Charlotte will you forgive me if I go off topic to deliver a very important message.

Boris Johnson would like us to reduce our usage of the thin plastic bags as much as possible, to reduce landfill and greenhouse gases and to protect our precious wildlife.

He hopes to make London a thin plastic bag free zone by 2010. Thank you so much.

“For all we know “extra people” died in the areas that had their salt requisitioned, as their councils had to restrict their gritting operations. While we;re building straw men, I could suggest you would prefer people who chose wisely at the ballot box to die to save the feckless. I Wouldn’t though, as it’s poor form.”

Like scamming the Nazis into shifting V2 delivery to South London? People get squished who might otherwise live, these are the tough questions.

Darn it – I say grit the roads of the most productive members of society, actually I don’t, because I live on a mountain, in a crime infested ghetto.

As, I was saying, I live on a freezing mountain, and so, who do the RAF borrow helicopters from? Is there a yank FOB around here they can scrounge @ ?

Not if there is a blog shortage, you could be requisitioned etc.

wh00ps –

In any case, central government’s actions in this case will surely incline local councils to be even less willing to plan properly for next winter. If they do they’ll have their planning ruined by no 10 and if they don’t they’ll be rescued at everyone else’s expense anyway.

Excellent point, dude. People (and councils) respond to incentives.

“I note that JuliaM doesn’t dispute that extra people should die to teach them a lesson about how great libertarianism is.”

I’m not a libertarian, Edward (well, I don’t think so, and wouldn’t self describe as one, though I do like a lot of the basic concepts).

But I guess we could try putting straw down instead of grit. Since you seem to have an inexhustable supply of it, I think we should requisition it from you.

I’d dispute it Edward. For all we know “extra people” died in the areas that had their salt requisitioned, as their councils had to restrict their gritting operations. While we;re building straw men, I could suggest you would prefer people who chose wisely at the ballot box to die to save the feckless. I Wouldn.t though, as it’s poor form.

Edward – I didn’t notice any one else mention your anonymous status? As no one attacked what appeared to by typos by Tom J. Perhaps you need to change your expectations people, on here people try to play the ball not the man.

I note that JuliaM doesn’t dispute that extra people should die to teach them a lesson about how great libertarianism is. I really don’t care about my own anonymous status, I just want to make it clear that this is a trade-off that they won’t deny they want to take up.

So sorry to go off topic, but Labour are setting up a special unit called Operation Stop Boris and as their weapon to fight for them in the capital, they are using Ken Livingstone. Boris will fight Ken any place any time. Boris is Ken’s nemesis, Ken can’t win. After this encounter, there ain’t gonna be no rematch!

“JuliaM and Charlotte Gore are for a world where…”

*There follows a completely false strawman that in no way sums up what either of us are actually saying, and completely ignores the main point, plus all subsequent points made in the comments*

Hello, Edward, welcome to the world of internet blogs. You’ll go far, I can tell…
