  • That is a highly misleading figure. 10% of UK renewable energy is generated at Drax, which is not only the UK’s biggest single emitter of carbon, it burns wood pellets imported from British Columbia, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. Fossil fuels power the tree harvesters, the saw mills, the transport trucks, the trains, the pellet factories and the ships involved in getting that fuel to Yorkshire from half a planet away.







  • They aren’t. “Indian curries” are a British invention, where in the C17th onward a vast collection of dishes from disparate and very regionalised cuisines were conflated together by those in the Raj as “curries”.

    These curries were adapted and created for British tastes, and were not eaten by the native populace. When men and later families came back to Britain from postings in the Raj they brought this new cuisine with them, and sometimes their cooks.

    Commercial Anglo-Indian cuisine appears from the 1920s, and with the end of the colony and the partition came a wave of immigrants from Pakistan, who opened up more establishments.

    The boom began with Bangladeshi refugees arriving in the 1970s, about the time when working classes were looking beyond fish and chips for “eating out”. Here British Indian Restaurant cuisine was formed from combining Anglo-Indian and Bangladeshi dishes. BIR is a highly modular style of cooking which allows a great degree of customisation by the customer, an economic use of ingredients, and the ability to fill almost any order within minutes.






  • It’s stark. The engine vibrates so violently it is literally shaking the car apart. Any issues with the chassis are undetectable because the car is incapable of running enough to expose them before the components are broken by the engine. The current issue is the batteries are being destroyed by the vibrations. They have only the ones currently installed left. There’s no hiding from it. The engine is horrifically bad. It is the limiting factor at the moment.

    AM are the customer, and they’ve been sold unworkable goods. Its their right to attribute their struggles appropriately.
