    I think that's a massive over reaction to the general situation. There are noticeable changes taking place to undo the Tory damage to the country. He and Labor are far from perfect, but to question the point of why you would vote Labour over Tory is just insanity.

    I thought shared parental leave was a legal minimum? For the uninitiated, that's where some or all the maternity leave can be given to the paternal parent, meaning there isn't an inequality.

    If they are campaigning for more for both parents, I'm not sure I am on the same page. I can see how this would make me unpopular though.

    Energy needs can be met and shouldn't be an argument for using plastic.

    The pollution could be more dependending on how you look at that statement, but making something without plastic results in less plastic pollution and you can't claim that to be an overall loss for the earth.

    Stonehenge is the ultimate troll. Thousands of years ago someone convinced a workforce to move a massive rock thousands of miles to a place it didn't belong just to mess with people who later found it with no context.

    Perhaps, but overall it's a more positive step than continuing indefinitely.

    I was only speculating about why, I have no more information available than you. It could be for blood sport, but I think that is far less likely.

    The debate around whether or not it has any effects is also fuelled by flawed conclusions on either side of the argument, I'm not wading into that mess...

    I assume there is an alternative solution to TB spread, which takes some time to set up. Also, perhaps if you've contracted and legislated that culling is take place you can't easily revert that.

    Isn't this because most waste is passed onto the consumer?

    I can't buy singles of most vegetables in my local supermarket (part of why I don't go there unless I need to). I don't need 12 lemons for the one recipe that needs zest of lemon but I have to get them and find ways to use the others.

    If I can buy singles, it's deliberately priced so you have to pay way over what you should. Most people can't afford that or aren't wired to pay more for less when less is actually appropriate for their needs.

    Then there's 3 for 2 deals, which seems to always be on stir fry kits that you have to use right away.

    My country also recently stopped putting use by dates on food, which means stuff that previous would have been wasted in the store still gets sold and so more likely is wasted at home.

    I can keep them in a little longer to get them to eat their feed, but I do enjoy letting them out while I have a coffee and watching them scratching about. It's a good idea for me to keep in mind if I need it.

    I have the same thoughts as your last paragraph, I do want to get him involved and try to educate him but I need to get the parents on the same page. I showed him their daily portion to give him an idea of how much they need and said to throw this cup of feed over tomorrow instead of the seeds. He threw it over about 30 minutes later.

    If there is no immediate risk then I can afford a little more patience, I want to be as accommodating as possible.

    They are social creatures, 1 would get lonely! 3 was the smallest quantity the breeder would part with at once for this reason. (She would sometimes do pairs if she understood the reason and who they were going with.)

    The males are really noisy and aren't really necessary for happy hens, so most people don't keep them as far as I know. I would like to have a male and raise chicks at some point in my life, but I live in the suburbs and couldn't do that to my neighbours (or myself). If I ever retire to the country and have enough space I would like to do it.

    Thanks, I think this is what I was expecting but I wasn't sure if there was a risk of causing some kind of digestive problem. I read about packed up / hard gizzards and all kinds of diseases before getting my hens and I am a bit of a worrier.

    Hello From A New Chicken Keeper

    First I want to say hello, I have only 3 lovely chickens to start off with as I learn the ropes. Secondly, my neighbours son is absolutely obsessed with the chickens. It's really nice, but he is also feeding them huge amounts of wild bird seed and I'm a little worried. There are mounds of the stuff being poured over the fence! I have spoken to his parents nicely and asked them to stop him doing so, which they understand. In case this doesn't get resolved quickly, is there any danger that this can cause harm to my chickens?

    There are some frightening situations that are impacted by not having cash in a society. I don't think of them all because they are largely to do with vulnerable and less privaledged people, but one that stuck with me was someone in an abusive relationship would benefit from being able to save cash for the moment they are able to escape. I suppose buying nasty sex shit is another.

    Fast food should be expensive.

    I get that until recently it was considered normal and relatively cheap, but you are literally paying someone else to make food for you. It can't be sustainable without exploitation of workers and/or animal welfare to have that available to the majority of people on a regular basis. If you can only afford fast food as a luxury, to me that seems like a good thing.

    I was given a Montsera(?) cutting and I don't really know if this leaf is too wrinkled? It's a minefield trying to read about and understand if I have over or under watered. I just don't know what this plant actually wants. My usual approach is to assume I have over watered if a plant looks unhappy, but I don't know if these bounce back after a period of under watering, if I hold back on watering more now.
