Mate, you know as well as I do there aren't any unless you are ridiculously rich and hate poor people.Genuine question: when and where are any Brexit benefits going to happen?
I’m hoping by the next election when in any sane country the Conservatives would be put out of action for a generation.Genuine question: when and where are any Brexit benefits going to happen?
The response to Hancock in the jungle doesn't exactly inspire confidence that will happen. I'd love to say voting in a reality tv is very different to voting in a general election but if his image can be rehabilitated that quickly who knows where the conservatives will be by the time the next election rolls round.I’m hoping by the next election when in any sane country the Conservatives would be put out of action for a generation.
Sadly I think you are right. People still like characters in their politicians and many are very gullible when presented with posh people.The response to Hancock in the jungle doesn't exactly inspire confidence that will happen. I'd love to say voting in a reality tv is very different to voting in a general election but if his image can be rehabilitated that quickly who knows where the conservatives will be by the time the next election rolls round.
That’s my thought. I mean just brazenly carrying on with a third PM this year and being massively down in the polls while the economy falls to pieces, most would do the honourable thing and let someone else have a go and inherit the mess.The response to Hancock in the jungle doesn't exactly inspire confidence that will happen.

Well, you can to some extent as every increase in population requires more land for housing, food, commerce; more energy to feed the extra demand created; more resources used up. Then that population creates waste that needs to be dealt with.Yes the argument that our problems especially climate change is down to overpopulation isn't right at all. The problem is the behaviour of the richest few.

So the dinosaurs were right to not be worried about asteroid strikes then?Because it produces a lot of energy. As I said it’s shark attacks and plane crashes: big and scary when it happens but very very rare. And our animal brains aren’t good with those sorts of things.
I want to know who is dying from solar? Installers falling off the roof?
Did you see Truss’ Japan deal actually reduced trade? Amazing.
So the dinosaurs were right to not be worried about asteroid strikes then?
It’s not surprising really. There might be a number of factors but the reality is our trade deal is an almost carbon copy of the EU trade deal with Japan, all the analysis I’ve read is that the EU’s is more complete than ours meaning that there’s more opportunity for trade with our neighbours making them a more attractive trading partner so we can’t compete in many areas with our neighbours. We’ve also as a direct result of Brexit not the Japan trade deal lost our ability to be a gateway destination into the EU for all international businesses meaning we’re being bypassed on shipping.Did you see Truss’ Japan deal actually reduced trade? Amazing.

It was an open joke in Australia. Political commentators talking in astonishment about it and MP openly laughing about how they shafted us on TV. Then there’s the small matter that we apparently need 2000 Australia trade deals to regain what we’ve lost from the EU due to brexit.But an entirely different disaster because it gives away more than it gets. It takes some skill to be this spectacularly bad at everything they try. This is what happens when you put domestic poll ratings above everything else. It’s all been about “the project” since 2016 Brexit first country second.
Apparently the Australia deal was given some mad political timescale by Truss (G7 appearance or something?) then she literally went to the Aussies and said “what do you want to get it done by this date?” And they took us to the cleaners.
Errrr. The crown can go back on pint glasses so gammons don’t have their nights ruined by unelected bureaucrat in Brussels. The pint glass is always half empty with you isn’t it.Genuine question: when and where are any Brexit benefits going to happen?

People are quite ignorant of the steps until something gets to the ECJ in any case, domestic courts are still primarily making decisions. It'd be interesting to see how many examples there are of a European court overturning the decision made by a domestic court. Certainly in the area I work in (procurement based on EU directives) all of the case law referred to is from domestic courts which suggests to me that very little actually ends up in the European courts.We could always have that couldn’t we? Same as the blue passports (which Croatia has while in the EU).
The only real benefit in most leave voters eyes would be the ending of free movement of people Id imagine. Maybe the ECJ stuff but I fail to believe that was ever a real life concern.
Everyone is a Eurosceptic. Right until they need them. Brexiteers Bamford and Dyson also have a history of using the European courts to try and get their own way. Mind you I think they both lost, might explain at least Dyson stance because he was once a dribbling europhile and said not joining the Euro was a massive mistake for British industry.On the subject of European courts its equal parts amusing and depressing that arch Brexiteer Owen Paterson is taking the government to European Court.
But for the number of reactors there’s been very few serious incidents which is why you’re pulling out one from 40 years ago that required people to override safety systems. Systems that have fail safes in modern reactors.
The bottom line is for base load it’s fossil fuels or nuclear and fossil fuels are significantly more dangerous.
Ok, so you've moved away from the nuclear being safer than renewable argument, which was always a bit thin tbh, but you're now positing technology as the saviour against humans doing dumb things whilst ignoring the fact that the technology is controlled and designed by humans.
The technology initially engaged properly in Fukushima in 2011, and yet they still had to evacuate more than 150,000 people. So you don't have to dig back very far to find potential issues even with supposedly up to date processes in a nation that would generally be recognised as technically extremely competent.
Again I'm not anti-Nuclear but thinking that we're somehow immune to the mistakes of our predecessors because our technology, processes, or foresight is now perfect is a fallacy exposed by history.
As for your last bit, in essence saying it's either Nuclear or fossil, that would seem to disregard renewable energy completely, which is odd imho. Is that what you meant to say?
My personal opinion is that the primary drive should be towards renewable, with investment equal to or actually beyond what is currently spent on nuclear power, and then you can look at the minimum nuclear energy requirements needed to take up the slack.
Nuclear is incredibly expensive to commission and decommission, with very long lead and even longer roll-off timescales, and holds an inherent risk that can't be completely ignored. I'd argue that you minimise those problems by looking elsewhere for solutions as much as possible, and then looking at nuclear as the next least worst option. At the moment I think we're going at it the wrong way, as ever though, just imho.
“Over the two years to the end of 2021, Brexit increased food prices by around 6 per cent overall.”
“Over the two years to the end of 2021, Brexit increased food prices by around 6 per cent overall.”
Vs the Brexit pledge of Brexit would lower food prices by 20%. So basically people voted for food prices to be 25% lower than they currently are in reality.
In response to Blackford saying ‘why can’t he admit that Brexit was a mistake’ Sunak went off about ‘controlling our own borders’ in the same session as one of his own backbenchers asked ‘when are we going to stop them crossing the Channel’.“Over the two years to the end of 2021, Brexit increased food prices by around 6 per cent overall.”

He’s not that dense. He just thinks voters are.In response to Blackford saying ‘why can’t he admit that Brexit was a mistake’ Sunak went off about ‘controlling our own borders’ in the same session as one of his own backbenchers asked ‘when are we going to stop them crossing the Channel’.
He also went on about Labour being the party of ‘strikes, high inflation and high debt’. Is he genuinely that dense?
Monster Raving Loonies on the same as UKIP. Makes sense
Labour seat but Tory until 2015 and pretty much in line with seat predictions based on national polling. That swing tho.
Monster Raving Loonies on the same as UKIP. Makes sense
Makes racists feel special being part of a group?Why are UKIP still a thing? UK is I now surely?
