I will admit to always being a Lib Dem voter in the past.
Not any more.
On the ‘best of a bad bunch’ basis I’ll be voting Labour in May.
where have all the characters in politics gone? The ones that made it interesting?
Set me thinking of these interesting characters…….
As well as Enoch Powell and Tony Benn already mentioned…..Dennis Skinner – a survivor
Rhodes Boyson
Willie Hamilton
Margaret Thatcher
Barbara Castle
Cyril Smith (now disgraced)
Mannie Shinwell
Nicholas Ridley
Diane Abbot
Glenda Jackson
Norman St. John-Stevas
Norman Tebbitt
Ian Paisley
George Galloway
Eric PicklesI think William Hague will be seen as a colourful character as he gets older.
So 1007 large wind turbines – realising these are approx 90 metre diameter turbines – thats a hell of a lot of space – where do you suggest putting them ???
8 years on, the question can now be answered. Miles out to sea off the coast of Suffolk. The Greater Gabbard offshore windfarm has a capacity to generate half as much electricity as Sizewell B, on a windy day. 140 wind turbines, 500 megawatts. Add to that the proposed Galloper windfarm next to Greater Gabbard, and the generating capacity will be doubled, more or less equalling Sizewell – again, on a windy day, that is.
There are other major offshore wind schemes too, and while they don’t work at full output all the time, whenever they are generating electricity, that saves gas, since it’s the combined-cycle gas turbine power stations that are easily shut down when not needed.
After a gap of nearly 8 years, here’s a reply to this thread…..
To have the power to do absolutely anything and everything I want
Racists tend to believe that other races are inferior to their own.
Fascists tend to believe that other nations are inferior to their own.
Not a huge amount of difference there, then!
True Fascists do not believe in going against the will of the people;
…because true fascists tell the people what their will must be!
….Something really needs to change. Where to start though and is it to late?
If it had been possible for ordinary people to change society for the better, we’d have done it years ago. Increasingly, the best cards are held by the rich and powerful in Britain, and the trend of growing inequality is likely to continue as long as life for ordinary people doesn’t get too bad too suddenly.
This thread is closed :lol: :lol:
Bored so thought id ask people if you had to sleep with 3 people of the same sex celebrity wise who would it be ???
I’m a straight man, so if I had to sleep with 3 people of the same sex they’d all be female!* they’d all be slim and about 5ft 6in, they’d all have long dark hair and olive complexion and they’d all have big brown eyes and they’d all be aged about 25!!! Hahaha.
*..same sex….as each other!! Perhaps the original poster should word their questions more carefully!!
I think I missed that. It was over 7 years ago so I can’t be sure, but I think I did.
Perhaps it’s the shelves that are getting bigger.
