So what happens if they have flattened your battery and there is a power cut? Oh come on Sheepy, it's all for the greater good, innit. Well if that is what they are calling blatant madness these days it must be. |

1. And that limited number just happen to fit in with the shortage of Grammar school places LOL. No - nothing to do with grammar school places simply a fact of biology. There are only a limited percentage of kids suitable for higher education As I said - it was an arbitrary target based on no scientific evidence - purely politicking. So Comps fail over half of their students.. |

There is plenty of evidence...And we haven't even touched on the instability of litheum batteries yet Thats true, they need a constant monitoring system which when it goes wrong they are prone to explode. What is actually needed is a solid state battery. You haven't lived until you have seen a thermal runaway. When I worked in aviarion and enterd a battery bay or shop you could tell there had been a thermal runaway because of the smell it creates which can linger on for months after the event took place. |

Or join the rest of the mouthy rude liars on here who makes stupid claims and back them up with childish insults instead of links. And you and I will not e discussing the instability until this is settled because it effects the truth of everything else you say to me. Feel free to discuss it with Pacifico if you prefer. I have provided enough links. Take it up with those who drafted the reports if you disagree. And as for adult debate when you have one and it becomes too adult for you ...you then carry on to call others liars or worse....Does the word hipocrocy ring any bells attached to a large dose irony? |

No its as i described. You are at the mercy of the tanker drivers, and we've seen that actually happen. Do tell when was the last time we had a power cut that lasted 10 hours in this country? (And I don't mean when we had huge floods etc, which would stop you travelling anyway) The thing is I really shouldn't have to explain what I mean, when it should be blatantly obvious you never consider you have other options which make a damn sight more sense future wise, not be constantly relying on things that don't even exist or may never exist. Fine if you want rid of petrol and diesel but not without a sustainable plan, it is utter insanity dressed up as sense. What are you on about, what other options. What things that don't exist. Is this some form of existentialism? |

There are only a limited percentage of kids suitable for higher education As I said - it was an arbitrary target based on no scientific evidence - purely politicking. So Comps fail over half of their students.. 1. If you are insinuating that the limited number of Grammar school places were sufficient for the number of people able to benefit from a grammar school education then you have given yourself the ridiculous job of trying to prove such nonsense. 2. You make a silly stunted minded opinion and then try to rely on it as if you were talking sense. 3. Another asinine comment that ignores the obvious ^^^. A/ Comprehensive students are not selected through an exam. B/ despite the lack of benefits enjoyed by Grammar school students there are still many students capable of gaining certification. C/ Proving that if there were more Grammar school places there were many multiples of people capable of filling them. |

The possibility of 50% of students at some point in the future going to university, based upon attention being given to youngsters getting a good foundation in education in their early years, is clearly obtainable given that Uni places were available that is. Especially when approaching 50% of the referred to as 'not fit for grammar school education' do extremely well in the 'local failed Comp'. I would say that it is people like yourself who lack foresight, that help to inflict damage on society. , 2. I assume you are being deliberately dense. I never said that Grammar schools prevent anyone from obtaining 'exam certificates'. I made the point that those successful at a comprehensive school could have benefitted from a grammar school education if grammar school places had been available. Then instead of comprehensive schools the also rans could have had their problems dealt with more directly in schools designed to do just that. |

Proving my point that too many capable youngsters were denied the advantages of a grammar school education. What it's proved is that teachers, pupils and probably parents were more capable in that particular catchment area. My bet is it it deteriorated post comprehensive despite haveing no evidence other than comprehensives were a failure and, in my opinion were put in place to breed Labour voting fodder.   |
