  1. In Australia, our national day of celebration 'Australia Day', has some formal ceremonies, but largely consists of people relaxing with family and friends on the beach or having a barbeque and a few beers. The day itself has been 'reinvented' by activists on behalf of the indigenous people as being 'Invasion Day' or 'Survival Day'. Last year, despite Covid restrictions forbidding Australia Day parades, these activists protested (unchallenged by police) in major cities around the country. Most of them were white 'social justice warrior' types of university age; many of whom (when interviewed) didn't know what the traditional relevance of the day was!

  2. I don't allow people I don't like come into my house, so I wonder who decided that the British people couldn't have the same view of their country.

  3. What's curious is how a schoolboy gets 100,000 pounds damages? Normally the damages are in keeping with estimated financial losses incurred by the plaintive. What possible financial losses would a schoolboy have for being called a bully? Half a million in court costs? I can see who the criminals are.

  4. It's heart-breaking to see a police force which was arguably considered the benchmark of professional policing degraded to this level.

  5. It always amuses me when Australian Aborigines remind us that they have the 'oldest living culture' with something like 50,000 years of history. It's said as though it's something to be respected and revered. In my mind, the word 'culture' represents development and growth. You would think James Cook would have been faced with hover cars!

  6. Time to put on a dress and call yourselves Cindy, fellas. Oh wait, that's no good, they'll put you in charge!

  7. There seemed to be a time when we didn't mind so much if these people were relatively well off. We had an expectancy that they were intelligent, well schooled, of good character and derived a good income in no small way to try and ensure that they didn't have financial problems that would see them tempted by 'offers' for favours. We all know we live in a hierarchical society; traditionally (for the most part) based on opportunity and competency. Now it appears that these principles have gone to shit in a handbasket.

  8. I would imagine many young men are sexually frustrated, particularly when they are very reserved, lack confidence with girls or are just not particularly attractive to women. I was all three and an idiot as well. Sexual assault could not have been further from my mind. I'm seventy one now and feeling much better thank you.
    136
  9. And they talk about 'White' privilege!
    127
  10. It breaks my heart. I've lived in Australia for many years now but spent most of my early and middle childhood years near Newquay. Went to secondary school at St. Column Minor. Dad was in the RAF and worked as an air traffic controller at RAF St. Mawgan (now Newquay airport) while we lived at the old married quarters at the disused RAF airfield at St. Eval. I've been back to Newquay twice since 2014. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon though.

  11. I live in Australia and the majority of those who demand infinite regress for the indiscretions (by modern standards) of the colonial past towards Aborigines, are either white socialists or those who are barely recognisable as having Aboriginal heritage. In many cases my swarthy Welsh complexion is darker than theirs!

  12. When I first emigrated from the UK to Australia as a nineteen year old in 1970, it wasn't long before I noticed that it seemed that those people who owned the biggest and most splendid houses were of Italian or Greek origin. It may have been an inaccurate conclusion, but there it was. I was soon to realize why this was the case. Their work ethic in their country of origin probably brought meager rewards, but applying the same ethics in a place like Sydney in the sixties and seventies really paid off. They also seemed to make full use of the family with the elderly and children all contributing to a common wealth. It seemed to be looked upon by the born and bred Australians with a degree of envy and resentment who were quite satisfied to work from 9 to 5 and have weekends on the beach. Personally, I resented having to work even those hours!

  13. I've made this comment before. My mother served in the RAF during the second world war and at one stage was based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. Whilst she was there, the aircrew of what was to become the famous 617 'Dambuster' squadron assembled there before finally forming up at RAF Scampton and carried out the daring raids on the dams in Germany. The commanding officer of the squadron was Wg Cdr Guy Gibson who had a black Labrador dog named 'Nigger' A film of the episode was distributed in 1955 starring Richard Todd in the main role. I have seen the film aired on free to air television (even recently) many times and there are a number of scenes where characters in the film refer to the dog as 'Nigger'. Thankfully this classic film hasn't succumbed to 'progressive' interference. My mother used to feed Nigger before he was run over by a car.

  14. In 2019, my daughter serving in the Royal Australian Air Force was deployed to the Middle East. She asked me to fly from Queensland to New South Wales to look after her kids while she was away. The kids' day care centre was on her RAAF base and as a result I had to get clearance to drop them off and pick them up. Because I still had British citizenship (despite serving in the Australian army), an Armenian born security guard with an accent pronounced to the edge of illegibility, labelled me as a foreign visitor. Something seriously wrong there.

