If you live in Devon and Cornwall and are actually local, then you would be bloody lucky to rent a house let alone own one, actual local poverty for people in Plymouth through to Cornwall is comparable and in some parts worse than Manchester, Liverpool etc. Far from being wealthy, we have an immense amount of poverty. We do have a lot of wealthy people who own second homes but arent actual locals. UK national average of a take home pay of 40k a year Plymouth and Cornwall average out at 31.6 and 31.3 k average per year, infact compare that to Liverpool’s average of £36 k, or Manchester’s Bury of 32.6 K and you ll see that here in the South West far from being this place of super wealthy locals, we arent we just happen to have a bunch of wealthy second property owners feeding into the dire housing crisis.

Milton Keynes does have defining planning characteristics: more green space per person than other UK cities, and an actually functioning road network. The problem with the new build proposals is that they're going to cram more people into high density housing, reduce public green space, and change the new areas' road networks into the gridlock mess other UK cities experience. The housing absolutely needs building, but stick to the things which the original planners identified as metropolitan issues in UK cities and improved on.

Vapes are great to use to stop smoking - but I'd be curious to see what percentage of vape usage actually is as a tobacco replacement. Anecdotally, perhaps not a lot. We ABSOLUTELY should be dissuading people from vaping recreationally. Just like we didn't understand the impact smoking has when that was commercialised, we don't fully understand the affect vaping has. It is pretty much guaranteed to be better for you than smoking, but numerous studies being released all the time are highlighting lung damage and heart damage being potentially major issues. If you want to take a more libertarian approach then fine, but if you're also in favour of tobacco/alcohol regulation, this makes perfect sense. It's not as bad, but it's a drug that likely causes harm.

I think expect it to be called by end of May and held mid July, its the most logical time within the constraints of the January cut-off. You consider, that is the time of year when people are off work and on holiday possibly abroad and those are more likely to vote Labour and along with that the weather at home is normally good which plays on the psychology of people like it or not especially older people in terms of getting them out of the house to mark the ballot. If they have thought about it and are not simply waiting for good news July seems most sensible to me !!

With regards rape conviction rates, I was a juror on a rape trial a few years ago. I don't know if the rules about giving details about discussions in the jury room extend beyond the conclusion of the trial so I'm deliberately being vague: was at least 1 juror who said he's guilty and at least 1 who said she's lying. In my opinion the prosecution didn't make the case of his guilt, and I was not alone in that view. The case was settled on a majority verdict of 10-2 or greater that he was not guilty. There were at least 3 female jurors. In my very limited experience the standard of evidence and the case as a whole needs to improve drastically.

Re vapes, it's technically illegal to buy liquid nicotine concentrate in bulk unless you're a business. So the common standard of making your own is to pose as a business to buy bulk nicotine to mix with flavouring and propylene glycol. Its very easy and costs about a hundredth of the shite you buy in the shop.

The reason for the 10ml thing was because of Europe, and you could only sell E juice with nicotine in 10ml amounts. What happened is that you would buy 100ml of juice, with no nicotine in it, then buy 2 x 10ml of nicotine shot to mixing with your juice. So now we are at the point of a £1 tax on 10ml of vape juice that does not contain nicotine, just balance them out with cigarettes, that contian nicotine. So your are getting taxed for not having nicotine. Also they are taxing the nicotine shots as well @ £3 for a 10ml shot, so something that would cost you £12, is now going to cost you £28, and that is before VAT.

@geordievillan5 ай бұрын
... you could even use a fog machine to mass vape a room - but the logical question to add when discussing vaping is: wtf would anyone want to smell like bubblegum? You look at the £ people spend on hygiene and deodorant/ perfume, and it sortta seems backwards to then spoil it by wanting to smell like a raspberry whipple. Unless you are already a nicotine addict - why would you want to? It's not 'cool'. It's no longer fed to the masses as being a part of sexual rituals in the way that smoking after an orgasm once was (unfortunately)... And if you are already a nicotine addict... well, quit. Use vaping to help you if you need to. Take you a couple of months. In the 21st century, the idea that anyone is still addicted to smoking is ludicrous. Our culture becomes ever more focused on heealth and individuality, and yet we still allow mass religion and smoking to be a part of the social discourse sans social stigma.... bonkers. Which leaves the argument for vapes as an industry being... what? Has to be tax income. because, otherwise it's just bloody stupidity. I'm happy to be enlightened if i'm missing something here, but it genuinely seems to me that the only reason teens vape is to rebel, and beyond that people are doing it purely because monkey see. And if that's the case, where's the harm in simply out lawing it entirely. Utterly destructive industry from an environmental p.o.v. with so limited social benefits that I fail to see them.... Oh, and the tories always do this whenever Labour have popular ideas. Its standard tactic, and they always get away with it. Heck, it was basically the only policy the George Osborne had besides lying through his teeth, but even back in the 90's it was the same. Take Labour ideas, twist them to serve the rich and hope no1 notices.
