Our thanks to Jeff for this. The ill-fated Renewable Heat Initiative (RHI) is currently £490 million over budget. The Wikipedia content on RHI:
In December 2016, Foster faced criticism and controversy after a whistleblower revealed that the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme overspent by £400m, a failure which has been nicknamed the Cash for Ash scandal.[17]
The scheme was originally set up by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI, now Department for the Economy) when she was Minister of the department and the scheme offered incentives to businesses if they installed renewable heating systems, such as burning wooden pellets.
She faced strong criticism after it was claimed that she personally campaigned to keep the scheme open, even when senior civil servants warned of the overspend and the Minister responsible, Jonathan Bell, planned on closing it. It remained open for an extra two weeks before it was finally closed.
It was also revealed that the Northern Ireland budget would lose £400m over the next 20 years as a result of the failure of the scheme. An independent audit investigated 300 sites and found there were issues at half of them, including 14 cases where there were suspicions of ‘serious fraud’.
When senior civil servants suggested the closure of the scheme in September 2015, the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister (now the Executive Office) pressured the department to keep the scheme open, which is when there was a spike in applications.[18] There were calls for Foster to resign as First Minister after the scandal broke.[19][20]
So how has Arlene Foster responded to calls for her reignation? By lamely reaching for the feminist trump card, misogyny. From the (BBC) article by Gareth Gordon, the BBC News Northern Ireland political correspondent (obviously a misogynist himself):
Arlene Foster and the DUP have come out fighting in characteristic form. I think some people will find the misogyny line hard to take. Among those, as late as yesterday, calling for her to go, is the Alliance leader Naomi Long.
And it’s not just Sinn Féin who have been calling for her to go, with virtually every other party in the assembly [also doing so].
If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

There is no evidence of malfeasance but rather of incompetence and as always it is difficult to decide exactly where the incomepetence lies but part of her job is to accept responsibility. Misogyny is used almost entirely by feminist women when they cannot think of anything to defend their actions or opinions. Outside of environmenst dominate dby feminist zealotory it has lost most of its sting.It willl just be seen as desperate and irrelevant attempt to avoid responsibility and further undermine its general use as a silencing tactic.

I’m not sure there is any such thing as ‘renewable heat’, but let it pass for now.
There is however, a trick that has been missed here I feel.
What surely does exist is ‘Wimmin’s heat’, used for caring, nurtuing and growing correct green friendly vegitarian produce for babies & small children, and ‘toxic masculinity’ heat used for science, tecnology, engineering and manufacturing.
All the things that separate us from Mother Gaia and nature herself.
Surely there must be a ‘call’ (?!) for divesting ourselves of this polution and returning to a state of harmony with trees, plants, rocks an’ things, as God herself intended.
We could then advance to a ‘New Republic of Democratic People’s Free and Happy Age of Stone, or ‘stone age’ for short.
Now c’mon, what’s not to like?
You know it makes sense.
