Or the Bristol Children's Hospital in the early 1990;s.

The FT editorials have seemed to me in the past far more Tory-friendly than the main columnists (apart from Chris Giles, though he's pressed Osborne usefully on some accounting tricks).Spacedone wrote:Something tells me this isn't the newspaper reaction the Tories wanted...PaulfromYorkshire wrote:This from a decent article in the FThttp://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2585d674-4953 ... z3Eux2LC3T" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;in the bid both to draw a clear dividing line with Labour and reassure the wavering right, they have staked out a fiscal position that is neither sober nor realistic

Is this an editorial?
I agree it will be interesting to see their take. But there's surely no guarantee that any paper except the Guardian will support Dave.AnatolyKasparov wrote:Still, it remains to be seen how the big circulation Tory papers play it.

They will love it and praise it as the most statesman like speech ever. They will all say how much Dave said (he said nothing) and compare it with how little Miliband said (he provided substance). This was always the narrative, even praising Ed last year has been so they could say this year wasn't as good.AnatolyKasparov wrote:Still, it remains to be seen how the big circulation Tory papers play it.

I can't help feeling it was also a two fingers up 'fuck you!' to Ian Katz and the Newsnight crew for getting in the execrable Evan Davies when there's a much better journalist and interviewer (and thinker) available.ohsocynical wrote:I love Martin Rowson, but after listening to that interview, I love Eddie Mair too.rebeccariots2 wrote:I'm listening to it again now.

Personally don't think there is much use in large scale solar farms in the UK. I think homes should have them fitted with a decent battery system for storage but farms I am not sure will ever be that efficient. Geo-thermal, Hydro and Tidal are the way to go in the UK imo. we have the annual equivalent of 9 nuclear power stations in geo-thermal alone and it would bring clean renewable jobs to the north and South West. The govt even signed a knowledge sharing deal with the iceland govt for development then cut funding and dropped development. It is completely unfathomable that a relatively mature/ cheap/ renewable resource like that isn't being utilised. ITs not like tidal it doesnt have the cost implications of barrages/dams and is environmentally friendly.rebeccariots2 wrote:Jim Pickard @PickardJE 47m47 minutes ago
