Replying to @Evri_hdsk
@Evri_hdsk good afternoon tried reaching out you via phone and chat within the app but no joy . Had a parcel left yesterday plonked on the front of my daughter’s car. Parcel not easily visible from drivers seat so car used and parcel somewhere in the countryside.

“Let’s spend £4.5trillion on net zero over the next 25 years. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1.5 billion of taxpayers’ money this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by falsely claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

Just back from a morning playing hunt the top hat…. Not sure I won’t be doing the same again tomorrow but it’s the thought that counts and all that. Took young pup and Mrs G with me for a change.
