Farage isn’t daft, he knows his demographic are ignorant idiots and he knows exactly the sort of bigotry and conspiracy theory they’ll buy. A master spiv.

Of course it does. Having kids costs an awful lot of money. That’s why many don’t have offspring they can’t afford to raise.

I`d miss the fun of going to the polling station and it`s hardly arduous, being only a hundred yards away.

If he`s going from Stanstead I hope he has a good protection squad on it....oh, er.....

I suspect he knows his demographic. Yes, he’s doing some daft light-hearted attention-seeking stunts, but his personal backstory as carer to a disabled son and genuine belief in social care and the environment will hit home in a lot of nice leafy upper middle-class suburbs where folk are horrified by the current venal far-right Conservative Party, but still wouldn’t vote for any Labour Party. Davy took some real damage on QT last night over Horizon and the LD’s part in the Cameron government, and deservedly so, but I suspect they’ll do well on July 4th and take quite a few Tory seats. I think they’ll have a good night.

Again, it’s down to choices. If you live in a one bed flat and can’t afford somewhere suitable, probably best not to have 6 kids. If you do, don’t be surprised that you don’t have a lot of space.

Go ahead and try living without the products.

You don't see any need to reduce our use of fossil fuels?
There is no energy transition. Renewables are just adding an incremental supply to an increasing fossil-fuel base. Nothing the UK government can do will make the slightest difference to global climate. All they can do is implement policies that will make us all poorer.
Of course but it is completely unrealistic without a drastic reduction in standard of living. It is a global problem. Developed nations de-industrialisng and shifting their emissions to China and India is fiddling at the edges.

Per capita emissions in India are less than half the UK. The US and Canada have the largest emissions per capita.
Catastrophic environmental collapse will have drastic impact on standard of living.
They can promise the world as they know they won't be in government. When they were in government they did quite a lot of backtracking.

I got a postal vote because I'll be travelling on the day. However I might still get to proxy vote for my son who lives abroad if I get home soon enough!
