That's the typical nimby response though isn't it

Yes we need these thing but not there, there or there

One again, that isn’t what he’s said.

*Once

But crack on with your agenda-based strawmanning, by all means.

Green MP opposes 100-mile corridor of wind farm pylons in his Suffolk constituency.

Adrian Ramsay, the party’s co-leader, will go against the Government’s net zero plans.
-----
This is why I often struggle to take the Green party seriously. They want environmental policies but constantly seem to oppose ever actually building anything that would help bring about said policies.

They oppose nuclear energy, they opposed HS2, they regularly oppose solar farms, and now they oppose pylons that would transport wind energy.

They might as well rename themselves the NIMBY party.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He doesn’t want to block it; he’s said quite clearly that he just wants a ‘pause’ whilst there’s a proper options assessment to ensure that alternatives are considered.

Greens have been pushing hard for a huge expansion of offshore wind, which has a much lower ecological impact.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
These pylons are for offshore wind farms though so I don't see what other options we realistically have in this scenario.

It's been suggested to bury them underground but that's going to be more expensive and will surely be even more damaging ecologically.

The Greens certainly aren’t going to look good (and they’re going to lose all of their support) if they spend five years trying to block, or repeatedly delay, every actionable renewable energy plan.

I don’t think that that’s what’s happening here though, or what we’re going to see.

No need to lash out

If you don't think the Greens court the NIMBY vote in this country then you're ignorant, which I wouldn't blame you for being seeing as you don't live here but this is what we face everytime we try to go through any serious infrastructure development. It's why HS2 was so ridiculously overpriced.

There's always a environmental conservation reason to block a green policy

"It's been suggested to bury them underground but that's going to be more expensive and will surely be even more damaging ecologically."

Hugely confused by this, how are offshore wind farms buried underground?

To bury the cabling underground instead of using pylons.

Never mind - re-read it. This is about pylons transferring the power. I should stop drinking on Sunday nights.

Buried wind turbines?

Modern technology eh.

They should put them in every away ground that Liverpool dropped points in.

Final result of the second round of the French parliamentary election:

Le Pen - 37.05% (143 seats)

Mélenchon - 25.95% (182 seats)

Macron - 24.54% (168 seats)


What electoral system do they use in France ?

I don’t know but I’m sure that whatever it is, Rosso will have had to explain it to a handful of people that he knows and it is therefore a laughing stock in the entire international community

They use two round run-off (like FPTP, but ensuring that independents and candidates from smaller parties get a fair crack and that the MP ultimately elected gets a decent share of the vote) for the Assembly.

The Senate I think is elected by electoral college.

Can you imagine the editorial meetings, all of them facking SEETHING?

I imagine the majority of the staff at the Telegraph (outside of the top management) voted Labour anyway.

Looked fake to be honest.

Inmate was in normal clothes and the cell looked like a normal room.

Probably someone just looking capitalise on the first story.

I've never been to prison although I do keep a pair of emergency handcuffs in the bedside drawer.

Farage joining the Tories latest:

May 8, Robert Jenrick: "I would not oppose Nigel Farage coming back into the (Conservative) party.”

July 8, Robert Jenrick: "I don't think that Nigel can, or should, be part of the Conservative Party."

Lol
