Prices want freezing for 10 year's... don't spend the money on new nuke subs... the yanks have got plenty to sort out a threat.

The lights will not go out because the old, poor will not be able to afford to heat or light their homes, so they will not be using as much energy!!!

if it was cheap or even free, then you'd probably think they're telling the truth.

but it's not cheap or free. so it's all just yet another load of bull.

No they wouldn't, the UK's mines were the safest in the world visited regularly by HM Inspector of Mines.
