So until they sort out fast track decisions and deportation, what are they going to do with those illegals they round up? Put them in an empty prison cell - anyone see a flaw in that plan?

Not to be confused with OpenSUSE…
I think they are doomed. Visa rules for foreign students, who pay a lot more than British ones, make it less attractive than it used to be. And in general, the benefits of having a degree don’t make up for the ever increasing cost of that degree. My local Uni is shutting down many courses and getting rid of a lot of staff. Not just courses that some would label pointless either, it includes nursing for example.
Thanks for the archive link.
Fair enough. Updated my comment.
Edit: O P says the article headline was changed, and the post title has been corrected now. So removed my downvote, leaving this for the record. I hate deleted comments.
Downvoted for the shit title. Article headline says £19 a year. £94 over a random 5 year period, may as well say it goes up by £1880 per century…
That said, it’s another shitty case of socialise the losses caused by mismanagement.
Constituencies don’t vary in population nearly as much as your example. You could do more accurate calculations using This data but I doubt it would make much difference. And yes, fuck FPTP
Politicians. Morally obliged. Dream on.
Under FPTP there is not much use for this site. And while I believe, until proven wrong, that this site was created with the best intentions, the cynic in me thinks it could be a conservative plan to encourage a split in the votes for their opposition.
If we had PR, I would consider policies when voting. But at this point, even if I agreed with all conservative policies, I would not trust them to implement any of them. So my main consideration is which party has the best chance of beating the con artists in my area, not which party has the ‘best’ policies.
I’m not saying it can’t be done. But a larger heat pump and replacing all radiators drives up the cost, there is not always space for a bigger radiator, (and water tank), and while higher flow temperatures are possible, it tend to reduce efficiency. Sometimes it’s just not worth the investment, not helped by the big gap between gas and electricity prices in the UK
Something to do with physics. It’s not just about the heat output from a gas boiler vs heat pump. It’s the output from the radiator to the room that matters. For the same output, a gas boiler heats the water to a higher temperature than a heat pump. Which means a radiator gives out more heat to the room. As an extreme example, if it is freezing outside and the heat pump produces a lot of water at 15c, it may have a high thermal output but still wont keep your room warm. If it produces water at 30c, the radiator will transfer some heat to the room, but unless the radiator is very big or the room is well insulated, probably not enough.
Link me to a heat pump that produces water for central heating at 70C or more. Typically, flow temperature is closer 40C, which won’t heat the average house unless you increase (possibly double) the size and/or number of radiators. Which is expensive and not always feasible. You can run heat pumps at higher flow temperatures, but that reduces their efficiency. Don’t get me wrong, i think they are great. But successfully retrofitting to old UK housing stock needs expertise that is in short supply.
Heat pumps are great when the house is designed for it. Average uk house with shitty insulation and radiators that are unable to heat the room unless the water is really hot - it’s not going to work well.
Only six smaller airports have installed the new (bigger, heavier) scanners needed. All bigger airports have missed the deadlines. Not enough space, floor not strong enough etc. And now it appears the new scanners cannot be relied upon.
Absolutely. But if he takes some votes away from the conservatives, he can stay for a few weeks
Thank you. We need an amputator bot on lemmy
Not sure how secret this is. There are a few home office tenders with use of force in the description that seem related (supply of aircraft fuselage, catering) and there is also This Which mentions the same location as the tender for catering services
Ffs Labour, on xitter, really ??
Which may result in them opting out of paying into a private pension.
