There’s degrees of hypocrisy. Taking a pension from an organisation whose life’s “work” and raison d’etre it is to undermine is about as shocking as it’s possible to get for hypocrisy. So Abbott sending her son to a private school is arguably hypocrisy, but a strong argument can be put to defend it. Farage’s only defence is to make up some nonsense about them trying to take it off him.

The wonders of electrification:

Due to damage to the overhead electric wires between London Paddington and Slough all lines are blocked.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 120 minutes. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.


What a complete utter shower!

VisitBritain reckons that tourism linked to royal residences such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle adds up to 2.7 million visitors a year.

And a consultancy called Brand Finance estimated in 2017 that the monarchy’s annual contribution to the UK economy to be around £1.8bn a year, drawing in an additional £550m of tourism revenues a year, and an increase in trade, from the Royal Family acting as ambassadors, supposedly worth £150m a year.

I again disagree. I am suggesting that many catholic priests are paedophiles because of their religion. I am suggesting to you that they join the church, and see it happening and over time it becomes normalised. So they end up being the same way. You can't deny that there is a disproportionate amount of it happening in churches and they only exist to control swathes of people and serve no other purpose, I maintain that it's more than a casual link.

Where's your evidence that grooming gangs are connected by the church/synagogue/mosque? Was your question, are you seriously trying to suggest that the widely publicised problems with kiddy fiddling within religious quarters are just conicedence? Doesn't the quoran talk about Mohammeds 6 year old bride?

No, but the hierarchy are more than happy to cover it up and we know that. We also know that the hierarchy have taken part in it. So whilst it might not be in the bible, it is certainly prolific within the church.

"Aisha's age at the time of her marriage is frequently mentioned in Islamic literature. According to Sunni hadith sources, Aisha was six or seven years old when she was married to Muhammad in Mecca. The marriage was consummated after the Hegira to Medina, when she had reached the age of nine or ten years old. Many scholars interpret this to indicate that she reached puberty at this age.For example, Sahih al-Bukhari states that Aisha narrated that "the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old."

There is I believe a saying, "The fruit don't fall far from the tree".

Fish some believe are not sentient as youv'e already mentioned, insects are another good source of protein. Laboratory grown meat is on the cards too.

I disagree. The last time I checked human beings had both incisors and molars which made us.... Omnivores. This means we are meant to eat both veg and meat. If we do have to eat meat then the animal we are eating should be given a good a life as possible and then dispatched in the quickest and most pain free way. Until such time as meat can be produced from none sentient beings (that is not far away) then this is a necessary evil. When meat is produced from none sentient beings then I guess our future selves wil look upon us as murdering evil bstds. But then looking back is easy to criticise.

Spartacus certainly has shed a lot of light on some of things that have happened in South Africa so thanks for injecting a bit of fact based knowledge into the forum!

It is just staggering how high a percentage of the human race is so deluded.

The seats are fine for me. They are designed to improve posture.
Also the air con is better and I understand the wi fi is considerably improved. Oh and the track will soon be fully electrified which is both green and a lot less noisy.

I agree that the lack of drivers and delays are inconvenient to say the least but you do have to point out where improvements are being made.

I’m not even 6 feet tall yet the shape of the back rest is wrong for me and it forces me to bow my back, it is horrendous. I doubt I could sit in one from Newbury to London.

Renationalisation will just give the Unions the green light to strike every poxy few weeks.

The problem for me may soon be fixing itself.

However, the seats are seriously uncomfortable for me; there’s no way I could endure long distance in one.

Doesn’t accelerate that fast when it is stacked behind orher services.

Once more a relevant topic of conversation degenerates into a mud slinging fracas. As my old form master to used to say when dealing with squabbling 3rd formers "I have no wish to know who started it only to inform you that I am the one to end it".
By all means criticise the opinion but name calling is neither nice for the recipient nor those who wish to make a valid point.

I really don't know why anyone turns up to vote in a local election, there really isn't any point. if you must go, just spoil your ballot paper - that really does wind up the bureaucratic mind! At least 10 minutes fun on a dull count night.

Says Walter. The snowflake with no ideas and no answers. Don't go out tomorrow fella. Gonna get a bit nasty so I understand. Best stay in bed.

And pictures of Nelson, Wellington, RAF roundels and a few crusaders thrown in for good measure. Make sure Old Johnny Foreigner knows who he's a dealing when we slap him round his greasy face with it! Can they do one that plays a tune when Johnny opens it? God Save the Queen for preference.

Quite happy to have another referendum old boy.
It might finally shut your whinging up. Though I very much doubt it.
Here is one of the pro EuropeansI expect you support with a large Jewish community in his constituency. Nice lot the "New" Labour party.

This is the 'majority' that voted Brexit? Or the 'majority' that didn't vote for the anti Semites?.

Unlike you, I can't speak for others, but I think you'd find, if you had access, that those I follow on twitter and facebook, or anywhere else for that matter, apart from the odd news article, have nothing to do with Britain First.
YOU are part of the problem with YOUR leftist bile.
