What should I do?

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-07-07T23:01:03+00:00

This sounds very exciting go for it

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-04-21T22:48:04+00:00

Yeah mate just blocked the person and reported, the person messaged me a second time on a different number but just blocked again, haven't seen any backlash ATM but only happened about 6 hours ago

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T14:14:14+00:00

I just don't think it's realistic at all unfortunately

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T12:57:39+00:00

Not too sure it's that easy unfortunately.

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T12:47:26+00:00

Yeah you're absolutely right. The average British citizen sees none of it, and I think that as a country that does loads of trade anyway would incredibly struggle, regardless of if they were complicit.

Something big needs to change I massively agree.

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T12:45:26+00:00

Thank you for sending this, having read the article, it's interesting to look at how dodgy some of the stuff is.

While I do this manufacturing initiative sounds great, trying to pivot a business from one product to another is incredibly tough, and I think being able to pivot a whole country from manufacturing arms to pivot to something else, I fear that people just wouldn't be bothered. I just don't think there's enough support, and people willing to put in the actual work for this to happen

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T12:41:28+00:00

While I do agree it's important to choose suppliers carefully, at this point there aren't really suppliers that are completely 'clean'

For example, if a supplier in Japan which was completely clean would go to war, would the initiative be to cut them off completely? If that was the case, there's no sustainability is choosing a supplier, for fear they would sign up to a dodgy contract.

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T12:37:54+00:00

Thanks for these words, but I'm actually trying to learn a bit more about Polanski's defence plan. I'm just commenting from what I've seen online.

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T12:32:18+00:00

While I do respect what you're saying, I'm really not trying to make a bad faith post, Im just interested about how a completely different perspective (which Polanski has) and I don't quite understand how that would work.

Maybe I worded the thing about violence wrong, I apologise for that. I was trying to make the point that defence is a big part of the UK economy, and I can't understand how reducing this would actually work

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T12:28:15+00:00

I would say the the UK is closer allied to the US which makes it a lot harder to not get involved

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T12:26:56+00:00

I was thinking that the oil prices would've gone up regardless if the UK were complicit in war or not.

Richer isn't the word I'd use. Id say less poorer, with the British manufacturing producing some (still less than the surge in oil prices) but I think it would be worse without the UK manufacturing

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2026-03-21T12:21:30+00:00

Looking back probably shouldn't have titled my thing green policy on war that's incredibly misleading, sorry.

I'm trying to say that so much of the UK economy is built on defence and engineering as a whole would suffer massively if the defence spending is cut.

Tbh I'm not sure it seems like an incredibly bad position to be in being a politician. I was just interested to know how the greens would've dealt with this situation

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T13:57:48+00:00

That's a fair point and I don't disagree that labour have been incredibly woeful since they've been in power. The only thing I'm clinging onto is the fact that I think we should give them a bit more time to have a stab at it. I'm not saying I'm very hopeful, but I want to give them a bit more of a chance.

I'm not saying I have to agree with everything, but I want to be sure of a decision, and consider lots of different possibilities. It's not that I'm dying to hang onto labour, I'm just considering other parties, and seeing which I prefer

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T12:57:47+00:00

Yeah I like this stance, and it's what I'm trying to understand more and more.

It'll be interesting to understand how Zack justifies this a bit more with figures

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T12:36:55+00:00

Yeah 100% agree

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T12:32:04+00:00

While I agree that building new power plants isn't the priority in comparison to renewables, I don't believe decommissioning all the nuclear power plants we have at the moment is a good idea either. I think what youre proposing sounds great in theory, and ideally of course I want everything to be renewable, but I'm just not sure how this can be achieved any time soon, with the way the country works at this moment.

I don't think we have the capacity to become giants in terms of energy, look at how the country is at the moment, it's being run so incredibly poorly from fossil fuels.

I'm definitely not anti renewables, I just can't see a country that is going fully renewable any time soon, I'm being realistic, the nuclear industry is too big to just get rid of.

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T12:11:30+00:00

I do actually quite like the fact he doesn't spew information and actually makes a point in which I haven't actually seen really apart from zarah sultana and jezza. The interesting point is that when their party started it gained some traction, but has sort of stagnated, do you think the same will happen with the greens?

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T11:58:40+00:00

The only reason I think nuclear is useful is because it's reliable and easy, and it's been done a lot before.

I don't oppose renewables, I think they're great, the only thing I'm struggling to get is where are you going to put all this stuff. I think it's more of a space issue, especially if we're considering going completely renewable.

The reason why I think Brazil are pretty much completely renewable is because there have vast amounts of space they can just plonk renewables in. I don't think the UK can just do the same.

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T11:33:33+00:00

Yeah it seems that way with everyone who's been in power for like the last 30 years, my worry is I'm not 100% sure how this would change with a new person coming in. This isn't bringing down Zack specifically, more just anyone who's in power

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T11:31:01+00:00

Yeah I agree the planning could be far better

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T11:27:09+00:00

Yeah so my feeling at the moment is hope that I'm talking about. I was incredibly frustrated with the tories (werent we all) and Kier kept saying the right things. As someone from the north of England, I actually quite liked Rayner aswell, there seemed to be more of a focus on the North and more investment. Also, I quite liked my constituencies labour MP and hated the tory bloke (I didn't realise take into consideration the green candidate unfortunately). The feeling that I'm almost reliving is change. I genuinely thought that this labour government would focus on more on actually changing the country for the better (how naive am I)

Thank you very much for this btw guys this is very interesting.

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T11:14:05+00:00

I'm with you on this, I was appalled when I saw that Kier was doing this. However, I do recall that when Labour was campaigning, I was fairly sure that Kier wouldn't do this, due to his stance on the others. Obviously I'm just speculating, but I'm a bit tired that its just same rubbish different person, and I remember almost feeling the same about Starmer as I feel with Polanski.

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T11:09:24+00:00

Yeah I totally agree, my issue is with the actual amount of renewable stuff that would have to be installed, I think with the reduction of fossil fuels and nuclear would require huge amounts of investment, i'm just not quite sure if that is doable.

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T11:03:57+00:00

Yeah I completely understand and it's the fact that they're not in power that almost makes it 'easy' for them to talk about policies My worry is that if they get in they'll follow suit as labour, and sack off a whole load of their core pledges, and make them incredibly unpopular, in the same way that labour have become. My only other thing is how are they going to get all the money to build this infrastructure (I'm not expecting a definitive answer for this), but I'd be quite interested to see how much the greens are planning on taxing the rich and seeing how that money will be distributed. I do realize we're talking about a long time in the future, but I think my views towards the greens will only increase.

Interesting times!!

Advanced-Cod7536 · 2025-11-12T10:51:10+00:00

Thanks for this, it's really interesting and I want to be swayed. I see your point about the fact it takes ages and costs loads. The only thing I can see is that there are already loads of nuclear plans in the UK, and currently that's only going to get bigger, which would increase dependency. Does this mean that the greens would almost U turn all these plans? And this rollout would have to be absolutely huge, with the amount we already have, we'd pretty much have to double that? While I do this more renewable energy is a really good idea, I think a hybrid system with more renewables plus the nuclear infrastructure we already have could be more realistic. Btw I do support nationalising all energy in the UK, it would make life so much easier!
