Soldering is so much easier with flux - even the lead-free stuff flows easily, using that rubbish £12 ebay soldering iron.

Acid free. Might not be your thing ;)

Boris will have a lot of erections, before we're allowed an election. He'll impregnate many, befoe I get any. How anyone can shag something so execrable, is totally inexplicable. Being near to such a stench, must be quite a wrench. Write and complain, if it hurts your brain. For these criminally rhymed lines, I fear I shall do time...

(So I'll stop)

Signings have increased in frequency, after a short period of "Sneaky Sunak is PM without getting a single vote from the membership or the general public?!?!? What the hell?!?!? Guerney was right, Sunak is super sneaky" slowing down.

Boris Johnson, concern for the environment? You have to be joking.

This is yet again the Johnson self-seeking opportunism.

Sunak isn't going to COP27, nor is King Charles, so what an opportunity, in his eyes, to show himself as one of the concerned good guys to refurbish his tarnished reputation.

He's so self-centred he isn't even able to see it for what it really is, polishing a turd.

I reckon they will push up VAT. Indirect taxes are less painful than Income tax or national insurance.

Agreed. Several EU countries have a standard VAT rate of 23 to 27%, so plenty of room to manouvre there.

ic engine fuel duty too, both on environmental grounds and to rebalance the scale of the advantage for electric vehicles.

Crikey, deafening silence each time this self evident plug for our financial hole comes up on thread makes me wonder how many forumites have money in shell companies in tax havens? And are parading, bit like reformed brexiteers, ethics they never really subscribed to or believed in?

Tax havens are for multinationals and drug dealers. That is why they are of little interest. You can stash away (not so) small amount in family trusts or in case of politicians, charities and education foundations.

Sunak may disagree

Nothing like that. If the others are like me, it's simply disbelief that anything will be done since we've heard it all before.

Some of the most obvious of our problems and their causes are the ones we never properly act on, because it's not in some peoples interests to act:

Climate change.

Over population.

Poverty.

Homelessness.

Addictions.

Starvation.

Corruption.

Obscene wealth.

That says a lot about the difference between party membership and general public.
