    No, I brought up again because she and her 49 days of incompetence are in the news again. Note the headline from yesterday's FT: Liz Truss makes defiant return to political fray Nowhere does it say that I dragged her back into the nation's consciousness. She did that all on her own.

    This thread is about the disastrous, albeit incredibly short, tenure of the worst PM in living memory.

    My SNP lot? I am not in the SNP. Do you actually read what other people write before you reply?

    Your first statement is clear contempt of court; your second statement is woefully ignorant. Edit: sorry, not contempt of court because no charges have been made. However it's definitely libelous.

    You are right - one is an allegation of party funds being used for means other than collected, and which is being heavily investigated by the police, the other is billions of pounds of our money which was handed to friends and family of Tory MPs and is being ignored by the police. But you keep tugging that forelock.

    I have no idea - I am not in the SNP. Have they tried looking in Matt Hancock's local boozer or down the back of his mum's sofa?

    The forelock tugging, cap doffing working class never ceases to confound me. I simply can't understand why (the collective) you are so vociferous in your defence of the people who have been fleecing you your entire life, and who fully intend to do the same to your offspring.

    Of course - she's a Tory. Greed is her raison d'etre.

    We are all smarting to the tune of £46 billion that her incompetence cost us - but it's her who is putting her head above the parapets once again. Try to keep up.

    An excellent article in the Guardian today about the worst PM ever to blight the UK. I am not sure why she has popped up again now, and why she thinks she is worth paying attention to, but I believe the maxim goes something like 'never interrupt a Tory when they are making a fool of themselves and their party'. Almost a year after her disastrous mini-budget, ex-PM says she was right and the economy and everyone else was wrong

    A 30-something year old man with a 16 year old girl that he called 'the child' - 20 years doesn't make that any less disturbing.

    Your take on this is somewhat different to your take on the Huw Edwards story iirc. Do you hold media personalities to different standards depending upon how closely their politics align with your own?

    One important thing about the ECC that I didn't fall foul of, but only by good fortune rather than being aware of it - you are required to keep each of your monthly extension certificates to present when you request the ECC.

    These are the facts that matter: Britons would vote to rejoin the EU The majority of UK voters want to join the EU. The wreckers are in the minority. Time to undo the damage they caused. To be honest, I have never been that interested in football - I didn't even know it was on till I saw it on the BBC app.

    The will of the people, having seen the total shambles of an aftermath of the brexit vote, the complete inability of any of the vote leave proponents to actually deliver what they promised (although what they promised was so nebulous and ethereal that this is moot) and the devastation that brexit has had on industry across the UK, is now firmly in favour of undoing the colossal mistake of 2016 and rejoining the EU. Please respect that.

    The fact that there are private individuals with the personal resources at their disposal which could tangibly impact geopolitics at this level is truly scary. Such resources are too critical to be left up to the whims of petulant egomaniacs.

    Doesn't just happen in China unfortunately. Raw sewage dumped into English waterways 800 times a day

    Yes, you are correct - the mortification is still lingering... I wonder if part of the issue is possible tortured subsurface conditions in Japan?

    What a horrific thing for the poor woman to realise - I hope that she has no lasting effects from it. It reminds me of the Ian Banks novel, The Wasp Factory - a disturbingly brilliant read.

    Despite being pretty narrow, it contains a huge amount of water - more water than all the lakes of England and Wales combined. https://www.nature.scot/landscapes-and-habitats/habitat-types/lochs-rivers-and-wetlands/freshwater-lochs#:~:text=Loch Ness is the largest,English and Welsh lakes together

    There is an argument to be made that the relative affluence of the west was achieved at the cost of many developing countries, and that while we were not party to the rape and pillage, we benefited and continue to benefit from it.

    Oh I feel my age - you are, of course, correct and I was out by a factor of much too much {I am tempted to say a factor of 1000 but I don't have the confidence to be so bold...}.

    Thinking on it some more, 1 million tonnes of water over 30 years would require about 90,000 m3 injection per day every day. I am no reservoir engineer and I know nothing of the geology of the area but I would suspect that that sort of injection rate would be unsustainable long term. It would be interesting to see an expert's assessment.
  25. RuamRudy
    Injection into subsurface formations as a means of waste disposal is a very standard practice around the world. As per the article, the reason that it is not being pursued here is political expediency rather than technical feasibility. It definitely feels it's being rushed for reasons unclear.
