[Why I've gone back to driving a diesel after 2 years with an EV and then 2.5 years driving a PHEV as our family car. What needs to change to get me to go back to EV?]

Harry Metcalfe is a 30+ years impartial motoring journalist (so not a modern day clickbait youtuber). He's recently posted this video discussing the topic.

Does your employer offer salary sacrifice into your company pension? If so I'd have said that would be the most tax efficient way to up your pension contributions.... {not a doctor)

SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus GX_P2V can cause 100% mortality in human ACE2-transgenic mice,

potentially attributable to late-stage brain infection.

This underscores a spillover risk of GX_P2V into humans,

and provides a unique model for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses.

A call to countries to intervene in ICJ proceedings against Israel

Best of luck to South Africa as the ICJ hearing starts this morning.

Makes me 'Putin Stooge' as well I guess. I didn't think that was a controversial position these days.

Who's is saying it's not?

Western government's (including the oppositions) and most MSM. All under control of dark forces.

Its as clear as day that the Zionists want to empty Gaza. All of this feels like a preconceived operation.

Armaghniac has been provided and appears have ignored 2 post defining 1944 and 1948 definitions of what is considered genocide... but he thinks it isn't so everyone should just go with his opinion 

Definition from the man who invented the word in 1944. It's the right word AFAIC

Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups. Genocide is directed against the national group as an entity, and the actions involved are directed against individuals, not in their individual capacity, but as members of the national group.
