Oh cool, now I have to google the size of Germany when they could have just said it in the headline. Because Germany for scale makes sense, for some reason.

> Ms Coffey has also come under fire after appearing to suggest people struggling to afford food could work more hours or improve their skills to get a higher income.
> She said people could also access the £842m Household Support Fund, before adding: "We know that one of the best ways for people to boost their income is not only to get into work if they are not in work already, but to work more hours or get upskilled to get a higher income."
> Speaking to reporters later, Ms Maskell said: "It is shocking that the environment secretary shifted blame for food poverty onto people because they are on low wages and are poor, expecting them to work even more hours to put food on the table."

Yeah except this time there are no Luftwaffe planes flying over London and the only damage being done to the UK’s economy, prestige, and people is from the after effects of the very much self-inflicted Brexit (known ex ante btw) and the price gauging by the fossil lobby. Lol. Edit: also as an outsider it never ceases to amaze me the amount of times your parliamentary debate begins with verbatim: “mr. speaker under the previous labour government.” When it’s been 1 big fucking (Tory) party running the show for the last 13 years. Lololol.

Reply to Tunisia's President Saied claims sub-Saharan migrants threaten country's identity by ArnaudAubron
An autocrat who doesn’t have any ability to manage the country he rules will always resort to finding scapegoats.

An identity threatened by migrants is no real identity.

Reply to ‘Energy battle’ between Europe and Russia not over, says global watchdog | International Energy Agency says efforts to replace Russian gas successful but warns against overconfidence by misana123
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 78%. (I'm a bot)
> The head of the International Energy Agency has warned that the "Energy battle" between Europe and Russia is not over, despite a sharp drop in wholesale gas prices that has eased concerns over high bills and blackouts.
> European nations moved quickly last autumn to fill up gas storage facilities and supplies have not been depleted at the rate expected over winter thanks to periods of mild weather and efforts by businesses and households to cut back on energy usage.
> Birol told the Financial Times: "Russia played the energy card and it did not win but it would be too strong to say that Europe has won the energy battle already."I think Europe did a good job, been a big success.

Reply to comment by throwaway29301816303 in Russian Defence Ministry accuses Ukraine of preparing provocations to attack Transnistria by WhoStoleMyPassport
There's about 1500 Russian soldiers stationed in Transnistria and around 5.5k Transnistrian soldier's who are basically equipped by Russia.
So around 7k men if Transnistria doesn't do mobilization.

Reply to Tunisia's President Saied claims sub-Saharan migrants threaten country's identity by ArnaudAubron
Tunisian President Kais Saied caused a stir at home and abroad when he suggested on Tuesday, February 21, that the arrival of sub-Saharan migrants was part of a plot to weaken the country's Arab Islamic identity. "There is a criminal plan to change the composition of the demographic landscape in Tunisia and some individuals have received large sums of money to give residence to sub-Saharan migrants," said the head of state, quoted in a statement from the Presidency of the Republic.

For a little balance, you could start by explaining the last 50 years of incorrect doom and gloom predictions:

Normally Australia is pretty abysmal when it comes to (marine) environmental protection, so this is definitely great to see.

Because Iran has sworn to destroy them.
You can describe the process as emotionally as you want, Israel and the west are key stakeholders - with the means to deny, prevent, and obliterate whatever they choose.
Nuclear weapons are not a rite of passage - they are a means to both defend a country and provide cover for aggression. The latter is the concern.

Now if Australia could stop polluting elsewhere, that'd be great.
Australia’s greenhouse pollution from coal higher per person than any other developed country, data shows Despite the growth of renewable energy, Australia’s per capita coal emissions of 4.04 tonnes a year is nearly four times the global average.
