    Not so, they are far more vulnerable at any age comparison level, black people four times more. Link .

    Thanks Dave, good to know LSDs are getting a classic car showing, they've been largely ignored in the recent 4WD trend. And of course the e-car trend to having twin motors looks like bringing to an end any mechanical 4WDs in cars and light vans etc., possibly LSDs too. I can sympathise on the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Floyds name being forgotten will no more matter than our not knowing the names of all our slaves. The professor is wrong, just as the Zionists are wrong with their nagging "Lest we forget" mantra. We never forget. We still witter on about Cleopatra, the Roman empire, their invasion and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Perhaps an Irish view, but certainly very untrue in England. The rebellion against our so called betters in religion, politics and conventional views was well under way during the 18th century and flourished in the 19th. Remember we had to invent a police force in consequence. But as...

    Inmmaterial. Punishing them severely will only provoke more extreme behaviour. In any case if it got promoted to a jury trial they'd probably be acquitted. .

    They won't get any real punishment, nor should they. The defence is provocation, which is most certainly what that statue was. The guilty tribal mob are those emanating from Eton, Harrow and Roedean, who over centuries and still have supported such as Colston and delighted in making their...

    This goes much deeper, it's a long term problem rather than than way anyone dealt with Covid-19 much later. Long before Covid from 2013 to 2017, South Korea increased its hospital beds per thousand people from 10.92 to 12.7. In the same period the UK DECREASED its from 2.78 to 2.54. One...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I disagree, the bad behaviour is that of our ruling classes. When they show such a lack of sensitivity as to leave such statues in place, the people need to educate them in a way that finally shocks them into better practices. Not to do so is the very compliance I've just been mentioning...

    No, nothing to do with us, we are not Egyptians. It's for them to do that toppling if ever they gain a social conscience. Edward Colston was a Briton so removing the statue celebrating his disgusting life was for us to do. .

    It did to a degree, but there's plenty of evidence that they didn't build the pyramids. However, the Egyptian peasants who did build them, just like our own peasants in the middle ages, were effectively slaves, controlled by their leaders aided by religion and the compliance of the peasants...

    . It's simple. When we thought we wouldn't have enough hospitals we converted exhibition centres into Nightingale hospitals which haven't been needed. Now we need more school space to keep the kids separated, convert the Nightingale hospitals into extension schools. .

    As a supplier to most of them over many years I can assure you they were often hardly great builders. In fact the first one only builds queues serving beefburgers and fries. Wimpey threw together some 20th century estates. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No they weren't. There is a consensus among Egyptologists that the Great Pyramids were not built by slaves. Rather, it was peasants who built the pyramids during flooding, when they could not work in their lands. In fact the builders included craftsmen who were very proud of their work and...

    Only what you can get from your Mum. In fact until very recently the Chinese were almost entirely lactose intolerant since milk and milk products were historically never a part of their diet. In recent decades their increasing interaction with the west has given them a taste for some milk...

    Agreed those two material ones exist, but they are far from being the only ones or even the worst ones. The victims, real or imagined, can do at least some things about those, change of hairstyle, additional education or effort with it, change of attire. The worst racism issue of all is the...

    Hub gears v derailleur

    Not quite, I've plenty of experience with your problem. Running a Giant Lafree which had the low powered Panasonic motor, I swapped its three speed Nexus hub gear for an SRAM 5 speed one. But the SRAM P5 is the slowest changing hub gear ever designed especially when changing down for climbing...

    Agreed but that is not a race issue, it's as true of white British ones and long has been. .

    Apparently not, the lives of the oldest car ones have been surprising many, including the makers. Don't forget many commute and charge daily with their e-cars so they have numerous cycles already. The secret is that their cells are low density and most are rarely emptied and never used...

    Utter nonsense, how do I see it so clearly then when I never visit any social media ever? Of course a minority of black people take advantage with false accusations of racism, just as some in disadvantaged white society make accusations of bias against the police. In both cases it's...

    Now we have left the EU, Nissan have made it clear they are prepared to jump the entire Europe and UK ship in the way that General Motors and Honda have already done and Toyota will do within three years. This is almost certainly a non starter here in the UK. It's not about being a generator...
