Hurray for nuclear power plant.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Bloody right..........and 3 cheers for all the well paid construction work.



Edit.

on the Welsh news last night they were speculating how the drain of construction workers from Wales to Hinckley would put a delay on some big civil engineering projects here.

 

[kurosagi01]

Can't wait to hear about nuclear fallout*insert fallout music here*

 

[the54thvoid]

Can't wait for the power bills to go up to meet the assured income for EDF per unit of energy. Yes to Nuclear but not deals that do not benefit the UK consumer.

I can't help but feel the government walked into a deal that doesn't really benefit anyone but the people making the demand. Nuclear shouldn't cost as much as this. The ongoing costs are always a factor, but the reality is this is going to be late and overbudget, and the cost is already astronomical.

Yup. And the funny thing is, battery storage solutions for green power is starting to gain traction so the intermittent nature of wind/solar will be less and less of an issue in the next few decades. Wind and solar will be viable but unfortunately, the previous labour govt did nothing to look to the long term of the power industry and the current govt has abolished many green schemes and reneged on carbon capture projects.

Hurray for short term thinking.

 

[kurosagi01]

Short term thinking and wasting money is what the UK govt is good at,we've been good at it for years now.

 

[Tatty_Two]

They can waste their money but if they waste mine I will be wasting them, so let me guess, in 10 years time some services will no longer be available on the NHS because their is not the funding to sustain them, mainly because the government is subsidising the Chinese and French by charging over double the existing rate per unit, excellent choice of partners, lets rip of our people in order to line the pockets of others.

I could be wrong but I'd feel more comfortable being looked after by a Chinese cultural ethic than a Western one. We generally think the West is free and wonderful but by God it is nothing of the sort. Democracy is not a thing to love or cherish - your freedom to vote is simply that, a choice of party. That party is not at your beck and call and that party is not there to serve your interests. We can lambast Chinese political rights and human abuses all day long but the West (US, UK and France in particular) have a strange slant on human rights. They seem to stop roughly at being white. Usually male and also wealthy. If you're not white, not male and poor - you are fucked. That is our culture. It doesn't care.

Democracy broke down a long time ago and since then we've been trudging along to pop, soaps and reality TV, buying things people sell to us that we don't need and eating shit we really ought not too. I appreciate Tatty fought for our Government but in reality the last 'just' war was probably WW2. After that it was America's Grand Area plan all the way to present day. Almost every conflict since WW2 has US grubby paws all over it unless it had no 'financial' or vested interest in the outcome. It doesn't matter who was killing who - it matters who is killing US interests. That is our world today. So that is why we're fed anti-Chinese propaganda from our news service, that is why we're told half truths about what China does. We're still selling weaponry to Saudi who are still sponsoring anti Shia Terrorism and bombing civilians in Yemen.

I'm not a patriot and I'm not a consipracy theorist. It just seems so overly apparent to me that our 'free' world was never really free and regardless, we walked past that line a long time ago.

Thats because they've already stolen it, first they steal your sleeps then they'll go for military secrets....right after they cut the power and have their own forces invade under the cover of darkness just like most special operations did in WW2. As a former officer of the British army, your skills maybe needed to form a resistance movement to free Britain. But....


First we free ourselves from the EU. China will be next. Viva le revolution ~

 

[Tatty_Two]

There is no revolution, only suffering on behalf of an ill informed cause

Thats a Vietnamese tactic btw

 

[Tatty_Two]

Thats a Vietnamese tactic btw

Actually Cambodian

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Actually Cambodian

And this is why Le Resistance needs you Tatty, your experience is valuable!

I think the Japanese used to booby trap bodies back in WW2 as well so it seems to be a widely used tactic.

 

[dorsetknob]

In Anticipation of this Chinese invasion ( and does not the Chinese mobilize most of its Troops by bicycle )
Can we practice Tactics with you.

 

[Tatty_Two]

£400 a day and I am yours, that's a clubhouse discount, normally would be £500, £750 for our good Scottish friends, they want independence so that's my international rate
