    Who owns Britain?

    Nobody promised you anything when we left (other than Leave liars) . We are the only ones who can change our lives. This should involve re-joining, as otherwise we will continue to make the same mistakes. The UK has to get over its post-colonial mindset.

    Who owns Britain?

    While you may have a point in some regards, from your link: "15 Nov 2019 — Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says privatisation has doubled since 2010." New Labour's work on the NHS resulted in vast improvements in resources and services. We might not like that they didn't stick to socialist purity...

    Trumps peace deal

    I suspect the timing is not a coincidence. Russians are gaining ground (albeit not much), and they will be looking at energy shortages and blackouts throughout Russia as oil refineries and power plants are bombed. Ukraine is well adapted to blackouts (most have small diesel generators, and...

    Well done wind

    There's a limit to how much storage is viable, even now costs are coming down. We may be able to reduce gas use, but will always need it for this long dark nights when there is very little wind. Its just not worth having that much storage for what could happen once per year or even less. The...

    Well done wind

    Speaking as someone who used to make valves, they don't need to be anymore expensive than other valves, unless the material used in more expensive. The tolerances shouldn't be finer, and the quality of finish shouldn't need to be different (even if they are, this can be accounted for quite...

    USB Sockets

    One of my USB sockets has failed again. This is a MK socket with two USB-A sockets in it. The mains sockets are fine, but the USB sockets seem to fail after about a year. We just use the USB socket for charging phones. Are there any better makes of USB socket? Or am I doing something...

    Well done wind

    Very true. And fear has resulted in over regulation in many respects to fission. While we want safe designs, we are in a situation where things like the valves used have to be to a nuclear standard and much greater cost. That sounds sensible, until you realise that they are the same valves...
