    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You need to look again at how the dynamic spot market for electricity operates .. it works on 30 minute intervals . Basically the Central Grid Operator, sends out tenders and each producer sends back their offer ..as in "I will supply 100 MW at 30 quid per Mw.hr. from my windfarm" . And...

    Nice image and occasionally the sun does shine. That brown structure on the Right lower is King Johns Castle ...and is really big. This is the same King John who gave Robin Hood nightmares.

    I am not going to comment on UK politics, except to note that your entire thesis is that Labour must be incompetent, because they ate not in Government, whereas their competence cannot be tested unless they are in Government. So the entire cycle is based in a fallacy. Now why they are not in...

    Yes I read about this a real own goal, and potentially a rerun of the hunt for red October.. Its fair game where it is, and the Chinese would like to confirm what their spies have told them. Why the USN didn't send a torpedo down onto the craft beggars belief.

    You are missing my point. She is one, you are many. One person only does limited damage, multiple people do plenty of damage. It not a question of justification. Every day your country is flying supersonic jet fighters creating more pollution than that flight. Every day 24/7 your country is...
