    Great talk and something I'm very interested in. It was stated that profit has to be made from produce and can't be made from services. Does that mean that once you meet those targets you can then also provide services or does it mean that services are not allowed under the scheme?

LMFAO @ this idiot......It was clearly a load of unsupported drivel fifteen years ago because nothing happened and another 100 months on, now 200 months and nothing has changed. It was drivel back then and its drivel now. I call for these people who platform themselves as self appointed crystal ball gazing scaremongers to face charges, fines and jail. Just as you cant threaten people without consequences then you should also not be allowed to deliberately set out to frighten people with unsubstantiated garbage without facing consequences. Listen to this idiot at your own peril. Or you could study the real science and the real data and call these idiots out and bring them to account.

    Great stuff but the political analysis is wrong IMO Which will be a greener government? 1. A labour government with a majority of 150 where the (right wing, neoliberal) leadership can do anything it wants, which means very little, or 2. A labour government with a majority of 40, which is about the size of the socialist campaign group) and 5-10 greens and another 10-20 progressive Libdems? Starmer, with Reeves and Streeting, has rowed back on everything progressive in their offering to the point that he is now even refusing to restore child benefits to 3+ kids. That is not for electoral advantage. It's because he and his handlers believe in austerity ideology. These people will not do anything like enough without being forced.

      Blue and red have both had their chance. Both have failed to step up for people. Voting for a less-worse party wont lead to better policies. Vote for the other parties based on policies not tribes. Blue and red need a smaller share of the seats going forward. This will be the fastest way to PR. Supporting big majorities only entrenches FPTP. Parties must be forced to work together. No party with a big majority would give up that power by choice.
