    Putin and covid are the prepared excuses for basically all the Tories **** ups in the last 13 years. Funy that back in 2010 public satisfaction in the NHS was the highest it had ever been since they started to measure it. Now whathas happened to change that in the last 13 years? :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Net Zero Watch director, Dr Benny Peiser, said: "Whether through utter incompetence, or shameful cynicism, the Government, National Grid and Ofgem have put in place an electricity system that allows renewables operators to rip off the consumer left, right and centre. They seem to hold UK households and businesses in contempt."

    I'm waiting for the links to tories gaining from taxpayers expense.

    I can vividly remember both Brown and Blair being bounced by a member of the public during hospital visits when they were PM - you know, the kind of interactions that have you pulling your skeleton out when it's a Tory.

    That's why there's a shift towards storage and a mad rush on the part of developers to get their permission to build across the line. They can see the end of the gold rush coming.

    This Sunak flight to Leeds <doh>

    The man who boasts about tackling climate change takes a flight to Leeds, to a doctor's surgery, for a few photos of him with his tie tucked into his shirt.

    Downing Street claimed he flew to Leeds, on an RAF jet, because it was the "most effective use of his time" ...

    ... surely that would be to actually run the country.

    They're quoting the time as 36 minutes while totally ignoring the 1h drive to Northolt Airport plus the 40m drive to the doctor's. Add on 15m at each end of the flight, and that's around 2h30m whereas the drive is 4h ...

    ... the whole thing was pointless and the jet is actually French so not even advertising British engineering.

    Incidentally, I've never seen my doctor tuck his tie in, not once in sixty years <doh>

    They might be on a sticky wicket there by binning him for vaccine misinformation rather than the Holocaust comparisons (which would have been more than enough imho) mind.

    As we've seen, yesterday's 'misinformation' can be tomorrow's fact. That's not a conspiracy, it's what happens with a new virus and even newer vaccine.

    The National Grid, private owners, have received over £9 billion in dividends and cash buy backs in the past few years.

    Hmm, perhaps that cash would have been better spent on maintenence and upgrade of the infrastructure to be more robust when bad weather hits.

    So then not so many people would have been without heat and light for so long.

    Another privatisation success?

    There is an answer but I don’t know what it is, going back to the way it was is not it, laziest set of workers I’ve ever seen get employed then.

    Nothing has changed re staff, are you joking, there is about half the staff doing the same amount of work for a start. So that should tell you which ones they got rid of.

    I get the point, same with council employees on the housing estate I lived on in the 50's and 60's but I bet none of those workers had heard of tax avoidance, or of-shore bank accounts , their wages would most likely be ploughed back into the local economy, and I recon of the two evils lazy workers are much lessof a problem and easier to sort out. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    But,if they had told the Bank of England to give them the money for capital investment in a new clutch,because they knew it was under pressure doing a lot of miles and about to do many more,all they would then have needed to do would be to put petrol in it for it to continue to run smoothly. No confrontation,no legal,no arrests,no dismissals......more efficiency, together with cost savings galore.
    Who knew.
