills today.

While Gregory Bovino and the two CBP officers who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been pulled out of Minnesota, that is not justice. All three were immediately sent back out on the street in another American city to terrorize, and possibly even murder, more Americans.
