Not often carry out nuclear industry executives and hardline activists who be against them agree on anything. Mutually the two hates the thought of continuing to stockpile highly radioactive waste the reactor cores of nuclear power plants on the site of each power-generating station. An hour-long hearing held December 2, 2013 drew almost 200 people from Ohio and Michigan to the Hilton Garden Inn in Perrysburg's Levis Commons was a reminder that both sides are still far apart on what the government's next step should be. Although it would mean putting up with the waste decades longer than expected, industry and trade unions eventually want a single, national repository.

Many companies and investors who own assets in foreign lands and send back the gains to UK are still enjoying the legacy of the empire The positive result on UK's present account has decreased harshly since the financial crash, but, and the future looks less hopeful. HSBC's chief economist, Stephen King, is also affected by 5% deficit. He argues that that should be down to zero or positive in the aftermath of a severe recession. King's concern is that deficits grow in times when many shoppers consume more imported goods than ever. Much better to start from a situation of balance or even a positive balance sooner than the situation worsens. An appropriate recession, one in which declining wages or mass unemployment that eradicate people's incomes in total, lessen the import bill noticeably.

Among all the extremely confidential papers about GCHQ exposed by the whistleblower, Edward Snowden, this has to be one of the least delicate. But it provides a peek into the world of the 6,100 people packed into the open-plan and underground GCHQ offices; that there is a sports activity at all shows something about the agency which many people outside their world could not appreciate. Last year, GCHQ also made trips to the Paris Disneyland, and its sailing club participated in an offshore regatta at Cowes.
