Stewgreen: strange to think that these same participants, who feel it so important to have friends they have “integrated” with, would not consider they selections to be racist, utterly unable to see the irony that having a friend who was black or muslim was the most important point for selection. I have to admit that is not how I select my friend.
Golf Charlie: thank you. I had considered all three quite startling in their revelation, and was a bit puzzled that there were not more expressive responses. Ho-hum…

Those links? I did look at them!
I think it is time some of these liberal oppressives were treated, the same way they have been trying to incite others, to treat those they disagree with.
I have decided already I won't miss them, and I won't change my mind, whatever evidence turns up, or turns out to be false.

Study finds that manufacturers super-optimise MPG tests, cos real world is 42% lower
Delingpole was on the Moral Maze about social integration
you didn't miss much
Interresting thing was that to all the panel & participants "social integration" meant having friends who were black or Muslim etc. but not UKIP supporters such is the level of intimidated conformity of the Guardian world

I'm pretty sure that some liquid lunches, expensive dinners, sample copy and guidance notes are related to a rash of stories reporting this in the last 10 days. Briefings have happened.....
As I linked a couple of days back The Environment Agency is ramping up its BS machine for the yuuge TE2100 project to build some sea defenses east up the Thames Estuary. Billions is at stake and the corrupt crony consultancies have been churning EA directed + obfuscated justification for several years and crony contractors are drooling at the prospect of the EA with this big a budget on a single scheme. Mega money going in - corrupt middlemen will rake off - the Dutch and Belgians will do the job at a rate that ensures their silence. In this matter my crystal ball is fully functional and correctly tuned.
The EA are NOT KEEN AT ALL on *any* scrutiny of this project - but they need to create a climate of panic / urgency to misdirect from the detail justification - years of skiving , expenses and jobs for the boys depend on it - you can be certain of that.

fwiw I tried the BBC's own web search to see if the BBC had anything about protests in Athens during Obamah's visit - their own "echo chamber" came up with nothing - I tried to archive the predictably empty results of the search but Wayback.org was blocked by the BBC's server. Google was a bit better.... More symptoms of dementia?

If only 3% of the UK and US population had not been intimidated by the ruthless arrogance of climate science, and the draconian politics that resulted, the UK would not be heading for Brexit, and Trump would not be heading for the White House.One alternative to that scenario is that, if only so many had not been intimidated by such ruthless arrogance, in general, the majority in both scenarios would have been even larger.
You really should look at the links I have provided; they encapsulate so much that most of us on this site fear/are angry about (delete as applicable).

The BBC? it becomes clearer by the day that the present crew see no reason to change direction or even bother to defend / hide their fibbing and bias by omission - they get no interference from the "Yes Minister" crowd as long as they dutifully run the occasional errand.
The exaggeration, the contrived narratives, the monumental presumption, the patronising / sneering etc., etc,
I really would like it to work as described on the tin - the contents are barely recognisable from the label.

Ross Lea, it is the marketing of battery cars that is wrong. For most people, most of the time, they are adequate and fit for purpose. So why aren't most people driving them?
The joy and pleasure of owning any car is rapidly tarnished in the event of mechanical failure, ie won't start, or breakdown en route. A car with a range of 50 miles can only get you from A to B and back to A, if B is only 25 miles from A. Even then, it may not get you back again very fast, or up a hill, and if you do it every day, and the range reduces to 45 miles, you are stuffed. Only the rich can afford an expensive car with a limited range, and still have a car with an internal combustion engine for driving outside of their toy's comfort zone.
Buses are intended for urban use, and would be ideal for batteries, but the required power pack would be too big and heavy. That was what trams were originally designed for. They were phased out, but have been making a come-back. It was not a lack of suitable technology that caused the recent fatal tram crash.

... What as if all that hadn't also been going on for the billion years before the Industrial Revolution ..as well
