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.

big land owners in the uk get billions in land subsides that is why the bill is being pushed though not because it produces little power .
it is a big con to make the rich richer

I would have thought that tidal power like they have in the Bristol channel and in Scotland would have been a great answer to our power shortages....never hear much about that at all....

Maybe not quite dead - Abandoned Severn tidal power project to be reconsidered

PM asks to re-examine £30bn scheme to build barrage across the estuary that promises to generate 5% of UK's electricity

An interesting insight - Tony Fadell: From iPod father to thermostat start-up

What a waste of time nd money the Leveson report has been. Does anyone care if people's phone messages have been played back. I certainly don't and I doubt that hardly anyone else does either. Just work for lawyers as usual.

hay for once i agree 100% total watse of money
but it was all brought about to stop the press reporting the MPs
stealing tax payers money and nothing else it was to protect the
thiefs in government .the uk is run by a cesspit of corruption

Skylon spaceplane engine concept achieves key milestone

The UK company developing an engine for a new type of spaceplane says it has successfully demonstrated the power unit's enabling technology.

Reaction Engines Ltd (REL) of Culham, Oxfordshire, ran a series of tests on key elements of its Sabre propulsion system under the independent eye of the European Space Agency (Esa).

Esa's experts have confirmed that all the demonstration objectives were met.

Hays,

I do not like "censorship" other than self "censorship".

The problem with the present Press regulations is that the press able to abuse the weaker members of "society", who may not have the wit or wherewithal to challenge the false “allegations”, which are made against them.

This has led to the numerous abuses by the larger mass circulation papers. Also the concentration of the media and press in a smaller number of hands is dangerous.

Although, I would prefer it different, I think a regulatory body with “statutory” power to make “proper” investigations and if a misdemeanour, serious abuse of power, or more serious criminal action has taken place, to be able to refer to the courts, or be able to bring in appropriate fines etc..

The “regulatory” body has to be “politically” independent, not at the whim of any incumbent government, but to represent current public opinion, but not dependent on it.

How one accomplished the structure and membership of such a body is a problem.

"How one accomplished the structure and membership of such a body is a problem.".. Well I could be available if the price is right.. What they offering?

A hole in the head if you don't agree.

In that case I decline -):

Early days yet but sounds like another black day for democracy in this Country after listening to the Leveson conclusions so far.

I would love to see the Babbling Brooks and the Cameroon's LOL Text Messages.

Perhaps, they would like to be back in contact.

===============

Cameron's is trying to whitewash his relationships.

The public won't credit him.

-------------

The public don't care about leveson.

So you've asked them all have you then H/S?

Hays,


I think you mean, the tories don't care for the Leveson's report.


Might effect the party funds and propaganda outlets.

This cons party's leadership is smelling fishier and fishier to many.

A bit like a tub of old herrings.

Cameron should go for another ride with whichever Hunt he prefers.

---------------

Reminds me "birds of feather flock together".

How are your feathers lately.

No, the public don't care. I can't find anyone who cares. Do you?

Yes, I am part of the public and I care!

Well you seem to be the only one. The whole is just trivia. I don't really care if newspapers pay the police for stories either.

As long as they support the party.
