Dont get me started on what CCC do to our trees. I’d make Grendel look like Ann Lucas.

How on earth do you maintain a tree? There are frigging thousands of them huddled together in the New Forest & similar. They just grow if left alone. Anyone that gets too close just needs to be reminded of the risk they are taking by moving closer to the tree!

They’re vulnerable while they’re small and need watering and maintaining. Apparently it’s a real issue with some tree planting schemes.

Why do you need a machine to plant a sapling? 3 men and 3 spades will do it. You seem to be working on the premise that that it’s going to be down to one single object that’s got to do this work solidly on its own over 20 years. You need to add a dose of reality to your thinking.

To balance out the fact that there is probably a machine (chainsaw) that allows 1 man to take em down far quicker than 3 men can plant em!

Yup because the upper pay scale goes over £40k and senior leadership roles can go anywhere up to £90-100k. Mind you it was considerably easier to go up the pay ladder when promotion was automatic

High turnover of staff keeps the average down as well.

You think getting through a full grown tree with a chainsaw takes longer than dropping a sapling in a small hole and covering the roots with dirt?

Your education might make you (at least in your mind) some sort of master of of physical science...but ONLY in that.

Take it to Armageddon proportions, would it help you find food any better than an unqualified soldier or even apprentice football player?

These interviews and panels are not likely to influence most of us when we put our cross in the box imo

Just provide a bit of a chance to vent about the opposition's policies

Not sure I believe that myself, but while people are ranting or sneering about him not (yet) appearing...they aren't picking more holes in the manifesto are they? Like being lured into a false position of strength only to be slapped down when he does appear a few days pre-election

Think about factoring in the time & effort involved in getting the sapling to the point of dropping it into said hole!

Hmmm yes nice analagy..... using armageddon to try and dismiss someone who clearly knows a lot about the science behind climate change. Very odd behaviour.

Since I don't teach it that might be difficult. But I could always teach you some basic climate science instead?

I'm surprised at that amount for primary teachers. What that shows is that it is a profession now top heavy with inexperienced teachers at the bottom end of the pay scale. After about 5 years from an NQT you should be up to £30,000 and beyond that you need to cross the threshold to earn more . Clearly the number of teachers leaving the profession before they get to that grade is huge.

So.

Boris gets in.

Boris gets Brexit “done”.

Boris doesn’t extend the implementation period.

We leave without a deal.

In that scenario Boris will have to borrow more than Labour are currently planning to borrow according to the IFS.

How are we going to pay for that?

So apparently it’s for others to decide if Boris can have an interview with Andrew Neil. Isn’t Boris supposed to be the leader? Who exactly is running the Conservative Party? Not Boris. Apparently.

A General Election in which the environment is the third biggest issue that voters are concerned about. You simply can’t discuss the general election if you’re not talking about the major issues and the environment is one of those.

The Tory MP Brandon Lewis on the QT panel in leave and Conservative voting Swindon isn’t get a good reception at all. Surprising.

Lionel Shriver is just awful also.

Yeah...let's face it he/she is just superscilliously focusing on an area they can massage their own ego with. Which is not what we are here to discuss.

Climate important...BSBs blabbering about his/her supposedly superiority on the matter isn't
