Brits do not follow their guide. At the very least the searches part. Police have a right to search you and will use force to do it if you try to stop them.

Bullies often don't realise what they're doing is bullying. It was just a bit of bants, you shouldn't be so sensitive about it.

Ok. What's your point? Did I argue that nuclear was unsafe?

Just because it's safe doesn't mean it's the best we have right now.

• It's massively expensive to set up
• It's massively expensive to decommission at end of life
• Almost half of the fuel you need to run them comes from a country dangerously close to Russia. (This one is slightly less of a thing now that Russia has bogged itself down in Ukraine)
• It takes a long time to set up.
• It has an image problem.

A combination of solar, wind, wave, tidal, more traditional hydro and geothermal (most of the cost with this is digging the holes. We've got a lot of deep old mines that can be repurposed) can easily be built to over capacity and or alongside adequate storage is the best solution in the here and now.

In politics (well under FPTP at least), like in the service you're often forced to choose the lesser of two weevils.

We need PR. These super broad church parties don't fit society. You should be able to vote for the party you want to be in power, rather than against the one you don't want. The current Tory massive majority was won with around 43% of the vote. That should mean they have 43% of the representatives.

Ice cold water with a slice of lemon.

Fuck off frog face.

I think if the issues with russian gas have shown us anything it's that energy security should be treated as being much more important than it has in the past. So maybe it should come from tax payers money and be thought of as part of a broad national defence strategy.

I'd argue it's not even that we don't have a solution.

It's we need to implement the solution. There's absolutely tonnes to energy storage solutions ( batteries, storing it as heat, storing it as potential energy) that would work well on grid scale, just need to have their implementation catch up with generation capacity.

Really confusing way to show it with multiple countries appearing and disappearing.
