BBC1 S*d democracy : one seat at the Climate talks should be reserved for one of our metro-liberal overlords
David Attenborough takes the 'people's seat' at climate change talks in Poland
.. "to represent the hundreds of millions of people are around the world whose lives are about to be affected by climate change."//
No special People's Seat for the billions of PEOPLE that pay for the extra costs of Global Warming Alarmism.

I took a look at the Leeds hydrogen scheme proposal and it was a dispiriting experience.
Stupid is a broad church but by-eck there's an oversupply of it up there and in supporting gubbermint agencies....
Elsewhere - Barry O'Blimey regales TV audiences with the assertion that one reason Americans don’t want to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions is racism. (palm-forehead.... again) - what a smug prat.

Stewgreen: (From your quote):
Almost four million homes across northern England could be converted to use hydrogen gas for heating and cooking by 2034 under a £23 billion scheme to tackle climate change.That £23B would pay for what, three or four Nukes?
Furthermore, how will they produce the H? If by electricity, what sort of generator? etc etc. (palm-forehead)

I always think this potted history of migration to the UK from ancient times up to the 1950s is useful
It doesn't add up...
M Courtney:
Corporate pensions schemes have to meet actuarial standards such that the investment portfolio has an expectation of paying for the pension liabilities it incurs. That is not so for the state pension, which is, as you say, paid out of current taxation - but that is largely because National Insurance is simply tipped into the general fund. I believe it has been shown that had it been invested properly from its inception, it would have met the modest requirements to pay out our meagre pensions - at least until QE trashed annuity rates such that you now have to live to be 100 simply to get the capital back.
As to the young - while they are single they represent little burden even as low wage employees, but once they form families the burdens rapidly escalate and fall on those with larger incomes in our modern welfare state. We must remember that low wage migration is a modern phenomenon, enabled by cheap travel and open borders. Previously, migration was limited by cost and the need for real skills and a willingness to fit in.
This interactive map from Pew Research is a handy tool for looking at how migration has grown since 1990 and whence it comes.

@Tomo not an apology, cos they'll do it again.

Almost four million homes across northern England could be converted to use hydrogen gas for heating and cooking by 2034 under a £23 billion scheme to tackle climate change.
Boilers and gas cookers would need to be replaced or converted under the plan, which would add more than £50 to the annual energy bill of every UK home, according to three companies involved in gas supply. //
If something costs £23bn across 23m households ..I make that £1,000 each
their £50 must be each year for 20 years
