Was this interview prior or post event? And then it would matter who she claimed to have had agreement with. It strikes me as unlikely that fox news would have made that error in their narrative. It would have suited them to claim she had been victimised. Anyway I do not possess a string vest.

Fleec these are your opinions based on a very recent cultural phenomenon in western Europe thinking I am saying recent, .. look at 1930 era films with the femme fatale wearing a veil . I recall my own mother going to dinner dances , horse race meetings and similar wearing hats containing veils...

.... Beliefs cannot and must not be imposed agreed. Modes of behaviour and external displays can be. Insisting that your Muslim guests eat the smoked ham starter and that you hug their wives when they visit your house is crass and deliberately offensive. Insisting that your japenese friends...

Tom you are not reading the full posting, and assuming that I am advocating repressive measures. In my opinion one of the strongest motivators for behaviour is peer approval or respect. If you live in a society where no-one has been in paid employment for years, then it becomes very difficult to...

...... And in respect of your royalty, I recall a tasteful image of a princess Diana wearing a small mantilla when meeting a Pope. In the interests of decency, a mantilla is a small headdress not a dress.

..... And had she chosen to go nude? My reading of this was that the meeting did not in fact take place. No offence took place ,. honour or at least face was upheld by both sides. If I were to invite you to my place, we would have agreed a protocol in advance.. typically to include no string...

... Never have consumed illicit substances .. I'm not sure which answer to give so I will give both. ... Comes from a variety of social reformers who in the late 19 and 20th centuries had a notion that a nation of well fed , somewhat educated youth might be of more value to a society than a...

Actually I do agree with this sentiment. The question then revolves about at what level you set the pain \ benefit threshold. There are some people who for medical reasons cannot work, they need to be protected , and in a humane society , cherished. There are some people who have done their...

..... The purpose of my post was basically to allow others to amplify what was a very positive endorsement of EU policy.

...Of course you do. And remove all that bogus child safety legislation and secondary school time and you will create a larger pool of young willing labour , just the right size to go up chimneys , down mines , thin turnips etc

Hang on a moment. All EU citizens are free to move throughout the EU It is one of the four freedoms. Many EU citizens follow their loved ones to other countries without a job offer. Many local type jobs do not advertise internationally, and people migrate with the reasonable expectation that...

"High levels of employment in countries such as Romania and Bulgaria are also squeezing the supply of workers."...…. Hi KTM, that is a very interesting statement which if true validates the existence of the EU. These countries were basketcases a decade ago. What evidence have you for this...

.. That's a lovely pun.. the Tories being here for tears to come. Lovely

... Predictive text, where would you leave it.....

All I can say is fair play to them. They are not typical but I raise my hat to them.

There are always merchants of doom and gloom and there are always irrational optimists. Both are wrong and the old world continues to creak it's way at some middle ground, except occasionally major distruptive events occur. Global population growth being one of them and global energy production...

Oh dear KudosDave has secumbed to the personal attack syndrome, but at least is doing it with more style.

I would agree that the sweet spot for an ebike is a 3 to 7 mile trip as a commuter, much shorter and it's unnecessary, longer and it's starting to take up time . Eg 6 to 15 miles round trip. That distance would cover a lot of a city and most commuter journeys . Of course on a days trekking 20...

What negative reports regarding Raleigh? I have the Motus and am very pleased with it. I am also a retiree. In turbo assist mode, you do have to turn the peddles , but in low gear this is no great effort and the bike motor generates 250% of that power, you supply the remainder. I can assure you...

I think it is the cathode connection which experiences the erosion.
