    Pallets may replace currency the way things are going.

    @ Scourge (2) :

    “A well founded reason Habbabkuk would be Berezovsky’s connection to Alexander Litvinenko. Also the police are treating his death as “unexplained;” so even they are not convinced yet that his death was natural.”

    I see. Let’s then take this a little further, as you seem to be well instructed in this matter.

    What was the exact nature of Berezovsky’s connection with Litvinenko, and in which way could that connection justify your suspicion that Berezovsky’s apparent suicide was not in fact a suicide?

    Thank you.

    The Tories and Nuclear power have a lot in common. Basically you take a toxic, volatile component -selfish greed- and you modulate it with a cooling agent- printed money. Then you allow the selfish greed to heat and generate useful human industry. The waste products of this combustion are the money and power which are accumulated in the hands of the Zionist bankers who in turn dictate your foreign policy, leaving your country not only with the legacy of centuries of criminal colonialism but new decades of psychotic, murderous destruction on the enemies of Israel.

    Then Cameron goes to Indonesia to give them lessons on extremism. No wonder he always looks so 100% pulled out.

    Habbakuk threatens Nevermind, with the beak:

    “You’d better be careful what you write, mein lieber Freund, threats of violence, even when expressed on the internet, might be actionable in law.”

    I agree. Even our overstretched ploddery are coming down hard on internet threats:

    But those windmills on the hill lose 25% in line loss before it gets to Inverness.

  • Habbabkuk (La vita è bella!)

    @ various (Mary, The Scourge et al) re. Prince Charles/the UK govt./Saudi Arabia:

    One of Nicolas Sarkozy’s first acts on becoming President of France was to create a secrétariat d’Etat for human rights at the French Foreign Office (Ms Rama Yade).

    A couple of years later, this post was abolished. This is what Bernard Kouchner, the Foreign Minister at the time, founder of Médécins sans Frontières and a man whom most of the commenters on this blog presumably admire(d), had to say on the subject in an interview with Le Parisien :

    “J’ai eu tort de demander un secrétariat d’Etat aux Droits de l’homme, c’était une erreur…Ca n’est pas un problème de personne, mais de structure. Il y a une contradiction permanente entre les droits de l’homme et la politique étrangère d’un Etat…Il ne faut pas faire d’angélisme. On ne peut diriger la politique extérieure d’un pays uniquement en fonction des droits de l’homme”.

    Sad words perhaps, but realistic ones.

    “Basically what we need is much more environmentally cheap energy.”

    It isn’t going to happen any time soon.

    What we need is for people to realise that the good times are over. The cheap oil bubble has burst. Time for some lifestyle changes.

  • crab

    Ok Fred its established you can just think and say whatever takes your fancy. like 25% transmission loss to Inverness “from a hill” somewhere or other. And Inverness is used to a magically efficient supply of flying million year old trees.

    I didn’t find Neverminds little threat of a kick in the tenders, nearly as dark as Habbabkuk’s previous suggestion during a discussion of state crimes that we should be “thrown to the lions”

  • Ben Franklin -Machine Gun Preacher (unleaded version)

    From Part I

    “Filimonenko himself calculated, that every block of every power plant, even if working incident-free produces each year about 100.000.000 Curie worth of radioactive material for instance, the radioactive gas Krypton-85 that is vented into the atmosphere. For this, he was deemed insane and hidden away in a psychiatric hospital.”

    This is typical, I’m afraid.

  • crab

    “It isn’t going to happen any time soon.”

    Its happening already man, first generation of wind turbines up and running, already supplying 12% of national demand with no fuel costs and special security or hazards. Case proven, full speed ahead.

    We note Mary with reference to your valuable link:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2298248/Diplomat-banned-talking-Dr-David-Kelly-Iraq-Inquiry.html

    and this interesting FOI request which reads in summary:

    ‘Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I
    request disclosure of all information relating to the selection
    procedure adopted for the choice of Margaret Aldred CB as
    Secretary and yourself [Rae Stewart] as Communications chief of
    the Iraq Inquiry Secretariat. In particular, I seek documentation
    relating to the drafting of the roles of Secretary and
    Communications chief for the Secretariat showing who was
    responsible for the drafting, the role specifications
    themselves and whether these posts were externally advertised
    for public competition.

