Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Germany’s dash for coal continues apace. Following on the opening of two new coal power stations in 2012, six more are due to open this year, with a combined capacity of 5800MW, enough to provide 7% of Germany’s electricity needs.
Including the plants coming on stream this year, there are 12 coal fired stations due to open by 2020. Along with the two opened last year in Neurath and Boxberg, they will be capable of supplying 19% of the country’s power.

In addition, 27 gas fired stations are due on line, which should contribute a further 17% of Germany’s total electricity generation. (Based on 2011 statistics, total generation was 575 TwH).
It is worth noting that none of these coal or gas plants will be built with Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS), which is a legal requirement for coal generators in the UK, despite the fact that the technology does not yet exist on a commercial scale.
The UK government is so desperate to get out of the corner it has boxed itself into, that it wants to hand out huge sums to subsidise the cost of developing CCS technology. According to their “Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy” (Page 31), they want to support the cost of four commercial scale CCS projects.


so why should trump give a toss germany do not they are going to build my coal fired stations the uk shutting them under eu law german telling them to get stuffed

Exclusive: Labour election campaign boosted by fake Twitter accounts

Labour’s election campaign is being boosted by fake social media accounts that pump out positive messages about Jeremy Corbyn thousands of times per day, The Daily Telegraph can reveal.

One in eight messages about British politics posted on Twitter are generated by automated accounts known as web robots or “bots”.

Individual accounts each post up to 1,000 messages per day attacking Theresa May or promoting Labour. They are set up to look like personal user accounts to trick other users into thinking real people are backing Labour. Automated accounts also back other parties, but to a far smaller degree.

They were described last night by Oxford University researchers as “worrying” because of the power of automated accounts to “distort” and influence views. Twitter is predominantly used by young people, who are also more likely to be Labour supporters.

Have the Cons got some blockbuster tactic ready and waiting or just lying down FFS .

pensioners some get 120 later born 160 all approx all unfair a pensioner is a pensioner. labour to put council tax up, so your no better off voting labour.

the big question no one asks of lab policy £ 10 a hour min wage that's 400 a week so skill workers will want a big rise . or it would be pointless to study and get degrees
then you see prices jump . then you look at the old who retired before april 2016 £122
aweek they worked in the days of very little pensions and if you did not work for the state you did not have a wage never mind a private pension

so our are these good old people going to live and those that went without to buy their home will not get any help . they will just have to starve or freeze to death

ask corbyn the question but alas no one will the bbc will never ask the question

Vicky,

The cons just lying as per usual.

But would you trust the Telegraph?

i certainly wouldn't take the telegraph at face value, any more than i would the mail or the mirror or the socialist worker

however, the FT puts out a daily bulletin on the day's election campaigning and that is properly balanced and without histrionics

have done my poll[ con] to have 63 seat majority

Bit in the Telegraph today, saying Corbyn is going to help the 'Travelling community' get legal aid to help fight legal challenges about them parking illegally on other people's land!

I couldn't believe it! If this is right, Corbyn is a nutter!

Cue Fred

Manuel,

p77258

Does that mean the FT agrees with you or you agree with the FT?

Exec.

JC is also providing scissors for those with ingrowing toe-nails!

You might be in luck.

i'ld be happy with 40/50
as always, there are so many unknowns

FT - neither; they give a balanced view ... try reading it instead of guessing ...... it's even a free!

FT Election Countdown
comes straight to my e-mail

GEORGE Cue Fred .....

Fred called me a gypsy once (after the days when i was Hitler) he hates travellers .

Seems that one tory villain has been caught!

South Thanet Tory candidate Craig Mackinlay charged over expenses

-=-=-=-

Manuel,

FT is a reasonable paper as were the Times and Telegraph at one time, the latter now seems to be print corruptions of the "truth".


Thought you would be an "Expressive man".

oh no; not again!
you got it wrong once more :-)
