This is a good program that will help fund raising while providing an excellent service to patrons too.

All good intentions and plans relating to law enforcement would need funds. Considerable funds. Unpaid volunteers or underpaid interns would run the risk of being exposed to the natural tendency to make money some other way. Not a good idea.

So where is this $1.8 billion going to come from? Is this a re-allocation of existing budgets under this new heading or is this new money?

A good proposal, but only if it is really implemented properly and not just superficially. And the question of resources needed to effect such a change would be a sore point too given the dire financial situation at present.

Neither you nor I may intend it as such, but I have seen many a thread ruined by trolls despite the best of intentions. I do agree with you that the economic policies of this government will play a large role in slowing (or accelerating) this "brain drain" described in the OP.

Do we know of the complete number and types of aircraft being sent to participate?

As if we needed another reminder that we are surely led by fools. That is why I said that pompously ignorant statements such as this ill-advised conversion plan aside, it will take a LOT to use Thar coal beneficially, wherewithal that is simply beyond us at the moment.

The relentless pursuit of national interests. Nothing more.

I think he stands a bright chance at being appointed Advisor to the PM for National Energy Policy. The car of course is a success. It was still running on the original liter of water at last report. (NOT!)

A story from a time when men of honor behaved with honor: WW1 soldier released from German prison camp to see his dying mother by the Kaiser on the promise that he returned to his cell... and he did | Mail Online
