I'll run through in case I've missed something.

Er, which taxes will the Witton Park Party be raising to fund this?
You asked again #8, and again #15. 3 times.

That's the only question you have asked and I answered and you could see I answered by your "oh borrowing" reply in #8.

So just to be clear, no taxes will be raised to cover the cost of the 8 SMRs that I propose signing up to.

Now to the cheap insults and slurs.

By beginning with "Er" don't you see that as being a touch sarcy? That's your opening comment.

Post #8
I can't wait to hear your party's immigration policy

That was a bit leftfield Marco - you can hardly say that isn't sarcastic when you include a "Roll Eyes (sarcastic)" emoji now and what exactly are you inferring here?

So I answered, you just don't seem to like my answer. You are also the one that introduced a sarciness to the discussion.

and you seem to think my "creative accounting" comment was an insult.

"The optimistic estimate in February 2021 was for £1.8 billion per SMR"

You linked to the article. You popped in the word "optimistic"
and then
"and the fact that large info structure projects seem to end up eventually costing 3 x what was originally said"

to present a figure of £6Billion per SMR as factual when it is far from that.

It is an assumption you have come to, that I disagree with. I reckon if the UK Government signed up to 8 now, they would get them for about £18-20b.
I might be wrong, but I think that's a darn sight closer than £48b.

So I will take Mr Stein at face value, who's opinion was set out in the article you linked to, and work on the basis that the SMR project is going well and "third-party equity is coming in, believing in the approach, believing in the design"

I'm sorry if you found my comments insulting.
