,.... Given the current state of the Royal Navy, I guess they're in with a chance! The Royal Navy doesn't take orders from Holyrood. :) No indication of what the UK government think of all this, Perhaps they have actually read the Common Fisheries Policy? https://ec.europa.eu/fisheries/cfp/fishing_...

Another reason to not save for a pension. Just spend all your money then claim benefits

I'm not sure there are any benefits if you get the full state pension?

Most of the links are for the USA Most websites you are likely to use are also likely based on US servers... :problem: I doubt it. For example, the likes of Google and Facebook have data centres in Ireland. I can't imagine why any UK retailer or bank, for example, would want to put their severs 4,0...

Russia hasn't been Soviet since 1991. And Chernobyl doesn't watch anything, It's buried underneath a huge containment structure. Oh yes, and Chernobyl isn't in Russia, it's in the Ukraine.

Sorry about that.

I'm not that surprised. Chernobyl is now a tourist destination. You can book tours. People go there to look at the ruins and the wildlife. Apparently the bears and suchlike have thrived due to the absence of humans.

I think the Earth can endure anything we throw at it.

The headline is a tad misleading. The current Conservative government has no new plans at all for the SPA. The Centre for Social Justice, a conservative think tank, has produced a report recommending that the SPA be raised to 70 by 2028 and 75 by 2035. Whether or not the government will take any not...
