To think we are being lined up for something?

Because there is no misogyny in the other partys

Not so niche as 51% of the population are women

Being able to accurately define over half the electorate and therefore the issues they face is not really a “niche issue” it’s reflective of a misogynistic attitude rife in the Labour Party where women’s views and subservient to men’s.

Four legs good, two legs even better

Niche issue that. Don’t let the microscopic trans population be the reason the tories get yet more opportunities to screw us all over

I was one of these eejits 😳

Can he ‘honestly’ tell me what the definition of a Woman is?

She was having a laugh.
Honestly, the best thing you can do is turn off the news and go out and enjoy life.

I might sound stupid, but one lady mentioned her husband working somewhere and he asked her about window covering, can it be related with sun? Covering windows, staying indoors, etc?

What kind of person attacks Education for votes. Someone who hates intellect, aspiration and wants to turn Britian into 3rd world dump.

Best laugh I've had a for along time - ta muchly ! There should be a medieval sub forum where we can cosplay !

"Do you have diffculty swimming "
"How many cats do you have"
"Will I find true love before I die ?"
"How the fuck can you drink mugwort"

Sure, I read it here: https://www.independent.co.uk/space/solar-storm-space-weather-northern-lights-b2550072.html

Could it be aliens are coming..? Rule nothing out

😂

Followed by an AMA -

"I'm a witch" - (Long term poster NC cos husband's hobby is outing but Penis Beaker Cancel the Cheque etc)

In Medieval Mumsnet I suspect we would be talking about how to identify witches and cures for palsy. Whilst having a AIBU about outing a weird neighbour who was caught talking to themselves in the woods.

Sitting at home wasting energy by being outraged that the government should already have provided people with water and a torch beforehand if they thought something would happen.

Interesting, at present to get the definitive info on the effect the plasma will have it has to interact with the onboard sensors (magnetometers etc) so I’d be interested to see what is proposed, because they can’t park the thing on the Sun…🤔Can I be lazy and please ask for a suitable link (and I’ll stop derailing the thread).

Exactly. I'd rather be at home sipping at my ( possibly out of date by then) bottled water than having to dig a hole in the lawn for a poo when the water supply has gone off again.

On balance being paranoid its just Tory spin and reality that water has been lost three times in five years, I will take my chances of looking paranoid with food for a week and 12l of water under the stairs. I think the 6 pack of water was under £3 in lidl. £3 I'm willing to loose if its used to water my plants when it expires.

And I've had six vaccinations and not had covid at all, nor has my similar number vaccinated exDH, nor my late DF, who lived in a complex at a care home where lots of people had it.

I think that previous poster is best ignored.

Yes, bonkers. When the post you reply to included "Everyone is entitled to their opinion" it is dishonest. It implies that you are being unreasonable for not accepting her making things up as as valid as reality.
If I wrote she was a paedophile, it would not be OK just because I wrote "Everyone is entitled to their opinion".
Yet, somehow she is allowed to imply that the doctors and nurses in ICU and all the scientists are mass murdering criminals, but that is OK?

It's probably not anything in particular, it's just less strain on services if people are more prepared.

The satellite is designed to extend that 90 mins warning you mention to three or four days.

At present we have about 20 minutes warning before one hits. The UK is developing a satellite to watch the sun and give us a few days to prepare in future.

We already get about three days warning that the Sun has chucked out a load of gas/plasma (Coronal Mass Ejections) that might perhaps affect the Earth….that’s been the case for years.

We then have to wait for the gas/plasma to approach the Earth..if it does do so then we already get about 90 minutes (exact time depends) warning of pretty much exactly what’s on the way and how much effect it’s likely to have on systems on earth due to spacecraft such as SOHO and ACE which have been in position between the Sun and Earth for several years.

If there really has been a change in HMG policy I doubt it has anything to do with space weather.

Well the warning system would allow people to get home while the electric is still on, and the extra food and water would allow them stay there for a while.

Until that's in place, people need to be sensible and just head home as normal, maybe drive extra carefully. It's not like a bomb is going to drop - you'll just be bored at home off grid for a few days.

Even if this happens to be about the election, it is still just common sense though. Like it has been in other countries for a long time. It’s to prevent panic if something like cyber attacks happens.
