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
Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
Peter, perhaps its time to hone up your civil engineering skills? This could obviously be a nice gravy train to get aboard....
ReplyDeleteSadly, I had to promise not to use the degree to try and build anything:(
ReplyDeleteBut hold on...
U-turns, lying, going back on one's word. All coupled with massive ineptitude in the field...
..I'd be perfect!
