Why would an incumbent president hand over power? Won't happen.

Actually he is not that far off the mark, even if he is to obtuse to realise it. Testing will undoubtedly lead to an increase in infection owing to an increase in population movement. One needs to offset that against having a clearer picture of the data. Personally I wouldn't cross the road to be tested but I understand the importance of needing the information.
The increase in cases may also be down to the increased wearing of face coverings. Shoot me down if you like but even the scientific advisers are split on this one.

Us "idiots" need to stick together.

An object lesson to all, Sir. The problem, (in the UK), is that we have had over 20 years of "nanny state" politics which at best has reassured the inhabitants that whatever life throws at them there is a steel floor which will not allow them to fall, but the flip side is that the intrinsically idle are in the same system and have exploited it without a second thought to the detriment of all. Do we wish to return to a pre-war type system where the few rich lorded it over the many poor? Of course not but it did mean everyone had to take some form of employment in order to survive and those who had the aptitude were rewarded for their endeavours.
Of course this has bugger all to do with the BLM farce but it needs to be recognised in the context of slavery per se having little to do with colour but a lot with exploitation. We have strict employment laws that protect not only employees but also prospective ones which means when a candidate presents himself for consideration it will not be a skin colour that sits across the table but someone who could potentially benefit the business. This simply means that the best (wo)man gets the job. Anyone who thinks that someone is going to be turned down because of their colour/race/religion is living in cloud cuckoo land as are those who bang on about equality.

So this is Mandela's legacy. Don't see a rush by the BLM to chuck his statues in the local pond. Maybe one of them would like to say something about it? But of course it's nice black folk doing it to other black folk and that is perfectly acceptable in the eyes of the loons.

Sorry you have lost me somewhere. Don't recollect demeaning the act or advocating a sexist stance, just empathising the media obsession with trivia at the expense of more relevant issues.

Beginning to think we are ALL in a parallel universe when the most newsworthy item is about an over privileged slob putting his hand up a teenage bimbo's frock........Allegedly

Lefty thugs strike again.

The real damage will come after when we lose inward investment jobs.

No objection at all. That’s not what you’re ranting about though.

Lot's of things happened in the war. Should we have a commemoration of the end of the D day landings? We already have VE day of course. And the end of the war day. Like you said it was 75 years ago, we don't do with all the other wars and why should we commemorate war anyway?

I would take your point if the protests were being commemorated instead, but they're not.

I've tried to be polite even though I think you're being a tw@t, but to put it plainly there could potentially be thousands of places in the UK where troops departed to significant places in wars, but just because you happened to work there makes it special to no one but you. So stop feeling you're so entitled or that everyone wanted cruise missiles here. Greenham is more famous for the peace camps than anything else. Get over it!

No, I am not a Greenham "geek". I am ex USAF who like many would like to see a couple of plaques up at the control tower dedicated to those who jumped out into the night sky, and one that recognizes the history of the base.

It could simply say "For those who served - 1942 to 1992" And it should have the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes on it.

Would that really be too much? Is that really unrealistic.

Problem is the tower, Greenham Trust, nor do the various councils give a hoot because it's all about the peace women.

Surely the important thing is where they dropped and not from their myriad departure points. Dear God!

Where does it say “spreading”. A hate crime is very likely an incidence of violence or intimidation (verbal or physical) motivated by prejudice. Are you stupid or being deliberately obtuse rather than just admitting you’re talking rubbish?
