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.

Eating horses eh? just like today then in some places.

Stalingrad 1942-43

"A massive German strategic bombing on 23 August caused a firestorm, killing thousands and turning Stalingrad into a vast landscape of rubble and burnt ruins. Ninety percent of the living space in the Voroshilovskiy area was destroyed. Between 23 and 26 August, Soviet reports indicate 955 people were killed and another 1,181 wounded as a result of the bombing.[3]:p.73 Casualties of 40,000 were greatly exaggerated,[6]:p.188–189 and after 25 August, the Soviets did not record any civilian and military casualties as a result of air raids.[Note 4]"

What % of the 350,000 (mainly civilians) is an acceptable proportion to kill in order to say the UK took part?

I don't suppose killing a few foreigners counts.


I would suggest some may listen to John Simpson report on BBC 1 news tonight and reconsidered.

Suggest that J. Corbyn's views are more in the real world than Cameron.

Listen to the lying which is going on about preparedness for WAR and the AFTERMATHS and costs.

Whose feet are going to be on the ground?

Can we see what Cameron and lackeys are proposing, the plans and costs and guess work to actual results.

Also, with so many are leaving the forces and all the spitfires mothballed what weapons are being prepared.

I am not saying that we should not be involved militarily in Syria or assisting with others in Syria, but let us see what Cameron with his strutting is leading the sheep into.

He is a bloody menace.

Some good news re the NHS (I think) posted up by BigT20 across the road:



NHS to get a £3.8Bn cash increase next financial year (start 6th April 2016):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-34905801


And they have already had:
... '£1.8bn extra ministers gave the NHS this year'


and they may save £1Bn over three years by having a cap on agency costs

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-34877794

--> I believe central government may have finally relaxed the stupid rules on blocking
the appointment of qualified nurse from non EU countries.

action in syria etc
i haven't read it yet, but it's almost certainly worth reading
despite its perceived bias, the guardian often has very good, interesting and balanced articles

Interesting article:

But Manuel needs a rest after his last post:

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/24/autumn-statement-revulsion-sink-osborne-cameron-savage-cuts-deficit

Quite right even if Farage had gone on the street like that he would have protesters , but not a soul does anything , disgraceful where were the Police .

wake up fred!
it's no news that i regularly read at least some of the articles in the guardian ..... mind you, i do get it as freeby on line every morning :-)

And the men preaching hatred in the street , if i started a row with them the police would jump on me for causing trouble ..
What has happened to the UK ? we are finished where is the spirit from the second world war .
It will get much worse soon in Europe and the UK ,the leaders are all raving bonkers and Merkel should be put in jail ..

This is why we are in this position too much tolerance of these people from the start , most probably get housed and benefits , if they hate us so much why don't they feck orf .
