We do. Numbers went up while the threat was being administered. At best it had no effect at worst it had negative effect. You can ignore the facts all you like but it didn’t work. They used to like to point to Australia as justification. Look at the reality in Australia, it didn’t work as a...

This is exactly why it was always going to fail. It was a simplistic answer to a complex question. Just so little understanding of the odds for example of people trying to get here. It literally didn’t matter how many people we sent to Rwanda their odds of dying on route to the UK at pretty much...

The Rwanda scheme never made a blind bit of difference. Cost us £280M for nothing. The numbers arriving by boats actually went up. If £28M a year has any effect at all it will be money far wiser spent than the Rwanda scheme.

I think that’s missing the point. The point was that ministers didn’t understand how to get policy moving so government became stagnant. The constraints you’re talking about already exist, it was incompetence that was the major constraint in delivering policy. Or that was the suggestion in the...

Oh there’s many different types of hydrogen. The most readily available is a byproduct of oil and gas refining so evidently there’s a need to invest in green hydrogen production, it’s happening, just not as quickly as it needs to. But with regards to the article you can say the exact same of...

China is having a major push on hydrogen vehicles too. China sees hydrogen very much as the future, especially in the home market, sales were up 70% last year alone for hydrogen vehicles. They’ve also developed a way of producing hydrogen from sea water without desalinating it first which is a...

So it’s no different to petrol or diesel then in that respect but without the pollution. Batteries only stack up on efficiency if you start the clock much later in the production process or in some cases at point of use. I’m not sure if Toyota are backing off but Hyundai and BMW are joining the...

You mean like petrol? As a side note Hydrogen is only dangerous when it’s not handled correctly, that issue has long been solved. Secondly a hydrogen fuel cell doesn’t charge a battery, the cell is essentially a very simple generator with no moving parts. Hydrogen goes in and electricity and...

I’ll have to see if I can find it but there was an article out not long after the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle saying that basically all government ministers with very few exceptions have zero idea how government actually works and even less interest in finding out so they announce policies...

Russia would prefer not as that would be a de facto support Russia.

No one was worse than Russia in WW2 with the possible exception of the Japanese. In Berlin there’s a burial ground that has 5000 dead Russian soldiers in it, there’s a big memorial in the centre of a red army soldier waving a sword while holding a child. It’s known locally as the tomb of the...

Sometimes when you’re in a hole it’s better to stop digging. You’re about 2 posts away from going yeah but what about Genghis Khan and his Mongolian horde.

Here’s the thing, no other European or Western country has ever done it on the scale Russia does and to make matters worse it’s visibly escalating in occupied Ukraine too. What you’re doing in trying to draw an equivalence is pretty grotesque to be blunt with you. I seriously think you need to...

It doesn’t need pointing out, that’s why it’s diluting it. Especially when Russia does it XL.

Especially if it’s with Russia. Nice way to dilute it though.

It must be. For starters she obviously thinks she’s still relevant and has an opinion people want to hear. She couldn’t even retain her safe seat at the GE.

I love the way you use this one as if it somehow makes me stupid and you smart when the truth is if you had have spent 5 minutes on wiki yourself you would see how stupid and inaccurate your straw man argument was in the first place.

In fact, if you look into it Russia has a bit of history of shooting down commercial airliners. They shot down a 747 travelling from Korea to the USA in 83 killing almost 300 people. Straw man arguments in attempt to justify Russia shooting down commercial airliners because they’re no worse than...

Ahh that one. From about 25 years ago when Russia had a Vichy government in Ukraine so had no interest in invading it. Wondered WTF he was going on about for a moment. Wasn’t it launched from a Russian military installation based in Ukraine? So essentially it was still the Russians.

Errr. Pakistan? Another yank in power with absolutely no idea what’s going on in the world. Perfect VP for Trump.
