It might crash in the North Sea yet. Then we'll all be eating infected fish, I gather the virus came from a fish market in the first place. .

But in what next week of what next year of what next decade of what next century? .

It's not solely about investment far from it, it's as much how the available money is used. Public transport could have been far better without Tory doctrinaire policies. The privatisation of buses was an unmitigated disaster and remains so, it's only in London where we have a single...

There's a new threat now with over a quarter of a million plug in electric cars and vans on UK roads now, either full time or part time running on silent electric power. So wearing earphones won't make much difference with them approaching. I've also ridden bicycles without a helmet for...

Battery evolution is increasing range now. Most of the accumulated data is from the earlier years when most batteries were at or often well below 360 Wh capacity. Then we often had 24 volt popular models with as little as 156 Wh and overall battery life was much shorter. They were less good...

You need that as well as the high speed trains for people travelling to and from you. All round efficiency. Only because they are doing it wrong, though not their fault of course, entirely due to central government policies. Here in London we do it ourselves through TfL and it's totally...

The overcrowding delays on the roads does the trick quite well, we've already had that happen down here, but limited while we extend the railways capacity. And of course subsidies as you rightly suggest. And of course here in London we've switched huge numbers out of cars into public...

It's important to look at the bigger picture. It will make a big difference if completed to all the northern destinations, enabling later extensions into Scotland. At present we are flying numerous planes to all those northern locations at a large environmental cost, completely inappropriate...

This became inevitable with our delays on installing replacement nuclear power. We should have been doing that at least twenty years ago. It's either gas or the lights go out. .

Tories might have a viable leader and party by then, but doubtful. They certainly aren't viable now. Johnson is blatantly lying about the border to N.I., also about the customs rules, also about the trade deal. And his party is breaking up already over the departure terms, over the trade deal...

Yes, but he's a foreigner. Born in the USA and with Russian, Turkish and other blood, there's not much English in him other than the education. Johnson's paternal great-grandfather was Circassian-Turkish journalist Ali Kemal who was a secular Muslim; his father's other ancestry includes...

Indeed, the UK has a record of good compliance with the rules, as our fishermen can testify. Not so many EU countries, I don't think the Italians have or know a word for rules and we all know how strictly VW complied with the emission rules. I see EU companies being the big winners if there...

So that is what Brexit is worth, not even a pound and selling at under seven quid. Just about sums up leaving. All our other major events concerning rule since WW2 have been marked by limited edition proof gold sovereigns worth thousands of pounds. .

That are not lying since the bikes are supplied in a legal pedelec state. But when their software is used to increase power or speed above pedelec limits, they become illegal to ride unless type approved, registered and number plated as motor vehicles. The problem arises on how the law is...

We've won something that hasn't existed for us for over 100 years and still doesn't exist after winning it, namely sovereignty. Even the sovereign coin hasn't been common currency for over a century, only minted as an historic coin over that time. I note the most recently minted proof...

Better still, wait a few years until the trade deal with the EU is concluded and we'll then know how much leaving cost us. That will be the time for celebration, if there's anything left to celebrate. .

Yes it was downloading automatically, most odd, no PDF has ever done that before and I think it a bit naughty from a security point of view. I like to control such permissions. Oddly enough some of the Middle Eastern countries are keen to get into nuclear energy, not for any hidden...

Your link doesn't work. Leaving Euratom may have some effect, but it's only speculation what that might be and how it will affect national decisions. The IAEA is the overriding authority and wouldn't take kindly to intervention by what is in effect a national body intruding into their...

I strongly approve of the use of SMRs. I don't see any problem at all with respect to Euratom which is mainly a research body, it is not an internationally recognised overriding authority. The commissioning authority rests with the national bodies like our UKAEA and the International Atomic...
