He said a lot, but the impression I got was that he mainly blamed perestroika. He later regretted that he didn't introduce reforms earlier. .

I know far more about the Chernobyl accident than you ever will, including decades before in precise detail what the cause was. That the drama did get right, but that wasn't true of much else, Even in the first episode they filmed a helicopter crash in the emission cloud over the reactor...

Liar, I've never said that or implied it. .

Not to mention the Three Mile Island disaster in the USA. Scott Heaberlin, the scientist who led that cleanup and was therefore the world's leading expert on the subject, was the lead on the US help in Chernobyl. But Fingers it seems prefers to rely on a very belated drama than the on-the-spot...

Yes you did, you cut out the first line of my post that you were commenting on, here's what I posted: "Fingers told me he was a liar, he's posted this: "I am the media" Lying is part of the modus operandi of the media." Here's the link to your response with that first line missing, making it...

There you go again with your assumptions, I'm not in any way defending communism on this issue. Rather than rely on the makers of drama, I'm just posting from the knowledge of those Westerners who were there coping with the situation and Western subsequent information from documentary and...

Possibly, but overwhelmed by the capitalist era corruption of the oligarchs. .

Try reading the books written by those who were working on the consequences there at the time, serious books written by authors from the USA and elsewhere, some of them scientists. I'd much rather trust their accounts that I read long ago than a drama made today to shock and entertain...

Utter nonsense, some 10.2 millions live in London now and quite a few actually commute out to their work. If you had any worthwhile direct experience you'd know that. And as I've already posted in reply to you, the population and their employments are little different from town and cities...

Perhaps it's escaped your notice, but Russia adopted capitalism after the fall of the USSR. But 30 years of capitalism since has resulted in the poor being no better off than before and for many of them, far, far worse off. That's why over a third of the population want to return to communism...

Some of the wealth! £50 billions is almost all of it each year. The only decent sized chunk we've kept in recent years is the £15 billions for Crossrail, but that from seven years of the £50 billions per annum. And as for identity you are very wrong. We are proud of our identity as...

As if proof was needed, Trump really shows what an idiot he is to pick on individual murders elsewhere, when he is president of a country where murders and mass murders are so commonplace. .

Not merely tending, that is fundamental to socialism and politics in general. Those without will vote for a fairer share, those with will vote to avoid any loss. But in practice it doesn't always apply. Labour London, our socialist capital with some poverty afflicted boroughs, gives some £50...

Indeed. History shows the Tories prefer gerrymandering to gain unfair advantage. .

Now you are sinking really low, not only repeating a post you've already made, but deliberately enlarging the text and editing out part of what I posted to make it mean different. And you call me nasty. .

As I've replied above, it's not the system tending to benefit Labour as 50Hertz posted. The system is neutral. .

True, but that's not a fault in the system as you posted. It's an abuse which anyone can apply, so your "disagree" is invalid. .

Two laws apply here. The first is the Type Approval law for motor vehicles that has exemptions from being considered a motor vehicle: Exemption (g) is for Off Road, but limits it to vehicles designed for travel on unpaved surfaces, so that doesn't apply. Exemption (i) is for self balancing...

The postal voting system is for anyone, the system does not benefit any particular party, Whether those of any affiliation use or abuse it is an entirely different matter, those of any affiliation or none can do either. .

Fundamentally it's the Type Approval regulation 168/2013 that exempts pedelcs from being considered motor vehicles if they comply with certain conditions. One such is that power must cease when pedalling stops. And the Type Approval legislation only applies to manufacturers. The 1983 EAPC...
