Works for me (just checked again) - but on my PC the PDF downloads and does not open in browser. Could that be happening for you? I agree it is (still) speculation. Which actual countries would be good prospects?

The House of Lords briefing document (unfortunately from as long ago as 2017) does raise many questions about the impact of leaving Euratom. https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/LLN-2017-0010/LLN-2017-0010.pdf

But that potentially has a whole load of negatives as well! For example, we won't be unapplying existing laws (many of which were poorly framed or have become out of date) for the same reason.

Timing could be interesting. Days to go and they decide to push this out. Rolls-Royce sees SMRs on UK grid by 2029 24 January 2020 Paul Stein, chief technology officer for Rolls-Royce, told the BBC today the British engineering firm has a target of 2029 for commissioning small modular reactors...

The USA keeps warning us we will lose our sovereignty if we choose Huawei. Just what does that say about brexit? Complete waste because it won't return sovereignty as repeatedly promised (or if it does, it disappears again, pronto). Schrödinger's sovereignty - as soon as you open the box it will...

But not all were misses of any sort: The death toll on stretches of smart or managed motorways has reached 38 in the last five years, including many in accidents that motoring organisations believe were avoidable after breakdowns.

I do like (so long as I can avoid white of egg). But even bottom end smoked haddock is bloomin' expensive these days. Let alone the better stuff.

Yet another example of government incompetence: UK's smart motorways to be reviewed after huge rise in near-misses BBC Panorama study shows increase on M25 from 72 to 1,485 in five years since conversion It always seemed unbelievable that so-called smart motorways could be as safe. That they...

Bizarrely, I have a vegan haggis recipe - all invented by me, many years ago. :) It is, in my view, nicer than haggis made of pluck. But that isn't difficult... And it should have been last night, n'est pas?

You might have thought that there would be other special interests which need the rules pushed out of the way for them. For example, film makers, journalists, actors...

British Rail introduced the HS125 (InterCity 125) services, electrified London to Bournemouth, changed over from numerous signal boxes to central control, and numerous other things. At the time, the HS125 manged several records. (There are rumours that HS125 managed over 150 in service - before...

Repeating OG's oft asked question: Independence Day will expose Brexit as a ruse to free an imaginary nation Fintan O'Toole Next Friday, Britain officially leaves the EU but it’s difficult to see who or what is being liberated. Perhaps an England without London...

The herd of elephants on the room. These are the talks that have the prelude of being told to drop “discriminatory” taxes on big tech companies. And not to use Huawei 5G kit.

No idea - unless it is ego and attempts at machismo. Which ends up more masochism.

And a nice little judicial review: Court to probe Carrie Symonds’ influence on PM after cancellation of badger cull Boris Johnson’s partner and animal rights activist was briefed by Badger Trust weeks before the policy was changed The influence exerted on the prime minister by his partner...

Not much point in a) appointing someone with questionable associations; b) not replacing that person when the associations are made public, if that person then quits. Just more government incompetence. (Wasn't there enough fuss about Moore-Bick being appointed? Didn't that provide a hint?)...

Who said "Trade wars are good and easy to win"? Can they both be right and win?

Welcome to the Landcrab Owners' Club International website – dedicated to Alec Issigonis's greatest (and allegedly his favourite) design https://www.landcrab.net/

Surely that won't work on typical examples with rusted away arches... I haven't seen any vehicle with that strange almost crabbing look of hydrolastic cars of that era in such a long time, I'd just about forgotten about it.

When they get older, and still lack useful experience (other than failed airlines), take them in as government advisers?
