You're misreading my post, I wasn't only referring to the temporary pandemic effects and work isn't only done in offices anyway. .

I live in London so it's fine for us. Others can sort out their own problem! I agree on the home use and other transport, impractical and unnecessary. .

No, and there won't be in any currently conceivable future. .

No, we'll need far less transport. The transport habit is modern humanity's biggest failure to date. It will drastically change and that change has already started. .

We've long been using some hydrogen fuel cell buses in London and currently have many more on order. They will be running all our longer routes with Battery Electric ones serving the short to medium length routes. We've totally stopped all purchase of ICE buses. The hydrogen used is a by...

Tidal power yes, 100% reliable and very efficient. Wave power no, it's just wind power slightly delayed with much of its energy removed, so pointless and very inefficient. .

No, the railways there had no trouble ruining their own future. The truth is that no railway in the world can ever pay, they have to be state supported, but the USA is culturally strongly opposed to that or anything else that hints of socialism. Thus they ended up with Amtrack, a sort of half...

Yet another article about e-cars full of errors by someone pretending to be an expert but being nothing of the sort. Best ignored. .

Which I'd covered in this excerpt: "We suffered the same with the post war predictions that the USSR was the big enemy. Trillions were spent on armaments by both sides, money that could have immeasurably improved the lives of everyone" i.e. Spend the money more sensibly after some forethought. .

innit. .

The government has been laying out its future plans for the environment, electric cars, electricity generation, home heating by heat pumps and a myriad of other details, all entailing immense future costs for all of us and a virtually certain loss of personal wealth and living standards in...

Man, you cannot be serious! .

They're effective plans since they will lead to ever increasing deaths, particularly of the elderly. That is when their effectiveness will be seen, for example: Making more housing available. Reducing the traffic on our roads. Helping the economy by reducing the number drawing old age...

So they have to pay the £12.50 these days and also sometimes get nicked. Even London's taxi drivers have been fined on occasions A rare exception. The MOT will pick up any poorly maintained Euro 6 vehicle and fail it. The standards here now are far higher than you seem to think, even the...

Not so, this is London legislation, nothing to do with national government. We've long been leading the country in this respect. Also this is the ULTRA low emission zone. We have long had a low emission zone covering almost all of London, policed by spot checks. The ULEZ is based on...

The fallibility of technology, ANPR this time. I saw this on TV first but here's the Mail covering it. Unfortunate just as London's Low Emission Zone enlarges out to North and South Circular roads: Information Link .

They could have Russian Orthodox Cathedrals, we have one in London, the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God and All Saints is the cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Diocese of Sourozh. And the Scots are OK since they have the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St. Luke in...

Thank you Zlatan. The snag for anyone wanting to get rid of an act that is expressly designed to prevent the abuses of fascistically inclined governments is that they are inadvertantly supporting said fascist governments actions. Their position is therefore foolish, especially when their...

There is some legitimacy in the expression fascist in reference to someone wanting to get rid of the Human Rights Act as Raab and the right wing of the Tory party want to. Winston Churchil, a Conservative, shocked by how the Nazis had abused human rights, decided we need a Human Rights Act and...

Totally unacceptable. The Human Rights court recommendations in relation to our armed forces were all entirely reasonable. For example they ruled that the UK government were wrong to automatically expel anyone from the forces with a dishonourable discharge and loss of pension rights if they...
