  1. Politicisation of the Courts. Bad move.
  2. Why do you say Trumpian when Biden has been President for nearly four years? Has Biden been that insignificant?
  3. You've triggered me now, Gunny. Wasn't there a club a while back whose fans were accused by an opposition director of chanting 'black' when they were actually singing 'fat'? People are gonna see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear.
  4. And save Starmer at the same time.
  5. Lol. UFOs were a thing before Elon was born so that might provide a time frame but we might be in the general area with Musky, who knows?
  6. You are not wrong with what you say but I really do wonder if PR will make a significant difference to the democratic system. I offer two pieces of evidence. Firstly, can we provide examples of countries with PR systems that run significantly better than our system in terms of competence, accountability and corruption, to name just 3 factors?? And are there countries using a PR system that are just as bad or worse than us at governing? Secondly, I think you are quite right in pointing out the infighting within parties is a big distraction from the process of governing and a PR system allows the extremes to peel away and form their own parties without losing the chance of being in power. This has to be a good thing in theory. In practice however, those smaller parties will still join a government coalition and the infighting will still continue albeit as a separate party in a coalition and not a wing of a major party. Won't we end up pretty much where we are now?
  7. Who benefits from the existence of UFOs? Answer that correctly and you will know what they are and where they come from.
  8. Pretty much agree with you Daz, but what on earth triggered the museum to make these nutty comments in the first place ?
  9. I think the source of this story is the Fitzwilliam Museum. The Telegraph on whom you have fixed your sights are merely the messenger
  10. Your knowledge of history is sorely lacking. 2.3 million African people were not kidnapped by white Britons. None were. The Africans were firstly enslaved by their fellow Africans and then SOLD to slave traders who then transported them to the American colonies and the Caribbean. As a result, we might expect that call for reparations by be equally aimed at those African tribes engaged in selling slaves to the traders. As it turns out there is a deafening silence on the subject. One only hopes this play might tell the full truth about slavery. Somehow, I suspect it will serve up the sort of nonsense narrative that Horsefly believes in.
  11. The threats are religious more than political.
  12. Jewish children in London are going to school without their school uniforms on. They are having to change into school uniform once they arrive because it is too dangerous for them to wear the uniform of their Jewish schools on the street. Not just Angela Rayner's children are targeted. Nothing to do with the Budget nor the Conservative party.
  13. Yours is the best answer. However, I'm going for Churchill, saved the world from fascism. Followed closely by Thatcher, saved Europe from communism.
