Having driven a Renault I can understand why Australia doesn't want their submarines

"fight of the murderous maniacs next door but that's history"

But our defence contractor has business in France TODAY so it isn't a success story for our defence sector and we also depend on the French for our marines TODAY and we also depend on the Germans for our TANKS TODAY!

You can't go around like your in an old boys' club like Boris is doing. It is a grown-up's world now. You are supposed to be statesmen. Not kids putting up their single and double fingers FFS!

And the French needed the British army in two world wars to fight of the murderous maniacs next door but that's history just like brexit and anybody who has owned or driven a Renault wishes they hadn't tried to build motor cars

No electricity !!. Blimey it will be like having a labour government again. How will the wokeys cope in the dark - its scary

U-Turn Sector was a success

Nuclear's failure has everything to do with Tory ideology in not wanting to be seen as a state sponsor more than anything else. There are plenty of things in life that really need state subsidy but the Tories have backed out. That is why EDF (French state support) and China are capable in that they have long-term financial sustainability in order to deliver it. Even in the US many nuclear power stations are funded by municipal funding. Oh dear, "what?????!!!!!!!" I hear you say! In the US we have socialised finance? My god. It breaks your little crony capitalist bubble doesn't it!

I’m just wondering which sector they made a success

[medieval blacksmith] 19/9/2021 12:46

Pierre

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have always supported nuclear power. Don't confuse sandal wearing tree huggers with millions of pragmatic decent humans who value the planet over that of money. :)


By-the-way, nuclear isn't the only sector we have become an also ran. I have a list as long as my arm. Tories mostly are to blame for it.

[pierre oreilly] 19/9/2021 12:32

and china. Yes it's totally and utterly as stupid as it is uneconomic. (compared to inhouse expertise).

I expect you fully supported the 50 year anti nuke campaign (as 99% did), which took the uk from the world leaders in nuke tech, to having pretty much zero expertise, and reliant on others.

Don't tell me min, you always supported nukes. I expect you were one of those calling me a mass murderer who should be shot when i was the only one telling of the future energy disaster without nukes 30 years ago.

World leading Britain relies on a French state-backed company (EDF) to build its nuclear powerstation.

Around christmas will be ok for electricity, demand spread throughout the day. It's jan and Feb on cold evenings between 5 and 7 when there's a real danger of powercuts. No wind, an absoute minimum of reliable backup (and even that at a billion pa cost pa) which may or may not manage to keep the lights on. I suspect those with smart meters, like me, will get chopped first, before the large areas (a few counties large) get shed.

[sentiment riles] 19/9/2021 12:24

But probably go off when the power cuts come

[sentiment riles] 19/9/2021 12:24

Drastically reduced shelf life coming on products that somehow make it to market

Might as well stock frozen pizza now

[sentiment riles] 19/9/2021 12:21

[sentiment riles] 19/9/2021 12:20

We might not even have electricity

Get the candles in

[sentiment riles] 19/9/2021 12:19

Mr Johnson told MPs that the Aukus agreement was "not intended to be adversarial" to China but the UK was "determined to defend international law".


Says it all doesn't it.
