  1. Of course they did Mark they could as the title suggests oppose or at least ask the right questions. How many times will you refrain from acknowledging that the opposition wanted more stringent and longer lasting restrictions 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️Ffs mark it’s on record they fought every attempt to ease them. The whole lot of them in Westminster and the Welsh/Scottish equivalents are at fault with a few notable exceptions.
  2. Mark how many times do you want to ignore the fact that the opposition supported every single restriction and lockdown, indeed they demanded more and without fail fought against lifting restrictions at every opportunity, the very few dissenting voices who spoke sense during this were invariably shot down regardless of which party. Regards this situation they are all in it together.
  3. Matt Hancock rejected Chris Whitty's calls to slash Covid quarantine 'because it would show ministers had been wrong' APPLE.NEWS Matt Hancock kept people isolated for two weeks despite expert advice to cut the quarantine... He would be just as well coming on TV and admitting we lied, we deliberately misled the country with the assistance of the MSM using fear as our main weapon to frighten and coerce pleople. Maybe then people might realise what was actually done.
  4. You sense nothing in reality as usual 42, It’s not like it wasn’t blatantly obvious so much was massively wrong at the time, at least be a man and admit you were taken in and bought into it. We all were initially myself included but some and I count myself in that group realised reasonably early on that this whole lockdown/restrictions and vaccination mandates bollocks was a total farce. Blame the Tories if you want but they had 100% backing by all the opposition whom often as not demanded more restrictions for longer.
  5. The dreadful consequences of Matt Hancock's lockdown scare tactics APPLE.NEWS Those responsible for 'Project Fear' had no idea about the lives of society's most vulnerable The consequences for this shit should be happening right now, not after the enquiry or even just brushed aside.
  6. Does the actual content and what it tells you of that period not talk a lot of idiocy and naivety??
  7. ‘Project Fear’ authors discussed when to ‘deploy’ new Covid variant WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Matt Hancock’s plan to ‘frighten the pants off’ the public to ensure compliance with lockdown... Deploy the new variant !!!!!!! 🤷‍♂️These ****************ing people should be in jail never mind profiting from writing about the crap they did. Sadly the meek gullible masses don’t seem to be even remotely bothered by much of what was imposed upon than and that is now blatantly obvious. I’ve just attached a screenshot of the actual wats app conversation, and a better than I could put it summary of the whole situation. Not hard to see why the likes at the NZ PM and Scottish FM are bailing out now seeing as they undoubtedly know the truth of the whole sorry affair.
  8. Now your talking, some nice replacement timber on site at min. Between 300-360 square and up to 8-9m😍
  9. Climate scientists told to 'cover up' the fact that the Earth's temperature hasn't risen for the last 15 years WWW-DAILYMAIL-CO-UK.CDN.AMPPROJECT.ORG A leaked UN report on climate change has revealed deep concerns among politicians about... 🤔
  10. The crackpot Covid theory that was dismissed by scientists – but is now the most likely scenario WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK What was once vilified as xenophobic Trumpian hyperbole is now the sober conclusion of US... 🤷‍♂️ Moonbat media eh, throw in a few of Hancock’s wats app messages as to how much they didn’t really “ follow the science “in reality and surely the penny must be starting to drop with even the most ardent believers.
  11. Britain's second lockdown was based on 'very wrong' Covid data, Boris Johnson feared APPLE.NEWS Prime minister raised concerns that the Government could be criticised for 'blinking too soon' No shit 😳 Dominic Cummings deployed election mastermind to reassure Cabinet hawks of public support for lockdown APPLE.NEWS Isaac Levido was recruited to Downing Street in March 2020 to improve the Government’s... Follow the science my arse 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ It’s rather interesting to see the whole charade being exposed for what it was in reality ie a total and utter farce, I guess the constant revelations regarding the strength of natural immunity, mask ineffectiveness, vaccine side effects and lack of efficacy etc etc are a bitter pill to swallow for many of the most ardent defenders of this sham.
  12. Matt Hancock staged ‘rearguard’ action to close schools APPLE.NEWS WhatsApp leaks reveal how then health secretary and his advisers mocked Gavin Williamson in... What a total farce it all was, it’s disgusting to watch those at the top looking to rewrite or manipulate the history of events ( and in all parties case a total lack of acknowledgment of the damage the lockdown and restrictions madness undoubtedly caused, to children in particular) and attempting to distance themselves from what is now without any doubt looking back an utterly disastrous and pathetically ( bordering on criminally I’d say) mismanaged situation that has had massive negative consequences that will last for many years to come . On the other side of the coin I’ve read a summary of the much at the time maligned Sweden’s now completed enquiry, the difference is night and day. Teachers looking for 'excuse' not to work during pandemic, said Gavin Williamson APPLE.NEWS Education secretary and Matt Hancock also hit out at unions at time when Government... Regardless of the merits of the two clowns concerned I’d say the actual point is not far off the mark. The desire to be at home on pay was often passed off as the desire to be safe 🤷‍♂️
  13. Changed the world 🤷‍♂️Really !!!. She is to coin your get out phrase “ a Moonbat “ if her and those like her had their way not one person on this forum and millions worldwide would be able to do a days work. I do wish she would sail off to India or China and see how she gets on rather than stage managing fake detentions for the media.
