The Girling of the Boy Scouts Erases Men Mon Jul 29, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Boy Scouts of America has completed its girlification by finally dropping the last mention of "boy". It's the latest move by 'progressives' determined to pathologise masculinity and erase men, says Heather Mac Donald.

With her merciless slaying of the Freedom of Speech Act, Bridget Phillipson has shown herself to be a far more brutal political combatant than the enfeebled Tories. If you want to win the culture war, this is how to do it.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6The First Minister of Wales is Rhodri Morgan. (I only know that because over Christmas I read a book on Rudolf Hess, and Morgan, it seems, supports the theory that Hess was murdered)
The Welsh administration is opposed to any new nuclear power stations in Wales.
Ok climate change is a reality so fossil fuels are out.
Ok wind, hydro and solar energy are clean but not consistently reliable.
Ok nuclear power is reliable but dirty and sometimes lethal accidents occur.
So where are the hundreds of millions of European citizens supposed to get their power from?
Are Europeans expected to wear three layers of clothes in winter, wash in the rivers, gather berries, kill and salt their own meat and live to the ripe old age of 38?

Odd considering that 40% of the UK's energy needs are supplied by gas & even if Russia with its 23% world reserves of gas can top 100$ a cannister by 2020 the 8% of UK energy supplied by nukes won't be cheaper or augmented.
But some people think about multiple coats, picking berries & dying at 38?
Well chew on this factoid. The newest UK nuke (Sizewall B) only got anti-terrorist protection in 2006. { i think I wrote a stern letter on behalf of the London Irish } Do go on with your incisive comments. move & shake. why not?
"If you live in the UK this could mean cheaper lecky bills "
Obviously YOU havent paid a mainland UK electricity bill anytime in the last 18 years.
If you had you would know about the "non-fossil fuel levy". Ostensibly a fund for building windmills although in practice a massive hidden subsidy to prop-up the loss making nuclear industry.
.
Nuclear has experienced a new lease of life, ignoring historical lessons. New technology in this area is being touted like crazy.
e.g.

and the ensuing nuke discussions are just so naive regarding the waste issue. "we could do this...etc" , ideal world solutions that will in practice, never be implemented by corrupt, lazy and inept governments, bent on saving / making money and not caring about the long term welfare of its citizens.

The fact is, when money gets tight, the things we should do, like get people off trollies in hospitals, disposing of our waste etc are the things that get cut , wheras high wages to people in power and bureaucrats are not.
Here is a couple of examples of the kind of thing that happens to nuke waste in the real world with real human beings when the money gets tight.

I suspect this to be a US funded russia bashing site in disguise but you can make your own mind up. Wish I had a report like this on the US nukes!!
