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.

Granny's boy.

What have you got that you are frightened to lose or share?

Interesting little article as a comparison of 1940s/

C+P


In September 1939, the ideological affinity between the USA and Britain was unquestionable, yet large swathes of the US public, media and politicians were deeply isolationist. With hindsight, many people resented America’s involvement in the First World War. The desire to ‘avoid foreign entanglements’ and focus on domestic issues was widespread.

When war broke out in Europe, US President Franklin Roosevelt recognised that the conflict threatened US security, and looked for ways to help the European democracies without direct involvement in the war. This necessity increased in June 1940, when the Fall of France left Britain as the only democracy standing between Nazi Germany and America. In 1939, the Fourth Neutrality Act authorised the US to trade arms with belligerents provided that the countries paid in cash and collected them. In March 1941, Roosevelt moved further towards making the US the ‘arsenal of democracy’ with the Lend-Lease Act, which permitted the lending, leasing, selling, or bartering of arms, ammunition and food to “any country whose defence the President deems vital to the defence of the US.”


Look at the similarities.

If USA hadn't come to the rescue of Britain and Europe in 1941, against the advice of many advisors England may have become a minor state of Germany.

America accepted its responsibility.

So should Europe now do similar, rather than practising amoral ducking and weaving?

Absolute rubbish from the threads idiot fred...I don't know if its just me, but everytime i hear about how the WHOLE WORLD came to the aid of Britain and save them in their hour of need.....

LETS GET THINGS STRAIGHT SHALL WE...IT WAS A SELF PRESERVATION INTERVENTION BY ALL THOSE WHO WANTED TO DEFEND THE FREE WORLD.

IF IT WERN'T FOR A JOINT CAMPAIGN THEN THE COUNTRIES THAT DIDN'T JOIN THE FIGHT FOR THE FREE WORLD AND HITLER HAD SUCCEEDED THEN HE WOULD'VE TURNED HIS ATTENTION ONTO THEM..

OK guys.....

Q. Whose shares do you have to buy to make an investment in 'spray-on-solar paint'?

Random polarity of millions of tiny Photo Voltaic cell chips would be a catastrophe.
Spray paint doesn't sound very conducive to alignment of the polarity of the tiny PV chips. What's needed is a fabric or lattice of nano PV material which can be laid down (oriented) and then bonded down with a spray paint and makes the PV particles behave.

If this fabric is 'clear' then every window can be made into a DC generator. Connect them all together and then into the Grid. Job done! And it's 'Bye Bye' Saudi Arabia, etc.

Granny's boy,

Are you shouting?


Check the history of that period.

Re-read the C+P.

United States non-interventionism 1930s, 1940s





Non-interventionism, the diplomatic policy whereby a nation seeks to avoid alliances with other nations in order to avoid being drawn into wars not related to direct territorial self-defense, has had a long history of popularity in the government and among the people of the United States at various periods in time.

Many would think similar to beliefs and attitudes to the present day little englanders.

What a first class idiot you are Fred ,we don't want an invasion (and yes it is an invasion)of our country , end of .

Instead of Wind Turbines and solar panels or any other 'green' energy..

What should happen is close energy consuming organisations like those in Brussels, who every other week transfer themselves and their entourage to Strasburg to conduct their bureaucratic dictatorship in luxury.

And name and shame all these 'green' lobiest who spout the mantra "Do as I say not as I do" as when they take private jets to their destinations..

fred YOU really do need to read what even YOU C&P....You moron..

And also to the generosity of the US..It's only recently that the UK has
finished paying off the war debt to America in the fight for a free world.....LMAO!

Post 70471-----Eh! Fred you are confused.

DOCTORS
there's no doubt that neither side in this dispute has covered itself with glory

jeremy hunt has has been unbelievably inept, though quite what his real agenda is i do not know
bma, as far as i can see, also has little interest in negotiating a settlement - eg it sets preconditions before any discussion

this whole dispute has degenerated into one regarding MONEY, which i think is entirely the wrong focus

there can be no dispute that nhs has a truly astronomical budget, so .......
is this money being wisely spent?
i suspect that far too much is spent on non-productive management and filling in paperwork to avoid any chance of litigation should something go awry

there can also be no dispute that (a) we really should have a 7-day service and (b) there just aren't enough doctors, or indeed other medical staff, to do this efficiently and effectively

it therefore seems to me that the whole discussion between this gov't and indeed its predecessors and the assorted medical bodies, should be about encouraging doctors and other staff to stay on after qualification ....... and that really isn't or shouldn't be just about "how much will you pay" and "whose taxes should we raise to this"

It takes time to build an extension and when it's built you want to be able to choose who comes to stay.

Take those against any immigration and the clan open door/everyone is good, give each group their own island, let common sense reign in the rest of the UK.

Child refugees - parent shenanigans aside:

How do we treat orphans born in the UK? Do we currently have the people and facilities to give the refugee children a good home? If not, how long will it take? Where will they be placed in the short term? And so on. Or, don't bother about that and get stuck into a points scoring game of Think Of The Children - the loser to be declared an uncaring, murderous bastard and required to grow a Chaplin moustache.

Merkel; has blood on her hands.

"mentor (and his other aliases) is just a plain nasty piece of work who specialises in personal and racist abuse
quite why the management continues to tolerate him, i really do not know"

Bit like your mob on here then Alf.
=================
What's up Stan ,you can dish it out but not take it , just like Fred if people don't agree with you two then they are plainly wrong , have you not thought that just about everybody on here thinks that the both of you talk crap. Hope that helps.

Pot & Kettle alert!

And you seem to be both.

You of all people on here are in no position to comment on others.

very steptoe and son :-)

Very Hinge and Bracket .

Very Alf Garnet.

pot+kettle = rag and bone men = steptoe and son

Granny's Boy.

There are more ways of giving than just opening your pockets.

USA military deaths in WW2 was over 407,300.

More than the UK.

The USA gave those lives up.

Many think they should have stayed out of Europe's (at the time's war). (They were supplying arms and ships to Britain before the Pacific War blew up.)

I thought you believed money was God.

Doctors want to sell their labour to the best price.

Why not?
