I know it was intended as a jibe, ..but actually it is accurate. The connection is a single DC Voltage link. ..not 3 phase just a thick 500kV undersea cable The reason is simple... More power is transferred on a DC line and it removes synchronisation problems. And you can thank me personally... The line goes underground on the boundary of one of my properties, and they needed wayleave from me.
Brexit, for once some facts.

That is of course if this is the truth
"it now transpires that these wiped records were of arrests that were not followed by any action, in other words no acceptable evidence of an offence."
But it sounds too good to be true
Sorry OG, but this is another false story.
At the time the EU introduced the Working Time Directive 35 hour maximum standard week that many countries adopted, the UK objected and negotiated a 48 hour week opt out.

I think it's very likely, given that the wipe was part of a houskeeping operation wiping irrelevancies.

1248 people killed by Coronavirus yesterday.
48600 new infections.
48600 new infections.
case fatality rate is about 3% in the UK, we should see about 100 fewer deaths per day each week from now on. It will be much more bearable at the end of March.
Not so much a jibe as a light-hearted confection of words intended for amusement.
Yes - well aware that interconnects nowadays are DC.
It looks as if we have seen the Christmas related peak and maybe even the New Year peak in cases and things are going slowly in the right direction. As long as there aren't any serious new developments (eg from Brazilian strain), as Woosh suggests deaths should start falling pretty soon.
If they should not have been held, and I am not disagreeing with you there, their deletion or wiping should have been an intentional act. Not an accident.
And I suggest it is just luck that important records were not removed.
Do they really have no backups from which they could restore the records?
Interesting statement. If this is true, it implies that they know not one of those 150,000 was or is a criminal or dangerous person. (The word "dangerous" seems even to imply future actions.)
Oh dear, still not going to solve the overpopulation and housing crises in the UK.
When I was born I joined 46 million others in the UK.
Now there's 67 million.

In which case Patel has a disgruntled mole in her department!
Surely not (with her being the sweetest of people )
More likely just a simple mistake.
You may not have noticed that our government is quite good at those.

These mentions now don't make any sense, since the first lockdown didn't have the same rules. For example there was no compulsory mask wearing, that introduced only quite recently so there is little comparison.
The only rules that sometimes seemed to be strictly enforced in the first lockdown were the two metre separations in queueing etc and the clangers dropped by a minority of police forces in over-enforcing beyond the law.
Now there's far more enforcement, such as supermarkets refusing to accept entry by the unmasked, others introducing one way aisles and separated entry and exit, perspex screening in front of staff and around self service checkouts, many smaller shops only allowing one customer entry at a time.
.
In first lockdown, supermarkets cleared the extra gondola-end displays, etc., which helped with flow. There were one-way systems inside all supermarkets. And one-person-per-household was widespread.
We now see so many extra display stands it is difficult to push a trolley round.
Not one supermarket still has a real one-way system. M&S are the nearest. Until the other day, none had one-person-per-household.
Most do now have hand sanitiser. (Though some have decided added parfum is a good idea.)
Already now seeing notices up saying items can only be purchased if essential. Which can be difficult to assess! And tighter entry control. I suspect more by tomorrow.
I find that difficult to believe since it's the complete reverse of the truth here, almost everything above is the opposite in the main South London and North Surrey supermarkets I've been to throughout.
In the first lockdown not one had a one way system and definitely no one person rule. The latter is now being requested but not enforced, though largely complied with.
The gondola end and extra side displays were never removed and are still present in all our supermarkets and no Sainsburys, Waitrose, Co-op., Somerfield or M & S I've seen in that huge area has ever had a one way system.
