U.K. Wave and Tidal power off the starting blocks - hooray! Will we have this new tech all to ourselves?

We Answered:

The UK has a big advantage in that Pentland Firth is "the Saudi Arabia of tidal power".

Hopefully the UK will make the most of this opportunity. There seems to be support in the country for pursuing alternative energy technologies such as this. And it's just plain cool.

It's currently doing quite well (roughly half the per capita CO2 emissions as the USA), but the UK does need to continue reducing its emissions as well, and this is one way to do it.

So given all those factors, I think it's safe to be cautiously optimistic that the UK will continue to remain in the lead on wave and tidal power technology.

Will political moves prevent religious charities getting funding if they don't accept workers they don't want?

We Answered:

I want to pick up on the Scottish elements here. I believe that English councils refuse to fund projects that promote one faith, thus discriminating in favor of multi-cultural-religiosity. They are saying it's wrong to promote one faith - is this a 'divide and rule' tactic? Westminster, however, gives religious bodies exemptions when recruiting staff, which is fair. But in Scotland it's different. The SE has given millions of pounds to ProjectScotland, a non-religious charity that places young volunteers in some 130 Scottish charities. Yet to qualify for help, charities are forced to agree to accept a volunteer candidate of PS's choosing. So the SE is financially backing a non-religious body's authority over (some) religious charities as to who they must use as volunteers. We are not talking paid employment! We are not talking publicly funded bodies such as the Police force, whose wages are paid for by tax-payers. These religious charities pay their own wages. Yet this is all about volunteers! Why? Is this the thin end of the wedge, with the goal being to force non- or anti-religious staff on religious charities, under the guise of 'discrimination' but really to promote multi-faith political goals? Discrimination can work both ways, as Scottish history shows. The Disruption of 1843 came about due to politicians forcing the Church of Scotland to employ clergy, most of whom were irreligious and/or political pawns. Incidentally, its greatest charity worker (Thomas Chalmers) joined the breakaway movement. He is one of the founders of modern sociology.

Religious charities mainly do voluntary social work which saves councils millions of pounds. They pay their own staff and most do not discriminate, yet they do (reasonably) expect staff and volunteers to have a positive attitude to the faith-element upon which the charity is based. Laws already exist to deal with bogus groups just out to take advantage of tax perks and grants. They do exist but any government effort to force everyone to use staff (paid or unpaid) according to its criteria should ring warning bells to those concerned about democracy.

Leah Said:

Do you think the Greek system of voting in elections whereby you vote where you were born, is a good idea?

We Answered:

If your Greek and don't or can't trust the election officials, whilst the folks from your neck of the woods recognise you due to the close locality ties, then it helps keep the system straighter.

We're lucky, ours isn't bent from the grass roots - only corrupt from the top!
