Quote of the day - The real issue is jobs, boys... Fore!

I hope he won't mind. From a poster called Bob on an eco-forum I frequent, when sharing a link:

Speech made by John Hutton, Unite Conference, BAFTA, London, 26 March 2008

'Shows how the government is selling new nuclear power - not as a necessary addition to our energy supply, but as a b***dy great gravy train for the engineering industry and selected parts of academia. If they are not subsidising the industry, where is all the money for new Chairs, National Skills Academy coming from? '

It's also inspired a new label/acronym/category: JOBS4BOYS

Peter, perhaps its time to hone up your civil engineering skills? This could obviously be a nice gravy train to get aboard....

Sadly, I had to promise not to use the degree to try and build anything:(

But hold on...

U-turns, lying, going back on one's word. All coupled with massive ineptitude in the field...

..I'd be perfect!
