  1.  @dolebandit9942  If yer an eejit it's best to stay quiet rather than confirming it.

  2. People that equate all Muslims as terrorists are just ignorant, personally I would hate to be thought of as ignorant so why are so many people OK to live as ignorant rather than educating themselves on the causes of terrorism?

  3. Well it's near a large US Air Base so it's not likely going to be someone from Zimbabwe.

  4. Especially since they know it will mean Russia turning off your gas supply. It makes this decision a lot more impactful, it shows that the German people are putting what is right ahead of what is right for them.

  5.  @Tosse901  Your enemy is Putin, not the Russian people.

  6. It took two centuries and countless billions just to make the first route, may as well ask why there's not a Bridge going from Ireland to Britain to France.

  7. It saddens me how stupid modern humans have become that such things require explaining.

  8. Sure. Banned items are harder to procure, this is exactly why the UK doesn't have the gun violence problem that the US has. Regards Rob.

  9. It increases hatred towards protesters which is the exact goal of those who finance such groups.

  10.  @antred11  Not to mention the fact this video has nothing to do with remain, it's about the stupidity of a no deal Brexit.
    7
  11. Exactly, Gaz, amazing how many stupid people there are in this country.
    7
  12. Yes, but their families did not, and a patient that is unconscious can't ask for anything now can they? Admittedly the title of the video makes it sound as though patients are the ones winning this right, but that's Sky News for ya.

  13.  @jayc342009  Common sense, that and the fact that each time Elizabeth Truss has said "We won't have X" the very next day it has been in the papers that the Americans have demanded we accept X. The NHS will be carved up and our regulations will be dropped, how else would the US be able to swoop in and buy up everything? Tsk.

  14. It clearly stated in the video they are of no use against terrorism, watch the video before asking idiotic questions.

  15. "Even animals don't do it" - actually homosexuality is widespread in nature, the only thing that is endemic to humans only is homophobia.

  16. The US has been supplying Ukraine with weapons for weeks...

  17. No rising nationalism and no killing each other every 20-30 years like we did for 3 millenia right up until 1945 when folks finally said "FFS, we need to be unified!" Good enough reason for me, my grandfather has more wisdom than anyone else I know and he thinks Brexit is an insult to everything his friends died for after the break up of the league of nations took him away from home and forced him to fight at the age of 16.

  20. The entire reason ours is known as the independent deterrent is because it is independent. We haven't needed to run anything by the US since around 1983 when we demanded complete control over the missiles we buy. The clue is in the name.

  21. I do hope that in the unlikely event the west ever get into a nuke-flinging contest with Russia that we have a few warheads targeted at Donetsk.

  22. Astute are attack subs, Vanguard are ballistic subs, our attack subs hunt their ballistic subs and their attack subs hunt our ballistic subs. It's cat and mouse except the mice are way bigger than the cats and very good at hiding.

  23. Depends on locations, a ping from the UK to the east coast of the US should be between 70 and 90 if both people have a decent connection to the fat pipe of light under the Atlantic. Gaming between western Europe and eastern US is not bad, gaming between western Europe and the western US is a problem, London gets around 130 to 150 ping to Los Angeles.

  27. Here here, I voted stay in 2015, but I wish I had hindsight, I considered myself British back then but now more and more I see British values mean trying to skuttle England by cutting off their nose to spite Europe and I don't want to be pulled down in their wake.

  28. If anything petrol usage will rise and renewables will pause. The US is our biggest influence, even more so now that Washington knows that Brussels is out of the picture, soon Trump will be dictating to Theresa to push carbon seeing as he's pulling out all the stops to get coal and oil back on the dinner table and will be looking for buyers.

  29. Pretty much :/

  30. This generation and the last one were the most prosperous in those 900 years of warring, I'm not seeing your point. Surviving on the streets for 20 years is no reason to celebrate when your house burns down because being in that house was better than those 20 years likely were.

  32.  @derickaby1731  ALL doctors and nurses value life, even your own doctors and nurses, the problem in less developed nations is not the hospitals or staff, it is the politicians in control who choose where funds go and who often live in lavish lifestyles at the expense of their taxpayers.

  33. I love how almost every single comment here is from someone who never watched the video or completely misunderstood it. Which is scary since it shows just how ignorant the right really are.

