chrisp65 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 From 30 years experience of dealing with Planning Authorities, I can confirm that some of them are very much about who you know and what you can do for the guys in the inner circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 errr As many point out, they voted AGAINST weekly testing for NHD/Care workers, then amended it to congratulate themselves? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of it meaningless. It's games to them. The motion wouldn't have led to anything other than shock and the change won't either. The tories gonna tory, Labour's gonna Labour. I'd have voted for Labour's motion, but it had no force - it wasn't going to change anything even if passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 It would be interesting to know if this EHRC Commissioner who had donated £7000 to a former Tory MP and £7000 to the Tory party and then not declared either donation was involved in the EHRC's fairly inexplicable decision not to investigate Islamophobia in the party.

Xann Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Quote 'We've bought the wrong satellites': UK tech gamble baffles experts The UK government’s plan to invest hundreds of millions of pounds in a satellite broadband company has been described as “nonsensical” by experts, who say the company doesn’t even make the right type of satellite the country needs after Brexit. The investment in OneWeb, first reported on Thursday night, is intended to mitigate against the UK losing access to the EU’s Galileo satellite navigation system. But OneWeb – in which the UK will own a 20% stake following the investment – currently operates a completely different type of satellite network from that typically used to run such navigation systems. “The fundamental starting point is, yes, we’ve bought the wrong satellites,” said Dr Bleddyn Bowen, a space policy expert at the University of Leicester. “OneWeb is working on basically the same idea as Elon Musk’s Starlink: a mega-constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit, which are used to connect people on the ground to the internet. “What’s happened is that the very talented lobbyists at OneWeb have convinced the government that we can completely redesign some of the satellites to piggyback a navigation payload on it. It’s bolting an unproven technology on to a mega-constellation that’s designed to do something else. It’s a tech and business gamble.” Giles Thorne, a research analyst at Jeffries, agreed. “This situation is nonsensical to me,” he said. “This situation looks like nationalism trumping solid industrial policy.” Grauniad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Mark Sedwill mutually-consented out as Cabinet Secretary and National Security Adviser. Brexit nutcase David Frost replaces him as the latter. Presumably someone who shares their vision like Steve Bannon or Thomas Mair can be the former. Hopeless lunatics starting to fill all the main positions of power. Buckle up. Edited June 28, 2020 by ml1dch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the alternative was Jez of the IRA legalizing the burning of synagogues, then turning the country into the BDR with himself as leader for life, and Diane Abbott doing all the sums.
