As it became increasingly obvious that Boris was going to win the nomination, I wanted to mark the day that idiot got swore in as Prime Minister, not with a resigned shrug and a tired acceptance that we now have a racist, homopphobic idiot as leader, but with an understanding that enough really is enough, and the days of these hapless Eton toffs lording it over the rest of us has to stop.
It was an easy decision for me to make; I live in a marginal constituency where Labour are in second place behind a Tory barely hanging onto a 1000 majority. So I know if I volunteer in my community as a Labour activist, my actions can make a difference.
I also live in a town that has the highest proportion of old people per head of the population in the land. So I look forward to knocking on doors telling them all if they vote Corbyn, you'll get your free TV license back.
If the Tories lose this next by-election, they'll be down to a majority of 1. The DUP have also announced today that are about to review their supply and demand arrangement with the Torys. Johnson may wish to hang on till 2022, but the likelihood of that now seems remote. A GE is imminent.
Never been particularly politically active before, but today really was a tipping point. I implore you all to get active yourselves, whatever your allegiances, and get this ignoramus out of No. 10.

That's not how it works, these terms are defined. In fact the definitions appear one after the other in the Council RegLivDiv wrote:A quick google and oil is mentioned as an economic resource pretty much every time. Land, Labour, Capital, Entrepreneurship. Oil and other natural materials fall under the Land category as things used for production.
