    It was horrible to watch. You make sensible suggestions in your post, I just think breed bans are the sort of knee jerk reactions that politicians love because it looks decisive and isn’t a difficult decision. Unlikely to achieve anything in the long run, the mastiff in this video isn’t even the breed that is getting banned.

    The issue needs to be investigated, understood and properly addressed.

    I’m not going to get into the dangerous dog breed debate. In my view it isn’t a coincidence that there were lots of warnings about the mass breeding and purchase of puppies during covid leading to a lack of socialisation and neglect, and what we are seeing 2 years on.

    The dog ownership landscape changed during covid, quicker than any regulation could keep up.





  • You will need long term storage in both cases. Nuclear can’t act as a peaker because you can’t quickly ramp up or down the generation. Nuclear can only perform as baseload which, in theory, could be provided by a renewable energy mix if the install base is high enough.

    I don’t disagree with your point that it isn’t a simple direct comparison but any sensible energy mix will still require storage. I find it difficult to see the economic case for nuclear if renewables can be installed in sufficient quantities, given that nuclear is roughly 4 times as expensive as solar and wind.
