Re: Israel declares state of war
Protesting normally involves groups of people marching, chanting and carrying banners. Not individuals walking in the street. Unless you count just looking Jewish as being in itself a protest. Turning up with a camera crew and security? I’d take that as being provocative at the very least and it ha...

He maybe a twat, I don't know him. But I support the right of people to peacefully protest and for people to walk in the street. Protesters are kept apart by police all the time.

Re: Israel declares state of war
Can you come up with a choice of words that would both give the honest reason for not allowing Mr. Falter to cross the march and yet not leave oneself open to an accusation of anti-semitism? Perhaps a very simple "Oi, dont be a plum" was what was required? His freedom of movement in London makes hi...

Re: Israel declares state of war

Pretty poor move trying to do that to someone and using the term "being Jewish", the police will rightly be questioned as to what on earth they were thinking.

Crazy odds for a team that's won one game all season away from home in Perth where we struggled historically. Almost tempted to put $5 on the Force at that value, but just can't bring myself to bet against my team.

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
The other one with rooftop solar is that the efficiencies just dont work. You dont get the ideal tilt angle, you are typically building it where people live, not where the best solar resource is, and the O&M component is not the same meaning soiling losses are higher. As such, LCOE is significantly ...
