  @Fife4Europe@mastodon.scot And subside the production of Steel with deep mine coal?? Assuming you could find folk desperate enough to spend their lives digging it out and suffering the silicosis miners often did, dying young??

  https://uk.news.yahoo.com/starmer-accused-unpicking-brexit-uk-110033260.html About time he just decided to do it, and reclaim the high ground... Those that wanted BREXIT and are the target audience for this s*** are NEVER going to vote for him, and those that would require him to get closer!!! 48% is the minimum that have wanted to return since 2016... And now it's reported to be 60% that want a better relationship!

  The Far Right is still attacking the EU, from both without and within pushing against supporting Ukraine for Russia and Russia itself using misinformation to erode support for the EU and at the same time supporting Right Wing, anti-EU parties like those in Hungary. https://notesfrompoland.com/2026/04/07/polands-economy-42-larger-thanks-to-eu-membership-finds-new-study/

  I have been rereading a book I first read in my youth, (and allowing it's by R Heinlein and so is filled with some right wing views) it did strike me when I read this damming of the popularist nonsense about "too many experts", "common sense" and the like! "I remembered a time when my grandmother had asked me to explain television to her—the guts, not the funny pictures. There are things which cannot be taught in ten easy lessons, nor popularized for the masses; th...

  @ReggieHere@mastodon.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social " ...the Westminster parties would do well to implement PR just to stay in contention..." The problem is that, the only folk wanting PR are the ones that aren't expecting to win under FPTP. So Labour, under Blair's predecessors, were moving towards PR. then when elected....lost interest. Labour before the last election ... again talking about it but.... The only folk ever to put a version to the public was the minority...

  @ahltorp@mastodon.nu @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk Interesting they say "It's no secret that iPhones live longer than Android phones." But quote no studies or such to support that statement Most iPhone users I know change their phones out every 2 years because their contract allows that (which they pay through the nose for) or if they own it sell it off for a good price second hand. Personally I brought my android handset in November 2022 and am not in the market for anything new s...

  @MarcusMASTO@mas.to @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk Of course you could do as most of the US billionaires do and build rockets or try and undermine democracy with buying up media and AI tech and get it supporting Far Right policies and nutters.

  @Trikkitt@mastodon.social @volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip cont: As to mobile phones it is true that it is cheaper in the first month or two that renting a handset with inclusive calls is cheaper, BUT if you keep the phone for a couple of years it'll be cheaper over the whole period so yes if you have no capital, and NEED a phone it is a means of entry However as with all such business models, ultimately the cost of the equipment + the cost of the calls + the cost of any repairs must be less tha...
