  1. @Mikehillier EF Schumacher: it is OK to use capital wealth to make yourself independent of using capital wealth.
  2. @Mikehillier Of course they're not!! They're in their infancy!! But nuclear is 50 yrs old and still wants subsidy FFS!!!
  3. @keithramsey Zackly. If you close your eyes and put the headphones on. Hmm. Market niche for Greek harbour noises?
  4. @nickgreenphotog Oh. I misunderstood.
  5. @keithramsey Yes, with salad, fresh grilled fish with the limpid waters lapping at a boat. Bouzouki's sharp harmonies. Sound of laughter.
  6. @cka1970 GReeks, not Geeks. Noone really cares if geeks exit the EZ.
  7. @keithramsey Only that the UK seems to have drifted into the Mediterranean Sea during the night.
  8. @Green_Caroline Neo-libs approve of low taxation & small state. Greece did this by evasion. Osborne doing it precipitately.
  9. Sepp Blatter wants an alternative to penalty shoot-outs. That would be a larger goal then. greenerblog.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/world-…
  10. #MostCommonLies There is no alternative to what your rulers are doing.
  11. @askjohnhumphrys to ask MoD speaker whether he is 100% certain that use of Trident would not initiate global holocaust. greenerblog.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/nuclea…
  12. @askjohnhumphrys to ask DECC speaker why nuclear power is not insured.
  13. @askjohnhumphrys How does it feel to be on the receiving end of interruptions? How does it feel? That's all we've got time for.
  14. #Lagarde to Greeks "Pay your taxes". Why did IMF not realise Greeks were not paying taxes *before* crisis?
  15. @Mikehillier Choose correct answer: "A man who uses his capital as though it is income is (a) a successful businessman (b) an idiot"
  16. @Mikehillier Come on. You clearly want to discuss power, safety, cost and carbon emissions rather than insurance of N-power (lack of).
  17. @Mikehillier Red Herring nizkor.org/features/falla…
  18. @ossiejnr There is an extra cost to a gluten free diet. It's fair to try to cancel that cost, but present way is daft.
