If we have rolling power cuts and Truss's government pipes up and says "we need to double down on oil and gas - renewables are shite and we need to fuck them into the long grass" - a significant proportion of the british public will pretty much let her do what she likes. (Which is what her oil and gas neolib masters want).

Nothing like being cold (or not having yer telly) to batter a public into submission eh?

I think one needs to check out the polls.

 

[Embattle]

Personally this time of year I start moving my Powerwall's backup reserve upwards, since even the most sunny day now will only produce a third of the energy of a summer day.....seems there will be a possibility I'll need it.

Oh I think she'll get booted out. But I think policy changes she makes will get less opposition because people will look at the government and scream "do something" - and the something she'll do is not the thing we should do.

(I mean, she's already doing it).

Question. Bad day in December. Maybe 20th (it's the shortest day (or thereabouts). What level of energy production do you get from your panels.

Reason I'm asking is - if I want to go completely off-grid and use 'leccy for all my power needs - heating included - I need to know the minimum production for a 4kw array (you're about 4kw, right?).

If I can get planning for solar, I don't want to draw anything from the grid, ever.


Edit: Maybe better in your powerwall thread, but wth eh

Meh, we just reduced our use, insulated and modernised. Current bills, combined, are now ~£125 a month, and we are in credit. Will be even better when we get the £60 a month off the government. Not even looked at the heating yet, not needed it so far...early obvs.

Sadly I think I said to you before going totally off grid isn't going to happen for you with what you want to do, our system is East/West 5.4kw with a maximum output at any one time of 3.7kw which is the limit of a standard installation. I've included the whole month of December 2021 in the attached Zip file, I expect our usage to be lower this December.

Our house is as well, our bill for the majority of September 2022 was about £54 although this naturally starts to swing upwards as the solar declines and the house requires some heating in morning and evening but the average monthly payment is based over the whole year thus there is a high amount of credit already stored for these months.

 

[Embattle]

Update to my thinking regarding lower usage this December, I might be wrong since there is now an EV to factor into the electricity figures

Will take to your power thread

Trade minister Conor Burns sacked after misconduct claim

The trade minister also had the Tory whip removed after allegations of inappropriate behaviour.

www.bbc.co.uk

Should make interesting reading, plus who would guessed he is only 50.

 

[Ormorof]

In terms of politics as a whole it's always worrying because we all expect and hope to maintain the highest standards in public life

Where have they been the last few years

 

[Raven]

I know he is a disgusting fucking Tory, but I always get a bit squeamish about "sacked" after "allegations"

Edit, and if they are sacking him because they know the allegations are true then presumably they knew they are true before the allegation, as in caught red-handed, so he should have been sacked before the allegation.

But, yeah, Tories, throw a dart, find a scumbag.

 

[Raven]

Speaking of which, someone will likely being sacked from work soon because we are all piss bored with their constant pro-Tory rantings. She was banging on about immigrants the other day, proper Daily Mail type. Our little office bubble consists of 3 white dudes that have been there years, 10 years ago it was just us and our boss, now us 3, an Indian chap, an Indian lady (cannot fucking wait for our office Diwali, both can seriously cook) a Canadian-Nigerian lady and this fucking weirdo.

I keep telling her that the office is no place to discuss politics or religion, but she just won't listen and keeps going and going.

I’d like to tell all daily mail readers to fuck off but that would have to include my parents :/

I have it on good authority that he was taking young Tories to see a decrepit Maggie and then shagging them

Maggie and the young Tory? wouldn't it be a bit dry?!

 

[Scouse]

It's specifically during the conference in Brum, so unless he was driving to Morlake Crematorium in London, then showing them where her ashes were scattered and then driving back to brum, I'm not show how "see a decrepit Maggie" can be a thing.

Unless I'm missing something?

Reality? Jokes? Anything else?

So long as you can whinge against it. I mean, do you even understand abstract thought, even for humours sake, or does everything have to become a multipage debate?

You seem to make a lot of stupid fucking statements late at night, from someone that used to have a drinking problem, is everything OK?

9:13 isn't really late at night tho'

It is for a drinker or

You are missing something. What he was sacked for and what he was known for doing are two very seperate things.

Edit - also, decrepit refers to when she was still alive.

 

[Scouse]

What he was sacked for: don't know - in the article it just says "inappropriate stuff" (which I'm getting a bit hacked off with tbh - if someone's done something bad and it's newsworthy then we should be told. I'm with @Raven on the allegations thing).

What he was "known for" - I've no idea.

@Raven - wasn't drinking. Was trying hard to see the joke, but couldn't. Still can't.

But to put your mind at ease - last time I had a drink was last Friday night. I'm strictly a social drinker. Getting a barrel of ale in for next weekend tho

 

[Aoami]

It's not a joke. I know a political journalist and he told me that Conor Burns had been taking Young Tories to meet a very old and decrepit Maggie and then expecting them to bend over for him as a thank you.

Thanks. That's why I didn't get it.

@Raven - will you please fuck off from having pops at my perfectly reasonable questions?

 

[DaGaffer]

I thought it was something he did last week, not ten years ago.

 

[Aoami]

It is but like I said this is just something else he was up to for years.

So the bloke he was, ahem, "flirting" with didn't make a complaint, but some bystander did? Fuck me, is that where we're at now? It's like fucking Iran.
