Basically we are seeing a gang war between two of the most powerful families within the Tory OCG. Cummings is a button man for Gove, capo in the Murdoch regime.

He has carried out a botched hit on Hancock, who is now, figuratively, on a saline drip in an unguarded hospital room.
Hancock is a made man in "the Tufton Street gang", running a crew for underboss Neil Record.

So far the Bratva (Russian mafia) have not got involved. Their front man, Boris Johnson, is under orders to keep a lid on things and not draw too much heat from feds.
His boss, Lebedev, is a consiglieri who reports directly to underboss Vladimir Putin, who is second only to boss of bosses, Semion Mogilevich.

The 2 other main families in the Tory OCG are: corrupt property developers and "the firm" - a group of high ranking Met police officers.
The property mob are staying out of it so far, but "the firm" are closely linked to the Murdoch family, and may have been colluding in the hit on Hancock.

Tune in next week for another episode of "The Contraltos" (they are like the Sopranos, but lower).

Nice province - shame if sumfing 'appened to it...

John Stevens' collusion inquiry into the West Belfast UDA and murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane found that of 210 UDA members it probed 207 were on the British State payroll. That's 98.5%.

1/
Initially, the British Army briefed Stevens that "no dedicated Military Intelligence unit operates in Northern Ireland" and he only found out about the Force Research Unit when senior RUC officers blamed the unit for an arson attack that took place at his Inquiry headquarters

2/
It turns out the FRU was involved in the murders of over 200 British citizens in the 70's and 80's in Northern Ireland - although the victims were mostly Catholics, so maybe the FRU didn't class them as "proper" citizens... or "people" even? But it "taught them a lesson".

Any fule kno "renewables aren't reliable"; "are expensive"; "are difficult to integrate into grids"

The problem is the fools never, EVER, bother to check the facts. So this thread is for all you fools out there, to save you 30 seconds googling.

1. Reliability
University of Pennsylvania have done some good data digging: repository.upenn.edu/psr/vol1/iss8/…

They looked at SAIDI - average interruption duration ( minutes) of States in US and countries in EU.

Higher %ge renewable = longer SAIDI, right? WRONG.
Quite the opposite.
And the German switch to renewables the "Energiewand" must have led to an increased SAIDI, yes? NO.

Does anyone else feel a bit disappointed that the ISC report mentioned "9 Russians" but did not name them?

Actually you can find out quite a lot with a bit of googling...
This might not be "the 9", but I bet there is some crossover....

@rebechilliard Goods need to be certified as conforming to EU standards before being placed on the EU market.

The producer has to prove things to the notified authority.

For companies based in the EU a whole lot of things don't need a whole audit trail of proof; just being based in the EU...
@rebechilliard ..is enough to prove you haven't used any dodgy materials/ methods/suppliers, because the EU knows such things are not available to companies in the EU.

Manufacturers in 3rd Countries can also sell in the EU, but they have to assemble a ton of ...
@rebechilliard ...paperwork and independent conformity certification. Far more than is needed by an EU company to get their goods certified.

Many (most) UK companies who have been happily selling in the EU and getting their products certified fairly easily....

@colinrtalbot The Ulster protestants were also the backbone of the American revolutionary army in 1776. King George described the American Revolution as "a Presbyterian war".

The simple truth is Scots Irish culture descends from the Border Reivers of the 13-16th Century "debatable lands"
cont
@colinrtalbot … and is entirely different from both the Gaelic Highlander Culture and the East Coast Anglo-Norman culture.

Its watchwords are "might is right" and "no surrender". Peace is anathema to them - you do not come to an accommodation with your enemies...
@colinrtalbot ...you exterminate them as Andrew Jackson did the native Americans - the croppies must lie down.

To achieve their ends, they will reach for any tool that comes to hand: the ballot box (ballot-stuffing) or the rifle; the law - if it is on their side - or the lynch-rope.

I believe HMG are DELIBERATELY creating a situation in Belfast and Larne where the border controls in January will not meet EU requirements for handling 3rd country imports.

I believe they are planning to manufacture a crisis. Put the EC in the ...
… position of having to either turn a blind eye to a hole in the SM perimeter, or force IE to take the blame for NI/IE border checks.

HMG's plan consists of deliberately NOT building the necessary infrastructure, staff levels and systems at Belfast and Larne and also...
… frustrating the EU's ability to monitor the provision of GB/NI border controls by banning them from even renting office space in Belfast.

HMG cannot, however, prevent Dublin from putting the correct infrastructure in place by January.

I would suggest that NI businesses ...
