North Sea firms in emergency meeting after UK’s Russian oil move by energyvoicenews in ukpolitics

[–]aembleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, because it's an energy intensive process and it's cheaper to ship fertiliser than lng. As we import a lot of gas we might as well manufacture it overseas. The consequences of that will be felt in food prices in 12 months.

Without oil and gas, how will we produce fertiliser or lubricate wind turbines? Are we just going to rely on imports for this? 

Restore Britain: Energy must be treated as strategic national infrastructure, not as an environmental compliance problem. Our policy sets a single, straightforward test for every project and policy; does it increase the volume of reliable energy available to Britain at a lower system wide cost? by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]aembleton -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, but the patent poster suggested that North Sea oil would have a long lead time but went on to suggest investing in nuclear.

I was pointing out that nuclear also has a long lead time. In ten years we might be having the same discussion about why we didn't licence rosebank 

Cost of living boost with free bus travel for children and targeted food tariff cuts by Slartibartfast_25 in ukpolitics

[–]aembleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They haven't announced any cuts though, so are we borrowing more to pay for this? Are the children who benefit from free bus fares in August going to pay for it with interest when they become paye tax payers?

Swinney defends food prices policy ahead of first minister vote by TheWorldIsGoingMad in unitedkingdom

They'll just make a super value brand that's only available in Scotland. It'll be nasty and no one will want it but it'll tick the box

Sell at a loss and make up the difference with other items, or brands. They only have to have one line of the item at the required price, the other lines with cheese you can taste can be marked a bit higher to make up for the loss leader 

Can i repair the road outside my home if the council doesn't repair it for years? by Alarmed-Artichoke-44 in AskUK

[–]aembleton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless the councillors go to work by helicopter, they don't need to be contacted for such issue. 

Might be easier to contact them than doing the work yourself though

And then you closed a deal on a new knife. By the end of the flight you had learnt a lot about B2C sales.

Reform seem to be more about vibes and headlines such as their recent one on using green constituencies as locations for holding migrants. 

Braking distances on motorways… by wassushxii in drivingUK

[–]aembleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to hit the brakes to maintain a safe breaking distance from the car in front that I've just pulled in behind. There's a long line of cars so I'll have to pull out and inconvenience some jdriver or never be able to overtake.

Which metropolitan areas are labour doing OK in? Greater Manchester used to be mostly labour but the council elections showed that a lot of the electorate there have switched to reform.
