That's not the future, they fix it. You surely don't believe all that stuff about the machines randomly deciding the numbers? It's all balls. .

See above, if you want to know the future, watch my posts. For example, back in 2019 I said Boris Johnson could require the Queen to prorogue parliament, shutting it down to get him out of his fix at the time. I was told by almost everyone in here that I was talking nonsense, until Johnson...

Only 24 hours ago I warned that Prince Andrew's legal troubles could result in the Queen being implicated. LINK Within that brief time we now see hasty moves to disengage him from the family by removing his titles and ranks, casting him adrift as a private citizen. You see it's not just the...

You are just arguing in circles, with irrelevancies. The government didnt have to, nor will it have to nationalise any rail company. Failed pension funds are commonplace with none of the organisations involved nationalised. They are left to sink. The huge investment announcement by Javid...

Then why did Shapps say they wouldn't necessarily be the last? Which doesn't alter the facts of what happened, not just to rail but the announcement of a huge expansion program for growth, Corbyn's policy. You are beginning to sound like Boris with all the squirming to avoid the obvious truth...

They are 26" wheels on many Kalkhoffs, not 25". The assist speed and pedalling speed are not altered by the wheel size. The sprockets are chosen to give the same performance for both, regardless of 26" or 28" wheels. There are tiny differences in rolling resistance and turn speed, but so...

If course nobody ever wants to take on the responsibility of rail. But that doesn't alter the fact that it was Boris Johnson's Autumn 2019 policy to do so where necessary. Let me remind you once more of Grant Shapps words after announcing the nationalisation of Northern Rail: " - - -and they...

Now you are just being awkward for the sake of it. Javid announced the program without precisely detailing it, just as Corbyn did. The detail follows as implemented, but of course Covid plus his sacking stopped investment for growth dead in its tracks. Some reminders of my posts over the last...

Your memory is truly shocking. Upon election Boris Johnson appointed Sajid Javid as Chancellor, who that Autumn 2019 promptly announced a large investment program to boost the economy, Corbyn's principal policy. Then the transport minister he appointed, Grant Shapps, created a shock when he...

Of course his apology was a sham. Of course he shared drinks with his staff. Of course he behaves reprehensibly. Of course he denies breaking rules. That is who he is, who he has always been, and who the public in full knowledge voted for to lead the country. They are so stupid they'll...

But he is running the country, that is just the sort of person the electorate chose. Serves them right. See this post .

I remember how universal the hypocrisy was. The all too often two faced complaining about a politician who should have been expected to behave the way he has just makes that worse. What on earth did the electorate expect when they voted in Boris Johnson? See this link .

I've previously posted the same more than once, it is a witch hunt. I'm going even further in saying he shouldn't resign and the complaints should stop. He was selected to be lead by people who knew full well that he was a liar with a long history of incompetence. Then the whole country...

Trouble is with the one law for everyone is the can of worms it opens: Boris Johnson is at the head so the buck stops with him so he must go. But If Prince Andrew is found guilty inthe USA or if he pays off his accuser, thus effectively admitting guilt, the Queen will have to go by the same...

True. Snag is that the tens of thousands are matched by many hundreds of thousands who broke the rules thoughout all of 2020. The crowds who overwhelmed Bournemouth Beach to such an extent that the coucil had to close all access. The hundreds who tried to drive to Wales for holidays when that...

Not exactly the same of course, there are genetic reasons why that is impossible. But where lies are concerned we could all be as bad. When we first learn to speak it's the first skill we all foolishly assume we have. Such parental questions as "Did you eat those sweets? or "Did you break...

We are all human. That means we can't be trusted with too much privilege since it's in all of our natures to take advantage of tolerance, real or perceived. All the criticism of the abuses is from those who haven't had the opportunities to behave the same way, so have not been tempted...

I agree that as a general rule, governments are the last bodies who should run anything. But there are some things that should be run by them for the public good since the private sector does as least as badly and often much worse in terms of costs and inefficiency. Rail is the first and...

Yes they have, yet another sign of an inevitable trend. I can see the word broadcasting becoming obsolete or diverted to another meaning. A huge amount of my viewing is also time shifted. There's the use of the TV players like i-player. I also record for viewing when convenient. Then there's...

No, this is confusing the issue with things that can be over used and even resold/exported etc. The public good of free access to the web is overwhelming in a vast multiplicity of ways, while incurring little cost from abuse. That certainly isn't true of free access to food and petrol, since...
