That would be fusion beyond anything anyone has seriously suggested being possible. And remember: For iron, and for all of the heavier elements, nuclear fusion consumes energy.

Pharmaceutical companies also indulge in ending up as sole suppliers of medicines which might actually be old and cheap. They raise the prices many thousands of percent simply gouging.

Yes - I agree. But when "they" go on about limitless inexpensive power, I think it worth doing the thought experiment of what it would mean if it did come to pass - however unlikely.

Thank goodness that we now have the sovereign right to adopt foreign rules and have taken back control so we can go ahead with doing so. Note: In many technical and medical areas, a huge proportion of the globe unilaterally adopts standards such as those issued by the USA's Food and Drugs...

I think we need to be careful not to put all (or even most) research funds into something that has not yet been proved practical. Also, imagine that we end up with extremely cheap electricity. I foresee gross "waste" - such as no-one any longer caring about insulation. Heating every room of the...

I don't give a damn about the ceremony - one then the other, together, never. I just saw opportunity for a jibe at MoS and a mildly humourous remark.

... and would do so. What have seen is that the system of checks and balances (USA wording, I know) and adherence to conventions has utterly failed because those who can, won't. A variety of reasons, I'm sure. But it ends up in the same place - we do not have a mechanism for removing a PM even...

I see the Mail on Sunday proclaims across their front page today: Charles and Camilla to be crowned side by side I'm not going to question whether that is really more important and significant than Ukraine, Partygate and other Johnson matters, big wins for brexit, the leadership of the Met, a...

Such obvious propaganda rather than reality.

Sunday Express: BREXIT'S 'BIG' WINS' FOR BRITAIN EXCLUSIVE Brexit will transform Britain and deliver such dividends that within a decade nobody will "rant to rejoin the European Union", Jacob Rees Mogg has vowed. In his first interview since being appointed as the Minister for BO...

Durham police help save woman 3,000 miles away in Canada Suspect arrested 30 minutes after woman in Durham, Ontario, mistakenly contacts English force I bet they are thanking their lucky stars they didn't get through to the police who operate in Durham Street, London. The story ends with: “If...

Perhaps we should re-introduce National Service? Send all the new recruits directly to Ukraine and let them get trained by Ukraine or Russia - as circumstances dictate. When they come back, they'll have added a foreign language as well as learned the meaning of "cold".

The government has just updated a document concerning medicines. Item 10 explicitly says we will have equivalent at least for GMP standards. Which rather implies ongoing equivalence. Which means that if the EU changes the rules, we will, at least eventually, do the same. Guidance...

I think I've just understood why HS2 has to be as fast as it is. So it can get from London to Birmingham before the fares go up again! Boom Boom

Really! How come Andrew Lloyd Webber produced a Starlight Express?

I've already said that going into a potential conflict is far from ideal as a time to change PM. But it is massively better than leaving Johnson in the job. Pack up your roubles in your old kit bag And smile, smile, smile. Just pucker up and whistle (Whistle) (Whistling) What's the use of...

BBC says: Boris Johnson has received questionnaire from police as part of inquiry into lockdown parties

If exports keep dropping, there will be no need for Dover. :) Especially if much Irish traffic goes direct.

If you predicted that UK exports to the EU would go up after brexit, you were wrong. If you predicted that UK exports to the EU would be more or less stable after brexit, you were wrong. If you predicted that UK exports to the EU would fall considerably after brexit, you were right. UK exports...

Don't worry. Ofgem will come along in ten or twenty years and admit that if they had regulated better, there wouldn't have been wholesale and massive fleecing of EV drivers. Where I am, the range of prices at main pumps is pretty small. But if I go about ten miles, they are usually around 5p a...
