Just as I posted yesterday that this would happen. It really doesn't matter what we do anyway. The long history of Russian people's suffering and their harsh environment has made them into a people who not only thrive upon hardship, they positively expect and enjoy it. Temperature down at...

Fully agree, he's posted a further 65 links in this thread in separate posts since your above timely protest. Worse still he keeps posting long runs of the links into other threads as well, spoiling the threads for everyone else, doing it yesterday in another thread with a run of 20 link...

Something strange going on. Recently the hill outside has been quite clear of cars with most being back at work. However, since Monday it's been packed as it was when everyone was off work at home, and today on a trip to the supermarket and back there's long queues of local traffic of the sort...

Just like I am, and all the other three-quarters of a million e-car drivers in the UK are who don't have fires in our e-cars. Utter nonsense. You've clearly shown your hatred of e-cars though the bigotry of your posts, raking up every possible objection to them. A few of your objections do...

Me too, but as ever it's horses for courses. Their last 1000 years of history has left it only possible to rule Russia through authoritarian strength, helped by their Orthodox faith. For them it was a choice, the laxity of the America's choice, the drunken Yeltsin; or the forceful Putin who...

That's people with a sense of proportion. Not people like you with such an obsession with lithium fires that you willfully distort by posting irrelevancies such as all Tesla accidents, regardless of whether fire was involved. Plus inferences like this with no proof whatsover: "the actual...

Nothing like that, it was a very smart move to lay claim to the two oblasts of Donbass. He'd already successfully secured the Crimea to Russia by democratic means to ensure the Russian southern fleet's security. Now he needs to ensure it further by protecting the Crimea from Ukraine taking it...

No use being logical, we are speaking of governments. They'll do what they always do, take no action other than continuing to complain about Russian behaviour. It's the fairytale approach, "We'll huff and we'll puff 'til we blow your house down". .

I wasn't speaking of masks, I'm still wearing them where advisable. .

That might depend on royalty continuing, I'm not confident it will. The institution has been increasing prone to shaky moments harming their popularity. From the abdication of Edward VIII and the inspid George VI on the throne. The mentally strange Princess Margaret. The doomed marriage...

They are desperate to get her alive to 100 years old. Her mother made it to 104, Prince Philip almost got there with intensive medical care, being only a few months short of 100 when he expired. Great for the tourism industry if the Queen makes the magic figure, uniquely the royal family who...

I'm not disagreeing at all, but it took two to make the problem, neither of them anywhere good enough to partake in the management of the country. My reply was strongly disagreeing with Oyster about the suitability of the Trade Union leaders to be sharing the running of the country with...

The electorate didn't elect them and there was nothing tame about them. The trade unions became one of the greatest evils this country has ever faced following WW2. With never ending streams of often totally unjustified strikes they brought some of our key industries to closure and this...

Ultimately it's more about influence than money and the unions in 10 Downing Street in the '70s was just as bad an abuse. We didn't elect them or the wealthy. .

In fairness this is the Tory equivalent of Callaghan letting the unions into number 10 to run the country in the 1970s. They're all as bad. .

I don't think there is the slightest chance of the West getting militarily involved in a war over the Ukraine. They know Ukraine has long been a lost cause which is why they did nothing about Russia's acquisition of the Crimea. That their all important Southern fleet is based there in the...

Indeed it does. I was very disappointed that the ex Warsaw pact countries were deliberately pursued by the EU with US backing to become EU members and NATO members. It would have been so much better for them to have formed their own trading and defence bloc with financial assistance to do that...

They all make me sick. Bliden, Macron, Johnson, all interfering in what is Russia's own business in its own backyard and saying Russia has no right to act there in its security interests. It was a very different story from the USA when Russia tried to put missiles into Cuba, an independent...

No they aren't for any normal pedelec. The 250LPM class mentioned above is actually part of the L1e-A 1000 watt moped class which the DVLA have made a GB only concession for in this lower powered 250 watt form. In fact fully acting throttles have never actually been approved in law on...

If they did of course. As little as under 1 in 1000 Covid deaths reported have been of people with no underlying serious conditions. Overwhelmingly Covid deaths are of those with serious underlying conditions, often coupled with old age, itself a serious underlying condition. But we take the...
