Solving refugee crisis

So Cameron throws more of our aid at the Syrian refugees and the EU wants to do the same.
The solution is to solve why they're leaving Syria. The west can end the conflict and help rebuild the country. Then the people won't want to flee.

Driverless Cars?

Some may say that's the problem. Too many cars these days don't have drivers at least people driving that have a mind hence Driverless.

Seriously when I first started using SatNav it occurred to me that if it could be hooked up to a computer controlling the car it could take you from A to B. However it needs very good GPS tracking down to feet, otherwise where would the car go. Delivery drivers use their SatNavs and can't find us. They are a couple of miles off and ave to ring us "where are you?"they say. How would that work if the car  was driving?

Spoof emails what do you do?

If you get some spurious half legitimate looking email FROM YOURSELF!! (never), it can’t be TRUE!

I’m guessing that one of your Contacts has been “hacked”. Somehow (and I’m speculating) that a “bot” has got onto  their Pc and accessed the address list passing details to the hacker. Then they can use the email addresses on the list to send “spoof” (SPAM) emails like the one supposedly from PayPal to you. As it seems from yourself!!

As you are probably aware NEVER click on the links contained in these emails. If you hover over it you will see the exact address it is linking to – not PayPal of course.

Nothing we can do about what is “out there” – anyone you’ve ever emailed could be hacked and then messages will come back to you, hence the silliness/stupidity  of ever “sending around” so called “informational/funny” emails no matter how well meaning they seem to be. When they hit someone who has been hacked, bingo, the hackers get all the email addresses used in that email, thus it grows like a virus.

Register with SPAMcop and fight them.

PayDay Loans - please avoid them

Look I know its a temptation but with interest rates of 1000% avoid them at all costs. Hope you've got a Visa card. If you can't afford it don't buy it.

There is an App to look for a Credit Union

Try this and don't get trapped.

Save your Steam Railway!

Oh dear - the closure of Daw Mill colliery is bad news for all Steam Railway enthusiasts.

It supplies most of the Steam Coal, without which the trains can't run.

Panic!! World with out Sir Nigel Gresley, the Flying Scotsman, Tornado, pulling trains of excited children on days out to the coast etc. Railway preservation societies like the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) are hard hit and having to cut back to save coal stocks.

What will we do.?

All of you - campaign to get more coal - there must be alternative mines. They just need some help.

Don't let Steam die forever.

Bonkers Government gives more money to the rich

Here we go again this Bonkers Government gives out more money to rich WORKING people

What about the Election pledge to help Married Couples (they may have children as well)?

Also would help Gay people in Civil Partnerships.

Giving money out (MY MONEY) to couples who put their kids in child care is Bonkers

In these times of austerity isn't ONE breadwinner per family enough  One stays at home to look after the children. If you can't afford childcare don't do it!

If Married couples had tax breaks then the one who stays at home would be helped by more income from the one working.

Raising children by their parents is by FAR the best way - statistics and endless studies have proved it. Being in a MARRIAGE is also the best way. There is NO equality for "Living together" - I'm not stopping you but if you want the benefits (not social security) real benefits for you and you r family, not to mention SOCIETY then get married!!

SIMPLE

You know it makes sense.

Think of the jobs this would create. All these mums n dads stopping at home, who would do their jobs? Also yes they would have less money, but cut down.

Sky TV is NOT your human right, even though prisoners get it.

Energy - worse than higher prices - what to do when the lights go out?

We are blindly sleep walking into a crisis.

I could write a book on this but the future of energy in this country is bleak.

I am old enough to remember the rota cuts in tte 70's under Heath. Its not nice. It could happen here in 3 - 6 years.

We are using more and more energy even though it is getting more expensive yet supply must match demand. Its a law of physics like night follows day - ask Prof Brian Cox - he knows everything.

Anyway why be worried? Because we're shutting power stations and not building new ones. Forget the turbines - ONE gigawat power station would be equivalent to 10000 turbines so where and how are they going to build them? By april 10% of our supply will be turned off - what then? That's about 5gw, or 50,000 turbines - LOL!! remember does the wind blow 24x7?

We've had the dash-for-gas about 15yrs ago many gas fired power stations were built cheap, clean and efficient but drained our gas reserves and they only last about 10-15years. Not a good idea so now we need several nuclear stations to replace the gap but where and how will they be built. They take about 5-10yrs to get going - we can't wait that long hence the GAP. That's when the lights go out.

Believe me you read it here.

The good thing about this economic crisis is it reduces demand for power giving us a little breathing space. But when things pick up? What about fuel where is that to come from? GAS - probably from Russia or the middle east but then we're dependant on imports and what if there's trouble? Look at events in Africa with Al Qaeda taking over. Be worried.

We could use less - fat chance! Technology advances to make more efficient devices, but what about all those electric cars? where do they get their power? WE could spend the money on turbines on insulating our homes better or putting solar panels on every house! Why not?

Funny  thing is we're sitting on 200 years worth of Coal - but they won't use that its "dirty". Technology exists to burn it cleanly but its more expensive so BILLS UP! one way or another.

SORRY.

Marriage Vs Marriage

The Confusatives are at it again, same again marriage for gays but no help for married couples, including Gays. One in the manifesto, one not in the manifesto, guess which?.

Will we believe Cameron again?

He says "vote for me again and I'll have a referendum on Europe" - do you beleive him?

Re the Marriage fiasco - Cleggy thinks its no big deal as he thinks a few quid more for us taxpayers is small beer. I bet he spends more than this on beer (or perhaps wine)?  Do we believe the LIEberals?

But isn't the bottom line honesty, integrity and truthfulness. Have any of them got it?
