The "of course" makes it clear you dislike the outcome

Only inasmuch as a desirable outcome would have been the lowering of the age of retirement for men to either that of women or meeting both on the middle. The issue is that the government being the government took it as an excuse to effectively cut welfare.

The long mention of the men who in your eyes "caused" this

To be honest it probably just brought it on sooner. The government would have found it as excuse to raise the retirement age without it being highlighted to them.

also makes it pretty obvious what your stance is about this and who you want the scapegoat to be in the discussion.

No, still don't see it.

I don't see how you got that from what I said.

X for doubt as this comes from the daily Hail

Britain did until quite recently. Then a group of men went to court, I think hoping to get the men's age lowered to that of women. But of course the government raised the women's age to that of men.

The 3yo minded liar is near enough 80 anyway.

Ok. What's your point? Did I argue that nuclear was unsafe?

Just because it's safe doesn't mean it's the best we have right now.

  • It's massively expensive to set up
  • It's massively expensive to decommission at end of life
  • Almost half of the fuel you need to run them comes from a country dangerously close to Russia. (This one is slightly less of a thing now that Russia has bogged itself down in Ukraine)
  • It takes a long time to set up.
  • It has an image problem.

A combination of solar, wind, wave, tidal, more traditional hydro and geothermal (most of the cost with this is digging the holes. We've got a lot of deep old mines that can be repurposed) can easily be built to over capacity and or alongside adequate storage is the best solution in the here and now.

Yeah if your desk is stuck just in one position that's obviously going to be bad. Most 'standing' desks are actually height adjustable. You can spend some time standing some time sitting. But maybe even more important, you can adjust the desk to the right height rather than just adjusting your chair.

I had so many issues with Scottish Power that I pretty much did. Fucking useless company.

They'd just need to include the call volume for when they're closed. Open 9-5 but take the average over a whole 24 hour day.

Maybe they're taking the average for each day over the whole 24 hours, but the call centre only operates from 9:30-4:30.
