We should be supporting our young in climate fight
Am not even being funny or anything but the houses that are empty is because of the state that they are in and the fact that no one is willing to do anything about it, and the way that these private landlords are charging excess amount of money for a tiny house, and most of them don’t even look after the tenants or the house. We had an empty house in the family we weren’t allowed to rent it out or even let the homeless live in it because the will was in probate four years and a lot of legal paperwork later we could sell it so sad. ONE can only speak highly of the kids who are protesting about climate change which will occur in their lifetimes, putting our planet in danger.
But shame on us all, we should be showing our support for them.
These kids are taking time off school after a Swedish child, so fed up with Government’s passing the can of who’s to blame in our deterioration of Earth, decided action speaks louder than words.
Future generations will suffer severe global changes in weather patterns, so bad the surface of our earth could become practically uninhabitable. We will return to living in caves.
We can all do our bit to make our climate miss the critical level. The air we breathe to the cleaning up of our oceans, our planet is on amber alert. to give up driving in his 90s.
Older drivers know that conditions on the road are entirely different to what they were years ago. As you get older your eyesight gets poorer, reaction times slow down and the amount of traffic motorists have to put up with is tremendous, especially at peak times.
So what is the right time to give up to spare yourself and other motorists from danger?
We all know many drivers in advanced years who seem quite capable of driving soundly, but we all know many who would be better throwing the towel in.
In my very early days one saw horse and carts and very few cars, now an explosion has taken place, roads where driving GL ANCING through a copy of the Huddersfield Official Handbook, I find it alarming how this town has gone downhill, as far as the Textile Industry goes.
Having worked in a mill myself, people came there like myself with no textile background.
Textiles provided stability for working class people as it was the town’s industry. Then in the 80s Margaret Thatcher was PM and the Tory government ruined a trade which provided many jobs for Huddersfield folk.
The Tories are hardly the party of the working class, but as its own wealth depends on it, perhaps it should look to revising our once proud industry. THANKS Denis Kilcommons for highlighting the comedy “Two Doors Down” (Sitcoms changebut laughs keep coming, Examiner, February 22).
It is brash, broad Scots humour at its finest in the Billy Connolly style. It has provided a great antidote to the interminable torture of Brexit and I feel sure that these characters would make a better job of solving the situation which has become as farcical as any sitcom.
The whole thing is 18th century Fieldingesque echoing “Tom Jones” and “Joseph Andrews”. I do hope that there is more to come of Two Doors Down, a welcome tonic from the theatre of the absurd that is Brexit!
