Like many of my generation he didn't have the privilege of going from school to university but did it the hard way by studying, often in his own time, to improve his knowledge. I too did it that way and I know how hard it was, both financially and time-wise.<br /><br />Today's young people would no more think of spending 3 hours in a college or university after a working day of 9 -10 hours than fly in the air.<br /><br />Yes, he's one of a few.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-8538204161835586082010-01-30T19:33:12.283+00:002010-01-30T19:33:12.283+00:00Indeed Niko ' and there's always the posta...Indeed Niko ' and there's always the postal vote'.

David Cameron ...Climate change deniers nightmare <br /><br /><br />David Cameron confirms that a "Low Carbon Economy" will be an "urgent" priority for a Tory government<br /><br />ConservativeHome recently published a poll of Tory members that found reducing Britain's carbon footprint was a low priority for the next generation of Conservative MPs.<br /><br />This letter from David Cameron's office to a correspondent has just been drawn to my attention:<br /><br /> "Thank you very much for getting in touch with David Cameron about your concerns over the integrity of climate scientists at the IPCC. I apologise for the delay in replying but over the last couple of months there has been a huge increase in the number of e-mails David has received each day and it taking us a little longer than usual to reply to each one.<br /><br /> I can see that you feel recent allegations have cast doubt over the case for climate change, and the integrity of the science. However, our view is that public policy on climate change has been built over many years, with input from a wide variety of expert sources, and we do need to significantly reduce our carbon emissions.<br /><br /> It is always right to keep an open mind, and question scientific theories. But, those in favour of doing nothing on the basis of scientific scepticism need to show that the risks we run by not acting are small and manageable. Given all the information and evidence we now have, that is a very difficult case to make. <br /><br /><br /><br />http://conservativehome.blogs.com/thetorydiary/2010/01/david-cameron-confirms-that-a-low-carbon-economy-will-be-an-urgent-priority-for-a-tory-government.htmlNikostratoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581441869560921339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-51722266202936975122010-01-30T18:17:07.687+00:002010-01-30T18:17:07.687+00:00With the retirement John McFall we see the passing...With the retirement John McFall we see the passing of that rarest of creatures, an honourable MP who genuinely cared.<br /><br />I may not have agreed with his politics, but I admired his gritty determination, especially as chairman of the Commons Treasury Select Committee.<br /><br />I hope he has a long and happy retirement.JRBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864418763227369458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-12239769489918192622010-01-30T18:00:15.270+00:002010-01-30T18:00:15.270+00:00'Stranger things have happened'
