Love these compilations but can you put some kind of a time-stamp to show when these clips were first aired, please?

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Nope, they'll never do that, Shirley - it's not how running a YT account works. They don't _want_ you to know if you've seen it before - they just want you to click play! A digital agency's sole raison d'etre is clicks, views, comments, and likes for their client = more exposure = front page of YT = more ad revenue. Also drives people to new show on Sky. Which in turn gives RH's agent better bargaining power over RH's future fees. This channel isn't operated for our convenience!

It's called gaslighting. Crank the prices up to stupid levels then 'reduce' them so people feel like they're doing us a favour.

[@passiv_5602]

Gaslighting is a myth

[@221b-Maker-Street]

It's psychologically manipulative, but it's not technically gaslighting - where the victim questions their _perception of reality_ literally believing themselves to be going mad - leading to psychological dependence on their perpetrator. A good political eg is the Stasi - as late as the 1970s - employing state-sanctioned psychological harassment techniques designed to paralyse political dissidents - they even had a name for it - *_Zersetzung._* (good Wiki page if you're into research) I think what you've described is straightforward deception.

That's cause the Europeans, and especially the British destroyed all their storage cause of the green push, which has understandably had a knock on affect for prices. Europe which has more nat gas than the US and used to produce more nat gas than any other continent. So yeah it's very reasonable to blame these prices on green policies, since countries that didn't go the green route (to our extreme) had prices 1/10th of ours!!

[@vylbird8014]

It's not going down. Inflation is still high, but falling: That means things are getting more expensive still, just not as quickly. A little bit of inflation is needed for a modern economy to function, but only a little - around one or two percent. We're closer to ten right now.

[@bogiesholdtheweight]

The fuel shortage was because of Covid but not how you might think. During lockdown people used cars far less than they would normally. Petrol and Diesel have a shelf life nowadays. The fuel not sold during lockdown was in danger of "going off" so they hyped up the fuel shortage crisis, everyone panicked and all the nearly out of date fuel got sold.

[@paulatavares5220]

Yep - and as a HGV driver all through this(last 8 years) the only jobs that can't get drivers - are jobs from companies that should be arrested and closed down - as had plenty wanting driver's to break the law, drive unsafe vehicles as they don't want to spend the money - had more than a few like that with agencies - that is why it is the same companies advertising all the time for HGV drivers, and 9 times out of 10 all the driving staff there are agency and been there less than a year. The HGV transportation industry needs serious over hall to protect the drivers - as must issue the driver can get up to £5,000 fine or up to 2 years in jail, vs the management well if you don't do it you are sacked (had that more than a few times) Hence why I am now looking at going back to accounts and office work. Love HGV driving - meet some real good people in that industry - it just isn't worth it.

At no time ever have I ever wanted to be, see or meet anyone famous for any reason.

(Other than Janeane Garofalo), never had any desire to meet any famous people. I think I would donate a toe to sit at the dinner table with Russell and his family (mother, dad & brother) if they promised to stay, drink and tell stories till they were too drunk to go on. As long as I am dreaming, invite Stephen Frye and Ricky Gervais since Christopher Hitchens (THE man who set me free) is no longer available. You da man Russell

[@rianmacdonald9454]

Pretty much same here - enjoy movies and music - but not interested in the whole celebrity scene - but there are many people I would like to meet -Stephen Frye and Ricky Gervais, being among them - but my list tends to more be physicist, scientist. I value knowledge, and so people like Prof B. Greene, Mr R Dawkins, Ms M Thaller, Ms A Mainzer, Prof. M Kaku, Prof N D Tyson, Prof B Coz, Mr R Atkinson but to name a few - there are some Like Mr E Simmons(DMX-Def Jam), Rihanna, Ms Tanya Stevens, Elephant Man, Mr K Reeves, Creators of South Park Matt and Trey, and admittedly celebrity crush Ms Dua Lipa, again but to name a few - but in all cases my interest is in them as a person not their celebrity status.

I don't think being in the EU would help with the driver shortage problem considering the same thing happened in France and Germany.

We can have good immigration policy without the EU, just the tories are possibly the worst people for the job.

[@rianmacdonald9454]

Almost there - they weren't an '' incompetent government.'' They never wanted it to work, so they could force UK back into the eu. Everything possible was done to create delays and disturbance. So that they could turn and go ''See we need to be in the eu'' - a lot of back handed deals were going on, plus many of those in charge over Brexit - guess where they and their families have huge amounts of shares - and stood too loose small fortunes if we left.
