Just to really rub it in after the other comments on your mistakes. Being a Brit yourself, I would have thought you'd also know the generally accepted term used is "spelt" as opposed to "spelled".
BBD - Is [ - ] short for "tiot"; where "ti" is pronounced as in 'ration' and "o" as in women?

LC, ZDB is from Truro, Cornwall, so cannot claim to be a "Brit"! They even have their own language!
Have you never come across a bunch of nutters called Mebyon Kernow? Oh well, we live in a diverse society.
Signed.
More as a gesture than with any hope it could make a difference. Can anyone give an example of where these petitions actually changed policy?
The road pricing petition on the Prime Ministers website killed that policy dead (for the moment anyway)

How delicately put ;-)
Yes.

Thank you.
ZED reminds me so much of that little Green viper in the HoC - can't even remember her name - strident little harridan with hardly any logic. Do you think they are one-and-the-same?

And to rub it in, proper British use of quotation marks is to use single quote marks outside of double, whilst you used the American usage -- OH Horrors!
The Queen's English ain't what it use to be, what with all those American usages sneaking in. :)
Oh, to Gary Turner
Nicely done, sir.
Signed.
BTW, thanks Gary Turner for pointing out the inadequacies of Zed's arrogant posting on English. Beat me to it. I'm afraid the faux-humility of his/her opening doesn't warrant any favour. Not when s/he condemns the legitimacy or relevance of anyone's posting on the basis of their syntax, then goes on to commit the hilarious malapropism, 'annunciate'.
And 'propoganda' - ROTFLMAO
Oh, and if you'd like to take issue, Zed, I should point out I am an English major, a professional writer and a published author. Therefore I have the qualifications and authority, which is all I need appeal to if I get something wrong and you question it. Isn't that the warmist way?
Don't know if these petitions do any good but it's great to see this one getting some publicity here - thanks!
If it was simply wasted money and discredited science, I don't think the BS would hurt quite so much. But it is the countryside, and it will be lost for generations if the madmen carry on in their current vein.

...may also be worth your attention if you haven't already.
Signed, despite a feeling of gloom caused by the absolute and utter stupidity of Brit politicians.
Zebedee is always good for some comic relief. But adding drunk to inorant - wow!
As a student of the Arts, Zed's use of the strange hybrid word 'annunciate' conjured up for me a wonderful mental image of a startled young lady in medieval dress being given word of her previously unsuspected pregnancy by a very earnest angel who is being very careful not to drop her 'aitches'.
A few blokes made good livings painting depictions of The Annunciation of the Virgin Mary'.
All
I couldn't give a stuff about most of what Zed said above, errors, brandy-breath and all.
Her position on the fitness of renewables to play a major part in the future energy mix is the BIG PROBLEM HERE.
- Since it will inevitably lead to a national economy broken by routine shortfalls in electricity supply.
Which is what Zed and her ill-informed energy fantasist friends seem absolutely determined to bring about.
global warming fantascism
You are all so wrong. The climate is changing, the facts are clear for all to see. It may be unclear how much is due to human action. But what is obvious is that humans are not helping.
But happily, its humans that will suffer the most when the air becomes unbreathable, the seas become too acidic and food resources become too few.
But if your interested in the actual facts on climate science, don't listen to the media or the goverment.
Read articles by climatologists, for instance here

'But if your interested in the actual facts on climate science, don't listen to the media or the goverment.

Thanks for the tip Jack.
But many of us here have spent a long time doing exactly that. And writing books and papers about it and debating and all that. We do not find the case for the climatological nightmare to be compelling. Which is why some of us are here in the first place.
Please hang around to read the threads here and you'll see why many are sceptical.
"Read articles by climatologists"
Unfortunately, they're the ones who have brought science into disrepute.
Isn't alcohol wonderful stuff? Zed has enough trouble stringing together a few coherent sentences when he's sober, yet after a few post-prandial drinks, when most people would be dozing quietly in the corner, he believes he can argue (and spell) better than ever!
No wonder drink-driving is so dangerous...
