But it's perfectly fine to poo or pee in one.
There's probably other offences regarding disposal of radioactive waste.

The definition of controlled waste for the purposes of the regulations is "any substance which the holder discards" with some exclusions for e.g. facial matter and radioactive waste.
So it's an offence to pour rainwater down a drain.

5%, so they need 32. But that's an or, if a candidate gets 2 affiliate nominations they dont need any CLPs.
That's a ridiculously low threshold. If a candidate can't get 32 CLPs then it's a waste of paper putting them on a ballot.

I'm not sure Thatcher herself would ever have been introduced to Hayakism had it not been for Barber crashing the Keynesian/Butskellist car.

Surely the end of the postwar consensus runs from the Nixon shock and the end of Bretton Woods.
Were it not for the Barber boom crippling the 1970s UK economy then Thatcherism would never have existed.

It sends the message that there's a spare few £bn down the back of the sofa for political wiggle room.
And that these difficult decisions aren't essential.

I think the WFA u-turn did a lot of damage. If you're going to expect MPs back you on difficult decisions then don't u-turn on them after the damage has been done.

The difference with this mutiny is that 49 MPs rebelled after they'd already won.
If the key parts of the bill hadn't been pulled they'd be more than 100 rebels.

A relatively small proportion of hiroshima victims died from radiation poisoning. Most of those could have been avoided if they'd known not to drink rainwater.
If you've exceeded LD50 via beta burns it would be very painful indeed.

Of course that makes it even more scary. Not because of the risk of fallout etc. But the inevitable rioting & looting that would follow the state itself imploding.
Very little confidence people would keep calm and carry on.

The thing about nuclear war is that most of us would survive a large exchange. Most nuclear warheads aren't much bigger than hiroshima, not Castle Bravo yield.

When they've got the Manchester United approach to replacing managers, at some point it must occur that the leader is only a small part of a very big problem.

Presume there's a licence under the Dangerous and Wild Animals act 1976. More concerned if a safe method of work under Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 as there clearly isn't sufficient guarding around that lion.

That's just over 10% of the electorate in those wards, which can very well be plucked from the thin air that is non-voters - especially in local elections.
