Vince was just the usual rabid green thinking wally - the worst performer by far. Everything is underfunded so just just tax everything harder and stick NI on CGT and then cut oil and gas production and invest heavily in green energy which will solve the GDP problem with twice as many jobs in oil and gas being produced. Then, in answer to where these jobs would be filled from, had the temerity to state that they would be filled by transferring skills from the lost oil & gas jobs - I think I see a bit of a flaw in that wonderfully thought through strategy - just a complete t
t.
I'm glad it's not just me that thinks that Dale Vince is a weapons grade fool. He is so blinded by his green agenda that he blurts out these nonsense strategies without a hint of pragmatism. The other day he was on the radio insisting that North Sea gas could be replaced with biogas, which would involve converting all our arable and dairy land to grass production; the grass would then be composted, in essence. "What about food production?" he was asked, and blithely replied that we could just import all our food needs. He also has no idea, he says, what Just Stop Oil do with the money he donates to them. He's a hippy eco warrior pretending to be a serious thinker; file under 'fool', I say. Vince was just the usual rabid green thinking wally - the worst performer by far.

t.It's not like he's exactly given away all his green energy spoils so far is it?

Dale, like green energy, requires subsidy from us so energy is cheaper for us...
[btw I'm not knocking the idea of green energy, but like almost everything at the moment, the execution is poor, costs high and there is no acknowledgment of the nature - a complex system - which knocks on to the planning and joining up of everything. It's piecemeal patching atm - see respective political party positions]

I thought he presented very well.
Cranked I know you feel compelled to do the tribal contrarian thing but seriously?His performance was a skipfire.
Mercer was under attack of course, but he done well batting away most of the comments.

the 4/5 year cycle. only way to stop it is to make it apolitical and for such strategic initiatives form a cross party group to deliver.https://davidturver.substack.com/p/demolishing-dal...

What a load of ignorant gufftraps; this programme needs putting out of its misery or far stricter criteria for picking people for the panel. Randoms off the street would be as poorly informed.
It used to be really quite interesting at times. The downturn in quality can't purely be down to Bruce taking over the reigns, there's a large team involved in selecting the panel & questions, but the host change and covid did no favours (and I was never a particular fan of Dimbleby).Even the way some of the audience members can have their minute of bizarre ramblings and then there be no response before they leave things unchecked and go onto the next nutter is grating on me now. It used to be mildly amusing to see what kind of lunatics are out there and voting.
I know the panel is supposed to be representative but I'd have expected some kind of expert on climate change and net zero policies to be on this week, maybe they're all booked up elsewhere.
Tonight BBC1 10.40pm
It's from "up North" and that means only one woman can be on from Labour she has won 3 elections and is actually the real angel of the north. She has northness in her fibre
Lisa Nandy
The others don't matter this all about the Nandy
