    Cummings will always remind me of his interview by the BBC sitting in the garden at the rear of no 10 and no 11 explaining why he went for a drive to test his eyesight. Little believable, entitled a little self agrandising as he kind of believed he was among low IQ people. He may be right on...

    The elephant in the room are the economists. When I was a child, they were a rare species. Now universities churn them out in thousands every year. They twist facts into statistics which are supposed to be scientific and must be trusted. Statistics are then used by politicians to divide people...

    Apparently, Trump demands universities to pay billions to settle his investigations into their wokiness, 15% of Nvidia's and Amd's sales to China for export licenses. The money is put into a special pot for trump's projects. This is something you'd believe of a third world country.

    Tax money has got to come from somewhere. What better place than something everyone has to pay for? The bad part is no government raises enough taxes to keep up with spending and it's not only in the UK but all of the EU as well. I follow US politics a lot since brexit and I can't see any thing...

    Profiteering. Those investors into renewables got an excellent return since the war in Ukraine. Do you see a correlation between high tax items and expensive items? This is because our political system can't run any service directly. If it does for example public transport, it can't raise much...

    Hydrogen economy is unimportant at the moment. I only mentioned it as worthwhile area of research. The main efforts of research are still on nuclear reactors of all types and nuclear fusion. The main development of renewables is solar and wind, onshore and offshore. I invest a fair bit into...

    They cost about 1.5 billion pounds each. Delivery in 10 years or less. What happens if it blows up? Nothing. It's designed with automatic shut down, not to blow up when no one is around.

    Do you know that the world adds 1GW of solar every other day? Thorium molten salt reactor is on schedule? Hydrogen can now be transported as powder in trucks under atmospheric pressure and ordinary temperature?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Trump keeps threatening sectors after sectors but I think he'd fold in October. Trump has no right to play with tariffs. It's a reserve right of Congress in the U S constitution. The supreme court will probably confirm this in September.

    Do you still believe in trump's economics? He just fired the chief of Labour statistics service because they revised down the job creation numbers that he bragged about by -258,000. Wall Street reacted accordingly. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/trump-erika-mcentarfer-jobs-report-fired.html...

    what's the alternative? Change the voting system to proportional? I reckon the EU is still the best solution. Supra-national, its main role is to protect fundamental human rights against local dictators.
