It is a mystery why only the UK side of the North Sea is a declining basin while the Norwegians keep finding more and more oil and gas on their side of the North Sea. 🤔 Could this possibly be caused by our ban on new exploration?
Backing new licenses won’t save jobs in a declining, mature basin, but it will put a wrecking ball through climate credibility. Employment in Scotland supported by the oil and gas sector fell by a third since 2014 - despite hundreds of new licenses being awarded.

Every reading gets worse: “The court also authorised Mr Brand and Ms Goldsmith to pursue Ms Berki’s bankruptcy if she failed to pay £50,000 in legal costs within two weeks. The judge had already acknowledged that she probably had no money.”
Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself. In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand. But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

Meanwhile… 🤐 it’s a man literally punching women
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, the male who punched women to victory at the Paris Olympics, returns to the French capital on 15th December to box against another woman, 21-year-old Clarida Sarabia. Competing in a professional tournament means Khelif is exempt from the need to fight other men and may compete in women’s boxing. This week a Conservative amendment to the Sporting Events Bill to ensure sportswomen’s rights to single-sex sport (changing rooms and toilets) at ALL international events held in this country was voted down by Labour MPs. This time the boxer is fighting in Paris. Next time, it could be London because our lawmakers won’t protect the woman taking her life in her hands to fight against a man.

Very very funny…
“Ik ben 41. Ik wil geen moeder worden. Ik word liever vader.” Briljante comedy.

The firm acting for Messrs Brand and Goldsmith was Archerfield Partners LLP. We think they have serious questions to answer.

… the paramedics, ambulance and fire & rescue services.
Cops out on the street last night being bottled and attacked for half the money they’ll be on. Working a 3 shift system, dealing with suicides, violence, RTA fatals, and a dozen other things which require a wide range of skills……and this lot are awarding themselves £90k a year in a non job, requiring not a single qualification, and from which they’re almost unsackable and are certainly unanswerable.

“She’ll never tell.” Is it possible to despise these people more?
“ I raped someone once,” Brand said in 2013, to raucous laughter from the interviewer and audience. As @LizKershawDJ writes in her Telegraph article, “Brand was a creation of some of the most powerful players in the media. They were in his thrall. And he was egged on. He was their performing monkey. He made “great telly”. His colleagues were collateral damage.” Media bosses at the Sun newspaper who celebrated him as “Shagger of the Year” three times (2006, 2007, 2008) and executives who turned a blind eye to his sexual activities with competition winners in BBC lavatories, and allowed him to regale his Radio 2 audience with “what he’d like to do to a newsreader under the desk” should hang their heads in shame.

Here’s something a lot of people - non lawyers - would appreciate being explained @doubjeopardypod

You won't find a copy of the judgment anywhere - it was a summary judgment, without a trial. Ms Berki had no representation. A lifelong injunction on summary judgment? Astonishing.

How could this be granted? Because Ms Berki had no legal representation. Mr Brand had plenty.

For an idea of what transactivists consider to be “harmful”, consider that today in the High Court counsel for the City of London Corporation said that excluding men who identify as women from a women’s swimming pond was as “humiliating” as excluding Jewish people from a café.>

Two leftist Marxist students celebrating the Islamic Revolution in Tehran, 1979. Sahar Mohammadi (left) and Maryam Rafiei (right). Maryam Rafiei was later executed by the same regime in the 1988 prison massacres, along with thousands of other leftist political activists. The revolution ate its own. They hated the Shah of Iran so much that they cheered Khomeini’s arrival, convinced the revolution would bring freedom and modernity. Reminds you of anything today?

the moment it has been resolved 100% in favour of the trans point of view DS I don't accept that characterisation, arrangements have been seen as positively beneficial by most cis women, they haven't lost a bit, the arrangement is win win. Looking at the consultation and focus

Thames crossing? It’s been not years but decades in planning! The merry go round > tonne of money dropped on consultants, shelved because… mostly the cost of land, and the tension between housing and commercial development. Then it stops for another decade, or two.

Data. It’s always in the data.
🚨 "I DON'T THINK EMPLOYERS ARE WORKING PEOPLE" That's the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Emma Reynolds. So who are Britain's employers? 🔴 1.42 MILLION businesses employ staff ✅ 81% of them have fewer than 10 staff ❌ Just 8,335 are large firms 💷 SMEs provide 16.9 MILLION jobs, 60% of private sector employment Not faceless corporations. The builder with an apprentice. The café owner. The local hairdresser. Perhaps ministers should meet a few of them. Are business owners not working people?
