Not sure if you intended to put this post here, because I didn't notice the post you were responding to, but - I'd be interested in how aluminium batteries compare with lithium as regards gravimetric energy density and volumetric energy density. I'm no expert on this by any means, but I have...

Are you suggesting he is like Musk?

I wonder if that dimple in one end of that hinge pin was formed by some sort of riveting process and has swelled the pin inside the hole at that end. Just imagining how it might be formed, if the flat end of the pin was supported on a flat surface in some sort of hammer press and a domed, or...

Skip the first three minutes and watch it.

Human Rights Act Nonsense. This man belongs in a cage and so does the lunatic Southport Murderer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz95kggw7nxo https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckge2qdr88eo Both of these have been able to do serious harm to prison officers because they are allowed to...

OMG!! Horrible. I just had three mini pork pies defrosted from the freezer and a bottle of low alcohol beer. If I'd read that post before I ate them, I'd have had to put them in the bin. :)

The civil service is notorious - absolutely NOTORIOUS for moving abject failures sideways and even promoting them. The key takeaway from the video if you had really watched it and taken it in is not that Cummings wants to run everything himself, but that from deep experience of working with the...

Arguing and speculating for the sake of it aside, the real issue we can all probably agree with is that too many drivers drive without proper attention to what they are doing MOST of the time. All of us have lost attention now and then and shook ourselves back to reality and stopped and took a...

I listed the managerial accomplishments he has earlier in the thread. They are far greater and more substantial than any i have had to deal with, and i dare say the same is true of your career. Did you run and win a campaign for a national referendum which resulted in all the pundits choking...

Of course Brian Martin is typical. Why else are so many major projects a disaster? READ THIS: https://chatgpt.com/share/689c6341-fc7c-8001-967d-6d7439892f6f

You miss the point entirely. Cummings is a managerial expert. When given a task, he gets it done. It is not about whether BREXIT was right or wrong. It is not about whether in the end Boris or Corbyn were the best PM, it IS ABOUT whether Cummings gets things done and whether we might in our...

This fellow is a great kind of migrant. More like him please and less of the ones who arrive on a tractor inner tube and pedal about carrying coffee to bone idle students and worthless wretches. Certainly many many many fewer of the sort who hang about in parks propositioning and fiddling with...

GRENFEL = a civil service disaster. We already dealt with this months ago. They hired a moron to grant permits to material he KNEW was a disaster waiting to happen. HE KNEW. POST OFFICE SCANDAL - again - an arms length civil service type body - the Post Office ran a malign regime and covered...

I don't know or care who SW is. Cummings has never suggested such a thing. Why do you divert the argument with such a rubbish idea. In the video he suggested the boats would stop by next week if the Navy arrested all boats and deported the people for illegal entry and also put the enabling...

If we had a government of ANY type that was worth its salt, it would repeal the Human Rights Act which has paralysed ANY government action against all kinds of problems. WE are prevented from deporting the WORST of criminals by judges claiming their rights will be infringed. Labour too are...

This is boll ox. Cummings is not a conservative. He despises the party's performance. He is issue driven, primarily opposed to bad management in government. He criticises all parties performance. He is about effectiveness and action against problems NOT against immigrants - but against...

I am not interested in US politics and it is confusing and unhelpful to bring that in so I edited out those references. I am talking about Cummings view of the Civil Service only; Whatever the inadequacies of individual ministers (which are legion) we have a system in which civil service...

Prompt was "uk civil service failures" on Google search. Watch this video, I urge you to watch the whole thing. Especially from about minute ten onwards. Cummings is one of the most effective managers we ever had in politics. He ran Vote Leave and Boris Jonson's election campaign in 2019...

What you need to remember is that ALL government action is carried out through teh civil service. Think of it like a surgeon doing robotic surgery. He does not hold the knife or the forceps, he only operates the robotic device remotely. This has direct application to events such as the covid...

I am sure there are some clever and effective civil servants, but as a machine for executing government policy, the system is obstructive and damaging and inept. A few ideas to temper your admiration for the organisation - not that I should have to remind you if you were abreast of the issues...
