The Politics Thread

This is the twat that embarrassed himself on Question Time recently.
He then cried about it in his Telegraph column, claiming leftist persecution.
What a ****.

 

Luckily for her it was decided she'd be new party leader a month ago...

 

...and it gets worse

 

Heaven forbid the Tories blame the man himself. That would never do. ****ers.

 

The parallels between Trump and his supporters and Johnson and his are striking. Neither camp realises that responsibility lay with them

 

They know all too well - they just don't care

 

Sorry, but that is not the scientific/engineering way.
The problems that are to be solved have been stated :

- production of a required resource (water)

-preservation and reuse of the resource beyond its
initial production

EVERY potential solution to a problem has a multi-
dimensional profile.(the primary ones I have stated) .
Further considerations (Pareto analysis etc) may
constrain the set of potential solutions.

For the UK, desalination plants appear to be wanting.
And on anything, those that believe otherwise to
whatever the sci/eng consensus is, they are at liberty to
take the "radical steps" and fund it from their OWN POCKETS
(as I professionally do) .

 

Those are hand-ins.

 

Funny how the people who get so insanely triggered by talk of pronouns have no ****ing idea what they are...

Yes, we should definitely listen to the bloke that works for Policy Exchange, a right-wing think tank.
He only wants what's best for Labour. Honest.

 

His Wikipedia makes for interesting reading: he was a member of Labour Students under Blair in spite comparing his politics to Michael Portillo, never attended a constituency meeting because they were too left-wing for him, then worked for Policy Exchange before writing a biography about George Osbourne before saying he was going to flounce off to Washington - but didn't

In other words, ideal material for The Independent Change Hashtag Change Group For Independent UK Change UK Independent Change

He did not, however, attend public school - he just licks the boots of those who do

Your definition of scientific/ engineering I presume?
We already agreed on the need to produce water and preserve what we have and to work on each front.
Pareto's law is the simple 80-20 rule and is irrelevant here. It constrains nothing.

You simply do not agree with me that you could save all the water possible in households and leaks and still be billions of litres per day short.
What evidence do you have that for the UK desalination plants appear to be wanting?
They work well all round the world you just seem to have a mind block against them. Fair enough which is why I am not interested n continuing this discussion further. We need desalination as much as we need nuclear, wind, solar and electric cars. Like all of those the more we produce the cheaper and more efficient they become. The cost is minimal in terms of UK GDP - £15 billion probably invested of ten years against a GDP in that period of something like 800 times that.
Admit that we need the water and start getting off the "we can use commodes" fence.
I rest my case.

Gotta love this guy!

 

Truss stating she'll drop the privileges committee investigation into the Great Leader - which is bollocks anyway, as she has to take it to a vote in Commons - is possibly the most ****ing idiotic thing she's said on the campaign trail...which is no doubt why she's now moving into being outright terrifying

Okay, so she takes it to a Commons vote, this means one of two things happen:
i.) She loses a Commons vote right at the start of her premiership, making her a lame duck right out of the gate as the last PM who lost their first Commons vote...well, now that I mention it, they illegally prorogued Parliament the week before which may be related to them losing six Parliamentary votes in a week
ii.) She wins the Commons vote and immediately paints herself with several layers of toxic ****e left behind by her immediate predecessor, while also getting Owen Patterson's name back to the forefront