  15. She's very fixated on the colour of people's skin. What happened to "Judge a person not by the colour of their skin....."?
    107
  16. This push for "Diversity and equity" isn't as 'new' as what some people may think. About 20 years ago I was still employed in local government and was attending a seminar where the facilitator claimed that we needed more women. When I asked why, she said that I had missed the point of the whole seminar. Another voice was heard saying, "I don't think he has."
    103
  17. Our headmaster had an immediate cure for kids with Pathological Avoidance Syndrome.
    90
  18. When I was about ten (1960), a friend and I managed to enter a parked bus. My friend managed to inadvertently start the bus and we both panicked and ran away. We were apprehended by adults who called for the local 'bobby'. He took our names and told us he would call in and see our parents. By the time it got to about seven o' Clock, on the assumption that he wasn't coming, I casually mentioned it to my mother without mentioning the police. No sooner were the words out of my mouth then there was a knock on the door and the unmistakable shape of a policeman's helmet could be seen through the frosted glass window.

  19. I've always argued against the paranoia people have about those who shout accusations of paedophilia towards someone who is taking photographs (or recording) in a public area where children may be subject to inadvertent inclusion. If your kids are out in public where someone's wants to photograph or record it doesn't make the camera user a paedophile and they don't need anyone's permission. Having said that, this issue is something entirely different. For someone who admits to being attracted to children and not only doesn't expect the electric bonnet treatment but is looking for sympathy, may try the dictionary somewhere between 'shit' and 'syphilis'.