    Given the politically sensitive role of the Cabinet Foreign and
    Defence Secretariat, of which Margaret Aldred is a senior official, and its closeness to the Prime Minister’s Office, I also seek disclosure of documentation – in paper form and electronic [later amended to in paper form or electronic] – which addresses any possible conflicts of interest, especially relating to the Inquiry’s investigations into Cabinet minute deliberations and access to Cabinet papers. Will the Secretary have an “advisory” role to the Inquiry panel as to whether Cabinet documents or evidence given should be held in camera or made public?’

    I also point you here Mary in further consideration of the crucial and far reaching evidence and truth exposed by WikiLeaks cables.

    May I add how much I appreciate and enjoy your strength of character.

    In June 2010 Nick Clegg MP made the following statement as reported in the Guardian:

    “Nick Clegg has warned that the Iraq inquiry will be viewed as a whitewash unless it is able to publish previously secret information to the public.”

    May I remind Mr Clegg Whitehall sources have indicated to the Guardian the Chilcot inquiry report will be published without crucial evidence that would reveal what Tony Blair promised President George Bush in the runup to the invasion of Iraq 10 years ago,

    According to Bob Woodward’s ‘Plan of Attack’, Bush called Blair with a proposal. “If it would help, Bush said, he would let Blair drop out of the coalition and they would find some other way for Britain to participate.

    I am acutely aware and the ‘shock & awe’ survivors, including war disabled children now adults in Iraq, are also acutely aware of the continuing silence AND DELAY from the Chilcot Inquiry.

    It is obvious to the British public that Margaret Aldred CB is advising the Prime Minister on the substance and composition of the Chilcot report and crucially the timing of it’s release.

    “Its happening already man, first generation of wind turbines up and running, already supplying 12% of national demand with no fuel costs and special security or hazards. Case proven, full speed ahead.”

    But they don’t work when the wind isn’t blowing.

    Solar panels don’t work when the sun isn’t shining.

    We still have to have enough conventional power stations to meet full demand.

  • BrianFujisan

    Herbie..that is so Believable, ( although the opposite should be true )

    But i’m wondering How Nevermind is going to get anywhere near it, for the smell of it’s nappy, AND whilst an infant’s nappy/ bum can be cleaned in moments – a sick mind!!!!

    I think there are two of them at work on same p.c… Jokers whom are only slighty more intelegent than J effin Ross, and R ( russel ) Bleary Bland, or a perverted couple …one seems more reluctant to use LisG than the other…

    Go for it Zwerg, that seems to be your plan, to question people’s sanity.

  • crab

    Fred, the wind never really stops blowing everywhere, and when we get more wind and more hydro — pumped storage and capture, we will only have to burn fuel very occasionally, the biggest problem isn’t keeping gas and coal plants available, its fueling their use.

    You better hope the demand for them is reduced as often as possible so available fuel lasts as long as possible, or there will be no cheap wood fires for the likes of us to warm by.

  • crab

    Also, in an odd becalmed spell, we will be able to buy in electricity from neighbours. And in corresponding windfalls, sell it to them!

  • Mary

    Thanks Mark. It’s yet another national scandal which lays more shame on all of us as British Citizens.

    Aldred

    Secretary to Sir John Chilcot’s Iraq Inquiry named

    The head of the Secretariat for Sir John Chilcot’s committee of inquiry into Iraq has been named today.

    Margaret Aldred CB CBE, who’s currently Director General and Deputy Head of the Foreign and Defence Policy Secretariat in the Cabinet Office, is to become the Secretary to the Inquiry. She will begin her duties shortly.

