Never mind, you’ve missed the point. Section 1 isn’t law, and may never become law. And I’ve explained above how to get around the issue of Parliament passing a resolution and government ignoring it. It nominates someone else to deliver it. Government has to take positive action to bring section 1 into effect. If it’s told not to do you really think it would?

Whatever playground names you want to call me today, your confirmation above that she was a famous scientist remains pure hyperbole. 5 hours ago, manxman1980 said: What contribution did Thatcher ever make to science? You see W2, if you post facts then people will concede the point or agree with you, it's that simple. Very probably. I wonder what Thatcher would make of Brexit? probably the most famous person on the list...... she meets the criteria...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomonkey Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The BoE are looking for someone who has contributed to science. It takes a long stretch of the imagination to say that Margaret Thatcher is the person on the list who is either the most famous scientist or has made the most significant scientific contribution. Yes, she is famous, but not for scientific contribution. I’ll admit that I do not recognise most of the names on that list but looking through it I’d go for Charles Babbage, Edmund Davy or Heinz Siegfried Wolff.

mojomonkey Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Just now, woody2 said: she made the list so qualifies...... Do you honestly feel that she is the most famous scientist on that list or that she is the person on that list who has made the greatest scientific contribution? She is definitely famous but that fame is not for scientific reasons, ask the average man on the street what her job was and they’ll say politician. If the BoE were looking at putting a famous politician or someone who had made the greatest political contribution I would say Thatcher had a chance. 6 minutes ago, woody2 said: i didn't know heinz wolff had gone- top bloke.......RIP He died last December.

But the operative section is not in force, and may never come into force. It needs an Appointed Day Order. Without that it sits on the shelf getting dusty, and has no effect in law, can’t be enforced by the courts, anywhere, and the 1972 Act isn’t repealed. You’d be surprised how much zombie legislation there is. Passed but never brought into effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freggyragh Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Yeah. He met one genius who could tell him all the ins and outs of how loads of gear works. Sadly, it was all just #Woodyscience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
