    It might be easier to take if they actually were little children - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-26745798

    They are bickering like kids - again. These are the (un-elected) people that we have to put up with running our country! I wouldn't even trust them to run a bath!

    Here's a radical idea - stop the bickering, and invest some time and money into power generation in THIS country to stop prices continually spiralling, and to stop us being beholden to the likes of Russia!

    I don't know enough about it to give a view one way or another :dunno:

    Thing is, we are paying far too much on bickering and sniping which are then followed by studies of this and that, and not enough on actual infrastructure.

      Question - How much would you pay to publicly head slap the bickering mp's? I could easily bankrupt myself, but is it worth it...

        We'd probably manage to raise enough revenue to build a few nuclear power stations though!

          Its a plea for serious even handed truth, enough of it has been going on around the world for there to be some real idea about iut.
          But all we get is Cameron saying its a good thing and the likes of the soppy greens saying its the end of the world.
          All we hear about down hear is Caroline Lucas and bloody Jason Kitcat.

          Seems to me that it would make a lot of money for somebody and it might sort out supply issues, given the right handling but there would be a lot of collateral damage in the form of seriously despoiled local environments with lots of health and safety issues.

          As far as I see it, it would likely be people who are already wealthy who made the profits and ordinary people like you and me who suffered the negative effects, and we would need a trustworthy, impartial, far-thinking and responsible government to secure the benefits of stabilisation for all, not just the entrepreneurs. If you think we've got one of those, then go for it.
