@andyburnham Only on some matters, but national strategic decisions needs to be centralised. The water, train, power are all examples where decisions made at a regional level doesn't work for the national interests i.e why can't water be piped from Scotland / Yorkshire to Southern England
@higgyboson@DC_Police Very bizarre, my wife needed to have the gold lettering redone on her parents headstone and there was quite a lot of checking of deeds and confirmation that she was authorised to do this before a stone mason would even touch the stone.
@London_W4 It is your fault, you delegate your responsibilities to others to manage on your behalf so you get what you get. If you don't like it, stand for local council / gov. or actively support the party you believe would serve your best interests. Apathy is the killer of democracy
@MorganBarrettX Ridiculous, you can not eradicated TB. There are no known cases of humans contracting TB from eating cooked meat. Solution is surely to vacinnate all cattle then you don't need to worry about testing. Remove the lungs and lymph nodes, rest of carcass ok to consume.
@BrianEntin I did a project which required 25MW of power and the distance from residential properties was many kilometers and we still needed to have noise attenuation. Looks like they have 9 or so gas fired generators within a stones throw - how did this get through planning - insane??
@BrianRoemmele They have bigger problems...a recent Windows 11 upgrade patch completely screwed my computer...needed to be rebuilt...need to focus on their basic products first!
@FT There are plenty of Brownfield sites, go and exhaust these first and then look at non-farm lands next...besides the water infrastructure is not capable of supporting 1m people - would you believe it needs a £bn. desalination plant to be installed first
@EdwardHobden The Scots have a sgian-dubh (black knife) and dirk (dagger) but can only be worn as part of Highland traditional outfit. You can not just walk around with them without the right attire, or brandish them in public so you can wear traditional knives but there are restrictions.
@Markafc87@Alexandr4Denman@Mike1222 For this contract value it should go through proper tender and due diligence. No start-up company would be awarded a contract of this magnitude - it is corruption and if you did it, you would be banged up.
