I think we need a review. I read an article many years ago that suggested that if we deployed our nuclear arsenal on the over side of the world the nuclear winter it would create would be so extreme it would wend life as we know it this side of the world. If true I’m not sure why we need so many...

The argument doesn’t even stack up in France anymore. Nuclear in France is about €70 a MWh whereas renewables are about €50 a MWh. If France is the example then the example is France backed the wrong horse in Nuclear energy. If you want a good example to follow for the consumer you need to look...

Encouraged? Did they inform the organisers? Did they “encourage” the organisers to cancel given the intelligence they were getting from friends and foes and indeed their own observations by their own military of build up on the edge of the Gaza Strip next to the location of the festival? Did...

Isn’t it long confirmed (came out in the first week following the attack IIRC) that Israel ignored warnings from its western allies intelligence including the UK and USA and also warnings from some of it’s adversaries intelligence like Saudi Arabia? It seems that they had the opportunity to...

In case you’re not old enough to remember when Blair’s government hoodwinked the country into following the USA into Iraq Charles Kennedy was lambasted by the press for going on anti war demonstrations in much the same way Starmer currently is by elements of the press and opposition leaders for...

No. I’ve checked and double checked. It’s definitely not there

Don’t be silly. All the people who wave the Union Jack flag at Tommy Robinson arranged events and hang them from lampposts are clearly doing it because they love Starmer. That’s how this works.

I wonder if the right wing snowflakes who very publicly flounced of to Dubai are still enjoying the consequences of the right wing doctrine they treasure so much.

Well. It’s getting a right mess isn’t it. Trump, the president of piece and the great negotiator. Almost as if he’s full of shit.
