Decent space at the behest of and with the assistance of @Vocal_GenX and some top class contributions.
Still not sure about the West Country incursions/impositions into the rest of the nation but 🤷🏻♂️🤔
Catch you all soon.......
Government of utter twats @UKLabour, even when compared to the last mob
He may make some good points at times but if Dan had engaged his brain before posting this, he'd have realised that the phrase he uses, "How can terrorists have been realised on bail" requires at least one question mark.......
Would help if you & your colleagues knew what a woman is.
You've patently tried to ignore, dilute or marginalise the clear SC verdict on it all, so how can you possibly seek to protect women if you can't even define what one is?
Despite the defeat and Carrick's many woes, there are some possible solutions for @ManUtd
1 Get rid of the awful owners, thus requiring some very affluent individual or organisation to rescue Utd from them.
2 Abandon the title of manager and ONLY ever hire an interim with a game by game contract so compensation can be saved when the sack inevitably comes.
3 Both of the above!!
For those of us that didn't experience the 1970s the first time round, here's the @UKLabour government giving us a chance to witness such things, especially the economic basket case we'd become, first hand.......
About as relevant as the Scotland, Wales and NI signatures from yesterday 🙄
@NickMartinSKY has spoken to villagers in Piddington, Oxfordshire, where residents will hold a symbolic vote to leave the UK over plans for an asylum centre nearby.
The villagers say they have valid safety concerns, while critics accuse them of nimbyism
Does the left ever do anything other than control & coercion?
What exactly are the parents of kids doing if not gradually teaching them about food nutrition and healthy/healthier items?? 🤦🏻♂️

If you're going to make such preposterous assertions, it's probably best to have some idea what you're talking about, before you opine.
To compare any faith with the proselytising ideas (let alone history) of Xty and Islam is specious at best - the idea that any Dharmic faith, or Judaism, seeks supremacy or exclusivity seems to misunderstand the way they have evolved or indeed their raison d'etre
Every religion will eventually die.
Every religion thinks it is going to win. Hindus think one day Hinduism will dominate the world. Muslims think one day the whole world will accept Islam. Christians think Christianity will eventually reach everyone. All three are preparing for the wrong competition.
The future is not Hindu vs Muslim vs Christian. It is religion vs a new generation that has science, education, AI, unlimited information and the freedom to question everything.
Religion survived for thousands of years because information was controlled by a small group of people, (pandits, maulvis and priests) and questioning religion itself was considered disrespectful.
For the first time in human history, information can no longer be controlled.
The new generation is fearless and intelligent - They have more information, question everything and are increasingly unwilling to accept something just because someone said it thousands of years ago.
You can already see the change today. This generation is questioning beliefs their parents never dared to question. (that's why many beliefs have already disappeared) The next generation will defiantly question even more.
Your grandchildren will not simply believe your religious stories because you believed them. They will question every uncomfortable claim, every miracle and every 'God said so.' They won't care how old the story is or how sacred you consider it.
They will ask one simple questions 'How do you know?, Where is the proof? And 'because God said so' will no longer be enough.
Your grandchildren may look at today's religions the way you look at Greek mythology today.
Not necessarily with hatred. Just with disbelief that millions of intelligent people once took every supernatural claim literally.
You think your religion is fighting another religion. It isn't. It is fighting education, science, unlimited information and the freedom to question everything.
And for the first time in history, claims that cannot survive questioning have nowhere left to hide.
Time to message these folks right about now.........
More than 10% chance AI 'could kill all humans', Anthropic researcher says bbc.in/4gVCHnk
Just in case anyone was still mistaken in thinking @UKLabour or any recent UK governments were pro business, development and independence (for individuals), as personal cars invariably provide......😱🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
🚨 NEW: The Government has told housing developers to make it harder to drive around estates to prioritise cyclists
They should build "tighter corners", use 20mph speed limits and encourage shared cars

Impossible to disagree with.
Dolly Parton was 100% platinum, diamond etc and was one of the MOST talented to ever do it!!
So a book written by someone after he placed ads in local newspapers in 2006-08, asking for, and receiving the views of c150 veterans, is somehow indicative of the whole or even majority of those who fought in the war 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Anecdotal fallacy comes to mind but the delicious ignorance in this post is from a book that delivers corkers such as police officers could be deployed to pursue an English grandmother whose taxes are in arrears & that Margaret Thatcher should be blamed for her pursuit of economic national interest rather than "the good of the nation" which was obviously what we needed, after the events of 1973-76.
Perhaps said account may try to use extant material from the Mosley era and say that that rigmarole represents the/a British view, as if the phrase itself is some monolith stuck in time or as one participant in the book says, a joyous time in the UK when, "people whistled and sang".
Other insightful responses in the book, include one from somebody who apparently took part in the disastrous '42 Dieppe raid where 3.6k people were wounded, killed or captured. Said person then proceeds to call New Labour "more of a shambles than some of the actions I was [involved] in during the war".
Many of those that replied actually claimed they were scared to leave their homes in the obviously violent Curfew Age of 2006-08 with a commonly held view being, "we old people struggle on pensions, not knowing how to make ends meet".
This is the genuine, probably only decent, facet of this collection of grievances - socio-economic alienation leading to bitterness and envy in a changing world, where people feel left behind and seek refuge in a perceived Golden Age, a story as old as man.
The replies don't just stop there; a widow of a deceased veteran says that she disagreed with "same-sex marriages & rubbish TV programmes" whilst many lamented the decline of religion and felt that the Land of Hope and Glory had become "a land of yobs and drunks". Along with such views, many even wanted birching and hanging, the sanctions "they grew up with", to return, whilst one lady decried, "the advent of the Pill and the collapse of sexual morality".
Such archaic & fringe views would barely make it into a sober undergraduate common room at a decent university, let alone into a room of proper academics, historians or lawyers.
Whilst the expressed views may have some value for posterity, the idea that we should live our lives through, or according, to them is simplistic drivel. Gay people are not third class citizens that should face discrimination or legal action for their orientation, nor should the State or any holy book tell adults how many partners they can have or how many drinks they can consume on a normal night out.
On SM, such mythstory, can easily be painted as if it is majority opinion across the country, when it is but an idealised collection of thoughts from old & sadly disenfranchised veterans (and families) who, inter alia, lament modernisation, the use of mobile phones and being "unable to just buy a ticket at the station" which we can STILL do some 20 years later!!
The World War 2 generation were interviewed decades after the war and only 2 out of 100s said they didn’t regret fighting. Both got rich after the war and that was their sole reason.
Almost all of them expressed dismay at the non-White population of the UK and many even said they’d have fought with Hitler to prevent the current state of the UK.
This book definitively proves that our troops regretted fighting for a plethora of reasons, but the towering reason, above all others, was that we flooded this country with brown people.
The WW2 generation agreed with Lucy White. This isn’t even up for debate. She might get a little mad because of the selective clipping here as she stuttered, but she can hold her head high because all those who made the ultimate sacrifice would be proud of her, and we know that for a fact.
Thicko gets fried in pretty shallow oil 😂😎
These sorts of people don't usually survive much contact with reality, hence why they are comfortable in echo chambers........
