@LeftwaffenWatch Superficially this makes sense, but there is Islam as we are experiencing it now in the UK and Europe, and Islam as it is practiced in Arabia.
Arabs know very well they have extremists in their own lands. Which is why they are clear-eyed about the risk to ours.
@lincslincs Nelson Mandela's record has been massively whitewashed in retrospect.
It is not for nothing that he was jailed on Robben island.
UMkhonto weSizwe were savage. Mau-mau savage.
Let us profoundly hope that we do not end up with a Nelson Mandela figure in the UK!
@AllisonPearson And the SBS please - and the Royal Machines. Sorry, Marines.
The Senior Service seldom gets a look-in as they aren't as visible. But they are no less crucial.
@kelvmackenzie I actually like escape to the country. And homes under the hammer. And home or away - or whatever it's called. And Grand designs. And George Clarke's amazing spaces
But I live without them and watch blokes getting greasy and repairing machines on YouTube instead.
@JamesMelville Having read some of these others, i should point out i deserved it each time: skylarking after lights out once earned all the seniors dorms three of the best from the headmaster's slipper, Clarence.
Sixty boys. Even as a former Army horse polo man, that was an effort!
@JamesMelville Plimsoll, slipper, hand. Usually not more than once or twice a year (on average).
Cane an ever-present threat, but thankfully not experienced it.
@Mr_Andrew_Fox *feel
Vote in every election you can: District, County, Westminster, whatever. Encourage your neighbours and friends to do likewise.
When only 25% turn out in locals and ~50% in nationals, we are throwing away our democracy and squandering the legacy of our forefathers.
@Mr_Andrew_Fox I fe3l your pain: but to say it's not coming back, and that there's nothing we can do is a counsel of despair.
In fact there is plenty we can all do. We simply have to get off our collective bottles and do it.
Vote for a party that represents your views - or stand yourself. πͺ
@ChrisMartzWX If your state "education" was as woeful as ours, and your state propaganda was as relentless as ours, you'd have a hard time thinking straight, too.
The iron curtain didn't drop, it moved several hundred miles north and west.

@AjiboyeOpe39991@DominicFrisby No. I'd already know I was having a heart attack, and reach for the aspirin - because let's face it, by the time I got seen in A&E, I'd be dead.
@LucyTCWife@Justynfilmstar Eugh! The Ponsardin. Tastes like windex. Instant hangover, too. π±
Almost as bad as the bottle of Fortnum and Mason's 'champagne' currently occupying our fridge until we are half-cut enough to drink any more of it.
Awful stuff. Tastes like over-oaked chardonnay.
Pol Roger ftw.
