I understand your question is rhetorical but as I mentioned in a previous post, it's the British way although really, it's the tory way. it's what the rich, land-owning monarchists do in the name of the people. That they do is simply a huge lie as any such military interventions are not about...

The only way tories know how to impose their warped dogma on others is by creating fear in the population through the creation of a bogey-man. Whether that be the Icelandic fishing fleet over fishing rights, the Argentinian government over the Falklands, The Egyptians over Suez, or the Spanish...

Yet, the 'Brexidiots' deny they are racist! Every single economic argument for leaving the EU has been torn to shreds by people expert in the field of economics; every piece of propaganda concerning the redistribution of money once we stop paying our EU subs has been demolished; The world...

Absolutely Flecc! In the case of London, there are millions of foreign-born, adopted Britons, many with children and grandchildren born here. The vast, vast majority are hard-working tax-payers, contributing towards the treasury rather than diminishing the wealth of the nation. That's why...

Trex, I think that is an excellent point, particularly with regard to the self-appointed world policeman, the USA. Merkel is certainly no idiot and the German nation has done far more than their fair share of resettling refugees in recent times. Of course, not all Germans are over the moon...

Complimentary.......as in free? :D Free, or heavily discounted, is always good but I suspect you mean complementary in the sense that they might enhance or emphasise the qualities of each other? I've never used the 'Bad Spelling' thingy before so I just thought I'd be pedantic and try it even...

That's a very accurate synopsis of our position at the moment and for the foreseeable future. In my view, it is absolutely certain that if Britain does not pull back from the brink, the EU will launch the 'killer blow' to our 'Brexit' eutopia.....perhaps that should really be distopia! It has...

If you check facts, I'm pretty sure that it was me who used the term, 'Brexidiots' to describe those who voted to divorce Britain from the EU, not 'oldgroaner'. Moreover, as you choose to make statements about opinions and entitlement to them, I will agree that you are entitled to your own...

'Simpletons are easily brainwashed by slick propagandists and there was none better than Joseph Goebbels who explained it like this: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can...

Great sayings are springing to my mind readily this evening and this one suddenly found a use: “Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.” Tom

That fits nicely with the words of this man: “The point is, there is no feasible excuse for what we are, for what we have made of ourselves. We have chosen to put profits before people, money before morality, dividends before decency, fanaticism before fairness, and our own trivial comforts...

You just did! Tom

OG, it's clear then that, in terms of our canine friends, we don't exactly meet any kind of thoroughbred criteria. We're a mongrel race! Of course, most other nations are similar in that regard, the main difference being that most others don't consider themselves superior to everyone else. Tom

History is, we are informed, always written by the victors. That means, inevitably, that it is most likely slanted in a particular way. With that in mind, it should not be overlooked that were it not for the Russians and Americans, we would probably all be speaking German today. Today, it...

The worryingly low level of intellect displayed by the 'Brexit' proponents both nationally and right here in this forum is all the indictment needed to confirm the extreme racist attitude which permeates throughout that loosely connected, fascist grouping headed up by the sham political movement...

You are not a disgusting racist though and treat people as you find them. Tom

The hypocrisy of the tory scum knows no bounds, it seems. Not long ago, HM Government was not prepared to concede any ground on the Argentinian claim for possession of the Malvinas. Suddenly, we are shaking hands with their senior politicians discussing the very matters that repeatedly ended...

Looks like two and a half K of hype over substance to me but if you really crave Bionx power, why not? Tom

Thanks Wicky for that input. It's difficult to get a handle on what may have happened but my first thought is that the cyclist could not have been riding in a leisurely manner otherwise he would probably have managed to avoid the collision. It is unlikely that any pedestrian in central London...

The Xion DD motor on my Kalkhoff PC is pretty much noiseless and the little Tongxin motor on my Cannondale is more or less silent too. Equally, I have ridden Dutch bikes with the Ion-Drive system, (DD) and couldn't discern any significant noise from those either. My early Panasonic motor in a...
