Looks the same basic idea as an orifice chamber - which is a flow control chamber with a weir wall with a hole in it. So the hole lets out a trickle flow but in high/floods the weir is overtopped.

It's a bit stark but essentially it's just demographic changes. That's not an unusual thing to consider in political discourse.

Surely expecting people to die is a certainty.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance You can view tolerance as a social norm and be opposed to anyone rejecting that social norm.

Without solar panels, yes. With solar panels I'd get a battery and a small generator that can be used manually. The higher losses are made up for by the free solar energy.

Givenergy, Tesla or pylontech modular are your best bet. If you have an AC linked battery any solar will be compatible. Getting off grid power needs a bit more thinking about - Tesla and givenergy have off the shelf solutions for that for an auto switchover. How long they last depends on how...

Surely this means he can be properly deported under existing laws and following due process? Rather than spending millions per person on this shambles of a scheme.

What incident in the UK are you thinking of? I don't believe any PM has criticised the legitimate use of deadly force, have they?

I am utterly opposed to them but they should still be able to hold their jamboree.

Big difference is cherry pickers have controls in the basket. Too many examples of mancages resulting in crushing or tipping the workers out. I wouldn't use mancage on a telehandler for indoor work where there's a crush risk. The driver can't see and it doesn't take much movement in the wrong...

I don't think anyone would be too keen on ERM Mk2. Was single market or customs union asked?

As long as we keep free enterprise and democracy I'm not too worried. Autocrats like to make a song and a dance about Western 'bickering' - trying to make the point that a 'strong man' leader means stability. They (deliberately) avoid the point that the bickering is the strength of Western...
