It is sometimes missed that at least some Nazi prowess was deliberately undermined from inside.

Which rather illustrates the point about tanks. The eastern Praktika was accessible - I'm sure they sold vast numbers. Leica too expensive for the majority of us.

I was actually hinting at replacing the existing standards investigations by one more suited to the gaffer.

Threw the moneylenders out of the temple? Well, maybe he just wanted to get rid of the current unsatisfactory moneylenders and install his own...

Where did you find any impartial and unbiased sources? Afraid that even if the authors try hard to acheive that, it is probably impossible to reach.

Yet the more we look, the more we see medicines which have not been properly trialled. (And how they actually work is often not understood.) I haven't looked for a while, but not that far back, no-one could explain how paracetamol works. Nor have proper trials ever shown that the most widely...

Which means that the Nazis did make lots of mistakes, and did numerous stupid things, even if only because they followed their leaders.

The Nazis did have jet fighters. But it seems that they pushed towards using derivatives as bombers - unsuccessfully.

The scale of the USSR's own tank production almost defied belief. That they moved their factories - out of range of Germany - then built huge numbers. Also, one problem the Germans made for themselves was sheer quality. The German tanks were so much more sophisticated and beautifully finished...

I see that Johnson is absolutely set on digging the largest hole in Europe: Johnson will not declare Spanish holiday in MPs’ register, says No 10 Decision means he does not have to detail value of gift relating to stay at Goldsmith family villa

Has anyone checked availability in Florida? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/nov/05/uk-supplies-of-fake-tan-threatened-by-shortage-of-key-ingredient

Read a vox pop type of report and the constituents didn't appear to have any sympathy for him. It is a big majority to overturn - but let us hope Labour do so. If tory central office parachute a suitably high profile candidate and drop enough cabinet ministers in, that should seal it for...

We appear to have some of the best educated cabinet members ever. PhDs in double-speak all round. The education secretary, Nadhim Zahawi, has accepted the government committed errors in its attempt to save the former minister Owen Paterson from suspension, but denied the debacle called into...

Molnupiravir has 48 carbon atoms and is C, H, O and N. Ivermectin has 13 and is just C, H and O. They are very different structures.

The Nazis managed to make some almost unbelievably stupid mistakes. To consider them as some sort of superman/ubermenschen intelligence and planning ability is to credit them with more than is right.

The issue about his wife is significant. But there are many who would not have paraded it as appears to have happened. He had every opportunity to go quietly. Which suggests that right up until today he could not see what was so questionable about his behaviour. Even now, did he go because he...

I was being specific about the UK. We need clarity of language - double-vaccinated in inappropriate wording if there is a one-shot vaccine, for example. (Something we are unlikely to get from the government.)

What will Kathryn Stone OBE make of this? Boris Johnson has admitted receiving a free holiday at a luxurious Spanish villa linked to Zac Goldsmith, the former MP who was given a peerage and job by the prime minister. The latest update to the register of ministerial interests revealed that...

Wonder when they will re-define that to need a booster? (Not commenting on the process, etc., but if boosters as so important, regarding people without boosters as fully vaccinated would appear folly.)

Too bloody late:
