Office like a rainy-faced puddle of glum today. Little productivity. People suddenly looking up from the news source of their choice and pronouncing the latest apocalyptic miserablism with shakes of the head. Nobody enforcing any work, really. Spoke to our London office earlier - the same.

You're (both) quite right. I knocked the missus out for mis-informing me, strike back for us liberals!

Or perhaps an elected UK government that has been enthusiastically shutting them down well ahead of such targets (which they themselves have supported)?

I think we can both agree that we desperately need a government that has a sensible energy policy.

frankly it would be a novelty to have a government that has any sensible policies

several orders cancelled or on hold, most of the work we were hoping to have confirmed for July.
Our equipment is mostly priced in Euros and we sell to customers in GBP, so our costs and prices are going to have to go up if the exchange rate continues to drop - on top of prices already increasing by around 10% since december due to the referendum uncertainty.
Fuck knows what the immediate future's going to be, but it feels like other people are now playing high stakes poker with our livelihoods.

no.
They could add pollution scrubbers and stay open, some chose to do this, others saw the writing on the wall and didn't. But some that did fit the scrubbers have now closed down anyway because of a unilateral stealth carbon tax that osbourne imposed on generators, plus the impact of renewables on the wholesale price.

I think we can(*). However, that would need a sensible government first.
* Actually, I'll have to disagree. It's probably too late.
It's actually worked out ok for me today so far after the obvious initial shock at learning that the country i loved was actually 50% bigoted thick cunts. It's convinced my other half, at last, after months of failing on my part to convince her, that it's time to get the hell out.. silver linings and all. Gonna rent a house in India for a bit and hide from this nonsense then try to get work in any country but this one.

....quite a striking - if predictable - discrepancy in the office today ....
...on the one hand a moaning group of professionally qualified middle class senior managers - including a particularly vociferous Australian colleague's extended contemptuous rants about the stupidity of the 52% inhabiting parts of the country he had no idea even existed - been here 10 years and afaik has never willingly travelled outside the M25 except back to Aus and weekend destinations like Barcelona - and almost relishing the prospect of the punishment-redundancies to be inflicted on the recalcitrant plebs
...and on the other 4 PA's & Legal Secretaries - all women, roughly middle-aged and all brexit voters quietly in the corner of the office at 9 o'clock this morning having a little group hug...

dazed disbelief in work today.
it didn't even get to 'what the fuck have you/they done?', its just utter shock, almost numbness. where i am, our world has fallen apart, and we can see nothing but bad things coming.
we have things it would be very difficult to just move away from - an elderly parent who needs 'looking in on', a child who is getting support at School that she'd be astonishingly lucky to get elsewhere (mrs is a SENCO at another school, so knows whats about..), but we're probably going to start seriously thinking about moving out of England and Wales - not particularly for economic reasons, but because we just don't want to live in a place with such poisonous politics. maybe this is a one off, perhaps it is a cry for help thats far more about economic and social poverty than it is about vitriolic, nasty xenophobia and racism, but i'm afraid thats not what it feels like...
