Darren Grimes: I Fought the Liberal Elite & Won

@Cray Fishe you have no idea what you're talking about. And as for not being bullied as a gay... I'm totally in the camp of the alphabet people really milking the system. Gay people have all the rights everybody else has and do not need anymore, but if you think they are not still bullied, you have no idea. I have two gay men in my family... one 30 and one 21. My best friend has a gay son and a gay daughter. All 4 were bullied awfully...just as bad as people were when I wax in school in the 80s (I will say with shame that I probably bullied gay people at school). The 21 year old is still bullied at his bar job by customers because we live in a working class area, not a metropolitan city. Just like Darren did when he was young. Anyway...we both have our opinions and both are valid 👍

Darren is correct about (he doesn't use the phrase) "energy poverty" - where people can't afford to pay for heating in winter.

It is far worse than you can imagine, or maybe you know... The very reason they go for 'Green' , 'Renewables' is actually nonsense.

Nuclear will go Carbon negative, unlike the 'green' options that will be positive by the time they are ready to be decommissioned ...