  20. It was something that I've, (reservedly) thought to be true without bothering to do any research. It was, of course inferred in the film 'The Battle of Britain'. My parents were both in the RAF during the war (father for 35 years) followed by my late brother. I think even they just accepted the general account. Makes you wonder if we can believe anything anymore without spending all day checking it. Fortunately, my retentive ability is going so I don't remember half of what I told anyway (so my wife tells me).
    71
  21. I commented on another YouTuber's channel yesterday on some scenes he recorded in Manchester. I pointed out how this was a very different image to what I hade known of the England in which I grew up in the fifties and sixties. Another viewer (sarcastically) feigned shock and horror that I found changes over sixty years. What I was really observing, was what appeared to be an elevated state of psychosis in the behaviour of the general public included in the clip. I wouldn't imagine that time alone has changed human behaviour that much.
    71
  22. My father joined the RAF in 1937 and remained in it for thirty-five years. My mother served in the RAF during the war. My brother joined in 1974 and served for twenty years. They're all gone now and I'm glad they didn't have to see what the RAF has become. I have a daughter in the Royal Australian Air Force with sixteen year's service and I think they're heading the same way.
    65
  23. I wonder if this will apply to Muslim, Hindu or Jewish parents who undoubtedly have very traditional and defined views on this subject? Probably not. I dare say it only applies to white Christian or atheistic parents with British heritage.
    63
  24. I'm seventy one years old, retired and I live in Australia. My main concerns are maintaining a reasonable level of health and well being for me and my family. There is another man in Russia who has the same view. I don't know who he is but we should be appointed as world leaders. If we're not available my friend Brian is available on Wednesdays.
    60
  25. I live in Queensland, Australia and over exposure to the sun (particularly in summer) is a real hazard. Even here events aren't cancelled because of that. People know what's required to deal with it and they do. It always amuses me when radio and television identities remind me to drink water on a hot day. It's like when they tell me to drive carefully on a wet day which totally ruins my weekend plans to drive as dangerously as I can.
    60
  26. How is this even legal? The ideology that selects people (particularly for roles such as that) based on anything else but competency is insane. In 1970, I applied for flying training with the Royal Australian Air Force and was rejected in not meeting eyesight requirements. Fortunately, it saved them the inconvenience of discovering that I was too lazy and stupid to be trusted with a twenty million dollar aircraft.
    49
  27. Those 'Filler' words such as "like", "you know", or "So" at the beginning of every sentence etc. are also known as 'discourse markers'. Not to be confused with 'speech disfluency' such as "um" and "err".
    49
  28. It's interesting how that back in the fifties and sixties, policemen still had a bearing such that one didn't 'trifle' with them despite the absence of weapons and tattoos.
    49
  29. One would have hoped that by now, even the most enthusiastic 'welcoming brigade' would realise what's been let into their midst.
    41
  30. Yes, it's easy to sound like an 'old fogey' when you talk about how things were in the past. I think though, there use to be a pride in whatever uniform a person wore as a representative of a company or government organisation. I think it was almost regarded as a privilege to be given free clothing and there was an expectation that you looked after it and wore it in a manner that brought credit to you and your employer.
    40
  31. Now it's all very well to use the Bible as a term of reference for these doctrines, but personally I'd like to see the minutes of the meetings.
    40
  32. It's lunacy is what it is! Believing in something other than plain scientific theories of how we all got here is one thing. Believing there's some superior being 'tuning in' to people on their knees or prostrate asking him (or her) to alter some vast eternal plan on their behalf, whilst at the same time he's transmitting individual messages is insane. I wonder how many Muslims there are (just in the UK) would either do what this guy has done, condone and support it, justify it or even accept it. When you add all those up, I would bet there's thousands of them.
    39
  33. I think the responses from the chief constable could be classified as 'obscurantism'. Deliberately presented in an imprecise, convoluted or abstruse manner, designed to limit further enquiry or understanding.
    39
  34. That role description sounds like it was written by someone in the HR department of the city council where I use to work. The only requirement was it was written in English and it was broken into several key selection criteria that nobody understood but just put "yes I can do that" on the application. I think decolonising just means you have to make sure there's an exhibit which shows that Cetshwayo kaMpande developed supersonic flight.
    35
  35. The concept of 'romantic interlude' was even dispelled in the issues of the 1950's kids comic 'The Topper' where the stone age characters in the 'Big Uggy' episodes were seen with a club over their shoulder dragging a recently acquired wife (supporting a big lump on her head) away by the hair.
    35
  36. We may be looking through 'rose coloured glasses' a bit I suppose; with memories of 'Dixon of Dock Green still fresh in the minds of some of us older generation. I live in Australia and look at police officers on duty, with tattoos, unpolished shoes, no hats and chewing gum. They definitely don't have the dignity and bearing of what one would have expected years ago. Oscar Blaketon wouldn't have stood for it!
    33
  37. I had no intention of using the expression, but now I'm going to use it for anything from describing my breakfast, to how I put on my underpants.
    27
  38. I emigrated to Australia in January 1970. I solved the crisis in the pub down the road.
    25
  39. I'm guessing the York City Council is dispensing with the traditional functions of local government like infrastructure maintenance, public transport, capital works and all those other inconvenient things which normally justifies the rates people pay.
    25
  40. I'm afraid I just don't get it. Why people are so offended or 'triggered' by what someone else says. I certainly don't get this driven to suicide because of social media business. Are we raising a generation of fragility where there is no structural integrity in their thinking? Maybe they should bring boxing back as a selective sport back into the schools.
    23
  41. I think they may want to call it Diane Abbott Park because of her contribution to mathematical achievement.
    22
  42. I raised the issue of the melting ice about two years ago and my comments were summarily ignored. In simple terms the vast majority of a lump of ice floating in water is actually displacing water (by being underwater). When it melts, the volume and displacement is less, so (even taking the tip of the iceberg into consideration) if anything, the water level would go down.
    22
  43. I think it was in Alistair MacLean's novel 'When Eight Bells Toll' he used a description of one character as saying "The displacement between his hairline and brow provided an adequate representation of the capacity within".
    21
  44. The immediate problem would probably be housing. Those given refugee status will undoubtedly receive some sort of priority; inevitably making availability of housing for others more difficult and more expensive. Ironic that the 'Empire' has come back to bite us in the arse even after all this time.
    21
  45. Ah, but there's a big problem with these private organizations doing what use to be solely carried out by the government. There is a distinct absent of vital consultative meetings with essential steering and advisory committees. Not forgetting the registers of the minutes of meetings and controlled documents which have to comply with quality assurance and continual improvement assessment outcomes. How on Earth can they function without these things?🤷‍♀️
    19
  46. Why do people expect (demand) that we are not allowed to dislike something without them attaching the 'phobia' suffix. Maybe it's sympathy they're looking for? They'll find it in the dictionary somewhere between 'shit' and 'syphilis'.
    19
  47. Ah, yes, but what it is, is that they've actually come from Columbia and the current took hold of their dinghy and swept them up the channel to Dover. They were aiming for Portugal and valiantly paddled as furiously as they could and even lost all the elderly and women and kids on the way. They obviously tried as hard as they could and seeing as there's four star hotels available, they may as well stay?
