We seem to be living in interesting times, sounds like a military coup is happening in Turkey.

Hang on, Hancock announced that PHE had been pulled out of track n trace weeks back and it was all being outsourced to third party contractors.

Watching the big announcement ref the new drive to wind energy etc etc, I wonder if anyone has pointed out to Boris or Nicola that virtually none of the Mono piles or jackets currently being installed around the UK coastline are made here, same applies to the turbines and blades etc. The ships, barges, jack ups etc are almost exclusively foreign flagged, owned and crewed. The companies whom are actually putting these in are predominantly overseas energy providers looking to make huge returns in the long run off the brutish consumer. Jackets constructed in of all places China ??, and UAE yards with huge amounts of cheap labour then shipped half way around the world in the name of green energy ?‍♂️?‍♂️. 

The wasted opportunities are bordering on criminal yet it never seems to even get a mention. We are not the new Saudi of wind energy at all. we are nothing more than an unregulated cash cow right now getting a few scraps of work from an industry that should be providing highly skilled training and jobs for tens of thousands of UK workers not lining the pockets of multi national companies and shareholders, 

I despair at the lack of vision, ambition and foresight etc of UK management and successive governments.
