Gives a review with more information

Dr Busby is the UK’s expert on nuclear and understanding the correct model of radiation dose.
(of course the ‘authorities’ ignore what happens once one ingests radioactive particles, which is what most people will be doing after Japan. They refuse to see how once a particle is lodged in a particular part of the body and continues to emit radiation that that part is hugely under threat and will likely degenerate into cancer)

Please calm down Chris.

Regarding Joss Garman’s background please explain why it seems to be OK to judge someone on their education over which they have no control, for example going to Eton, or their privileged background, like Cameron or the countess toff Harriet Harman? Do you not remember how the Tory Toffs campaign backfired Chris?

It seems to be OK for the left to be rude about people but no one else.

I illustrate Garman as being an absolute example of someone not living in the real world and telling other people how they should live their lives when it doesn’t affect him. Stupid things like the excessive tax on petrol are hard to pay for by normal people but for him it makes no difference and that is selfish and cruel.

The validity of his comments should take everything into account but since he has never had to worry about the price of anything how can they? You criticise Cameron for not living in the real world, a point on which I agree and with this character it’s exactly the same.

His support of those blocking that GM food to allow those Africans to starve to death was a particular low and as I said at the time it wouldn’t affect him as he sat down to eat his organic muesli.

What is really sad is how the Labour Party once represented the working man before it became full of career politicians like the tax avoiding Ed Miliband who has never done a single days work in his life and I just wish the party could recapture its roots. I remember you laughing because I wasn’t earning much above minimum wage Chris and you thought that was highly amusing. Do you really think Harold Wilson would have found that funny?

All I want is real Labour to come back and represent the working classes rather than a few irrational angry young men which incidentally is exactly how you come across from your obnoxious ramblings Chris.

The penalty charge is nothing more than the mechanism the government has adopted to provide, by stealth, a subsidy for the nuclear induistry by forcing consumers to pay more for their competitors electricity. Its intent is clear both from the go=vernment’s own statements and those of the CEO of EDF, namely to alter the competititve advantage of one business against another. That’s a subsidy and to argue otherwise is simply to distort the meaning of words – a very dangerous road to start down as Orwell warned us.
