    Didn’t the US have pasta in jello?

    By 1930, there appeared a vogue in American cuisine for congealed salads, and the company introduced lime-flavored Jell-O, to complement the add-ins that cooks across the country were combining in these aspics and salads. Popular Jell-O recipes often included ingredients like cabbage, celery, green peppers, and even cooked pasta.[10]

    “scrapping” the BBC

    As I already said, it’s the licence fee, not the BBC. The licence fee is unfit for 2026 and it should be scrapped.

    stopping the boats (any method that really does it will be basically either impossible or illegal)

    How is that a “putin policy”? Russia are the ones behind it - look at Baltic/Russian borders for illegal crossings facilitated by Russia and Belarus. Not a Russia friendly policy at all. You’re wrong.

    defending our borders (more insular isolationism is what Putin really loves)

    Listen to yourself. Which country in the world doesn’t defend their borders? Wrong

    deporting illegal migrants (which would quickly become an ICE-style scandal deporting natives who look different and dwarf the Windrush scandal)

    How tiresome. Is that Russia friendly? No. Wrong again!


  • We’ll have to wait 50 years to know, but even if we are, it’ll be much much less under any sane government, but it would be more if left to Reform.

    No, it’s a certainty. You and the other user are fixated on CCGT generation. My reply was to the other user, not you. They said “Gas will not last another 50 years at all.” and I am saying it has more uses than CCGT.

    It’s absurd to accuse someone of cherry-picking and then cherry-pick a time when the National Energy System Operator has invited bids for the Demand Flexibility Service because the price of gas-generated electricity is too high.

    No it’s not. They looked at a dashboard at 22:30 and tried to portray the UK as if it is representative of a peak usage time. Let’s see how those stats are today… oh, 50% is generated by CCGT (gas) at 7pm, cool. That was my point.

    A majority, but not a supermajority. Only about 60% of UK homes burn gas for heating despite all the encouragement and inducement since the 1970s in a scandal that makes promotion of diesel cars look like playschool stuff, and a farcical and pathetic target-missing attempt to encourage heat pumps in the last 10 years (target: 600,000 heat pumps per year by 2028, latest number I’ve seen: 91,000 per year and no, that’s not missing a digit).

    Wrong. It’s closer to 85%. Where did you get the 60% figure from? I’m not replying to your irrelevant addon about heat pumps (go back up this chain to remind yourself of what we’re talking about)

    So? Buying gas and thereby driving the market price up is enough to benefit Russia. When you hear a gas boiler roar, it’s helping fund Putin.

    They sell it for far less.
