They don't have to be Muslims or Buddists, these are lifestyle options if they prefer to get hurt. Once again, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". And thus enjoy the Roman life. .

No, you read and try to understand what I'm posting, then think in more depth with a truly open mind instead of your accustomed very closed one. That might mean standing in Chinese shoes at times. That is not defending or supporting what China does, it's simply accepting a reality which we...

Wherever we find ourselves in the world we should live accordingly, that's as old as the bible dictum "When in Rome, live as the Romans do". We live in a democracy which permits me to participate in debate on political matters, so I do. But if i was living in somewhere like the former East...

No it is not naive, it's reality. I'm fully aware of the human rights situation in China but also aware of how so many of those suffering are doing that by choice through not accepting the reality of the state's policies. Accept what the state says and obey their laws and they can live...

No it's neither. It's accepting the responsibility for what we did and by taking the blame, expressing regret. This is an entirely decent thing to do and sets an example to others which we can have pride in. All nations do and have done wrong to their peoples, but very often the people...

Shooting Brake, yes. More often Station Wagon in the USA. .

And still have in some instances, most Morgan cars have wooden framed bodies, entirely constructed in Ash. Information Link And Morris Minor Traveller estate cars had wooden framed rear bodies in relatively recent times:

It is entirely relevant, as Gladstone rightly said "a war more calculated in its progress to cover this country with permanent disgrace," And let me remind you that by our recent disgusting food processing practices we brought the entirely new disease of BSE to the world, one so horrifying...

It's called justice and is only what we deserve for the despicable way in which we turned outselves into the largest drug dealers in history, using force to make China buy and use opium against it's own laws. That led to what the Chinese to this day call the "Century of humiliation". The opium...

My friends who've separately had the jabs were both told they should wait 15 minutes, but timing that wait period was left to them, though an area specifically for that was provided. Seems like your staffs weren't following the guidance in not telling you 15 minutes.. .

Some aspects of racism are definitely involved in Covid death rates. Members may remember the high death rates on London's bus drivers at the start of the epidemic with most being black. Hardly surprising when the proportion of the drivers being black is so high. Why so high is due in large...

This is why there is a 15 minute wait after receiving the vaccine injection before being released to go home, in case of a sudden adverse reaction. The purpose of that wait is debatable though. Do they have an antidote to administer to save one's life, or is it to control and contain the news...

I've had that whitish scaled tongue many times in my adult life so I wouldn't link it with Covid. More likely to be a minor internal upset, though the last time I remember it was when I had a severe allergic reaction to clarithromycin in early Autumn 2019. .

Yes, I just heard that on the News here. We'll probably follow suit but for the present the government are dealing with air travel. A pity they didn't do more of that back in March and April. .

There certainly seems to be some very big differences between this vast urban/suburban area and elsewhere much further away. It's on record in this thread that I posted a number of times about the widespread non compliance here and usually got responses from outlying parts about how compliant...

I find that difficult to believe since it's the complete reverse of the truth here, almost everything above is the opposite in the main South London and North Surrey supermarkets I've been to throughout. In the first lockdown not one had a one way system and definitely no one person rule. The...

It's largely a population problem. As a young adult in the late 1950s I was 5' 7" weighing 10 stones and was average. Now people have grown so much vertically, laterally and in weight that they can't fit in yesterday's cars that were only 5' wide. So over the years cars have steadily...

These mentions now don't make any sense, since the first lockdown didn't have the same rules. For example there was no compulsory mask wearing, that introduced only quite recently so there is little comparison. The only rules that sometimes seemed to be strictly enforced in the first lockdown...

More likely just a simple mistake. You may not have noticed that our government is quite good at those. .

Oh dear, still not going to solve the overpopulation and housing crises in the UK. When I was born I joined 46 million others in the UK. Now there's 67 million. .
