- is this the Liverpool explosion? It looks like a Jeremy Beadle prankIanbolton
- Yeah, the car went on fire after the explosion, I assume the taxi driver locking the guy in the back with his bomb turned him into ground beef.PhanLo

- How the fuck did the driver get out without fatal injuries? Madness.Ianbolton
- Wonder if the covid screen helped?PhanLo
- i think his back was badly damaged, unsurprisinglyhans_glib
- Said on the news the driver is back home already recovering which is pretty mad.
There was a controlled explosion today related to the same guyPhanLo - probably drivers seat protected him + yeah... amazing. bomb was full of ball bearings. Bombers name was Emad. Sounds like 'He's mad' in Liverpool accent.shapesalad

UK is not so fucked, perhaps, in this instance?
Rolls Royce secure funding for development of mini (-ish) nuclear fission reactors...

secures-450m-for-mini-nuclear-re...I've been following this for about four years now and am super happy to see that it's finally taking shape. This could be a big step for British industry and Britain's climate commitments. Never mind exports down the line and a reclamation of what was a world-leading industry that has been utterly shat on for the past two or three decades.
If Britain had had more spine and kept in line with France's commitment to nuclear power, we could have been one of the lowest carbon-emitting developed countries in the world.
What was is someone said here earlier about the best time to plant a tree...?

- agreed but BMW own Rolls Roycefadein11
- I do agree though in principle, nuclear seems to be the only realistic option right now.fadein11
- BMW own the Rolls Royce automative marque only - not Rolls Royce the Industrial conglomerate that makes jet engines and nuclear reactorsNairn
- Apparently I don't know what a conglomerate is, lol. I don't know why i added that word.Nairn
- There's an amusing, and hugely expensive, fuck up related to the sale of the RR automative brand...Nairn

Yowza. It’s weird how everyone predicted brexit would be a disaster and then it just happened anyway
- it's weird how so many people say 'oh it's not because of Brexit but ALL due to COVID. COVID has messed so much up" blah blah blah blahIanbolton
- Or maybe it's a combination of both plus a bunch of other factors. Did you know they've repealed the corn laws?Morning_star

- Games workshops company valuation is inflated due to covid. It's annual income is still LESS that the annual income of the UK fishing industry.Morning_star
- GW 2021 Income - £353m
Fishing 2019 Income - £437m. These are both minuscule compared to Financial Services at £132bnMorning_star - That's still great money for painted figurines. :-)PhanLo
- 100% phanlo, great company and employer as well. Also I doubt the 2021 fishing figures will be close.fadein11
- If you don't eat fish it's not a bad thing :)i_was