  34. Democracy doesn't work, it has never worked, the Greeks turned their back on it within years of creating it because people voted selfishly and the nation suffered for it - the voice of the people is not always the correct one, look what happened to Germany in 1934. Democracy would work in a society where every member of the public was literate and could recognise a propaganda merchant when they see one, but no society is so far that advanced though the Scandinavian countries come close. In 2016 the UK voted to leave the EU because one man, Dominic Cummings, wrote "350 million pounds better off every week" on the side of a bus.

  38. We will never join the Euro, that decision was settled a decade ago and immigration will hardly change, yeah the legal folks from Poland and Lithuania will be stopped from entering but the illegals turning up on boats in Kent don't really follow rules do they? And what incentive will France now have to keep the illegals away from buses and trains and boats now that Britain is no longer an equal partner in the EU? The flood of illegals is coming, well done Brexiteers!

  39. We're gonna need fighting spirit, we have an enormous uphill battle to get anywhere close to the kind of trade deals we had before.

  40. G Locc, spoken like a true dictator. Bring on that referendum, yaasssssss!
    2
  41. Hence Trump winning. It's funny that people see no good in the EU despite the past 70 years being the most peaceful 70 years of the past 3,000. The last time we saw such a rise in nationalism and the dismantling of such a large organisation (the League of Nations) it led to a war that saw the death of between 40-60 million people. I suppose right wing idiots will consider that figure much better than the handful that dies every year to radical terrorists.
    2
  42. The Walking Lead, because everything will become much more expensive until we have new trade deals (which won't even come close to the fantastic ones we had) and half of our number one industry, the banking sector, are looking to relocate to Berlin and Hong Kong so that will see god knows how many trillions of revenue taking out of the coffers over the next decade. At least we will now be able to fish again like Norway and use that fish to become global superpowers on the same level as Norway and Albania and other non-EU countries. In less than 80 years we have finally managed to remove Britain completely from the map of relevance.

  45. There was a very bad sand storm with gail-force winds, when the storm subsided the captain found that the winds had blown the ship sideways and it was now stuck. Container Ships react very badly in strong winds because they have huge flat sides that act like sails.

  49. But none of them died though, they didn't die then and they haven't died now. Only two people died at Fukushima and both were drowned by the Tsunami as it entered their basement workspace.

  63. The majority of democracies have a president and a prime minister, the former is the head of state and the latter is the head of government, it's only the US where one person has both. Here in the UK the head of state is the queen.

  67. Our oil revenue would easily cover our spending, Norway is the richest nation in Europe because it's oil revenues go towards 5 million people instead of 60 million. We Scots just need to brush off the 55 million money-sucking ticks we currently have stuck to our arse... Though to be fair we'd happily pay for the 25 million or so who are grateful, respectful and friendly to us, like most of Northern Ireland and 48% of England and Wales - it's just the xenophobic, ignorant, indoctrinated Brexit leeches we'd like to scrape off on to the kerb.

  70.  @paulcalder9697  Most destroyers, UK or US, can carry a maximum of 96 anti-air missiles, often they have much fewer on board but as each missile is stored inside it's own replaceable launcher an enemy has no way of knowing if a destroyer is carrying 96 missiles or zero. So if they really want to guarantee hitting their target they have to have at least 97 drones per destroyer in the region, that is a fairly good deterrent for them not to waste their drones.

  72. Tories, the gift that keeps on taking.

  73. I don't think they need to test end-stage patients as they can assume a person died of Covid-19 from the way in which they died, people don't commonly die from respiratory distress or cytokine storms and so a doctor can be confident enough to put the virus as cause of death.

  78. When we went to war with England? No, we bankrupted ourselves and England offered to bail us out if we joined the Union, that was in 1707 and the last war with England ended about 390 years earlier. At least get your history in the right century, mate.

  81. Yeah, the not-so-sudden drop (6000ft in 3 mins is perfectly normal) was likely the pilots dropping to a lower altitude to get out of the turbulence. I read in a newspaper the actual turbulent drop from hitting a cold pocket of air was something like 80ft, which is why everything not strapped down hit the ceiling.

  90.  @johnnorris1983  Only if they are prolonged for days with no one to tending to the data centers as every data center has some kind of redundancy, be that offsite backups that remain safe when power takes out a data center, or diesel generators to power the center for up to 72hrs - plenty of time for the power to come back or for those on site to backup any critical data to a place offsite. Also a computer doesn't lose anything on it's hard drive when it gets turned off, data centers are the exact same - if they do lose power it just means we can't access the data from our homes, but the data is still there on tens of thousands of hard drives sitting without power waiting for someone to restore the power.

