  1. You sound like a paid bot for the ww3 kickstarter campaign. Oxford University researchers have studied the virus and determined the outbreak did not come from Wuhan, they have earlier strains of the virus found further afield. They are still trying to track ground zero but are confident that the Wuhan outbreak was not the original strain. PS China has also paid the heaviest price in terms of industry and economy.

  2. Agreed. They also grew organic/normal fruit and veg and foraged locally. Data collection and sales is one of the fastest growing new industries. Our lives are monitored, manipulated and recorded for the use of corporations. Security should be enabled at the source not forced upon the user. 1984 on steroids - Corporatocracy here we come..

  3. So you want to live in a fascist corporate dictatorship and complain about globalists? does cognitive dissonance hurt?

  4.  @damien706  I think men's obsession with porn is a separate issue, though there may be a small crossover. This is more likely related to Women feeling pressure to live up to unrealistic standards set by beauty magazines, the Fashion industry, Hollywood perfection and an obsession with plastic surgery.

  5. Sensible precaution. Boris Johnson has done the opposite. But then the Tories did allow over 13,000,000 visitors to Britain in the first year of the pandemic...

  7. Belarus are out of order, having said that the UK has taken in over 2 million Polish immigrants, France have taken over 1 million, Germany and Russia have taken about 400,000 each and the US has taken in around 2.2 million Polish immigrants. By my calculation, they should have room for around 6 million...

  8. In 1917 the British signed the Balfour Declaration to give their protectorate of Palestine to some Jewish bankers in return for a loan to win the war. In 1947 the Palestinians allowed Jewish settlers to free the persecution in Europe and settle in Palestine. Since then Palestinians have been subject to land grabs, brutality and apartheid legislation from their lodger...

  12.  @David-kk5fx  Thank you, kind Sir. When i die, I would just like to be remembered as the guy who gave his taxes to the government to waste on cronyism and corporate greed, without question. Who never resented the endless tax increases and loss of freedoms. Who consumed and got into debt to enrich the wealthy elite, without a hint of complaint. A man who was happy to go without food and heating so that wealthy shareholders could top up their off-shore accounts. A man who played by the rules, even while the rules were playing him. Bless the wealthy elitists and corrupt politicians alike...

  13. I've had my jabs so not partisan to the cause. But authoritarianism on this scale is alarming. I'm just glad this is an alternative universe and not the real one...

  14. Libya? Isn't that the country that was going to create an African currency 'The Dinar' for oil sales backed by 143 tons of gold which would have threatened the hegemony of the petrodollar? Just wondering...

  15. But is there any oil left? that's the most important thing...

  17. But at least by way of an apology they're now ripping us off by doubling the price every six months...

  18. Absolutely disgusting and proof of the failure of the system. Time to make a change!

  19.  @MrTonpark  Possibly Civil War in the US too, unless they attack China before the civil instability reaches a critical stage. Get your popcorn ready, this parallel dimension we've fallen into is going to get a little weird.

  20. Fair enough, if he broke the rules we need to know of his Cummings and goings. Although Laura Iceberg said he didn't do anything wrong and I trust Laura she's the most professional, impartial, investigative journalist / Tory sycophant I know.

  22.  @metalicminer6231  Wales has a diverse culture including Indians, Afro Caribean, African and Eastern Europe. Unvetted is a silly word to use as immigration is never unvetted, so you will always be wrong using it. We have a shortage of HGV drivers, Butchers, Nurses and Doctors that needs to be filled with migrants as we don't put enough money into education and training in this country. I'm glad that they are willing to fill the gap, and studies prove they contribute more to society than the average native born. So stop your xenophobic nonsense...

  24. Isn't he the 3-day resurrection specialist who got nailed to a plank by the Romans for saying it would be cool if we were all nice to each other? His dad's into infanticide, genocide and threatening people with torture in firey pits for eternity if they don't submit to his will? Heard about him...

  25.  @quillo2747  The problem is that you are completely wrong about everything you just said. In Canada, gun deaths are very rare and the process to obtain and possess a gun is rather long and complex, and it involves a meticulous background check on the person interested in purchasing the firearm. Unlike in the US where anyone can walk into a shop and exit with a gun moments later...

  26. Lip service from the clown in no10, from a party that cut funding to renewables and jail climate activists...

  27.  @Sajuuk  "The force is investigating alleged Covid law-breaking" as a result the PM and Chancellor were both fined. Being fined for breaking the law, does indeed make you a criminal... Not that Boris and Rishi haven't done far worse...

  28. Means society will have to change. Maybe move to a resource-based economy and kick the capitalist class to the dirt for their terracidal tendencies...

  31.  @henryg3313  *be, there is that better? You suffer from sycophancy and cognitive dissonance by supporting a billionaire who feeds Wall St trillions while telling you he's on your side and fighting against billionaire elitists. Does the term glass houses mean anything to you?

  33. The commonality is that both Syria and Ukraine are being used as a proxy war staging area in the cold war v2.0.

  34. No, you didn't read the conversation. I assume you told them you were British or whatever and that was the end of it. You weren't questioned repeatedly about where you were 'really' from even after telling people you didn't have records of where your family came from before they were exported to the Caribbean by slave traders, then settled in Britain where you were eventually born...

  35.  @T5Zplayer  Yes I do as privatisation has cost the taxpayer hundreds of billions in bailouts and over £100 billion a year in subsidies and corporate welfare. Not to mention tax-breaks, grants, loans, higher costs for public services and loss of ownership of taxpayer-funded infrastructure. Also the loss of between £40-120 billion per annum via the tax gap. Although if you just want to start a tangential debate and offer more pedantry; I have better things to do.

  36. "There have been reports of labor unrest on the set of the film, where Mr. Baldwin also served as a producer. Several members of the crew walked off the set earlier this week over working conditions, according to several people familiar with the shoot."

  37.  @Dimitris_Half  The NY times says something similar. Can't hide a labor dispute. This is dodgy as hell, we may never know what happened, but we've heard this story from Hollywood many times before...

  38. Reading the comments here depresses the shit out of me, these attacks on Putin may be justified in some cases, but you can't ignore the very real possibility that ww3 has already started. I'd take anything they say about Russia, China, N.Korea and Iran with a pinch of salt. I've read more convincing rough drafts from Ian Fleming when he was going through his 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds' period...

  40.  @skeeprbrit1673  I'm well-read on geopolitics, economics and aware of police procedure, legislation and covert ops, agent provocateurs the history of police actions against the miners, history of police actions during riots. Tonypandy, Brixton, Miners being bugged, Unions being bugged and also framed. BBC admitting to conspiring with MI5 to keep left-wingers from being given air time. These are all historical facts. I've also watched the explosion of smoke from the hospital footage... I'm also aware of the recent legislation that passed earlier this year called the spycops bill that could be used for such a distraction. I have only asked questions and pointed out inconsistencies. If you were as well versed in politics and legislation you wouldn't offer such a weak attack on me...

  41.  @xsuploader  I said another online retailer, so your argument is flawed on all counts. Jeff Bezos doubled his assets to $180 billion in the first year of the pandemic, to put that into perspective, that's enough money to spend $1,000,000 every single day for 500 years. Profit margins could be lowered and provide goods at cheaper prices, ethically...

  44.  @magnolia7774  I already know about it, I've been around a while lol. My main concern at the moment is the devouring of the human race and all its accomplishments by the disease known as disaster capitalism. Well, that and the restarting of nuclear proliferation, rise in neo-fascism and global troop movements signifying global conflict. Still, got to laugh, haven't you?
