Just instruct all cooling and flux moderation to stop, and wait for a rather dirty bang or possibly 'phut' - but not nice either way. Oh, and there won't be any electricity to deal with it.<br /><br />(Going up the A1 and off to Lincolnshire I noticed a couple of our mini-power stations - basically a load of diesel generators in a compound miles from anywhere.)

I guess luck is made more apparent when everyone else is fucking up around you and Osborne may seriously ape Brown and get the top spot just as the shit starts hitting the fan.<br /><br /> I don't have a clue what people would do if we hit 2008 again and the only option was the Corbynator - geez, that'd be an election with few candidates - 'Hi, vote for me, i'm marginally less of a total twat than the other candidates' - Saatchi & Saatchi should be put on danger money.DtPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-80127969837094570532015-09-22T12:01:14.216+01:002015-09-22T12:01:14.216+01:00Maybe he decided he wouldn't be around while D...Maybe he decided he wouldn't be around while Dave has his "little difficulty".....Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-62359101573197918062015-09-22T11:20:54.336+01:002015-09-22T11:20:54.336+01:00Powerful regulators?

Powerful regulators just get taken over by the companies they are supposed to be regulating. <br /><br />An independent and decentralised justice system that punishes fraud and corruption is the better bet.<br /><br />But then Osborne is picking up where Brown left off, emasculating, centralising and bringing under the control of crawling quangocrat types what little 'independent' regulation there is.Steven_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029437876479574883noreply@blogger.com
