Priorities.

Someone said its 500 million pounds in overseas aid, and aid for UK environmental defence is now such a hot tattie that yes that might happen, it may now be diverted solely to the UK (surely that's a political no brainer, Labour Party)?


The rail link to the SW is over for the foreseeable 10 years IMHO - even the rain and disruption I last experienced in 2012 was showing the way here. Somerset - rail line blocked by water (rain). Devon - the now washed away coastal bit screwed me over even then. Cornwall - crashed car got on the line, utterly third world rail link west of Plymouth-Yeovil to Camborne took 8 hours. IK Brunel would have recognised every station such was the lack of 20th Century investment.


Shelterbox - nice chaps to a man and women but see what happens when the tail (Shelterbox) begins to wag the dog (me) on MOD land.


Apologies if you've tuned in to read about aeroplanes and things.
