Flecc, I am not attempting to tell you anything, just setting the record straight.

"They were the regiment Ukraine sent to Mariupol to defend it, which is why Russia was so determined to win there and ship all the surrendered Azov army prisoners to Russia." ... Sorry Flecc, again a slight egging of the pudding. At 2014 era, Russia did attack Mariupol in the intentions of...

Whether you said it or not, Putin advanced as his reason for the invasion that NATO in Ukraine was an existential risk to Russia. When Zelenskyy was prepared to park that , he then brought up the denazification trope. . And yes all through the time of the reunification of Germany and glasnost...

Flecc, I have stayed out of much of this discussion because it is circular. But facts are facts. Ukraine was on no path to NATO membership last January . NATO had rebuffed earlier approaches by Ukraine , particularly because it could be seen as worrying to Russia. Finland , pragmatically had...

Just a little too complex for a straight no .. Yes NATO was a US invention and absolutely necessary in postwar Europe. It was only the existence of NATO that stopped Soviet Union taking over all of mainland Europe. The USSR was stronger than any single European country, including the UK,and had...

The indications are that it is not partial ,it is discriminative,in that anyone the local mayors want rid of get call up papers, any of the protestors arrested last night will be immediately given papers, and rudimentary training before capital punishment in Ukraine I also suspect that there...

There cannot be a negotiation. Negotiation requires good faith or an external guarantor. Ukraine wants nothing from Russia and has nothing it is prepared to trade. .. It might have , had Russia stopped at Crimea There is no major power prepared to act as guarantor for Russia.. it has burned...

I disagree flecc. . The Russian Navy have in fact abandoned Crimea as a base and have gone along the coast THEY are afraid of their submarines being destroyed. There was images published of drone submersible captured by the Russians on a beach in Crimea. It could only have come from...

Spoiler alert ... The census results for NI will be starting release next Thursday.. A key point and no doubt one which will appear on next Sunday Chat shows will be the prospect of a United Ireland based on the comparison of religion. Catholics will outnumber Protestants on paper. This has...

The other point would be that the BT spec'ed Battery will be solid lead plates and capable of a 30 year lifetime. No domestic unit ,even so called deep cycle can compete

I thought that Welby's words were very well chosen ..and I suspect he knew exactly what he was saying. He wouldn't have as good an opportunity to speak to so many Heads of Government again. Regarding the Rest of the service in Westminster,... Whatever gifts that Queen had, an ear for music was...

That is something like the story told of the Irish Playwright Brendan Behan ... who was big in the late 1950 s to 1960s. Rather Left Wing He was flying into Spain and of course was asked at Spanish Customs .. What is the purpose of your visit Senior Behan ..? His response as he drew himself up...

Not lazy ... Its just that a market of 60 million is not terribly attractive when the market of 400 million is sitting there, and there is no currency transfer problems and cheap and easy postage systems. A few of the big boys have done a good job of sorting these things out ,but the smaller...

..does it come with fries?.

My 3.6Kw nominal installation has now produced 3.3MW.hrs in approx 1 year, or 9KW.hr per day average. Now maybe last year was untypical , but it still is that value. So 6 Kw you quote is a low number. However the fact that one needs the car during the hours of sunshine, destroys any economics...

The recipe is apparently rather simple ... Add methanol . But actually the old food oil will work fine on its own. It needs filtering to remove the water and carbonised food particles , and then could be added to a standard diesel mixture . The older diesel engines were safer as the the newer...

Well of course, but unless there are distributed charging points, range anxiety will stop people buying EVs. I can see why the big operations like BP might subsidise or purchase ailing operators. Actually ,now you mention it, the service station at the Mont St Michel service area "aire de...

No.. the concerns in China are suppressing demand

Or the extra connections can be a serial data bus sending data from the battery system to the controller etc. For instance, using diagnostic tools on the Bosch system, it can tell the workshop how many charge and discharge cycles that battery pack has done. It also will have serial number...

Exactly ...hence my argument that you export direct to the grid. ,And buy back at night rate electricity. .Since the majority of people use their cars during the day and have them at home at night, the battery capacity of the car is useless as an energy store. I am beyond the age where...
