Germany are going to try to get people to use less petrol by slashing the price of monthly public transport tickets from 90 Euro to 9 Euro in a scheme called 90 for 9 (yep thats so German). Use of Public Transport for a month - 9 Euro

I've chucked people out the cab for this. Ask me to turn it off, fine, I'll do that. Just turning off, adjusting the volume, changing the channel etc without asking... GTFO and walk

Just because the Met do things one way doesn’t mean every force acts in the same way. There’s even an argument that Durham only sent questionnaire because the Met did. There’s no way of knowing if it’s an actual concern or not

Wait til I change the title to Slaphead Convention

Well here's a rabbit hole i just fell down. So I was just looking up Lee Perry in my collection on Discogs and the search threw up The Infotainment Scam album by The Fall because it has Why are People Grudgeful? on it (A CD extra and a different version to the single) which is credited to Perry. So that got me wondering, if I had the Lee Perry original. Search turned up nothing so then I moonied the title and it has a Wikipedia page The Fall - Why are People Grudgeful? The Wiki page informs me that there is no song by Scratch called Why are People Grudgeful? Because what The Fall song is bits of two different songs that Mark E Smith combined One song was... Lee Perry - People Funny Boy Now we have to rewind here and understand what this is. On the surface, it's Lee Perry's debut single but there's more to it than that Perry started out working for Clement Coxsone Dodd and recorded over 30 tracks for Dodd's Sound System but they fell out over money, so Perry moved on and started working for Dodd's rival, Joe Gibbs (Dodd and Gibbs were the two big boys of the sound systems / record labels in Jamaica at the time) but again it didn't take long before Perry and Gibbs also fell out over money. Perry decides to go it alone and records his first "Solo" single People Funny Boy on his own Upset label, he's credited as Lee (King) Perry and the producer is credited as Upset (People wrongly credit the original label as Upsetter - is absolutely wasn't) This was Perry being pissed off, hence the Upset label and Producer, that was the message. The song is known as one of the first reggae records but it's also the one that really launched the genre, he had a big Jamaican hit on his hands and everyone loved the bassline which was just so different from all that came before it and as a result some will argue that this was the first real reggae record as the bassline set the tone for everything that came after. It also features a "sample" (not in the modern parlance) of a baby crying, which definitely sets the tone for everything Perry did afterwards, I mean he even miked up a cow in the studio for Heart of the Congos. So that moment there with the baby crying might also be one of the most important things to happen in the history of music, it's the start of Dub, it's the start of samples, it's a massive moment Anyway the song itself was a thinly disguised attack on Joe Gibbs. Gibbs couldn't help himself, he had to retailate Sir Gibbs - People Grudgeful And it it is those two songs that M.E.S. combined or "mashed up" (here we go again....) It also makes me wonder why M.E.S. only credited Perry? Was that Smith's dig at the exploitation of the money men of the music industry and giving Perry the full royalties was also an up you to Joe Gibbs by taking Perry's side. Who knows Obviously, it is also where Upsetter / Upsetters came from TL:DR - you are a moron

Andrea Loathsome is doing that Tory thing of criticising Johnson but not actually saying she'll do anything about it. To her constituents she says she doesn't agree with Johnson, to her party machine she's saying carry on Just another duplicitous and typical Tory Happens all the time, lots of criticism, not enough letters

For the sake of balance it should be pointed out that more people in the UK are non-believers (of any trademark of God) than those that actively participate in the State religion. In fact Non-believers almost equal those that identify (note: identify isn't active practicing) as any trademarked brand of Christianity, so when you inevitably break that down into actively practicing in each cult the Non-believers far outweigh any religious trademark. The decrease in numbers of actively practicing from identifying in the State Sponsored Trademark is particularly acute, far more than say the second largest trademark which is Catholicism, who in all likelihood are the largest practicing trademark.

Are we talking energy of oil based fuel here? I don't think the Greens have ever argued for expensive renewable energy if it is oil based fuel, then the current circumstances might show them that the policy just won't work, the prices would have to be much higher than now before people stop using petrol / diesel. It will push them into the electric market for sure but... there aren't anywhere near enough cheaper models available. They need to be far more carrot than stick
