The world is in one helluva mess and so is this country

bushy trying to do humour on NSC. Awkward.

Not half as awkward as the most earnest, PC, bore ever to have posted on the internet.

sadly no, it actually leads to higher prices, because a floor has been set in the market below which prices wont go. (not that it makes much difference for us in the western world, where the raw material cost is a small fraction of the cost of most foods).

Does this not assume that in all instances and at all times there is a natural surplus ? Some element of production would not exist without subsidy, which would reduce supply and hence increase the price of raw materials in times of scarcity.

Thanks for returning back to your usual caricature.

All these crazy Islamists in Africa creating mayhem at Allah's bidding (apparently).

More of them (under the guise of Al Quaeda) doing exactly the same in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Civil war in Syria.

The Israel/Palestine problem still ongoing.

Tehran ruled by mad mullahs and maybe building a nuclear bomb.

The gun lobby (NRA) in the USA refusing to back down over gun control.

Overpopulation.


And in the UK:

The obscene amounts of money EU membership costs the UK taxpayer.

Immigration.

Welfare costs.

The ridiculous move to build more windfarms.



I have seldom felt so negative about the way things are going in the world or in the UK. One big fecking mess. Why the hell can't we live together in peace and harmony?

Maybe NSC has the solution to all the world's ills.

Wibble!

We have a three party state ( despite what UKIP and the Greens might suggest ) :

Tories - mostly pro-EU
Labour - mostly pro-EU
Lib Dem - completely pro-EU

Given ninety odd percent of people will vote for one of these parties, in many cases because they're stupid enough to state "my father voted for x all his life so I'll vote x all my life" - it's hardly a democracy. Add in that most of the policies of all three main parties are almost identical and we clearly don't have a true democracy.

Don't get me wrong, I understand where you are coming from, the electorate gets the government it deserves etc.. Let's say hypothetically though, that UKIP were to poll late teens low 20's in the next GE, I would imagine that would be enough to send a pretty stark message to the big 3 regardless of the number of seats it were to give them (if any.) It's up to euro-sceptics supporters of all parties to provide sufficient narrative to encourage people to act. At present the electorate doesn't deem it to be a big enough issue I suspect, that in itself doesn't mean democracy isn't working, it means the Euro sceptics have lost/are losing the debate.

What UKIP have managed to do, correct me If I am wrong, is open up the debate about the EU and Immigration. I am noticing Farage is getting more a platform, which I think is good.

Yeah, come to my door and show me.

That wasnt too difficult was it ? if i do make a trip to prague i'll be happy to, though its unlikely at the moment,and i'd hazard a guess that is the reasoning behind your post , there is more likelihood that you'll come overe here before i do, why not let me know when you are , i'll be more than happy to meet up and show you.

Which is democracy in action and exactly my point. Don't underestimate the serious hell a swing to UKIP could be for the Tories. My advice to a Euro-sceptic of any political pursusion would be to get behind Farage if they care about it enough. He's the one with the platform at present.

There's two central planks to the arguments around renewables;
1) Do we accept that i) man-made global warming is happening ii) that it's a bad thing and iii) that we should do something about it?
2) If the answer to the above is 'yes' - how do we develop efficient renewables technology?

One of the primary routes the government has gone down the road of subsidising people to use renewable generation methods - assuming that over time increased take-up of these devices will drive demand and increase private sector R&D in the sector. They could alternatively have simply invested in R&D, but the danger in that strategy is that you end up with a 'white elephant', at least until total supplies of coal and gas run out (by which time we're probably well past any kind of 'tipping point' in terms of climate change).[/Q


1.)Global warming is not necessarily happening but climate change is,always has done and always will do.
2.)Man's effect on climate change, if there is any,is virtually impossible to quantify.
3.)Global warming/climate change is not necessarily bad for everyone.
4.)Better off using technology to learn how to live with climate change and making the most of it rather than try and change something that we can't.
