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.

Corbyn does a U turn on shoot to kill policy, Fred must have missed this as he always points out U turns

Is he learning to play to the audience .

vote may

George,

You read too much fiction.

I am surprised Dumbo and Vicky can read and write.

Their problem seemingly, is understanding what they read and hear.

rather an aside ......
according to IG election betting, tories are recovering a little lost ground

i didn't hear TM yesterday, but beloved says she spoke very well indeed ..... she sure needs to get something right in this campaign!

You're a repetitive boring old bluffer full of your own self importance who with his refusal to vote tells me can't hack backing the wrong party , giving you license to moan groan and refer back to periods in past times that are now irrelevant to the modern world , anti English anti anyone with common sense I see you as a cowardly person who slips up and gives us a taste of a true knob .

So was that not Corbyn I saw and heard this morning saying that the police must use whatever force is necessary to keep the public safe?

Of course this flies in the face of what he really thinks, but there are votes to be had on Thursday.

As for reading too much fiction, you are absolutely correct, so in order to put that right I will read fewer of your posts.

Nice one GEORGE .

Cynic

Why it didn't work in N I , was because their were not isolated from their peers .

And if that was the case with Islamic terrorist , they would be doing what they have done in UK prisons, that is to radicalise other prisoners.

Vicky darling, what are you harking back to?

It seems to many it is the days of the Raj.

If you want to resolve problems refer back to what generated the problem.

Fred's grandchildren must be very proud of him.

Goobbledegoo .

fred - that depends how far you wish to regress ...... using your line, you should go back to catherine the great (mid 18th century) or even earlier

"blame" in this particular scenario, is not relevant and of course is frightfully easy to apportion or attribute decades or even centuries after the event, though only the light of today
at the time decisions were made, in all sorts of aspects, not only were the times different, but so was the reasoning as coloured by those times

If being against the implementation of sharia law, or the stoning of adulterers,
or the death of apostates, or the rape and abuse of white children, or the throwing
gays out of six floor windows, or the beheading of British service personnel on the
streets of the UK, or the blowing up, running over, stabbing to death of civilians,
makes me an intolerant islamophobe then i'm guilty as charged....

Has anyone signed a letter condemning their action? They need a stiff one through their letter box.

Ha Ha Ha. :-)

Have you all seen this?

Manuel.

I am not attributing "blame" to events in "history", as events have to be understood and judged against the "morality" and background of the various "periods".

But events of the past are often blamed and the driving force for ongoing present day problems.

That is what needs to be understood and come to terms with.

hi 121 t 65 a vw 98 tn see you s /d

fred - it is primarily YOU who blames events of the (distant) past for what is happening now ...... perhaps it is YOU who needs to come to terms with it - as with brexit even!

===============

on a slightly different tack, i get seriously cross with these primarily black activists who want to blame britain for slavery in 18th century and to have this or that ripped down or renamed or other such bunkum

shame they don't check out their own history as they'ld find - as many of us know - that slavery was going on in massive numbers for centuries before then, with the active participation of the assorted african tribes from which no doubt their own ancestors came

andrew carnegie is hailed as the great philanthropist in scotland
a quick peek at his business activities and ethics would more than tarnish that view
