I am no fan of Nuclear Power ..but in the case of the UK ,I doubt there is any short term alternative. In fact the Germans are being invited to reconsider their earlier decision. But in time Solar is making huge inroads... And these are typically Chinese manufacturing.

Since the entire UK Population is 66/7000 or about 0.9428% , that sounds about right. China at 20% of the global population could certainly do a bit better. And now enjoy the cheap stuff, while it lasts, China is rapidly going up market.

Sorry Woosh.. but not really relevant. Remember that cities are hotter than elsewhere , so if anything the Heat pumps are better placed. The only requirement is that they don't get placed in very low lying areas inside enclosed courtyards. . At the macro scale all the multiple heat pumps in a...

May I disagree about the substance. I will not be referring to the personalities... A lot of housing stock in the UK is very old and even the attempts by the Luftwaffe to encourage rebuilding to modern standards was a failure. Regrettably concrete boxes without insulation was the modern...

My tuppence worth is that the Inclusion of a Cathedral under Norman rule allowed a location be termed a City.. This was because Cathedral, irrespective of the population, implied a Bishopric ,and Bishops were Princes . However a large urban area even without a Cathedral could be a city, if...

It seems on first glance OK to me. Remember that in T.Mays great Repeal Bill all then current EU legislation was accepted as UK legislation, with the obvious assumption that in time they would review and revise as needed. Now some of these will cut off EU markets from UK producers..in all...

Political parties are not civil servants ... Hate speech does not have to threaten.. And yes it is prejudice to castigate as undesirable any member of any group ,..without refering to their INDIVIDUAL behaviour.

That entire lecture was a pleasure to read...

I have been reading these exchanges over the last few days , and while I will not be commenting on individual UK persons, I think that Zlatans argument is the more reasonable. Calling all members of a political party by an offensive term is frankly hate speech. The only time one has licence...

If they have a live suspect in custody, they need to be circumspect as it can affect case in court

Nonsense.. 150W would keep you toasty. . I got a new jacket from Regatta with heating coils in it, at the start if the summer .. I am looking forward to the weather being cold enough.to use a battery pack . It is designed for one of those mobile phone charger blocks..

I have a weird symptom... When I walk or exert myself my jaws ache!. .. . I suspect it is heart related ,..as does my GP so even the 5k or 7000 /8000 daily walk, brings it on ..whereas the ebike being more gentle keeps it at bay.

Fair point, ..and here he would be part of the 3% partially vaccinated.

Thanks for the reminder ... It destroyed our Telecom system , with multiple multinationals asset stripping it again and again

I am not attributing any morality to these figures, .. and for some reason neither does the virus . Incidentally my son, who is in the highly vulnerable category .. CF with lungs that are on their last legs, is getting his booster shot tomorrow.. his last two were AZ and tomorrow's should be Pfizer

This might be eventually one of the very few Brexit bonuses. !. Under EU guidance in the 90s we were encouraged to break up state monopolies . Whether it was actually a requirement or a request ,I never recalled, but certainly the mantra was .. Competition makes for better public services. It...

No flecc you have misunderstood .... . If the population of both vaccinated and unvaccinated were the same then it would be reasonable to say that the vaccines were only mildly effective. But since 95% of the population are vaccinated and 5% not. It shows that the vaccination is at least 20...

"I simply believe the vaccines are nowhere near as good as has been hyped and that personal action is far more effective in avoiding Covid." well flecc.... i am going to somewhat agree and also disagree. . In Ireland we now have 89.6% of the total population vaccinated ... in round numbers we...

"We are almost exactly 10% worse than France yet 10% better than Italy. (we have around 2000 deaths per million for covid) And Italy has achieved that rate totally without Tories or Johnson. Then have a look at some other figures. (Bosnia?)" ..Now We know you have lost it . Italy had this...

Your insults ..and that is what they are, I ignore The facts are and were the facts ... I am not going to read that report. Although I might be interested in a sworn public inquiry, where perjury is punishable by jail. We lived through those dark days. I couldn't comfort my sister in her...