  91. Because Rupert "Fox" Murdoch owns Sky News Australia and they report on what he wants them to report, just like Fox does.

  92.  @mosesserukwaya816  Wind can transmit bacteria, but all the major bacteria groups are already found all over the world and so it doesn't matter if they travel in the air. Viruses on the other hand can only survive outside of a host for a very short period of time depending on the virus, for a coronavirus that time is 30 mins suspended in air or around five hours on a surface, after that the virus dies. So the only way a virus travels across the world is inside animals, like humans.

  104. Exactly, republicans used to blend in with normal people but now they like to make themselves stand out, which helps with avoiding them.

  105. Technically we voted "not a deal like this" but we obviously were going to need a deal at some point, they are our major trading partner and I'd rather get a deal now while we have stuff to bargain with rather than get a deal later when the vultures of the world are picking us apart to get whatever they want.

  110. Yeah, they do it when on holiday, they don't do it when they live in that country, except the personnel of US air bases do it routinely and in fact drive on their own side only moving to the correct side when they see traffic. That's arrogance, ignorance, incompetence and major disrespect for the laws of the land all wrapped up in an American skin.

  111.  @SCYorks  Your mum can order online can't she?

  112. It's both. Suppliers have fewer stock so demand allows them to raise prices, and when their new stock comes through they will likely pass any expenditure from lost trade on to customers for a while. Supply and demand is very fickle and people like Warren Buffet have probably made billions this weekend because of it.
    1
  113. People just instinctively fear anyone that is different, difference signals that a person belongs to another tribe and so will compete for resources, it's hard wired into our psyche from hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. The only way to combat this is education education education. Gingers though are just plain evil and will be the downfall of humanity.

  117. Nah, we'd be sanctioned and economically crippled, something we can't do to an economy that is 10x larger than ours. At some point though most of the world will align and start sanctioning the US unless they get back to a democratic government under a stable leader.

  119. A first referendum is just as moronic, putting a decision like this to a public that don't know the first thing about what they are voting for? What's next - steel mills asking the public what the best mix of metals is to make an alloy? The navy asking us where about to fit guns on the new frigates? I mean while we're all about putting intelligent, serious decisions to a bunch of ignorant Daily Mail readers then I don't see why not. I'll get reading up on metallurgy...

  140.  @Boyct23  The company is called Evergreen, hence the enormous 20m long letters on the side. The name on the side is always the company name, the smaller writing on the bow and the stern is the name of the actual ship. Some of us have spent a week trying to teach that to people. If the name of the ship was in massive letters on the side that would mean that 1 in every 4 container ships must be called "MAERSK", but common sense gets rarer every year and some people just don't seem to have it anymore.

  176. Ever Given and it sails for the Evergreen line, the huge name on the side of a ship is always the company it works for, hence the 100 blue ships with Maersk written on the side. The name is written near the bow in much smaller letters.

  177. I wonder how many countries around the world have done an inventory of what confiscated goods they have stored in their ports? My guess is absolutely zero, because even after a catastrophic event like this people will still have the familiar "It won't happen to us." helping them to ignore it. I mean the same thing happened on Cyprus in 2011 when a few thousand tonnes of confiscated ammo that had been left in the sun exploded, it was just 125 miles from Lebanon and was the largest non-nuclear explosion of the 21st century until this one happened last year. You'd think such a big blast might have stirred the Lebanese government into action, but that's hopeful thinking...

  178. Sky News is owned by Rupert Murdoch who owns FOX News, thanks to British anti-bias regulations Sky News isn't a right-wing propaganda machine like Sky News Australia (aka "FOX Down Under") but it still goes out of it's way to paint conservatives as messiahs whenever it can, it just isn't allowed to put nuggets of grade-A bullshit on the air like it's US and Aussie sister channels.

  180. No, because more often than not they use firearms to solve arguments. We don't want to be known for the number of mass shootings that happen, the US can keep that badge of honour.

  181. In fairness the past 77 years of complete abstention from war was Germany showing that it was no longer attached to it's past, and if anything supplying weapons to a conflict zone will just ignite fierce debate in the German government for years to come but at least it was the right thing to do.
