So there is revenue from North Sea oil - even if it is only tax revenue. In terms of first refusal (by which I assume you mean priority of supply) I would imagine that, in extremis, legislation could be passed to ensure primacy for the UK. So, stopping future North Sea exploration will impact...

Is It? You certainly swallow Reeves’s propaganda.The budget deficit, inflation and unemployment are lower than when Labour last left office. Debt as a percentage of GDP is a lot higher, but then there has been a global pandemic. Also...

Every time I have made a comment suggesting that stopping oil licences isn’t good for the economy, someone (CBA to look back at who) popped up suggesting that isn’t how the global oil market works. Hence that somewhat sarcastic post. Unless the oil market is different for Norway.

It’s bonkers, whilst pretty much anything is possible, those concerns are highly improbable.

I think “a hotbed” is a bit far. France a hotbed of rioting, yes.

Is that how the global oil market works?

Biggest IT outage in history, under a Labour government. Sort it out Starmer.

Lived in France for a couple of years. If you are an immigrant in France, if you need an interpreter, you pay for it yourself. Here, typically the institution you are dealing with will provide one. To be a permanent resident you need to be able to show some proficiency in the language. It is...

I was hoping someone else thought that.

They plan for a level of crime. They don’t plan for arseholes climbing the gantries on the M25.

This would have been unplanned expenditure caused by some arseholes holding up a major roadway. If the Met balanced their books, what other things did they not commit expenditure to. Car theft, burglary, shop lifting? Anyway, wasn’t my suggestion, I’m quite happy with their mail time. It was...

So they conspired to plan a crime which was committed, therefore by your standards deserving of a longer sentence.

You know they would take it upon themselves to clean all the lanes of the motorway. Very slowly.

It’s not the zoom meeting per se, as you well know. It was conspiring to disrupt the M25. If the zoom meeting had been to discuss pumpkin soup recipes, they wouldn’t have been charged.

So the policing costs were estimated at £1.1m and “economic costs“ at £765k. There will be other bits and pieces, let’s round it up to £2m. Where are they going to find £400k each, unless Dale Vince bails them out?
