I think we are both on the sane page here, but my point is that events in the past cast a long shadow

Zlatan, going back to AD61, might be a bit excessive, but people do live a long time. Mr own father was a child before the WW1 started,and could theoretically have been in Croke Park for that Bloody Sunday massacre. The Scottish settlers in New York state suffered ethnic cleansing from the...

We still have forced sterilisation in Europe today. It may be less obvious and more subtle, but preventing the disabled from having full lives, ,by segregation of the mentally retarded is essentially that policy.

I think many of us living today fail to realise how privileged we actually are. Up to the start of the 20th century , the people..by which was meant poor people were viewed as sheep to be led by their betters. The US to its credit did at first promise fairness to the huddled masses ..mind...

Although the scale of the deaths was much much smaller a somewhat similar event took place in Dublin in 1920. This in Irish mythology is the first Bloody Sunday. The event occured during the war of independence between the forces of the crown and the then IRA..later called the Old IRA. On...

Well said... "I also know I don't want to take any notice of a dishonest person who is a trouble maker at war with society." .. Fair play flecc.. .

The fan boy references to this multiple named individual is getting tiresome. The last section on your post is pure direct fascist propaganda listing victimhood... Refer back to the U Eco .. unnamed individuals in a named organisation doing unspecified actions against ones group.

No. No. . Firstly Junkers is coming to the end of his term so it will not be him. Even Farage is bound by the normal rules of etiquette,or his microphone gets switched off ,the same would be the case for this multivariate individual,to whom you appear to have an attachment.

No... That is not what was said. The UK has 73 seats reflecting a population of 60 millions. If 15 of them are useless windbags, they will get listened, to, they will have their votes, but they will not be influencers of opinion . MEPs are no different than other public representatives...

Yes,.. but we should not accept it. Even repeating it gives it a credibility it does not deserve.

There is something odd about soccer supporters, how they behave,and how the authorities respond. The same does not occur,as far as I can see in any other code. The violence outside the Oval , Twickenham, or Wimbledon,is order of magnitude less. Our Croke Park in Dublin,home of GAA ,a much more...

.. that spiel is like the song sung by the thug in West Side Story. I think its caller Officer Kronkie... People will listen when one have something worth saying. If one has nothing worth saying and is not prepared to develop their competence, then they should just stay stum. The world does not...

Don't flatter yourselves... The UKs posturings are an annoyance, no more no less. The only bother is that they will be acquiring pension rights ,which the UK will be required to pay off over the next 30 to 40 years

I fully agree with the overall aim of your remarks. What I found somewhat disturbing in VFRs information about websites which are impossible to monitor is just how valuable a tool for lying, character assassination, propaganda, terror attacks they provide. Natural Justice demands that anyone...

The following article from the Express echos an opinion I voiced some time ago. If linked with the comments by Mr Kawczynski, it shows a path ahead. The Irish Govn. Has no problem with the mainland UK excluding itself from the "Backstop " . It has a major problem with the NI 6 county sub...

Yes it IS a privilege to vote. The price of that privilege is the duty of care you and I and others each owe,to ensure that we are a well informed as possible.

Back on thread again, I found the attached enlightening ,even if it was a very long time in coming. Could I also recommend Ms Hermon MP as a person worth listening to in respect of NI. ?. It is possible to be conservative without being a bigot. .... The following taken from the BBC...

Despite all the VPNs, and promises of anonymity, I cannot believe that the machine which initiates a message and then gets reception of that message, cannot be traced and identified. The message headers has to include the return address,and however encrypted, the decryption key has to be...

It is also conflict of interest, and threatening behaviour, if substantiated, the father in question should be put on compassionate leave, and perhaps seconded to another department. One could sympathise with him,on a personal level, but when it interferes with the conduct of their official...

We would have called them noticeboxes in primary school,and they don't change. What distinguishes Mr Farage, is that he is a witty orator,with a more pleasant voice than most
