@jumpjim Only worth watching Qualifying. The race is normally a parade. I hope I’m wrong, but it’s got to be the most boring supposed ‘race’ on the calendar. #snoozefest
In 1959, Castro promised to redistribute Cuba's wealth and create equality for all. Sound familiar? Every socialist revolution starts with the same seductive lie about leveling the playing field.
What Castro actually delivered: mass exodus of Cuba's most productive citizens, chronic shortages of basic goods, and a ruling elite that hoarded resources while everyone else stood in breadlines. The average Cuban wage today? $25 per month.
Redistribution never creates wealth. It destroys the incentive structures that generate prosperity in the first place. You cannot make the poor rich by making the rich poor.
To think that we aren't just going "to the Moon," but rather traveling to meet it at an exact point in space... changes everything.
It all comes down to orbital mechanics: arriving at the precise location, at the precise moment.
One tiny error... and it simply doesn't happen
Well 1,061 certainly didn’t stay ‘a little back’. That’s the number of non-American NATO troops who were killed in support of US actions in Afghanistan.
He really is ungracious, ignorant and uncaring on such matters. Especially unbecoming from someone who managed to avoid military service himself.
As soon as we put 'being kind' above telling the truth we start having to fight for our most basic rights in court.Nurses should not have to change their clothes in front of a man because it's 'kind'; girls should not have to be injured on sports fields, or women raped in prison.
They're idiots. Total blithering idiots.
If you can't emphatically say men cannot get pregnant, I will not believe a single word that comes out of your mouth on any topic. You have 0 credibility.
Out and about on a Saturday morning, seeing window cleaners up first thing getting on with the job. Plumbers and electricians starting work. Cafe owners, opening for a busy day. Publicans, preparing for the weekend Christmas rush.
Such a brutal contrast to the army of jumped-up little civil servants and politicians in Whitehall who have already clocked off the Christmas - the ones who implement the tax, devise the nonsense regulations, make the life of small business owners absolute hell.
They don't care about dividend tax rises, or VAT thresholds, or IR35, or mountains of bullshit HR rules.
They don't understand, they don't care.
Comfortable work environments, absolutely zero accountability, total job security, great pensions, no targets. Nobody EVER gets fired. The out of office reply in regular use, of course.
Work from home a few days a week. Maybe head in for drinks once a week, but that's at a stretch. Don't even try and contact them past 15.00 on a Thursday.
These busy little bureaucrats have embedded themselves into the system, building it so that their own pompous role seems irreplaceable.
Honestly we need to drag these people into the real world. The world of Saturday morning work. Weekend work. ANY WORK.
Freeloaders gliding through life on the back of productive Britain.
I'm with the cafe owner. The publican. The window cleaner. The plumber. The electrician.
THEY deserve our respect and our gratitude.
They're the ones who make this country work, not the pretentious empire-building desk-jockey in central London.
A total reset is required.
Why aren’t school children taught about slavery in the Ottoman empire? Is it because millions of their slaves were Europeans? Or is it because it was the British, the United States, and Europeans that were the ones that stopped it?
The Taliban has banned Afghan women from showing their faces or speaking out loud in public under strict new laws.💔😡 to be women in Afghanistan is just crime 💔