    Ms Aldred joined the Civil Service as a graduate trainee in 1975. She spent 25 years in the Ministry of Defence, where she worked in a wide range of areas, including three years as the Principal Private Secretary to the Defence Secretary. Her last post in the MoD was Director General Management and Organisation. She has also worked in HM Treasury and the Home Office, and took up her current post in the Cabinet Office in November 2004.

    Ms Aldred was appointed CBE in the 1991 Gulf Honours list, and CB in the 2009 New Years Honours list.

    ~~
    An honour for the Gulf indeed. That would have been Operation Desert Storm followed by the most cruel sanctions that killed thousands of Iraqi children and starved the adults.

    Apart from the pretence and the uselessness of the Chilcot Inquiry, there is this massive cost. Think what £6m could do at the present time.

    Iraq Inquiry costs for the financial year 2011 to 2012

    The Iraq Inquiry has published the final expenditure for the financial years 2009/10 and 2010/11. The expenditure for 2011/12 is shown below. The total expenditure since 2009 is £6,130,600

    You old prankster. Thanks for a spasmodic bout of laughter after reading your words “This is what Bernard Kouchner, the Foreign Minister at the time, founder of Médécins sans Frontières and a man whom most of the commenters on this blog presumably admire(d)”. A great joke hahaba, my congratulation. Yes indeeed, we all admire this war criminal and especially so for his nefarious role in bringing death to the citizens of Libya. Although I suspect that you read nothing and just paste here the pompous crap of KOuchner to impress us, but in case you do, go for something better than the few remaing French tablois. It will make you a less evil man.

    “You better hope the demand for them is reduced as often as possible so available fuel lasts as long as possible, or there will be no cheap wood fires for the likes of us to warm by.”

    Don’t you go worrying about me, I live near to a very large forest, I also live very close to the sea, I own enough land to grow fuel and plenty of food as well.

    How are you going to manage when it turns out it was all a scam? Have you seen your fuel bills falling because of all this free energy you claim we are getting?

  • crab

    Fred, the fundamental engineering reality of it is impossible to scam, its working i know this from my own hobbies and research, but i wasnt up to date on how significantly UK power supply has implemented it and confirmed it already. 12% is a massive thumbs up, the wind will not stop blowing and the roll out of windpower should be impossible to stop now.

    Now thats not to say their aren’t more or less scams than usual at play with it, like Carbon credits too — they might not be fairly arranged, but it is a good thing when scams dont stop actual progress, which 12% UK power already supplied by fresh air is Fred! (though it is 2013)

    If everything gets so scammed up we are stuck with finding more stuff to burn, You can just wave that big forest away, see how long it takes to get mechanically harvested to feed a powerstation and what is going to get sewed in its place! Keep a little precious piece firewood in a box for remembering what the trees smelled like. The ground around you will be fracked, air polluted with subterranean radon and alsorts, water tables polluted, you might have a nuke plant nearby which its neither wise or permitted to go near because they are so important and hazardous. The only cars on the roads will be tank like executive transports for the people important enough to be involved.

    There aren’t really any “big” forests left in britain, not for centuries. But here’s lookin at your own little woody haven while it lasts Fred 😉

    Nice one Karel….. We wont foget Nato ..thats us…War crimes against Libya… i better go onto peter Gabriel on you tube…Or Marillion. or Vatersayboys Live in Barrowlands.

  • Brendan

    There is something almost funny about police telling us there are no suspicious circumstances in the death of a well-known Putin critic, whilst simultaneously his mansion is being scoured by a forensic team investigating possible traces of nuclear and chemical material.

    Almost funny. I recall Dr Kelly’s death in particular, laughably, being deemed ‘not suspicious’. Not suspicious to whom? Leading critic of Government policy dies on the eve of war after allegedly breaking official secrets act? I believe in legal circles, this can be reasonably described as ‘motive’. And then there is the timing. Odd, isn’t it, how quickly forensics teams can work on high profile cases. Literally within minutes, all suspicious circumstances are ruled out; I for one salute their calm under pressure.

  • crab

    They say don’t upset the families but i expect they would be more upset by the idea a loved one in fine health decided to abandon life with them, than the alternative.