    18
  48. I think the "elephant in the room" is the degree of respect, admiration or general feeling people have for one nationality as opposed to others. You can look at a number of social, cultural, technological, and other aspects of some and inevitably draw conclusions about on whom you would prefer to invest time, effort, money or opportunity.
    18
  49. My thoughts exactly. I grew up in the UK in the fifties and sixties where, generally, seeing a black person was a rarity. So where did they all go? I did actually have a black friend when we lived on an RAF station in Cornwall but that was because his dad was Jamaican.
    16
  50. I think when they talk about 'BAME' they just mean 'B'. I live in Australia which is probably a bit different in so far as the immigration diversity issues are mainly focused on people from Asian countries. In some ways the acceptance of diversity from some of the southern African and Muslim countries is fast becoming a problem.
    16
  51. When you look at the track record of Pfizer over the last few decades, which includes massive legal settlements and fines, there would also be reasonable cause for concern.
    15
  52. I was making exactly this point the other day! You see these television presenters and other so called identities along with medical experts and politicians, all talking as though there's no other level of knowledge or thought outside the narrative they want us all to swallow. It's quite bizarre and disturbing. They're the ones that shouldn't be allowed out in public!
    15
  53. Just ignore it and if necessary, fight it at every opportunity. Make those who wish it upon us very uncomfortable by the mere suggestion that we should capitulate to this attempt to implement compelled speech. If Muslims can stand up in public and incite murder, we can say what we want. I've been retired for seven years now but just before I did, I drove buses for a while. We were instructed not to refer to a wheelchair as a wheelchair. I totally ignored the instruction and continued using the term over the two-way radio when required. No reaction because they knew it wasn't enforceable.
    15
  54. He'd quickly go from an electrician to a conductor.
    15
  55. I live in Queensland, Australia and a short drive from where I live, there's a section of clear open beach stretching uninterrupted for thirty kilometres. I was allowed to go to the local 'off licence' and walk amongst dozens of strangers (we call them bottle shops) but would be fined for walking alone on the beach with someone with whom I share a bed (my wife to be clear). Never again!
    13
  56. I live in South East Queensland, Australia and have the impression that this winter season has been cooler than in previous years. Despite that observation, I have it from a reliable source (my sister) that this is also caused by climate change (global warming). When my sister advises me of the science, it's well and truly 'settled'.
    13
  57. It always amuses me as to people's proclivity to readily discuss someone else's business with a third party. It starts at a very young age. I use to drive school buses (as well as scheduled services) and the primary school kids were forever informing me of some sort of mischief or unacceptable behavior (as they saw it) of others. It manifests itself later in adults too. Occasionally, I have been told something in confidence and sworn to secrecy; which was rarely a problem for me owing to my lack of interest or memory failure. However, it was almost inevitably the case that the 'secret' was barely contained for more than twenty four hours by other means.
    13
  58. Of course, there's wars and then there's wars. There's also still the megalomaniacs who wish to conquer by means other than military.
    12
  59. It sounds as though there's been a committee involved there somewhere.
    12
  60.  @phoenixobrien163  I wouldn’t disagree with you although I think the term right and left wing has virtually lost all meaning. However it's not beyond belief that any attempt to control the behavioural patterns of the population can be applied to some and not others. I live in Australia and eighteen months ago people were being arrested for walking on an open stretch of beach during Covid lockdowns. During the same period Aboriginal activists were marching through the streets of capital cities in protest of events that occurred 200 years ago vandalising public property and doing so with impunity.
    12
  61. I believe 'Ben & Jerry's supported Black Lives Matter.
    12
  62. I was born in Wales and live in Australia. I've been back seven times but with Drakeford creating a complete mess, I don't know if I'd go back again.
    11
  63.  @methaneman4045  That was in the days when the physical size was seen as a 'tool of the trade' to enable a policeman to contain a perpetrator without having to use weapons or 'batter' him.
    11
  64. I live just north of Brisbane in Queensland and several years ago I accompanied a group of friends to a resort island for a day's 'recreation'. While we were there, we all competed in a 'flip flop' throwing competition. Most of the efforts resulted in the item only being projected a few metres. When I threw it, it caught the air at the perfect angle (inclined plane) and soared off into the distance, never came back and was never to be found again. As Charlie Drake would say, "I'm a disgrace to the Aborigine race".
    11
  65. When I look around I have no doubt there is a noticable degree of 'fatness' around. Whether it existed before or not I'm not sure. I think if there has been any increase over the years, it would be in men. Occupations tend to be much less labour oriented these days than before, with greater access to 'bad' diets. I must admit I was shocked to be assessed as obese (according to a chart at work) at a height of five foot, ten and a half inches (189cm) , and a weight of 94kg.
    10
  66. Same. I find that if I listen carefully I can actually hear my skin crawl.
    10
  67. I've followed Alex for some time now and he can carry on like a bit of a 'loon' at times but (if you believe him) he has been subjected to some degree of discrimination; if not persecution. There's not much he says that doesn't resonate with me to some degree. It is however concerning that YouTube are going to trawl for comments that may "upset" someone. I can see I'll have to pull out my old 'Enigma' cipher device. Only really smart people will understand what I'm saying.
    9
  68. I can now inform my friends that I am one of the founding fathers of modern literature because I use to read 'The Beano'.
    9
  69. I emigrated to Australia in January 1970, so my last 'Guy Fawkes' night was in 1969. I seem to recall private purchase of fireworks was banned around that time. I remember there was a tragic case (amongst many burns cases) where an elderly lady ad a firework go down the front of her dress and she was burnt to death. As a kid 'bonfire night' was one of the highlights of the year.
    9
  70. Many, many, years ago I was at a 'training' seminar within local government. The seminar was focusing on 'women in the workplace'. At one stage, the facilitator said "We definitely need more women in the workplace". I should, at this point say that I personally worked with some lovely, competent women. However, I raised my hand and asked "Why?" The facilitator's face turned sort of 'cloudy' and was visibly irritated by the question. She simply responded by saying "You obviously haven't been paying attention and have missed the point entirely".
    9
  71. I live in Australia, and it can take me about an hour and a half to mow my lawn. It looks quite nice (providing we've had sufficient rain to make it nice and green) with the edges that meet the concrete driveway all nicely trimmed. A couple of weeks ago, it was 38⁰C as I suffered through the process and questioned my sanity.
    9
  72.  @forthfarean  I use to work with a guy who ended every single sentence with "Do you know what I mean?" Even when I sarcastically answered every time with "Yes I know what you mean", he still didn't catch on.
    9
  73. Many years ago, I was working as a street cleaner in an area of an Australian city which had a high degree of ethnic diversity. As I swept the gutters, I saw a twenty dollar note fall otherwise unnoticed from the pocket of a man sitting on a nearby bench. I picked it up and made the man aware he had dropped it. He seemed to be of mediterranean origin and thanked me but added the return of the money to him would not have happened in his country.
    9
  74.  @Mary-lx3zs  There's certainly that sort of thing going on here but probably a bit less consistent. We don't have the same illegal immigration issue or hotels filled with single men who have come over by boats. There was an incident the other day where woman's rights protesters were attacked by pro trans groups (in Melbourne I think). I live north of Brisbane in Queensland so I'm probably not exposed to some of the activities in the cities.

