Odd that the researchers didn’t distinguish between burning turf (which is of course very smoky) and burning wood; and didn’t examine the kind of stoves people use: the best stoves shouldn’t pollute at all, re-burning the smoke after burning the wood. http://www.stoveworlduk.co.uk/what-is-secondary-burn-on-a-wood-burning-stove
Person A – I like apples.
Person B – I like pears.
P. A – That’s cool.
P. B – Yeah.

Broadsheet 2018:
Person A – I like apples.
Person B – So you’re anti pears then.
P. A – No, I just prefer apples.
P. B – So you hate pears.
P. A – I never said that.
P. B – F*****g pear hater.
P. A – I don’t hate pears!
P. B – Yes you do. You make me sick.
Apparently the Dalai Lama is a neo-fascist now, after he said that “Europe belongs to the Europeans” in Malmo, Sweden earlier this week. The Left has lost any sense of real or genuine thought, and sheepishly follows the radical Leftist hatred of anyone who disagrees with them.
This is why the far Right is on the rise… identity politics; the nonsense that all cultures are equal; the refusal to push for integration; the belief in multiculturalism, even when some of its’ biggest cheerleaders, Merkel, have said that it has already failed as an experiment.
Yet, the Leftists keep pushing it… and then they wonder why the Right rises…. Ideological unthinking simpletons. That’s how people like Hungary’s Orban came about.

I’ll await the commencement of a possible exchange similar to the one I outlined above, after this :)
In fairness, buddhists have always been a shower of sectarian, racists, ethnic-cleansing bastards. The Dalai Lama is Aung San Suu Kyi in a worse dress.

The funny thing is I don’t think they even pay them in cash. Seeing their name in print is enough seemingly. Did you not see the other day someone was saying that it was a bit rich broadsheet claiming to be on the side of the worker etc while it was effectively a neoliberal sweatshop itself and Sibling I think it was came in and said he gets no money. It’s a great venue for frustrated “artists” and self-styled comedians ( Terry McMahon a case in point) with the ego of a totalitarian government, to come in and rant and bitch about what is wrong with the world and how only they have the answer. Sort of religious nuts.

A feature where you can set some commenters to ignore would be handy.
I don’t mind alternate view points but some of the vitriol poured on people here is disgusting. Especially when they do it in reply to pretty much every comment on an article.
The old Irish thing of sticking your head above the parapet comes to mind and I believe there are media professionals in the comments solely to disrupt every post and wage some sort of vendetta against the site owners.
It definitely was a more friendly place back in the day, more akin to the BOTT chat pit .

The thing is CoderNerd, it’s probably no more than one or two abrasive little weasels. They have ‘tells’ though, so it’s easy enough to spot them. In the absence of an ignore button, just scroll past them once they’ve shown their colours. I agree it’s a relatively recent thing, maybe dating back to the Kate Fitzgerald story.

ah no not Ireland again..its a deep dive into corruption/money laundering in Malta !
“The union’s least-populous member nation has become a cryptocurrency and online gambling hub plagued by allegations of corruption and money laundering. And it’s selling passports.”

Labour Party ‘unlikely’ to back British government on Brexit deal. Inching closer to remain with every statement. Basically they are letting the Tories eat themselves and then block whatever cobbled together deal is brought forward.

It will drive rents up further
Bring in rent controls like in Germany
Lads, care to explain what happened to the comments over on Frilly’s post?
I’d say since they were so mean-spirited and downright creepy, they went to the big bin in the cloud.
The ‘cloud’ was the biggest IT sales scam ever. Third party storage doesn’t sound the same somehow.
Of course you can never really delete anything once it is in the ‘cloud’.
