General Discussion Area / Re: Rwanda.... Again!

« on: 18 January 2024, 09:47:29 »

The UN has objected to the UK plan to send " refugees" to Rwanda, and say it breaks International law (is there actually such a thing ?)
The UN sends " refugees" to Rwanda.
The UK accepts "refugees" from Rwanda.
What a strange world we live in.

Im convinced the Tory Government have never intended to do anything about levels of immigration, legal or illegal.
They want to appear to be trying to do something to try and con those who are stupid enough to vote for them.
Businesses have become addicted to the model of cheap labour provided by Blair, and the globalist agenda requires the customary idea of nations (and all that goes with that) to be eroded until eradicated.

Omega General Help / Re: Spare Number/Size of 2.6 V6 Cam Cover O-Rings&Breather O-Rings⁶

I wonder if leaving the small pipe to the breather box disconnected would have much effect on anything ?
Also, what arrangement does the V6 Vectra have, bearing in mind its metal cam covers. A different one presumably or blown crank seals would be a common issue ?

49 years this summer for me - officially. I had more or less left several months before, but parents didnt realise until they got a letter threatening court action.

True. Hopefully a slightly milder day coming up soon.

When the prosecutions really kicked off Sir Ed Davey was Minister for postal services. Alan Bates wrote to him several times but Davey refused to meet him and just replied parroting the Post Office line.
He now says the Post office lied to him. Thats no excuse. When he was informed of problems, it was his job to ensure a proper investigation into it to get to the truth. That was why he was paid his ministerial salary.
In 2017, the Post office hired a big firm of lawyers ( HSF) to deal with the "criminal" postmasters.
Soon after, HSF hired Sir Ed Davey as an adviser on £15000 a month. Dont need to join many dots to work out what they hired him for.
If he can find a shred of decency somewhere within himself, he should retire from public life and give up his knighthood.

Starmer isnt blameless in this either. When he was DPP his department took over some of the post office prosecutions including the case of Seema Misra.
She was sent to prison, and she says the only reason she didnt kill herself was that she was pregnant at the time.

Im no great lover of the Tories, but credit where its due. Tory MP James (now Lord) Abuthnot, heard about the case. He took it on, got his teeth into it and didnt give up until some kind of justice was in sight.
As an aside. Several senior civil servants were on the board of the Post office (on £40k pa each) while all this was happening.

One criticism of the ITV programme is that it left out any mention of Alan Crozier. He took over at the top of the Post office after Vennels left.
After that he became head of ITV and its studios, who made the programme. I read that he still holds shares in ITV.
He is now head of BT.

Imo quite a few senior people from Post office, Fujitsu, and probably politics should be put behind bars over this.
Innocent people took their own lives. Many people had their lives destroyed or severely damaged.
Probably wont happen though.

I have just had another look at this. Cant find anything to move to the hot position from the current cold.
Worse though, near the centre of the pics above there is some black / grey foam visible. This is wet and there is a smell of coolant.
I imagine its either one of the two pipes leaking or the matrix ?
If so, Im not sure this could cause heat on n/s and no heat on o/s. $:-\$
