The war in the Persian Gulf is good news for Chinese EV car makers as people move away from petrol cars to EV's. Long term less demand for oil means less need for countries to keep Petro Dollars to buy the oil. Unforseen consequences.

Governments tell us there will be a war in Europe by 2030. Energy will be an issue if that happens. Get yourself some solar panels and a battery to store the energy. Prepare while you can.

Severn Trent Why is how to pay you water bill in the letters you send out, have the smallest text on the letter. You need a magnifying glass to read it. You have lots of space on the letter yet you choose to use the smallest text. Don't you want the elderly to pay the water bill?

Years ago there was someone who would look at firms with big company pension pots and take it over to raid the pension pot. Now people look at profitable companies with little or no debt and take over and finance it by putting the debt on the bought company. It should be banned.

There was a time when everyone knew Biden was a goner. He was mumbling, you knew he was incapable of running for Presidency for the next five years, but no one would tell him until it was too late. We are at the same position with Trump now.

In the UK they increased the retirement age from 66 to 67. For one year there are less people retiring. Is it a surprise that youth unemployment goes up by a million this year because the older worker didn't need replacing for an extra year.

If the US uses tactical nuclear Bombs on Iran. Russia will use tactical nuclear Bombs on Ukraine. Both the wars are in similar situations. The world needs to wake up to this madness.

It is time probably for all the GCC countries to pay for a country like Pakistan to patrol the Persian Gulf. They may need to arm it to be able to do the job. Someone everyone can trust to do the job. They have the military, they just need the funds to be able to do it.

Off ramp. Let Pakistan control the Strait of Hormuz until US works something out with Iran. Iran withdrews to its coast. US withdraw from the area. Hopefully oil and gas starts coming out again as well as other goods.

When a war criminal openly commits a war crime and not the UN or the EU say anything then the world is heading for bad times. Every crime can be committed, having said that, after a genocide, what is left ? Evil has taken over the world.

We are in the lands of lunacy. Iran wants to control the Strait of Hormuz & charge a fee. USA under Trump is against Iran charging a fee but wants to take over the Strait and charge a fee himself. It seems there is no benefit for the world no matter what happens. Hypocrisy.

Can the NHS and everyone else start writing or stamp the date of posting a letter on the back of the envelope so we can track how long a letter takes before it is delivered. This is so that we don't miss hospital appointments.

Forget Global Warming. As humans we need clean air, clean water and clean land. Pollution of any type is our enemy. Polluting air, water or land is bad for us humans. I am sure we can all agree on that.

Is Trump having a Pyrrhic victory over Iran?

All this is is about hegemon power. USA wants to defeat Iran. Iran is resisting with the backing of Russia & China. Russia & China know if Iran is defeated they are next in line. It seems two/ three economic power cannot co exist in this world. A bigger World War awaits.

When the Nazi's committed Genocide, the West all said it was a horrific act. When Israel commits Genocide in Gaza, apart from Ireland and Spain, there is silence from other European countries. I fear for Europe as once Genocide is normalised there will be hell on Earth.

A Christian lady says that Pork is forbidden in Christianity: “The bible forbids pork because pigs are bottom feeders. They are the scum of the earth. How can you have a healthy body if you are consuming scum.”

Having read up on this. The benefits were allowed from 1988. It's now only for legacy claims. Universal Credit no longer allows new claims. But we still have 10,000 claiming. They can claim £125 extra per week, per wife. So that's a minimum of £1,250,000 per week!

If X allows false posts including false videos then X will become irrelevant, as you just cannot trust anything on it. It will be like a comic book. Anything made from AI should have an AI logo on it . I know the idea is to irritate people so they respond but it's not good.

USA spends $1.2 billion a day on the Iran embargo. Iran could get $500 million a day in oil sales. It would be worth USA giving Iran $500 million & save $700 million? Make it make sense. Meanwhile GCC cannot export any oil in dollars and they even have withdrew dollars from US.

Meanwhile they are having trouble using toilets and the food is bad and the hot weather is coming. They say they are not in a hurry, but if they keep the blockade for a year, it would cost them $1.2 x 365 = $438Billion. You can win a battle and lose a war financially.
