  1. It was a serious question Gareth, I hear a lot about wind and sun etc and it would seem SP is putting himself out there as a bit of an authority on such matters, hence it would be nice if he told everyone what his area of expertise or occupation is rather than remaining as this anonymous generally speaking political or social commentator. We had periods earlier this winter of sustained overcast calm weather where virtually zero renewable energy was being produced. As for the Grid 🤔was it not functioning pretty much ok whilst we had a stable base load capacity 🤷‍♂️which fool would close a power station before you have an alternative 🤷‍♂️ Anyway SP will surely be along to explain his reasoning and knowledge on this subject or alternatively he will like a true political type absolutely dodge the question as he’s done many times before on a number of topics.
  2. 🤷‍♂️ Any fool would realise that’s a prerequisite for any industrialised nation to survive. Currently we have some of the highest electricity prices in the world, made worse by a ludicrous headlong rush toward the fabled net zero dream.
  3. What about when the wind doesn’t blow 🤷‍♂️
  4. You spent any time up Pentland Firth SP or indeed the Severn Estuary?? Tidal is tricky 😂 “ a bit aggressive to infrastructure and moving parts” surely the understatement of the day. Maybe if you shared with the Forum your occupation or background it would help somewhat.
  5. Spoken like a man living in Sweden not North East of Scotland. SSEN are lobbying big time for planning reform, 🤔you think that’s for the good of humanity or the shareholders at the end of the day.
  6. 😳😳That’s a lot of batteries J, we can’t according to Labour afford to help pensioners never mind put a never ending supply of batteries into millions of homes. Mind you imagine the potential corporate profits on that boat. What happens when they need replacement??. Or be sensible build a rake of nuclear capacity and stick possibly a few wind farms over the horizon not on land with all the associated OH lines, pylons and substations scarring the countryside.
  7. 😂😂Free, you and Milliband on the same medication. What happens when it’s dull, overcast and there is no wind, the exact weather conditions we have experienced loads of since Xmas ?? National grids own power generation app showed low single figure power generation for renewables on numerous occasions. The only way this will work is if the whole renewable gravy train is a nationalised enterprise, currently it’s a very profitable free for all. I’ve said it numerous times, Energy, Water and numerous other things should never exist to make profits for multinational corporations.
  8. Pure ideological garbage from start to finish.
  9. Lovely day up in Turiff, some nice oak and sycamore milled up for a client. Sycamore was bloody hard mind. Long old day but at least it keeps you out of mischief.
  10. I’ll still take that as I served in **************** all 😂, Soldier with an i.
  11. 😂😂I’ll take that as an I was never actually in **************** all 😞Well that’s you and Trump with at least one thing in common.
  12. That is a massive surprise. Mind you how hard can any single government kick businesses before someone on the inside wakes up to the consequences.
  13. Atheism, cats and dogs the rest is fair game. After life 👍👍 4cda90c6-68c7-496b-89d9-cb5a8153c830.mov
  14. Watched Ricky Gervais a couple of nights ago in Glasgow Nothing out of bounds, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Gay, Straight, Labour, disabled, LGBTQ alphabet people etc etc they all got tanned big time. Absolutely brilliant gig, if you appreciate free speech. You no doubt would have been offended beyond belief.
  15. It’s a servicemen thing. What unit were you in SP ?
  16. For all the armchair generals , there’s a lot of current and ex members of the armed forces out there with a very low opinion of a man and a system who spent a lot of time defending terrorists and chasing down guys over trumped up BS charges.
  17. Labour’s priority is Growth 😂😂my arse, absolutely cynical ideological attack on anyone who dares to try and get on outside the public sector.
  18. It’s naive to assume Trump has betrayed Ukraine APPLE.NEWS Jibes about Trump being hoodwinked by the evil demon Putin are juvenile Some sensible analysis of the reality of the situation.
  19. 100% in regards the responsibility part. If anything this is a massive wake up call for all the NATO members that it’s time to spend and build up the armed forces again rather than living in complacency and hiding under the US umbrella. As is the case here a Politicians timespan is limited, there’s always been a strong isolationist element in the US look at WW2 and the likes of Lindbergh. Definitely dangerous times.
  20. The ball was dropped in 2014 J, the promises made regarding protection and security were forgotten. I’ve mentioned the shit on the boat I was on between pro Russian Ukrainian and Nationalist Ukrainian guys at the time several times previously , the Skipper “ a Canadian “ told them it was their choice leave the boat or leave the political shit on the quayside. Not being selective in the blame front but the German governments of that era and its energy policies played a huge part in how the situation is now. Not sure what you are confused at 42 ? This didn’t start 3 years ago.
  21. Try the bit about army housing and you posted the guys views not me So defence is a waste of money is it ?? explain what we would do without adequate defence capability please in the event of an attack 🤷‍♂️ Dont say it will never happen 😌look to Ukraine
  22. Proper piss take if that’s what they are paying top line civilian AR15 2K max
  23. You might want to check some of those details Mark
  24. Neil Jurd OBE on LinkedIn: For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Chuck him out, the brute!" But… | 26 comments WWW.LINKEDIN.COM For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Chuck him out, the brute!" But it's "Saviour of 'is country"... Guy hits the nail on the head. Playing statesman with peoples lives just like Blair did.
  25. No I didn’t .
