Not even running obsolete equipment nor sacking the staff who were keeping it alive. It's all somebody else who is responsible. Got it?

That is Politically Correctly WRONG. ! You are not thinking like a Progressive. It will be Brexit, Global Warming AND Trump. Simple.

When it comes to sorting out the cash burden, China may decide that having done very well out of the EU and US exporting all their jobs to China, they do not see why they should change their meaningless commitments to Paris, and actually repay any of their Climate Science windfalls.
The famous "Peace Dividend" that was going to manifest itself with the fall of the Berlin Wall, has been wasted on Climate Science, and pumped into China. I congratulate China for learning Capitalism so quickly, and knowing how to exploit the weaknesses of stupid competitors.

I thought that .... but not as eloquently.

gc, the lastest on BA - there was a power cut that nobody has owned up to, followed by the failure of a UPS of anywhere between 30 and 50 years old. Then a diesel generator failed and a contractor turned stuff back on 'too quickly' which fried stuff. There may also have been a failure of alternate equipment. Parts of the software and data have been damaged and perhaps lost. And none of it is BA's fault. Not even running obsolete equipment nor sacking the staff who were keeping it alive. It's all somebody else who is responsible. Got it?

There is an Italian politician raging at Britain, who has offered reciprocal rights between the British in Europe and vice versa, yet it doesn't appear to have dawned on this politician that the Italian government could have a little word with the EU to encourage them to accept TM's offer:
DailyExpress: 'Stop holding Italians to ransom!' Italian MP rages at UK for 'UNACCEPTABLE' Brexit stance
No wonder the Continent is in the state it is in: the rEU!

BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine is going to be "discussing" British Airways power failure.
Was it something external to BA premises, and outside the control of BA or not?
Surely someone didn't pull the plug out from BA official statements?

Are China and the EU going to negotiate how to share out the cash burden that the US will no longer be shouldering? Sort of like Brexit...

May DID NOT join France Germany and Italy in condemning Trump, merely expressed her dissatisfaction on the phone.
Corbyn has suddenly become a great advocate of Climate Scientists, which would contradict his own brother, who is not. Piers Corbyn may not be mainstream anything, but he can do sums better than Jeremy.

BBC One o’clock news leads with “shock, horror… a politician does what he promised to do!” Trump is taking the US out of the Paris deal. Roger Harrabin is wheeled out (see what I did. there?), to start with an outright lie, then to continue into an odd dichotomy: “…as the price of renewables becomes competitive with fossil fuels, yet provides three times the number of jobs…” What? So, how are these jobs being paid for? Slave labour? Minimum wage, perhaps? Or can, with the help of generous subsidy, the “green” industry pay proper wages, irrespective of delivery of product? It would appear ALL the basic rules of economics can be thrown out of the window if the industry is “green.”
