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.

hi IT ..... i just get cheesed off with some of the rabid nonsense that gets posted on here by certain quasi black-shirt elements

I can't see what Assad had to gain by using chemical weapons. The target was hardly strategic. I suspect the Russians are right and the gas was stored in the area and accidently detonated.
That being said, the bombing of his own people, particularly barrel bombing, cannot be excused and the destruction of Syrian cities makes for horrific viewing. That alone is sufficient justification for taking out his bomber force. If the people are behind him, as he claims, then he should be able to muster enough troops for more conventional warfare, as now seen in Mosul.

Good points.

and muslim immigration, should be around a generation if the islamisation
of the west carries on at the present rate of influx..

i never forget that right-wing nationalism lurks barely beneath the surface, and in france, it's even worse

Actually i was under the impression that cynic was of the jewish faith,
but i've come to believe he's from the 'religion of peace'.

And its plainly obvious he prefers the 'FAR left ant-fascist, FASCIST'....


VIVA Le'Pen!!!

BREAKING NEWS

Several reported killed in Stockholm lorry attack

A lorry has driven into a crowd in a busy shopping street in central Stockholm, with local press reporting that three people have been killed. The incident took place on a pedestrianised street outside a department store in the Swedish capital, according to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. Swedish police said they had received a call about a vehicle injuring people in Norrmalm in central Stockholm.

Yes apparently it was carried out by mickey mouse on behalf of the
'mouse freedom party'....Or something similar, because the islamied
Swedes won't want to accuse the followers of the religion of peace..

Just in case it upsets them you understand..

I'm thinking I've lived my life on earth during the era when mankind really f****d up the planet....

eg.

Two thirds of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has been severely affected by two consecutive years of mass bleaching, according to new aerial surveys.

Bleaching is caused by abnormal environmental conditions, such as heightened sea temperatures, which causes coral to drive out the algae known as zooxanthallae that gives them colour, leaving the coral bleached and looking white.

Last year mass bleaching left 35 per cent of the northern and central parts of the coral either dead or dying. It is possible for coral that has been bleached to recover if the algae can recolonize it, but it can take years and requires the water temperature to drop. This year’s bleaching marks the fourth time the Great Barrier Reef has experienced severe bleaching since 1998, and the second mass bleaching that has happened in the space of 12 months.

Sweden to end open borders to all and sundry.....TO LATE SWEDEN, YOU'RE FECKED!!

The G7 group of nations has failed to reach agreement over threatening new sanctions against Russia and Syria.
Foreign ministers were seeking a common position on the Syrian conflict, before the US secretary of state flies to Russia to try to persuade it to abandon its Syrian ally.
The nations agreed there was no solution to the Syria crisis with President Assad in power.
But UK proposals to target sanctions at senior military leaders were sidelined.
The diplomacy in the Italian town of Lucca follows the latest apparent use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Syria has denied it carried out a chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun last week that left 89 people dead.

Who to blame? or who done it? Not me they say.....

Putin Demands UN Investigate Chemical Weapons Incident In Syria
Tue, 11th Apr 2017 16:43

MOSCOW (Alliance News) - Moscow will request the United Nations to conduct an investigation into last week's chemical weapons incident in Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday.

Putin described the incident as a rebel provocation and said Russia has intelligence that such acts have been planned in other parts of Syria, including the capital Damascus, according to comments carried by state media. Russia is the main military backer of Syria's ruling regime, a long-time ally.

US forces last week conducted a missile strike on a Syrian military base that Washington alleged was responsible for a recent chemical weapons attack in which dozens of civilians were killed. Putin said the US missile strike was reminiscent of the 2003 attack on Iraq, which led to the rise of the terrorist group Islamic State.

Turkey, a staunch supporter of the Syrian opposition, said the nerve gas sarin was used in Syria's Idlib province in the attack last week.

Tests of blood and urine samples of victims of the attack revealed traces of sopropyl methyl phosphonic acid, the metabolite of sarin, Turkish Health Minister Recep Akdag said in comments carried by Turkish state media.

More than two dozen victims of the attack were brought to Turkey for treatment, and three died in a Turkish hospital. Ground samples were also brought across the border from Idlib for testing. Autopsy results were sent last week to The Hague for further testing by the United Nations.

Russia and Iran, another military backer of the Syrian government, on Monday jointly condemned the US strike and called for an objective investigation into the chemical weapons incident.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Moscow on Tuesday for a two-day visit to include talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Tillerson, at a G7 meeting in Italy earlier in the day, said Russia faced a choice between working with the international community or continuing to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Tillerson accused Moscow of failing on its responsibility to stop the use of chemical weapons by the Damascus regime.

Deeming it "unclear" whether Russia had been "incompetent" or complicit, the US chief diplomat, a former oil executive, said: "But this distinction doesn't much matter to the dead. We can't let this happen again."

The US has supported some rebel groups seeking to overthrow Syria's ruling regime, but has agreed with Russia on the need to eradicate terrorist groups, particularly Islamic State.

Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement ahead of Tillerson's visit that US-Russian relations are "experiencing their most complicated period since the end of the Cold War." The Foreign Ministry threatened retaliatory measures against the US if there is a lack of progress on resolving accumulated problems between the two great powers.

the trouble is that both sides of this very nasty equation are as bad as each other

of course in mid 19th century russia, britain and in those days france all got very "busy" in persia and that area for a number of reasons, but related to trade routes and similar of all sorts

at the very beginning of 20th century, oil was discovered in persia and then the fun began with france getting slightly sidelined, and russia making a nuisance of itself
in the mid 20's oil was discovered in iraq and about 10 years later in saudi

by this time, britain, france and usa had carved up the m/e between themselves, with promises made to the arabs and the shah of iran (no longer persia) ...... in due course, the powers in iran, iraq and saudi concluded they were being screwed and new deals were struck - with even more massive bribes attaching

It's all working out well for Ma Merkel..

So much for these demographic experts eh!!..Why didn't they see a decline in
western countries indigenous populations a generation ago, and instead of
encouraging the nucleous western family of 1.5 children?.

Was all this, what we are now told is vital immigration from third world countries, planned all along?.

Its not to late to change tact and start encouraging the indigenous populations
to start having more then 1.5 children..
