Anecdotal but a mate of mine was viciously attacked in the street in 2019 in an unprovoked attack. Fractured cheek bone, broken nose bad concussion amongst various other injuries and 2 weeks in hospital. Aside from the fact that it only got to court early this year the guy who was very well...

Stop it Nick, you’re killing me. Go and have a cold drink and chill out.

Ha ha ha. Case in point. Cheers for that Nick.

Heats obviously getting to some on here. Have a cold drink and chill out.

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.
