Possible gas price increase of 10% in France

For people used to the massive increases in the UK the fact that France faces only a 10% increase gives pause for thought.

The problem is that our system essentially prices all gas at the marginal price rather than the marginal consumption.

I don't think this is a sustainable mechanism in an era of increasing constraints on supply.

The wheels are fast coming off the Govt's energy policy - or rather lack of policy - because the UK basically doesn't have anything remotely like a credible energy policy or strategy.

This lack of a plan is very bad news for Britain. High oil prices are causing real damage to the economy and many vulnerable people will die this winter as a direct result of fuel poverty.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
