Utter nonsense, the vast numbers of people involved in New Zealand over time, the unique species, the satellite photos of Earth from several nations, the vast amount of scientific data on the earth, the fact you or I or anyone else can go there at will are all absolute proof of the existence of...

All posted a little earlier in this subject in this thread. Presumably you've been ignoring replies? .

Yes we have. There's an abundance of photographs and specimens of species that exist nowhere else on earth, so there must be a land containing them. A huge number of crews and passengers of yachts, ships and planes have seen it and visited it and their instruments show that it is a separate...

So you are all wrong! The majority often is Zlatan. Take the stock market and investment. The majority go one way and don't do well, the minority go the other way and get very wealthy. That's always the case, no society has ever had the majority very wealthy, because the majority get most...

A politician with a vendetta? Never! .

Well they were immediately wrong there. As I've already posted, Novichok was researched and made in Uzbekistan in the days of the USSR. There is no evidence that Russia ever made any, and Uzbekistan is now an independent country. Once again, media guessing. .

No. In Salisbury they either found something, or may have found something, or may not have found something. You don't know that Novichok was found. They announced it was Novichok days before Porton Down were even asked to identify it. Porton Down had to have their arm twisted to reluctantly...

"You say Tomayto, I say Tomarto", as the song goes. :) .

The media have neither the access to the material nor the expertise to know. They are just repeating the original statement, so it could be one lie by one person with everyone repeating it like sheep. Just like WMD. .

Not as a pedelec, because it's Twist and Go so would need to be registered as a moped, but that is probably not possible since it wouldn't met the required standards, especially if could exceed 15.5 mph under power. The front drum brake doesn't impress and the rear one will probably be a band...

Of course not, only those saying it is Novichok have access to it. Not everything. With politicians the assumption is one of the following: What is favourable to admit results in the truth. What is partially convenient to admit results in half truths. What is inconvenient to admit results...

Marmite? .

OK, back to Britain and Brexit now (The thread subject) Why do we so often invent and create so cleverly and not capitalise on what we achieve, not just in things but also in politics and law? There's the example of the Human Rights Act, created and drafted by Britain but then not adopted. It...

Here as in the USA, political parties and their senior politicians are bought, either with cash or post-politics lucrative appointments. .

We don't know any of that, it's what our "side" say and which you seem to be willing to believe without question, adding to it with innuendo. I don't accept what either side say without question, given the sheer scale on which both have lied during the last 70 odd years. .

Why not, each had their own KGB and rivalry and disagreements would not be surprising, But apart from anything else, I don't trust any Western account of such incidents or any Russian account of Western involvements. They both lie at will to suit their own purposes. .

That's somewhat misleading, since all the satellites had local KGB as part of their secret service and some kept the KGB after the breakup of the USSR. In Belarus it's still called the KGB and in Uzbekistan it remains identical except for the name change to the National Security Service, aka SNB. .

But as I posted previously, the USSR research and cold war effort including manufacturing was carried out in all the satellites, not only Russia. That policy of geographc dispersion was deliberate for strategic reasons, since it made knockout blows by an enemy impossible. In support of that is...

There is indeed. Make no mistake, this is all about the Crimea and the disputed eastern industrial region of the Ukraine. The Russian move on the Crimea and support for the eastern confliuct have left the West helpless and frustrated, knowing they could do nothing at all about either other...

Probably the need for solidarity, reminding them that if it was lacking it could encourage Russia to go further in relation to the Ukraine etc. .
