WindFarm Anger - Andrew Marr show - Ed Davey is WRONG!

Just had the biggest LIE from Ed Davey on the Andrew Marr show.

He said "Windfarms only get paid when they generate electricity".

This is a LIE.

Constraint payments pay them for NOT generating electricity. We pay the greedy windfarm owners even more to NOT generate electricity. 

Is this right?

Also because the infrastructure is not there yes they get paid for generating electricity but then it isn't used by the Grid. So what use is that?

Sorry Andrew - get him back and put him right.

Lottery Scam - £2 ticket actually HALVES you chances

Lottery Scam - £2 ticket actually HALVES your chances.

Yes they have increased the winnings, actually by only 60p! but its peanuts in realty. Its all to do with probability which no one has explained so here’s  a quick lesson.

Throw a dice – you have a 1/6^th chance of getting a 6

If you 2 6s in a row its not 2/6 its actually 1/36!

Why? You have one chance of a 6followed by a 6 as opposed to all the other combinations 1+1 1+2, etc.

So lets say you spend £10 a week on lottery tickets. That makes 10 tickets previously, 10 chances of winning the jackpot. Now you £10 only gets you 5 tickets so you have HALF as many chances of winning SEE? The odds of winning haven’t changed.

Prize increased from £10 to £25 = 60p rise. Why?

Lets say

Previously you had 10 tickets, 10/40 000000 (10 in 40million)

Now you have 5 tickets 5/40000000 (5 in 40million)

So prize £10 x 10/40 000000 versus  £25  x 5/40 000000

Quick arithmetic

Chance of winning £10 = ¼ – versus £25 1/8

¼ of 10 = £2.50

!/8 of 25 = £3.12

Increase a mere 62p – thank you national Lottery.

Of course you can spend more money on tickets but who wins then?

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?
