I favour public stonings, its a much better participation sport.......fun for all the family

Maybe Mr Brown would participate in the next rotten egg throwing championships.............Obviously he would be the target ;D ;D ;D


Eggs.....I was thinking more along the lines of road stone.

Just get them bleeding and damaged enough so they can be taken to hospital to die a slow miserable death from MRSA.

Yeah; taken to hospital via a long route with lots of speed humps
 ;D ;D ;D

I feel I need to let off a bit of steam. The World now seems a place that is out of control. And it all seems man made.

For instance

The global demand for bio fuels has meant that there are less crops for food, hence the great hike in prices of wheat and other cereals crops.

Because these have gone through the roof animal feeds have had a knock on effect on dairy products, such as butter, milk and eggs.

What with the oil prices shooting ever upwards, our daily shopping bills have rocketed skywards.

I almost feel dare I say it that the blame lays fair and square with our Governments around the World.

What would you do? Put them in a dark room and throw away the key? Or maybe you agree with them and want to shake their hand?

Whatever delights you have instore for them let us all know now :y :y :y

Have a revolution, with the restored Vulcan bomber 558 doing a bombing run over Parliament! ;) ;)

No, seriously before Smillies People knock on my door, we must all make our vote count at the next General Election, thinking very carefully about the policies various parties / individuals represent.  Make Politics Matter for you, ignoring the lies and falsehoods, with the real truth voted for. :y :y  We are the People, and we must remind all Politicians that they represent us in our non-representative, indirect, imperfect democracy! >:( >:(

I have always wanted to win the lottery - pay to restore XR220 to flying condition and then bomb Dennis Healeys house - with him in!

I bet a lot would chip in to get the bl**dy traitor!

Do you know how many polititians I trust, not necessary agree with but actually trust?

Three

Yes just three.

1 Old Labour (I dislike his party but this man did a lot of good for UK industry)
2 Conservative.

I am a natural just right of centre politically and a bit of a libertarian but I have always noticed honourable intentions.*

There is your clues - guess the people.

Clues

Extreme left wing who few people agree with.
Best chancellor of recent years.
The loser of a run off a couple of years ago.

MTDM will get the middle one straight away

* This means private enterprise rather than state ownership and allow people freedom rather than be kept on umpteen databases.

What, for the bumming? Well it takes all sorts.

According to those in the know, Europe's cunsumption of food grain for biofuel is less than 2% of total production. Nowhere near enough to inflate prices in the way we have seen. So, actually, the whole biofuell broo-ha ha is another column inch filling fallacy.

IMO, media like the Daily Mail and the BBC are more responsible than the Government. For both the backlash on biofuels and the general perception that the end is very, very nearly nigh.

So is it a fallacy that it takes a field of biocrop, equivilant to a football field, to produce enough fuel to fill a 4x4's tank just once?  :o :o :o

My post was about the impact of biofuel on the current increase in prices, as stated earlier in the thread. Whether it takes 50 kg of grain or a football field is kind of irrelevant. There are millions of football fields worth of land to grow it on. And farmers ready to be paid for it.

It also takes only a bit less than a 4x4 to fill my MV6. Does that make me a villain too? Or is 1x4 - well - just ok?
