A mild, breezy & damp morning for a brisk & early loch-side
run. My first geography teacher used the memorable phrase "warm, wet, westerly, winds in winter" to characterise the UK climate, which in that respect hasn't yet changed, 45 years later.
Reassuringly, whilst cutting the subsidy for photovoltaic
panels (per se a sensible move), the UK government have done it in a way which
is both incompetent and illegal (ref). Reassuring, that is, for the rapid
restoration of normality. What’s more, their own advisors are advising them
that their “flagship” programme to improve the energy efficiency of 14 million
homes is just so much piss & wind. I’m sorry, I’ll retype that….. is going
to fail and only reach 2-3 million homes (ref). Which probably isn’t of huge
interest to people outwith the UK, except perhaps as yet another instance of
the failure of the so-called democratic process to deliver honest and effective
governance, particularly when there is very little fundamental difference
between the political parties.
