Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Is the person on the bottom left double face-palming?

Sensible policies for a happier Britain!

I don't understand. 6pm already was dinner time?

I remember the old railgun programme back when I was a student. I didn’t know the projectile R&D carried on.

George Osborne says UK has been left behind in cryptocurrency boom Ex-chancellor criticises hesitant approach to crypto and warns country in danger of missing next surge in market

Opportunity costs for grant applications, especially in my field, are only getting worse.

Reflects my anecdata in the UK. Loads more EVs about now compared to 2021.

It’s because they’re always doing what they think the Daily Mail wants them to do.

This makes you angry, cos it's a reannouncement of a load of stupid ideas cooked up by the Home Office, a dept so hard of thinking it can barely keep its doors open.

Oh that’s good. KOTOR II in 2004 was one of the most cerebral and interesting pieces of Star Wars done since the original trilogy. Also Sara Kestelman’s voice acting for Kreia was perfect youtu.be/iq1N8K0IyWs?...
