You and I have got some proven managerial skills over our 50 year working life but Cummings? What managerial skills has he got? He's got a degree in History! He's good with languages too, I give you that but would you trust him to manage your savings? His education and career past has not...

Cummings talked about how to reform the Civil Service as if he were Sir Humphries in 'Yes, Prime Minister'. That guy in the Grenfell saga is not typical of the caliber Cummings was talking about and he already admitted that it was a mistake. Much more than Cummings ever admitted to anything...

Did SW crash with his Haibike?

I did address this point previously. Ministers can BS voters on TV but Civil servants have to follow due process. We'll have to expand our judiciary system to put a lot more of them through court where statistically about 75% of them win against the home office.

that has been our system for hundreds of years, as seen in 'Yes Minister'. What's new? He just blames someone else when his/their half baked projects fail. Would Cummings be a better Sir Humphries? I doubt that. He came from the same old fashoined British system: private schools, Oxbridge...

Cummings should know better. He's got a good education so he should have done better than the usual right wing approach, blame the foreigners. That is: 1) this is a crisis, we must act now 2) This issue will threaten our security 3) We have a solution and it's very simple if only we get given a...

Those mistakes are made by ministers, not those working and following orders under them. You place a few people with low IQ at the wheel of the Titanic, what would you expect? This is a typical excuse of those who should not lead in the first place. It's like Trump blaming the head of Bureau of...

it's a broad subject. I would like to know the prompt you put into your AI. Let's address the first point via the examples you provided. Civil service we talk about here is essentially Whitehall staff. They work directly under their political masters. Their job is to deploy the ideas of their...

I did watch some of that video by the way. I suspect that you and I will never agree on the necessity that civil servants must serve ministers of the day a) apolitically and b) within the confines of the laws because they have the knowledge of laws and the expertise on how things are run while...

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.

If you have any doubts about the future of renewables, here is the recent share price of Rolls Royce, since they got a grant to develop SMR

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?

The mini XLR connector is relatively new for 48V battery, you can't use the 48V charger in a 36V battery. There are adapters for the new 48V charger to be used with old 48V batteries with jack socket but we won't sell you the adapter unless we know exactly why you need it. The new connector is...
