I am shocked she told Crick on Ch4HDNews
she is staying for 2 years.


On twitter they are saying Go

The cold really is no excuse, her lack of preparation is absolutely mental, how can you come on and say you're going to build 500,000 homes and then act completely taken aback and have no idea how to respond when someone asks the incredibly simple question 'how are you going to pay for that?'

Oh...the conservative magazine the spectator, FT not good enough?

It begs the question if this journo dislikes Brightons green run council so much why did he choose to live there?...

to get enough words to twist and issues to exaggerate

The FT article is hardly that favourable, won't let me read it now without registering but it still talks about the farce of the bin collections, the Greens becoming plagued by infighting and disagreements, and local politics generally becoming a bit of a circus

FT is also right-wing and therefore anti-green.

Or maybe those things just did actually happen? Not everything is a conspiracy from one side of the political spectrum against the each other. The FT is actually pretty smack bang centrist anyway.

By any rational definition they are centrist. And actually I have just managed to read the article again and it is very balanced and does give attention to Green successes in Brighton as well as their screw ups. I suspect you didn't read it before you dismissed it as another 'right wing' conspiracy.

If it is balanced then I am glad, but a lot of stories I have read on there are right-wing biased so I don't pay much attention to them .

That is ridiculous. I like the bit about the bin men going on strike and the greens sympathisisng and joining them on the picket line.

It's balanced... It also highlights some successes too, I don't know any town or city that hasn't had peaks and troughs under this government due to reduced council funding.

Never mind the FT.

Incompetent leaders aside.The Greens if ever in power would run this country into the ground.
They have no clue what the hell they're doing.They'd leave us defencless with no full time military,No nuclear weaponary,They'd leave us powerless and dependant on the weather to run our homes and cities and put us back into the dark ages and god only knows what would happen to our infrastructure and transport.
They are dreamers with no experience of running a country and no clue how to do it and i suspect with any luck most of their insane ideas would fade away one by one as reality set in.

The weather is the one constant... sun, wind, tide.

For residential power what's the problem?

It's unpredictable,unreliable and takes up huge amounts of land and probably money to harness enough energy to power even one city,Nevermind a whole country.
I've seen those wind turbines in the sea and they look awful and you need hundreds if not thousands of them to generate relatively little power.
The beaches and countryside would be littered with the things.
Not here for the lights flickering on and off whenever the weather is'nt behaving as we hope.
Nuclear is the only realistic constant reliable energy source for now but i'm gonna bet the Greens don't subscribe to that view.

I did say residential.. I don't see what's wrong with solar.
I don't subscribe to that either, nuclear+ fracking= death.
