You could add “Non of the above” to a ballot paper and if that’s the majority vote then another election is called, but non of the above can stand again for your vote. :lol:

I think many MP’s are hoping it will blow over, I somehow doubt it this time though.

We’ve moved on from the “it was all within the rules” meme to the “submitted in error” meme.

Every single troughing thief who has offered to repay money is doing so because s/he “submitted a claim in error”.

Every single one!!!

Fusion might just have been cracked, google polywell. it’s so simple university scholars can build one and costs pennies with no fallout.

Wind power is not inefficient since the ‘fuel’, i.e. wind, is free. The efficiency comes in designing the turbines capture as much of the wind energy as possible and converting it to electrical energy.

The wind energy policy recognises the fact that the wind is inconsistent. The expected total average output from the…

It’s not climate change we should be worrying about, but rather what we do when the oil and gas runs out. But the solution to both problems is the same – a combination of renewable energy and energy savings.

It is planned that Britain will be producing between 35% and 45% of its electricity from wind power by 2020. The…

Sorry people but I simply don’t accept all this stuff about driving along watching the speedometer in case a camera gets you and thereby putting yourself at higher risk of an accident. What a facile argument.

So what are you doing in areas where there aren’t any cameras???

The plain fact is that if you drive a vehicle on a…

Yes it’s pretty ironic (the Serco boss getting pinged for speeding).

But I have never understood the incessant whinging about speed cameras being a only a money generating device, and how unfair it all is etc etc.

Forgive me if I’m being too logical but the answer to them is really very simple ……. don’t break the speed…

Word of the day

Pandemic.

A combination of the ancient Greek words ‘pan’ meaning ‘everyone’ and ‘demic’ meaning ‘frighten the absolute living shit out of’.

Because they didn’t have too, before 1997 the Ghurka’s had the right to settle in Hong Kong.

Gurkhas vote – The people 1 Gordon Brown 0.

So democracy is not totally dead in this country after all. Though I understand that Gordon Brown was trying to stifle it in the voting lobby with his henchmen. Well done to Nick Clegg for putting forward this motion for a better deal for our Gurkhas. And well done to all those MPs that showed Gordon…[Read more]

Ghurkas don’t tend to vote labour, don’t tend to become benefit junkies and don’t fit into New labours drone class, what did you expect to happen?

This is ‘don’t worry about it’ from the same government who brought you ‘hot tea gives you cancer’ and all the other remote possibilities you might die from at some unspecified time in the future. This is from the government whose health and safety brigade ban kettles from common rooms in case someone burns themselves, and put up posters advising…[Read more]

and keep increasing taxes for the rich ( sorry melody )

God, socialists just don’t get it do they?

You see, when you hit the rich like this it doesn’t benefit the poor or the working class at all. It comes down the line and hits everyone on the way. The billionaire becomes a mere millionaire – big deal. The guy just over the…[Read more]

I’ve been to a country that doesn’t exist and nearly got arrested dancing in the fountains. :wink:

The Butchers Apron (Union Jack) is the British flag and part of the reason why England is such as it is when terms like British and English get confused in the minds of many. As far as I’m concerned the sooner we liberate England from Britain the better. :wink:
