when he was selected to replace TM (a bad PM after Cameron, another bad PM), nobody could have guessed he will be the worst PM ever.

What do you think of this? BJ is rumoured to unveil plan B for Christmas.

I am not surprised. On the video, she was clearly not very good at making up alternative truths. I wonder why she applied for the post in the first place.

the list is endless, may be but BJ's list alone is longer that others added together, to the point that nobody can be sure when he told us the truth about anything anymore.

it does not matter if you voted for the conservative party or not, you don't deserve to be lied to.

carbon footprint of wind turbines is improving all the time as we have more and more taller units. 3/4 of its carbon footprint is from the pylon steel, the rest is split into fibre glass, cast iron, aluminium, copper. It is currently estimated at 11g of CO2 per kWH of electricity produced based...

When something goes wrong, it's the usual names Raab, Williamson and Boris. Johnson should resign.

I fear that covid has become an industry and a cash cow for so many businesses, from PCR test manufacturers to stock traders. As soon as the breaking news Pfizer 'COVID-19: Antibodies from Pfizer vaccine may be up to 40 times less effective against Omicron, first lab tests suggest', IAG, RR...

The explanation is statistics. The vast majority of new mutated variants are defective and dead ends for the virus. But every once in a while, a virus strikes lucky by mutating in a way that helps it survive and reproduce. A few that do survive thus do not kill their host and reproduce faster...

You have not got it right. 7 countries took part in the 1954 Geneva Conference which agreed on the partition of Vietnam along the 17th parallel. France was pulling out and took no part in the new administrations, North and South. Not only Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia also became independent. The...

since when? you misinterpreted my question. I don't see everything France does as admirable or for altruistic reasons because it's my country. I only posted about them when the context and reasons behind these things were missing or misunderstood. For example, the scallop war, when French...

I really don't want to start a long thread on the Vietnam war. Before 1945, Vietnam was divided into 3 regions with different administrations. French ruled the South (Cochinchina) as a colony, the North (Tonkin) as a protectorate nominally under control of the Vietnamese King in the middle...

since when?

I have a pretty good knowledge of this particular period of history. If I could say honestly, your understanding of this part of world is superficial. There is a book written by Graham Greene on this period, The Quiet American, it was pretty close to describing the role of the USA in kicking the...

You've got your facts wrong again. The Japanese occupation of Vietnam did not happen or was rather a non-event. France did not pull out of Indochina, the 1940 agreement allowed some 6,000 Japanese troops to station there, that number later was increased to 40,000. That was all. The Japanese...

you should do a fact check on your version of events. the Geneva 1954 Conference formed the basis of settlements in French Indochina. The South Vietnam government were since totally under American control because France did not have the money to compete with the USA for influence in its former...

I don't get you. Labour gave Tories an alibi? Tories are doing what tories wanted, what had Labour got to do with it?

Any UK PM would have found it hard not to follow Bush into the war in Iraq. Blair happened to be in that chair when the music stopped. He should have told us that fact of life, he gave us the dodgy dossier instead. Still, he could not have continued with Brown pressurising him to hand over and...

and you expect me to believe that?
