Nutt sacked
Published (2009-11-10 21:41:00)
Quote: Three more members of drugs advisory panel resign after sacking of David Nutt - Three members of the Government’s drugs advisory panel resigned today after Alan Johnson failed to persuade them to stay on after his sacking of David Nutt as the body’s chairman. A source close to the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) named the three advisers as Simon Campbell, Ian Ragan and John Marsden. Two other members of the committee,...

Hmm ... heavily influenced by Alex Jones perhaps (very likely he's in the pay of the CIA or somesuch organisation). That's not to say there isn't any truth in any element of it. But I always think it's better to work things out yourself, rather than "buy in" to a package of ideas someone else has prepared and is flogging around the globe.

Quote: ... "Oil companies that do not meet this requirement will pay huge fines," Putin told executives at the industry meeting. Russia flares around 20 billion cubic metres of associated gas every year, or approximately one-third of the total amount extracted at the country's oilfields. Trapping this gas can result in vast emission cuts, as well as increased gas sales. Some experts rank Russia as the world's...

I know someone who's recently upgraded to AVG 9 and his PC has started crashing a lot too. He was putting it down to Win 7. I'm using AVG 8.5, might be time to give AVAST a try. Eset (or Nod32) is pretty good, they also provide free online scans. Slightly OT myself but this place could really do with a true off topic section where people can talk about non PO subjects.

Sure, uranium mining produces CO2. But 6GW of new UK nuclear, even accounting for the mining operations still produces way less CO2 than the 6GW of coal alternative. Maybe we can do without the extra 6GW, but then you're not comparing apples with apples. A few years ago government was describing nuclear as "zero-CO2". Every time I heard a politician utter that phrase on the radio ...

Who believes the stats anymore? Choco rations have gone up 25% this week. Double-plus good! Anyway, could it mean that many people have given up reporting crime? Perhaps people are more likely to report crime in the country because they haven't given up all hope yet? Or it could just be something boring like a change in the way the police record crimes (as keeps happening)....
