@Hepworthclare Charles paid 45% tax (higher rate income tax) on the income from the Duchy of Cornwall, which I think is higher than corporation tax. He doesn't personally own the Royal estates (nor did the Queen) so they're not inherited and the revenue goes into the state treasury.

@TechnoTim2011 Yes we could have been exporting and making huge money during the crisis in Europe. Our cable should be taking it to Europe from our massive coastal wind capacity and also tidal opportunities. But oh no, we went over to importing gas by ship, at last minute prices. Utter lunacy.

They got us all paying with plastic cards so that we wouldn't notice that you have to take out twice as much money from the cash machine to buy the week's necessities. The pound's worth about two shillings in old money. Thanks to Brexit. We need to arrest the criminals.
RT @Nissemus: Well done, Brexit & Tory voters!

RT @TomFranklin: #Fracking is too dangerous. We cannot afford to frack because it will is vast quantities of water (we have a water shortage), pollute the water supply AND release huge quantities of methane into the atmosphere. Also UK geology is not suitable.

@willbramhill I suppose his investment manager must have mentioned that they've bought shares in it. But will he include research and development for clever kinds of tide and wave power and storage? And permission for onshore wind & solar which are the least disruptive to nature? I hope so.

RT @ClimateDad77: Capitalist fossil-fueled business as usual is rendering our planet unlivable.
It will kill us all.

Our ‘leaders’ are funded by capitalist fossil-fueled business as usual.

The media is a propaganda machine for capitalist fossil-fueled business as usual.

You see the problem.

💰 Renewables are cheaper and better for our environment than gas and oil

😡 But the #Tories are relaxing rules on #fracking and pushing nuclear which will take years to be ready!

Imagine working in an industry where you're required to pretend to yourself and others that you're not killing people and that it's OK to go on selling the stuff. Remember tobacco advertising?

@ggverte @EmilyKerr36 I can't think why anyone would want to remove them. They help to avoid silly ambiguities. I can see why you might want to legislate to *insert* them in health-care and prescriptions to avoid accidents.
