Better start saving for next winters fuel bills

Today petrol has jumped by 2p a litre on the forecourt, gas has almost doubled in price so we can expect a deepening of the cost of living crisis. Thank you very much to Donal Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu....not.

Ok nobody I know liked the regime in Iran, but just blowing them up was never going to work, did it not occur to them that the Iranians would fight back? The clerical regime in Iran is just as entrenched as the Catholic Church, you wouldn't expect to blow up the pope and St Peters in Rome and have no one to take over. I'm sure the Iranian regime has just as much structure and fall backs as the Catholic Church does. Now we all seem to be getting dragged in, I'm really pleased Starmer said NO to Trump using our bases, there's no legal basis for this war and I suspect that as ever America just wants us along to help with the death toll, it's about time a British PM didn't follow the US blindly into its foreign wars.

Whats even worse, is that from everything they keep saying, they don't even know why they went to war in the first place and as ever theres no plan for what ahppens when the war ends.

    Is this really just a health forum?

    Isn't it a fora where autistic people can talk without all the nonsense that comes from being in an NT world?

    Just because were ND dosen't mean we live in a bubble with world affairs not effecting us. It would be good if this thread didn't get polarised, but that is largely up to us who post on this thread.

    I don't believe I'm the only person who feels the need to talk about things like this, it scare's me and I'm interested in politics, with the autistic tendency to rumminate about things, we need to be open and talk about what we feel and this should mean everything not just things that can be put in a box lable AUTISM. We're intelligent adults, (well most of us) and should be allowed to speak about things that concern us all.

    There seems to be a worrying amount of End Times rhetoric being encouraged in the US military, many in the military are uncomfortable with this.

    The energy price cap only lasts until July after that prices could jump just like they did after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

    It seem every time we here anything from Trump or any of his team the reasons for going to war change, I think the real reason is because he wanted to and anyting else is just an excuse. To turn around that massive floatilla he'd sent there without a shot being fired, could have been seen as some sort of defeat or weakness.

    Now they're talking of boots on the ground, so much for no more forever wars, I'm not surprised many of Trumps MAGA base are unhappy. Of course a war is a nice distraction from all those distressing Epstein files and what Trump really knew and/or did

  • My first observation is we need to be very careful. What is happening is the most important event affecting all of us. But it is politically charged. And we need to be thoughtful when discussing political matters on a health forum. Certainly, there is already a huge and very worrying polarisation developing. We must not follow the mob and start baying for blood or blindly defending any side. If we do the Mods will have to pull the thread.

    We could no longer fight our way out of a Paper Bag. And America smells blood. They can tap into the disaffected Young Men, who draw influence from Ancient History and Medieval Culture, in order to shape their destiny here. While the likes of myself had to go to Uni. Expressionless

    Thanks for the reminder. I need to negotiate an improved deal for the, forthcoming, contract renewal.

  • I‘ve heard that there are people over here that are upset, even in the MAGA camp, because this deviates from Trump’s promises to keep America out of the Mideast. BUT there are of course plenty of people still saying that we should trust Trump’s judgement on this.
