Surprised it's not Crapita.
And if the school hadn't been run like this for years and it being known it was like this for years there wouldn't have been a TV programme to make. I think you'd have to be pretty gullible to believe their statement.
Such a shameless and brazen attempt to bribe the older electorate.
Presumably it has taken over a year because:
Cdr Dominic Murphy, head of the Counter Terrorism Command, said it had been an "extremely complex investigation"
An older friend of mine told me years back about an incident that happened on a university VAX running Unix. In those days, everyone was using vt100 terminals, and the disk drives weren't all that quick. He was working on his own terminal when without warning, he got this error when trying to run a common command (e.g. ls)
$ ls -l
sh: ls: command not found
So he went on over to the system admin's office, where he found the sysadmin and his assistant, staring at their terminal in frozen horror. Their screen had something like:
# rm -rf / tmp/*.log
^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C
# ls -l
sh: ls: command not found
# stat /bin/ls
sh: stat: command not found
A few seconds after hitting return, and the rm command not finishing immediately, he realised about the errant space, and then madly hammered Ctrl-C to try to stop it. It turns out that the disk was slow enough that not everything was lost, and by careful use of the commands that hadn't been deleted, managed to copy the executables off another server without having to reinstall the OS.
The chances of an accident while flying on an airline are probably a lot lower than the chances of having an accident going to and from the pub.
That's nothing new, that's the very basis of how a firm works out how to price an item or service, at the maximum price the market will bear. It has been this way since the year dot.
Collaborating with "competitors" however must be prevented or the market won't work. (This is the reason we have anti-monopoly laws, and anti-collusion laws). The laws exist already they just have to be enforced.
You can't build any kind of power generation facility without having some negative environmental effect. Tidal power does have quite serious impacts. The Severn Barrage was talked about decades ago, but even as far back as the 80s was seen as too environmentally problematic even though that one scheme alone could produce 7% of the UK's power (more today given efficiency advances as well as technological advances on the generation side).
It was the kid breaking into the substation to get his frisbee that was stuck in one of the insulators that did it for me. "Jimmmmmyyyy!!!!" while smoke was pouring out of his shoes.
Post-industrial depression landscape in the Cumbrian mountains? Or Yorkshire? The Pennines?
There's more to this than just th ORR being mean, the WCRC have not been holding up their end of the bargain:
You are failing to ensure the health and safety of your passengers and crew, thus putting them at risk of serious personal injury, as you are not implementing the controls identified in your risk assessment for rolling stock fitted with secondary door locking, in that:
- Passengers are being told by train crew to operate the secondary door locks;
- Stewards are not preventing passengers from operating the secondary door locks;
- Stewards are not preventing passengers from leaning on train doors or from leaning out of the open droplight windows in train doors of moving trains; and
- Secondary door locks are not in the ‘locked’ position or are being opened by train crew before the train is stationary; Therefore, creating a risk of persons falling from a train or being struck by infrastructure being passed by the moving train.
The WCRC have form for poor adherence to railway operating rules - they've been banned before once, see the Wootton Bassett Junction near miss (where one of their steam tours came within under a minute of colliding with a high speed train due to train crew routinely defeating safety systems) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Wootton_Bassett_rail_incident - in brief, this ended up with WCRC being banned from the national rail network for a time, the notice stating "the operations of WCR are a threat to the safe operation of the railway".
10kg of bruce anchor and 20kg of anchor chain and warp. It's easier with a bike because our harbour is drying and I can cycle out to the boat at low tide and not have to lug all this stuff all the way back to the car!

It's extreme wishful thinking to expect the next Labour government to change a voting system that just gave them a landslide to one that would have them governing in coalition.