  75. It's beginning to sound very much like Sharia law.
    8
  76. I lived in Malta in the sixties and returned for a visit in 2010. It still looked the same to me; although they did lose a big chunk of it when the top bit of the 'Azure Window' arch fell into the sea.
    8
  77. A few years ago I was on a tourist excursion from Hong Kong to the main part of China. The public toilets were just a hole in the floor where you were expected to squat (with no support), line up your Norden bombsight, somehow avoid dumping in your trousers and hope everything was on target!
    8
  78. I like Denzel Washington in films and haven't ever felt the roles in which he's performed have been 'tokenism'; until this one. I think Washington himself tends to voice his opinion against this sort of thing, but he's not going to knock back a few million dollars. I noticed Matt Lucas was in it. Didn't he piss off to Europe because he reckoned Britain was too racist?
    8
  79. It's a well-known fact that the NHS would have never succeeded without the contribution of people with ginger hair and rode 'Hercules' bicycles.
    7
  80. I've got mixed feelings about compulsory vaccinations for children. On one hand it could be said that the parents have the sole obligation to decide what's best for their child. On the other hand, you get some real 'looneys' who don't accept 'proven' life saving medical procedures. I think there's been a lot learned over the last few years in terms of making the right decision.
    7
  81. I live in Australia and I happened to read the recruiting policy of our national airline. It outlined inclusion, diversity and 'reconciliation' (for indigenous people). It also made reference to abandoning (or word to that effect) the "stereotypical" images of the past. I assumed it meant the mature, white, experienced, highly skilled, pilots from predominantly European heritage who have contributed to the enviable safety record making the airline one of the most respected in civil aviation.
    7
  82. In 1969, I worked for an automotive company in Norwich and we had to work every second Saturday (all day) as part of our normal working week. I was getting £9 per week!
    7
  83.  @wjf0ne  Yes I'm fully aware that I was generalising. As I said; maybe my observation wasn't correct, and it was just anecdotal evidence, but it sure seemed that way. I worked in Sydney as a carpet cleaner (and later Brisbane) and went in many, many homes and spoke to many people. There appeared to be a common thread.
    7
  84. Many years ago I was employed as a cleaner in an open air city mall. There was always evidence of anti-social behaviour and disrespect directed at cleaners sweeping up rubbish and emptying bins. At a later stage, I was reassigned to the mall in the Chinatown area. A completely different 'kettle of fish'. Nothing but courtesy, respect, and pleasantries.
    7
  85. So it wasn't the Zulu king Cetshwayo kaMpande who was the first man to break the sound barrier then?
    7
  86. Yes; I subscribe to 'AB' and a few others. A combination of paranoia, rudeness and arrogance towards the public by members of the police force is commonplace.
    6
  87. Do they really think they're making some sort of impact on racial differences? I've got no problem with a black woman winning a British beauty contest but whoever wins it should represent the generally accepted view of beauty by that country. Would an Asian country consider a 'wide eyed' red haired Scottish woman as beautiful as one of Asian appearance? I would say not.
    6
  88. When I started secondary school in England at the age of eleven in the sixties , I enrolled in the school boxing team and soon became quite competitive. A few years later my family moved to Malta and I attended a school administered by the Royal Navy. To my great disappointment, they had abandoned any such activity. It was probably a case of not having a teacher willing or able to devote the time and effort into what was an extra curricula activity, but I always thought it was a shame.
    6
  89. I can quite understand how a young Nigerian girl wouldn't have any particular desire to go to an Irish pub.
    6
  90.  @fredericksaxton3991  I can understand how they don't want to take the financial risk of the film being boycotted if they use the original name. The other option is that they don't feature the dog at all; it's not as though his presence is particularly relevant to the storyline even though it does add to the 'personal' aspect.
    6
  91.  @AnthonyWilliams-ew3wp  I was thinking of getting a dog and naming him 'Shark', then taking him for runs on a crowded beach.
    6
  92. I don't doubt the fact that the British government made attempts to prevent the continuation of the slave trade; but whether that was through some high moral approach or denying others the economic advantage of having slaves is something to consider. They didn't seem to have any problem with (for all tense an purposes) enslaving their own people in mines and other cruel and barbaric conditions.
    6
  93. I don't think I've seen a police force descend into such disrepute so quickly. I never thought it would happen to the police in Britain. They need a real change in leadership.

