Similar disparaging comments of Gove in Dories book pushed on GB news yesterday. Cant hold his own water! It makes no odds the remaining rump of the party after the election will be leftish. Anything from the right will have to be a 'new' being.

C14 measurements of the CO2 in the atmosphere have proven that only 10% of the total has been added from fossil fuels since the industrial revolution. So it doesn't come close to accounting for the 50% increase in CO2 levels since 1780. (CO2 from fossil fuels does not contain C14)

Lol! pwned by Dave.

Cameron throws shade on Boris…

“I have not been sitting like some latter day de Gaulle … waiting to be asked, how should I put it, to ‘take back control’. Nor am I Cincinnatus, hovering over my plough. I leave all classical allusions, and indeed illusions for that matter, to another former prime minister with whom I shared a number of educational experiences”.

What sets Prime Video’s Fallout series apart from most video game adaptations is that it’s not really an adaptation at all, but rather its own canonical entry into the story laid out in the games. Setting up its own narrative, with three distinct protagonists as a way of morphing the games’ more open-ended gameplay into a linear story from differing points of view, players aren’t required to be totally familiar with the existing plotlines to get their bearings.

That said, as detailed in our recent set-visit breakdown, the production team behind the show went far deeper than merely stringing together Easter eggs and calling it a day. Having an understanding of the complex world and dynamic of Fallout lore can exponentially add to the experience of watching the show, as well as create an uncanny feeling that you’re watching the video games play out before you.

The show opens with a look at the world before the fall, providing context for what life was like prior to the events of the game in ways only Fallout 4 had done previously, but with a greater focus on the “how” and “why” the apocalypse happened. Jumping ahead, the bulk of the show is in 2296, placing it chronologically after every game in the series, some nine years after the events of Fallout 4 and over 130 years after the first game, which established California and some of the show’s specific locations before this point in the story.

Taking the framework of the games, one of the primary leads is Lucy, played by Ella Purnell, who is a Vault Dweller — the role typically held by the player. Outside of Lucy’s POV, there are other familiar factions at play — including the Enclave, the paramilitary organization that sees itself as the true continuation of pre-war government, and the quasi-religious group, the Brotherhood of Steel, who serve as major aggressors toward mostly everyone in their quest to preserve old-world technology. Both of these are factions players can align with over the course of different games.

I was too young to know, but any of the documentaries I have watched suggest otherwise, that there were a handful of people who were with her and pushed for the reforms, but all the old guard in the Cabinet she first formed absolutely hated her.

#8047 but think back to 1979 - lots of MPs thought just like Mrs Thatcher and quite a few were well to the right of her. She wasn't a lone wolf.

It's the Party as a whole that has changed, and this happened when "Dave" got his hands on it. And he was elected fair and square.

Wow! You learn something every day! I think it was Fallout 4 I remember reading about in a magazine but I never aquired it.

Fallout 3 was possibly the last game I bought, mate.

Completed it too.
