The biggest question I have, is how those planning this plan to address non human reasons they went extinct.

Because while human effect on the environment was a huge issue. It was not alone. Wolves and bears became isolated to the UK when the European land link flooded (dogger bank) after the ice age.

Much like any isolated population, this lead to genetic diversity issues. Both wolves and bears have large area needs for population diversity. Their territorial nature means groups need large areas. So diversity needs population mixing across those areas.

Back in the 1990 Scotland tried to introduce the wolf. To discover, lack of mixing lead to a high concentration of males vs females. Forcing them to cull the population. Expanding the project nationally may help. But would require safe passage from one territory to all others. And still lead to diversity issues as happened in the past. Bears are much more complicated. As the brown bear is the natural historical resident of the UK. And unlike wolves that avoid human contact due to nerves. Brown bears are much more likely to resort to aggression when humanity blocks its survival goals.

Its not an impossible issue to solve. But is likely to involve consistent investment in introducing new populations. As wolves and bears tend not to buy ferry tickets and use tinder for dating across the EU borders.

Given, the brown bear was the traditional UK bear, pre-Roman times.

It is rather hard to imagine them in modern day UK. The population living in areas they are introduced, would def need to be trained and prepared.

I cannot see that happening due to lack of support. Wolves we know as historical fairy tale villains. But in reality they avoid humans where they are still native. Brown bears have more fight than flight when taken by surprise. And don't tend to have the nervousness to avoid the interactions themselves. Hence, why travelling noisily is recommended in areas they reside.

Pretty sure everyone knows the bells on shoes joke.

Yes, the reason it costs more is because the wealthy follow the rule following the rules. And less walthy kids just do not gain such learning experiences.

They call it yeast extract.

What they don't admit is. Yeast it the nickname of an incontinent factory worker.

I assume they think the bank of England and international investors are to left wing.

It is basically what lettuce brain is claiming. Also a common hiding point for extream right wing supporters. We are not wrong the world is out to get us and refuses to give our ideas a real chance.

IE democracy is out to get us unless we try to limit the left from actually acting.

First remember pubs do not exist. They are entirely fictional. They were created to confuse potential invaders during the 2nd World War.

Basically pubs are public toilets containing the most dangerous people in the UK. Improv actors. Designed to confuse the shit out of foreign agents.

Is kind of annoying

Very. But unfortunately FPTP dose tend to force it. And the big parties know this so will not help to remove it.

As the manifesto are not released yet. At best it will be a guess.

Week or so you may start seeing 2019 sites updating. As they get ready for release.

But honestly. Most folks will be looking at voting against the tories. Rather then voting for policies.

FPTP tends to punish idealised voting. And the current polling makes it clear removing tories is more important then specific policies to most voters. So it is very likely tactical voting will be the bigger site motivation this time.

Eggs are some of the most versatile foods to cook. They are used all over the place. As many have suggested.

But. Yeah it is very unlikely you will find anyone selling one. As almost everyone expects to buy in multiples of 6. There is not the demand for shops to open a box.

Your best bet is to talk to a few niebours. Odds are one of them is happy to sell you an egg if you explain why.

And you never know. You may make a local friend interested in cooking.