  14. The reality is it’s a fairy simple but heavy duty concept. The tubular pile once it’s reached resistance has a drilling rig set up over it and a hole drilled through a drill casing to take a large steel pin of a predetermined length, the pin and annulus of the tubular are then filled with grout. Don’t ask me how the engineers work out the drill depth,pin size or grout type 🙄, it’s normally a specialist contractor who will do such things. Loads of stuff online about it and the consequences of getting it wrong particularly in sheet pile walls.
  15. Pins in the bottom of the tubular drilled in beyond the point where it can’t be driven any more and grouted into place, belts and braces methodology probs included as part of design as the ferries up here often give the pier a good wallop with the winds they operate in. Pics show the caisson pier extension unit in place and being floated in recently.
  16. Forbes is top preference for next first minister among Scots voters – poll APPLE.NEWS A Panelbase poll put the Finance Secretary ahead of her rivals. As much as I despise the SNP it’s still good to see normal decent people not being overly concerned about the MSM LGBTQ + hysterical bollocks being generated due to her being a member of the Free Church. Maybe its indicative of the fact people might be utterly fed up with the minority woke madness being forced upon them at every opportunity by the media and vocal minorities, much like the trans lunacy that helped get rid of a first minister I’m sure will go down historically as a total failure in everything she did other than cause huge division.
  17. Sellafield outfall sections end up on beach | New Civil Engineer WWW.NEWCIVILENGINEER.COM A search has been launched by Sellafield operator BNFL for over 50 pieces of a heavy duty 220mm... A good few years ago I was the Guy running the Diving on the sea line decommissioning project at Sellafield . If i remember correctly the original timescale and budget was 6 months and £18 million. The end result was “ we heard unofficially” 3 years and £42 million. I remember the day very well in regards the incident described in the article, the subsea and marine types “ myself included”amongst the team argued vociferously not to put the half height of HDPE pipes we had processed into the wet store location ( as per procedure ) due to the rapidly increasing weather forecast-but were overused as the whole licensing procedure to take it into Workington docks etc was not set up for that dsy. The clerk of works on my shift quoted a line I heard often during my 3 years there “ no one has ever been sacked at sellafield for doing nothing , but plenty have been sacked for doing something wrong”. We conducted thousands of dives over the 3 year period without a single LTI, tidal strength was never an issue although I doubt you’d be so lucky if it’s the same power station you can see from Alderney that you are talking about in France, seriously challenging diving conditions in that part of the Channel
  18. Scots won't get 20p cash back in bottle deposit scheme storm due to 'gaping flaw', trade chiefs warn WWW-THESCOTTISHSUN-CO-UK.CDN.AMPPROJECT.ORG SCOTS won’t be able to get back their 20p under the controversial new deposit-return scheme if a... Another SNP belter, sadly the grip the two green lunatics have over the SNP ( basically two made up ministerial posts that give the SNP a parliamentary majority) is totally out of all proportion to the tiny handful of fools who vote for Slater and that deviant Harvey.
  19. Yeah it’s potentially nice stuff if it were not on an island I’m pretty sure I’d be inventing a use for it, got a little burn next to mine those 15m ones halved would be ideal to bridge it.
  20. Open and driven through the mud/rock until resistance then a toe pin will be put in. Yeah much deeper than the originals.
  21. No the main contractor is driving some tubular steel piles to take the new fendering arrangement. More the merrier for Nooie, some of those that came out today are cracking bits of timber.
  22. Pulling some 15m piles today, bottoms are like new, and still a good either 200x200 or 300x300 beam to be had from the worst of it.
  23. Don’t be a tit Mark, you ain’t mystic Meg, I’ve no idea where to start in regards the NHS nor do I want to strike. On that matter we have just rejected the ODIA,s latest pay offer via our union the RMT ( who I have many issues with ) and will be returning to the negotiating table. Would a bunch of divers etc striking in the North Sea if it came to it risk the lives of members of the public ?? No I’d say not, my original post was about that Mark, Doctors Nurses etc if I was to have an accident this morning at work ( 0330 to catch the tide) I’d expect the aforementioned to try and help me out not be on a picket line, like I say when lives are at stake I feel it’s gone too far especially when you see how much is already spent on supporting the whole NHS.
  24. Yep new addition Les, partly due to the hassle many of us have been through etc.
