Tony Blair: “The one thing I’m absolutely certain of political, I’m certain of this, is any compromise that involves us abiding by European rules outside of Europe is never going to attract the British people,” I am not sure he's right on this. He means we have to choose between brexit and...

that will be her letter of resignation. There will be plenty of candidates who will claim that circling the square is the problem for the EU because the EU needs us and our money more than we need them.

I don't think she has any trick. She will play the patriotic tune, no UK PM can accept such an EU diktat, veer off the subject of the Irish border and move on to a shiny future of frictionless trade with the rest of the world. The problem with the people who sell such a vision is that they don't...

you don't die because of 18% oxygen in the air you breathe, otherwise people would die going up in altitude where the oxygen is less, 18% in oxygen is what you get at around 2,000 metre altitude. You die because of the pH change, CO2 dissolved in the plasma forms carbonic acid, lowering the...

it's only insoluble because of the spoiling tactics by the hard brexiters. If we don't have red lines, the whole brexit thing can be much less chaotic. Sooner or later, even people with less understanding about imports and exports will come to accept that the EU has much higher standard than the...

we will in the summer. Thank you for asking Boris.

a recent poll carried out by ICM found 49% thought Brexit would have a negative impact with 24% thinking positive. If there is a second referendum, Scotland, Wales and NI would vote remain, only England may still vote for brexit.

staff know how to get the most out of a 13A fuse.

each human hemoglobin molecule has 4 sites, each site has two carbon chains, in biochemistry, we usually use the letter R to denote the carbon chains. They can be big or small, that does not matter, but they have one weak bond each available for binding with something (or together to form longer...

you misunderstand the chemistry, zlatan. The CO poisoning is different to CO2 poisoning. CO poisoning is via the reaction between CO gas and hemoglobin, forming a carbonyl ligand between the Hb and the CO. The main thing is the bond between carbon and oxygen in a carbonyl group is a double bond...

oh.. those were the days my friend, we thought they never end... Your memory may have been affected by high concentration of CO2.

about 2% by volume for causing certain death, although it can kill from as little as 1%. CO2 is a narcotic. You can easily die from narcotic poisoning. Of course, if you are suffocated, you are brain dead before the heart muscles and other muscles stop and die. crossed with danidl's post His...

4% by volume is 4% concentration. A mole of gas at room temperature occupies about 24 litres, A mole of Oxygen, Nitrogen, CO2 have the same volume but of course not the same weight.

that's not correct, zlatan. CO2 kills with just one part in a hundred and irritation in one part per thousand. Something that kills so easily can't be called mildly toxic. There are not many ways CO2 can be removed from the atmosphere, the trees are the only way we have in towns and cities. I...

zlatan, do you know toxic CO2 is? 1% in concentration can kill. Much less than that can cause irritation and respiratory problem. We have too much carbon in our air already in our cities. LPG is less toxic but still toxic.

that's precisely the tactic of the hard brexiters. They drive everybody mad with their incoherence. They know exactly what they do and the right wing press are only too happy to oblige.

both seem to blame the drop in exchange rate of the GBP. The real reasons are probably brick and mortar, google, ebay direct from China, amazon, CPC farnell etc. Both companies have too many premises and employ large numbers of shop assistants.

on another note, Maplin called in the receivers, 2,500 staff working for them. Maplin started in Southend in 1976.

Evan Davis suggested a national government with a soft brexit PM (Amber Rudd) until phase 2 negotiation is completed (October) then new GE. https://twitter.com/EvanHD/status/968832070314352640 Is it just possible we would arrive at a soft Brexit national government? Labour, LDs, SNP etc plus...
