You’d think with the amount of gear he smokes he have forgotten rather than forgiven
Some of the stories coming out of his US plants (worker treatment in particular) make this mixed news for me. Plus his record of acquiring huge govt subsidies means, again, whilst this looks like bad news, it might not be as bad as it seems.
the bad news is that the centre of technology for next gen cars has gone to Germany when it comes to Europe. With the German car manufacturers investing heavily in electric and hydrogen power cells. The UK may do scientific research in this arena (the current Li battery tech came out of Cambridge), but we will no longer be exploiting it.
As with almost any tech around renewable energy, we import it all.
sad fucking times, truly sad.

We do now. Around the turn of the millennium I had some dealings with BP Solar who at the time were the only profitable large-scale PV manufacturer in the world. They’re history now though.

Back in '88 I had a short secondment on the Observer sponsored by Esso and had a chat with a senior bloke there before starting. He asked that, should I happen to interview a government minister, I might enquire just what the Government’s energy policy was because he couldn’t work it out.
Things haven’t changed.

Ouch!
Blimey! I just had Steve Baker in person on my doorstep. I made it fairly clear I wasn’t going to be voting for him…

Excellent, did he put you in a ‘Brexit Hardman’ chokehold.

Is that from the ‘NHS’ document ?
From the minutes of those meetings, yes
No matter what they say about the current withdrawal agreement, I still have this nagging doubt that they will ever get it through, or even want to get it through parliament and that they will happily revert to no-deal. Blaming others for that eventuality, of course.
Well, it was Parliament that blocked the WAB and not Johnson’s insistence on a daft timetable. There is absolutely no sense that end of next year as a deadline for a Trade Agreement is utter lunacy either.

A nice left hook counter to the antisemitism smears. It’s a powerful leaver if he pulls it right. He only has to plant ‘doubt’ and keep feeding it. For all the championing of freedoms, nationalism and promised land trade deals with the Falklands,Trumpton and other cards du Jour. Health, may well trump them, without it none of that has any meaning. He won’t, but he could, start by looking at the insolvency figures in the US of people due to medical bills, child mortality and a few other cheery subjects to illustrate the cunt wrapped in bollox plan the cuntservatives desire for Britain.

Aren’t medical expenses the biggest cause of personal debt in the USA?
I think people in this country are totally ignorant to how medical insurance works in the USA and that something as simple as breaking your leg and pretty much cost more than your insurance may well cover, then it’s up to you to find the difference.
It’s not just the cost above the policy cover, many people with insurance are still being bankrupted because the policy excess can be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
I 100% believe that another tory term + Brexit will mean the UK will go over to a US based medical insurance system in time.
