Facts About London During Wikipedia Blackout
You don’t need Wikipedia. Just look here.
Oxford Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up To Be
I had to smile at this article.
At least she decided to follow in C’s footsteps and go to UCL to read law.
I’ve always believed that you shouldn’t go to a university, that is in a place, that is very similar to where you were brought up, as it doesn’t widen your mind.
What A Load of Old Wind
I’m not a lover of large wind turbines, but smaller ones part of a fully-integrated power-generation system are a lot better.
This article in the Daily Mail shows some of the problems with large ones, especially the fact that if it’s too windy, they have to be shut down.
The problem we have in this country, is that when we have too much electricity, we have no way of storing it, so the power generation has to be stopped.
So let’s solve the storage problem first before we ruin the countryside with wind turbines and the power lines to connect them to the National Grid.
Today’s Times Leaders
They are a classic.
The first details the rows in the Labour Party and how Blairite is now an insult.

We need some compassionate and sensible thinking.

But then, this is what socialism is about. If it exists it’s ours.

I actually don’t see what these Acts have to do with the UK.
