Is the panel horrified or relieved that Jeremy Corbyn has said that he would never press the nuclear button if he was PM?
Are those responsible for the car emission test also at fault for not picking up that there must have been a much higher proportion of VW Group diesel cars passing the emission test when compared with other manufacturers?
If VW Group engineers felt it was necessary to put in defeat devices to meet emission standards, does that indicate that the emission test was far too rigorous for even the world's top car engineers to meet? Even they could not possibly reach the target that was required!
Should not the expenditure and effort go towards minimising harmful emissions as quickly as possible? VW already make some of the cleanest cars.
What is the point of Real Driving Emissions testing, that is so vital for Patrick McLoughlin, if vehicle manufacturers cannot meet the standard? Does it not already happen? In fact, more of it should be taking place on the road to clean up or remove the most polluting vehicles.
"I am pushing hard for a joined up re-testing programme across Europe." Patrick McLoughlin, letter to Louise Ellman MP, 9 October 2015 But not pushing hard to reduce the cocktail of poisonous gases that all petrol and diesel vehicles spew out.

Should our 0.7% of GDP overseas aid budget be used to build a prison in Jamaica to facilitate British born Jamaican prisoners repatriated to Jamaica?
QUESTION for BBC Radio Scotland's The Big Debate on Friday 2 October, at Wigtown Book Festival (that I am attending in the ten days)
and, copied to my heavily war reliant MP, James Morris (Halesowen and Rowley Regis)
When we are told this week that it is going to be years before Islamic State is defeated (if ever), is it not immoral, illegal and pointless to drone kill Syrians and Iraqis that we think, we hope, are members of Islamic State?
It continues our 101 year foreign policy of every single year ('Guardian' 4 page spread of evidence on 12 Feb 2014) attacking other countries to protect our vital strategic interests in so many countries around the world, who have not declared war on us.
