Scrap the Council's ghastly concrete 'public art' and plant trees instead!
I was walking past the old market site the other day, you know, the one they've tarted up with that ridiculously expensive metal monstrosity? Honestly, it just looks like a giant rusty paperclip. All that money, and what do we get? A blight
Scrap Net Zero targets, they're bankrupting us and ruining the countryside
The government needs to immediately scrap the legally binding net zero targets. These targets are completely unrealistic and are costing ordinary people a fortune through higher energy bills and taxes. We're being forced to pay for expensiv
Scrap the Green Belt to Save the Planet
I was cycling through the countryside last weekend and saw all these fields just sitting empty, it got me thinking about how we use land in this country. We've got a housing crisis and people can't afford to live anywhere, but at the same t
Scrap the Green Belt Sell Off
I was out walking with my kids in the Wirral countryside last weekend and we stumbled upon a sign that said a big chunk of the green belt was up for sale to developers. It made my blood boil, to be honest. The green belt is what keeps our a
Enough with the endless plastic rubbish! My bins are overflowing.
Honestly, it drives me mad seeing the amount of single-use plastic that comes through my shops. We try to use compostable cups and offer discounts for reusable ones, but so much of it just ends up in the bin anyway. It’s not just an eyesore
Enough With The Green Blob’s Virtue Signalling Already
I’m sick to death of seeing my council dig up perfectly good roads for yet another "cycle superhighway" that’s barely used, while the actual traffic grinds to a halt. It’s all performative nonsense, isn't it? They’re not actually solving an
Stop Apologising For Britain On Climate Change
I'm fed up with all this fuss about climate change being some kind of global problem that we can't do anything about. We need to stop blaming ourselves and start taking control of our own destiny. The EU's not going to save us, and neither
What's the point of offshore wind if we still burn gas at home?
Why are we spending billions building massive wind farms out at sea, only to keep relying on burning imported gas for heating and backup power? It makes no sense. We’re basically powering the turbines with one hand and then negating their b
Honestly, all this recycling feels like a waste of time if companies keep dumping plastic on us
I swear, every time I unpack an online order, I just stare at the mountain of cardboard and plastic wrap that held two tiny items. It’s beyond a joke. Even with all our efforts in Bristol to sort our recycling, you hear stories about how mu
Stop Dithering About Renewables - Let's Actually Build Them
We need to fast-track the development and installation of onshore wind and solar farms across the country. This isn't some radical idea; it's about finally getting serious with our energy security and meeting climate targets without bankrup
Enough is enough! We need a real plan to clean up our rivers, not just more platitudes.
We need to bring water companies under public control, at least temporarily, to force them to invest properly in our infrastructure. For years, they've been allowed to dump sewage into our rivers and coastlines with barely a slap on the wri
Stop letting big corporations wreck the planet and then pay pennies to clean up their mess
I'm so sick of hearing about net-zero targets while emissions keep rising. It feels like total theatre. We're all supposed to be diligently recycling and cutting down on plastic, but then you see these massive companies polluting rivers and
sort out the recycling mess already
What's the point of having all these different bins if the council's just gonna send it all to the same place anyway, I mean I've seen the blokes chucking everything in one truck, so why bother. I was talking to a customer the other day, a
Bin collection chaos is just the start – we need to get serious about local recycling
I was out with the kids the other day, trying to explain why we can't just chuck everything in one bin. We'd just seen another lorry overflowing with bags, probably heading straight to landfill, and it felt like a joke. It’s frustrating whe
Enough with the flimsy greenwashing, let's actually fund real environmental stuff
I was walking by the river last week and saw this huge pile of rubbish someone had just dumped. Plastic bottles, old tyres, bits of carpet – the lot. It’s depressing, isn’t it? You see these big government announcements about net zero and c
The Heat Is On – And So Are We, Not Brussels
Honestly, I’m sick to death of hearing politicians waffle on about the weather. Blaming anyone, whether it’s Brussels or Boris, for a heatwave is just pure distraction. We’re nurses, we see the effects of this stuff every day. People collap
Energy Security: We Need a Balanced Approach, Not Just Nuclear
I understand the frustration with the current energy situation, and frankly, the cost of living is hitting families hard. The idea that we can rely solely on intermittent sources like wind and solar is a bit optimistic, I’ll grant you that.
Why are we letting developers pave over paradise for a few extra flats?
How many more green fields can we realistically sacrifice before we admit it's not working? We keep building and building, chasing growth targets that seem to benefit no one but the construction companies and their shareholders. Meanwhile,
Ban single use everything already
What's the point of temporarily banning disposable BBQs when we know they'll be back on the shelves as soon as the heatwave passes, I mean it's just common sense to get rid of them for good. We need to stop this stop-start approach to env
Seriously, can we just tax the billionaires and fix the planet already?
It absolutely drives me mad seeing the endless reports about climate disaster while the same corporations that caused it get bailed out or get tax breaks. It feels like we're being asked to recycle harder while they're literally drilling ho
