Climate Crisis: Are we doing enough?

Looks like I did.

I notice that article also mentions William's income from the Duchy of Cornwall (c£23million). He has, apparently, declined to tell us how much tax he pays on that, the article simply says he pays "a standard rate tax". He is not legally obliged to tell us how much tax he pays, but, if he chooses not to, then, the assumption may well be that he has something to hide.

I think it's 100% to treasury, but the treasury then pay the Royal Family the sovereign grant which is used for things like refurbishing Buckingham Palace.

Splitting hairs land

Sure - but the point is that what is proposed is not entirely against the principles of socialism. Although to be fair, the Labour Party is not a socialist party, even if it has socialist factions within. It wouldn't have got elected if it was.

That depends on the moment. Even Corbyn would have had a good chance at the last election.

Extremely minimal as a positive.

Whilst 'dumbest ever' is the climate change bit, it was simply Trump in his purest. Lies, lies and more lies.

So extinction is yet again 'a personal choice'.

50% vegan or 50% highly processed mush?

All rather silly. 100% would be actually noteworthy.
I slightly wonder if that quote was in context.

It's also rather silly as what they actually need to do is monitor what sells and what doesn't. If all the vegan stuff is left over at the end of the day, it rather suggests that there is no demand. If it's all the meat products then again - adjust your menu to cater for demand.

Yes that seems entirely proportionate and sensible.
