Talking to a couple of blokes this morning, they were on the M25 yesterday and it took them just over 4 hours to go 19 miles.

One person day wasted !!

They want to stop all new oil and gas exploration. They're actually not asking for very much. It was kind of agreed to at COP26, then rolled back by Truss, and is currently up in the air with Sunak.
If the tories had actually stuck to what they agreed to just one year ago...

And slightly off topic, but women had to chain themselves to railings, go on hunger strike in prison, and kill themselves under the royal racehorses to get the vote. They are now viewed as heroes.
Trouble is that, in reaction to Putins war, a degree of ‘sustainable’ carbon fuel security is now required to ensure that we dont go deep into the 12th century style of living far too soon, meaning that we need a Plan and a Bridge over the non-existent technology the idiots say will soon come to get to the foolish ideal of stopping everything now, as these childish morons believe we can do at the flick of a switch,

Alternative tech R&D is neither quick, cheap, or guaranteed to work.

Probably a good reason for Linekar et al to STFU.

We're going to need Qatari gas for a while and the swarthy middle eastern types have never been known to act on a whim, have they?

Fair play to him for speaking out, good for him, because sucking up to despots who don't give a shit about human rights worked really well with the Russians, didn't it?
This trying to cover all of the bases sucks doesn't it? 🤔

FWIW, once Qatar was announced as host, there have been years to see the lie of the land. The ME is what it is, most of us have spent long enough on the region to know the score.

Outbursts from the media during the event may backfire on fans. Again as we're all too aware, culture and attitude differ massively. I hope it all goes well, there are, after all, far worse than the Qataris about. Providing the punters stay out of trouble, it  should all be ok, but the mindset is 'different' and far less accepting of 'our' values, or any perceived lack of them.
