Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I don't understand. I've just been on the phone to my local auction house offering my unmade bed but they were very rude. Why don't they want to sell it for me? It looks just like that Emin one!

Kim,

Your bed doesn't have the same history or provenance.

Be careful though, if you buy Tracy's bed and she goes to court it may be worth less than nothing.

(Sorry valued and less than nothing.)

‘Every state has right to be different’: Top 10 takeaways from Putin's foreign policy speech

A German's View on Islam - worth reading. This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist.

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II and owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'

‘We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is a religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

‘The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

‘The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

‘The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery? Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving?'

‘History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

‘Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.’

‘Now Islamic prayers have been introduced in Toronto and other public schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa, too, while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to it being so offensive?). The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.

‘In Australia, and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them. Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars and at other food items in your local supermarket. Food on aircraft have the halal emblem just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding within the nation's shores.

‘In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of "no-go" zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuse to acknowledge British law.

‘As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts - the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without considering sharing it with others, may be contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand.

Let us hope that thousands world-wide read this, think about it - and share it - before it's too late, and we are silenced as well.

The same can be said of Judaism in Israel.

It ain't Judaism, but the Israeli leaders who get into "power" and misuse and misdirect the "fanatics".

The same can be said of Farrage, some UKIP and other far right groups using the "ideology" of the "right wing" to stir up hatred of smaller sections of the public.

But of course that isn't happening, or is it!

PS>

This is tolerant Britain!

Britain is alright as long as you don't rock the boat and disturb the ruling class and their neat, corrupt way of living ; don't think that this is a "free" country (I'm not sure if that is the right term to use), because it isn't !, the above applies to regardless as who or whom is at number ten....if you step out of line : they have various means of causing you a lot of trouble...

Cameron absolutely USELESS at PMqs as ever not answering questions.

The NHS is in a SHAMBLES and all he can do is qoute FIDDLED figures.

Cameron is brilliant at PMQs today. Miliband had to switch to the NHS today as their are now so many topics such as the economy, that he dare not bring up. The Conservatives are riding high due to Cameron standing up to the EU. The public also like his stand on the Juncker election.

time to wipe out hamas scum

gold are you ok well and happy

Hamas are just resisting having their land stolen. The Israeli occupation is the same as the Nazis occupying France and the resistance process is the same as well. Israeli action just as bad as the Nazis. Hamas has denied kidnapping the three Israeli settlers. Israel has decided that they suspect two Palestinians. Without due process or evidence they have blown up the houses of the families of the two. Illegally occupying Palestine and stealing land for illegal settlers causes bad sentiment and violence. At some stage this is all going to blow up in Israel's face.

Welcome back TANKER good to have a another lefty back.

gold I am not a lefty I am a right winger very right at that but honest and like the truth . hamas are terrorists voted in by clowns and scum who want war and do not want to work for a living just beggars

Hays your talking silly again, if Camoron for once just showed a little humiliation and spoke the truth on statistics instead of staying in a state of denial he'd probably have a poll lead , but the truth is he and his fellow torry far right wingers wouldnt know what the truth is if they were slapped in the face with a wet fish.

The mans built an economy based on Arthur Daley/Fred Carno policies and tactics.

Even Carney is now looking very weak.

House prices in London moving up at 12% per annum.........a very dangerous situation.

NO NO NO TANKER your a lefty in diguise but dont realise it. Its a very fine line.

Good to have you back for certain. Manuel will be cringing.

hay is just a simple dimwit but you have to allow for a simpleton Palestine is full of them scum , will watch the crap he posts if he feels so strong about it then go and fight or hide under the table its easy to post crap about fighting for freedom and hide till the fighting is over then shout we have done the job of freeing our country .

And Christine Carson will be crying into his beer.

man is a person with no county

No I dont think Hays is a simpleton, just a bloke who is in constant denial.

A bit like the Stockholme Syndrome
