"let me see..Astra Zeneca?
Nope only 8% efficacy"

That was debunked when a German journalist admitted that he "misread" the findings. AZ may be as high as 92% effective.

Mr E
You may be able to get on a train but without the vaccine I doubt you will be flying
anywhere. But its your choice. Mind you if the vaccine is a killer there should be a good choice of empty UK holiday resorts

Remember what you said Min, our fish are irrelevant.

[mr.elbee] 05/2/2021 11:04

yeah , working at disabling and killing people.

which train to Auschwitch[sic] shall I take?
let me see..Astra Zeneca?
Nope only 8% efficacy
Pfizer?

Too dangerous The former CMO says so and the CEO says it only works on mild cases
Oxford? More MRNA

what to do?

How about this ..DONT GET ON ANY TRAIN BECAUSE YOU DONT NEED TO.

and like germany in the thirties there are no elysian fields at the end of the journey.

Of course this is a global IQ test and the Brits have failed spectacularly already

Quite an interesting article actually.

I think the Europeans have better things to do than fill in loads of forms to sell a handful of cars to the Little Englanders. They actually trade with the rest of the world rather than just signing empty agreements. ;)

£54m Glass Futures facility set to be built in St Helens


Network Space has submitted a planning application to St Helens Borough Council for a £54million glass research and innovation facility.

Developed for Glass Futures Ltd, the proposed 160,000 sq. ft Centre of Excellence will be the world’s first openly accessible, multi-disciplinary experimental glass melting facility for research and development trials. The facility will be used to deliver industry and government backed R&D projects aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of glass production and will provide a platform for industry to test and trial their own ideas, both collaboratively and individually.

The facility is being funded through a mix of public and private investment. A £15m UKRI grant has been secured for the installation of a globally unique, experimental furnace and state of the art infrastructure capable of producing 30 tonnes of glass per day and will enable the Glass Industry to implement change in a safe experimental space. Landowner and developer, Network Space, will secure private sector investment to support the construction costs alongside a £9m grant from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. Glass sector companies will also contribute a further £20m in resource, time and equipment to support the project.

In addition to creating 80 new permanent jobs, the project will lead to much-needed apprenticeships, training and general up-skilling within the glass sector and attract further inward investment to the Region as leading international glass companies focus resources to be within geographical reach of the facility.

Catherine Chilvers, Development Director at Network Space, said: “As landowner and developer, we have worked in partnership with St Helen’s Council and Glass Futures over the past two years to rapidly progress the design and development of this transformational project for the Borough and in doing so, have established a hugely effective public/private sector delivery model.

“The submitted planning proposals will regenerate the former United Glassworks site and enable Government and industry led research activity and training opportunities. The facility will create new jobs and support the transition of R&D to commercial applications, acting as a catalyst for further economic growth within St Helens.”

Not-for-Profit organisation, Glass Futures Ltd, will operate the Centre of Excellence, its Chief Executive, Richard Katz, said: “The planning submission is a great step forward in creating a facility that will deliver innovative technologies to make glass net zero. The Centre of Excellence will help us work collaboratively with our members, the supply chain and academia to achieve that aim.”

Developments at the facility will also have profound implications for other foundation industries such as chemicals, ceramics, paper, steel and cement. What, for example, is discovered as a waste product in one sector could become a raw material in another. Innovations relating to energy efficiencies and a move away from using natural gas as a primary heating source could also be shared or harnessed.

Construction company, Bowmer + Kirkland, has been appointed as Stage 1 contractor following an open procurement process which was managed through the North West Construction Hub.

British manufacturer WFEL is building a new multi-million pound production facility at its site in Stockport. Boxer Mechanised Infantry Vehicles for the British Army will be built at the factory as part of the ARTEC consortium's £2.3bn contract with the MoD #UKmfgFlag of United Kingdom

Alphorn is a smart guy g2 understands all sorts of high level finance stuff, trading etc. Just didn't agree with him on EU/Brexit.

[diku] 05/2/2021 09:15

That boat ride must be very scary...

[grahamite2] 05/2/2021 09:07

Max, there was no scorn shown for Alphorn. I just mentioned he was a bit thin-skinned for a forum like this, and that he expected the same sort of deference as Pooh-Bah in The Mikado.

I think it a great shame he's gone as I wanted to ask him about the Facel Vega.

maxk #352: "...Bank economists estimate the deal will leave output around 3.25pc lower in the long run compared to the UK staying in the EU, with trade overall 10.5pc down."

Doesn't look like they've given much credit for the trade deals round the world that Liz Truss has sorted.

Economists seem to be a breed apart. In other walks of life involving crystal ball gazing, predictions are given as a figure +/- a percentage either side to reflect the uncertainties in the input parameters. To home in on figures without even higher, lower or median range estimates suggests a level of accuracy that cannot be justified and is therefore misleading, some might say dishonest. "around 3.25pc"....does that mean 3.24 to 3.26pc range or 3 to 3.5 or 2.5 to 4?
