What? Have you missed ‘the hard left’ laying into Labour MPs and Starmer just on the previous page?
What? Have you missed ‘the hard left’ laying into Labour MPs and Starmer just on the previous page?I mean, just look at your reactions. I post something which shows there is corruption in the EU and all we get is Brexit, Tories, 'look how great they are for dealing with it efficiently', and as I said; sarcasm, denial, whataboutery, and emoji's. In reality, the only relevant brexit point here is that so many people voted to leave because of these kind of attitudes in the first place. A complete inability to critique (let alone acknowledge) any of the negatives of the EU sensibly.
If I had posted about a ring of Tories being corrupt (which frankly they can burn for as well), an interaction like this wouldn't be happening. It is just such a shame. There are some really intelligent people on here, but the inability to call out something shit because it's 'your side' is extremely frustrating and why no one else bothers to post in here any more. I'll leave it at that.
They should just abolish the European Parliament tbh
Who's 'They'?

Some good news
Nuclear fusion - as it happened: Scientists reveal 'limitless clean energy' breakthrough
Follow updates as scientists announced a major breakthrough that could lead to "basically unlimited" carbon-free energynews.sky.com
Looks like it’s still 20-30 years away from commercialisation reading that but still great news. Aside from anything else it’s progress that has been hard to come by and should increase fusion funding which has been pretty pitiful up to now.

they had some boffin on 5Live from Edinburgh University and she thought it could be as little as 10.
Not covered in the article but there's also a large project of a similar ilk in France which the UK is a big investor in.
Japan big on it too.they had some boffin on 5Live from Edinburgh University and she thought it could be as little as 10.

Everything I’ve seen says closer to 30, but who knows? My only worry is does it stop people taking action on clean energy production now.
Clearing a backlog is good, you can't set limits on refugees though, you just can't. Nor can you redefine it all just to suit your desires!Ive just read the bbcs Sunak article (didn’t hear speech) and struggling to see the issue. clearing the backlog is good for everyone…the public and the claimants. At the moment we’re got a load of people who might have a valid/genuine claim who are stuck in limbo. we should also be trying to dissuade people who aren’t genuine asylum seekers from entering the country illegally not just because of the ridiculous holding costs involved but again, their claims are clogging up the system for genuine claimants.
What’s missing is an acknowledgment that there needs to be processing centres away from the U.K. where people can submit an asylum claim legally. Until the government has the balls to accept this we’ll continue with this mess
What’s all this anti immigration stuff being talked about though ?? It’s illegal immigration that Sunak was talking about. If it’s true that France, Germany etc are rejecting almost 100% of Albanian asylum seeker claims then no wonder so many are chancing their arm getting into the U.K. so we’ve got to look at our system. Net migration was 500k+ this year, that’s hardly anti immigration.

I see you've dropped the 'safe' prefix.
This is the time of year when we build a snowman, not a straw man.Are you still on about fission? It’s safe. I’ve shown you the data. Why are you bringing this up again? Don’t tell me you’re against fusion too!

What argument have I invented for you? You don’t think fission is safe despite the evidence and you’re bringing it up in a discussion on fusion.
Has this not been affected by Brexit? I know a lot if our scientific initiatives with EU countries were negatively affected.they had some boffin on 5Live from Edinburgh University and she thought it could be as little as 10.

Some combination of the Commission and the Council.The EU should abolish the EU parliament?

No transparency then?Some combination of the Commission and the Council.
Oh, and you are attributing stuff to me which I did not say.
Just a small thing.

Well you’d need to tweak the roles of the Council and the Commission to allow for that, but my point is that the European Parliament doesn’t deliver value for money and doesn’t serve an obvious purpose in European democracy. In its current form it’s a bit of a talking shop/gravy train. If you only want it there to scrutinise the work of the Commission, surely there are more efficient ways to do that?No transparency then?

Well members of the Council are elected aren’t they?Would you have no elected reps?

Bit like the suffragettes. Keep plugging away and good things will happen.On nuclear fusion-so pleased for the scientists involved, it's taken decades of work to get to this point.
In science sometimes it’s a question of waiting for the technology to arrive to make the next step possible. Others it’s a question of who has the right vision.Bit like the suffragettes. Keep plugging away and good things will happen.
