And we are getting an ever so starry, starry night - sort-of. Thanks to Elon Musk: https://me.cmdr2.org/starlink/ Some are not happy: https://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-starlink-satellite-license-fcc-environmental-law-2020-1?r=US&IR=T

Another confirmed lie: Revealed: complex post-Brexit checks for Northern Irish traders Transport and manufacturing heads criticise paperwork needed to trade with GB The “straightforward” document that Northern Irish businesses will need to complete to send goods to Great Britain after Brexit...

Are such chargers exempt from the controls on prices of resold electricity which otherwise apply to "domestic" supplies? Or do they, at least theoretically, separate out the electricity cost from a charger-charge?

Whenever anyone mentions Wimpy, I get a mind's eye vision of the bright red, tomato-shaped ketchup dispensers. Complete with an encrustation of dried, congealed ancient ketchup.

Unfortunately, many rockets use perchlorate. Including space shuttle solid rocket boosters, military munitions and fireworks. The area around the launch site, the atmosphere and the landing areas all get polluted. As well as all water courses traversed.

I remember being astonished that people in southern England could hear the heavy artillery in France during the first world war. (Seems obvious now, but as a schoolkid, it was a bit of a surprise.) Don't we have enough pollution to deal with already? Fireworks can be nasty - perchlorate...

Is 69p a reasonable cost given the investment made installing the kit and supplying it with electicity, maintenance, etc.? Or is it gouging? And is there anything stopping them putting the prices up even more? (Other than competitive pressure. But we know the theory of competion versus the...

Everyone is a loser with respect to brexit. The only thing is, some already know it and some have yet to realise it. (And some transient wins might serve to defer that realisation. Like being owner of a shipping company with no ships but lots of money.)

Whilst I agree with your point about the word cretin/cretinism, it is more difficult when someone (OG in this case) is quoting someone else. I have repeatedly complained to advertisers and media about improper use of the word. Thyroid disorders are all too close to me and mine. I feel it might...

Hop in a limousine, get there, have a meeeting, get driven back... At most a photo op or two. At great cost (venue, security, etc.). Cabinet to meet in north of England next Friday, No 10 says Next week’s cabinet meeting will take place on Friday in the north of England...

Fair enough. Perhaps we should separate NI, S and W a bit more - and ensure that any company operating in each of them has to have an office there as well - and has to employ legal and professional advisers? Maybe the regions of England as well? (I also suspect that the word "employ" probably...

As I see it, that is just seeing how they can retain any of their current profitable business. Doesn't read as a major ramp up. Companies who are not at present making money will skip the option so those that open will most likely operate as exporters of money.
