Peter Apps on Blair's response to Grenfell Fire. So said former prime minister Tony Blair on Sky News on Thursday – in response to being asked whether the Grenfell Tower fire represented ‘a failure of leadership’ by government. This was a system which Blair’s governments had more than a...

There seems to be some misunderstanding here - maybe you were distracted. Of course I knew what you were referring to earlier. Although in the 1950s I was a child, when doctors, were issuing private prescriptions for medical grade diamorphine , I have been well aware of that approach for at...

I am puzzled about how you might think you know what I am aware of and what I am not. The war on drugs has never had any success at all. It certainly empowers the criminal world, but anyone who thinks legalising drugs would get rid of criminal gangs needs to wake up. They would simply swap to...

Sounds to me that allowing a million people to pack a few streets might be a bad idea.

Ha ha ha ha ----- Really? Two people were murdered. I think eight were stabbed. Pretty successful? Seek help at once.

Yes - you may be right. I should refrain from commenting about things that go on in my country when they are three hundred miles from where I live, and of course - why didn't I think about it - the best thing to do about disorder is not to comment on it, but to stay at home - out of the way...

I'm glad it was helpful.

They would have been a lot better off trying to outlaw the sale of petrol and fuel oil. Far more dangerous. People have been known to take petrol and set fire to things deliberately, you can't easily do that with a battery, and as everyone knows, people of retarded disposition periodically pour...

They have new stock now. This one is available tomorrow at my location. Much more expensive at £599, but it has a larger battery at 9.6Ahr with a projected range of 30 miles. I found the £245 e-move folder to easily achieve more than the mileage they predicted. As it happens the old e-move...

Yes - that's a murky old world - Panama Papers and all that. However, I think a huge proportion of those assets are likely owned by pension funds and maybe insurance companies. Not my area so I will shut up. One thing though - the charges some of these investment fund managers impose while they...

If you look back to the origins of IPA (India Pale Ale) it was brewed in England and exported to the Raj in India. It was made strong, and sometimes watered down at the other end. It had to keep to travel all the way by ship to India and then make its way to the drinking establishments over...

Oh - very professional looking. Your own pub. I just made it in the shed and bottled it and kept the bottles in the garage. Very amateur at my end. Stopped because the drinking of it was getting a bit regular.

I used to be on this forum. https://www.homebrewinguk.com/all-grain-539722 There is real master on there going by the name clibit. He had a great thread explaining how to start off in all grain brewing with simple large pots to do the boil. Small volumes but an easy no cost introduction...

About four years ago, I was making all grain American Pale Ale at 7% abv in the shed. It was pretty good, lovely new world hops like cascade, citra and galaxy. It had rather delightful fruity flavours. I stopped making it because I thought I was getting too fond of it. Dry hopped with those...

I think you might be trialling plots for your new fantasy novel about a dystopian world going to pot. Stop giving us teasers and let us read the whole thing. I really want to know who these evil masterminds are. I think Flemming's Ernst Blofeld is going to be deposed as the most evil arch...
