Just catching up up with the St Paddy’s Day edition of the @ralphmclean.bsky.social show on #bbcsounds. If there is a better selection of two hours of music on the wireless set this year I’ll eat my shoes! And I have size 16 feet! Absolutely stonking show. 👏👏👏

Full VAT on meat products could cost EU households as little as €26 a year but cut impact by 3-6%, says paper The environmental impacts of meat consumption could be rapidly and cheaply reduced if governments applied full VAT on products such as beef, pork, lamb and chicken, a study has shown. Depending on how the additional tax revenues were redistributed, such a change could cost households as little as €26 (£23) a year, while cutting ecological destruction by between 3% and 6%, the paper found.

WTF did the judge think would happen? Lock him up, start seizing his assets and just stop reporting on him. He thrives on the publicity. Don’t feed it to him.