  94. When I was growing up I didn't like girls because they all had fleas and none of them liked me (probably because I accused them of having fleas). I hardly gave a thought to different races although I thought we'd better watch out for Zulus after watching the film 'Zulu'. I'm now retired with a wife and five grown up children and have no discriminating thoughts about Zulus or any other races even though I don't recall anyone having any specific discussion on ethnicity and gender issues.

  95. I still see people wearing face masks in supermarkets. I had some guy wearing one who said something to me the other day, but I couldn't understand a word he said. I made no effort to respond. His problem; not mine.

  96. I've lived in Queensland, Australia for over forty years and on particularly hot days there are numerous public warnings about not going outside and drinking plenty of water. I go outside, drink when I'm thirsty and at seventy-three years of age don't seem to have any problem.

  97. I think there probably is a tendency to be less 'accepting' of black people than say Chinese or Indian. We probably associate Chinese, Indian and middle eastern countries with cultural aspects which we find appealing. Chinese Indian and Mediterranean/ Arabic food is immensely popular in most English-speaking countries. Most cities have a 'Chinatown' which adds a cultural colour to the district. I can't honestly say that African culture has the same impact.

  98. Love your channel, but this is where we temporarily part in parallel thoughts. The whole concept of religion and religious belief and it's mindless doctrines (particularly Islam) leaves me cold.

  99. Best time of my life. No work, meals served up on demand and slept whenever I liked.

  100. I get the 'irony' about pub car parks but just because someone drives to a pub and parks there, it wouldn't necessarily mean they were going to drink over the prescribed legal limit or in fact at all. I've made several return visits to the UK from Australia and have often had lunch or an evening meal in a pub and despite loving a few drinks never have any when I'm driving. Sometimes, the pub car parks are for guests actually staying in accommodation, so it's not so incongruent to have them there really.

  102. It's a sick and deplorable thing for this guy to do and he's probably psychopathic but the action itself doesn't warrant a prison sentence surely. Retribution for actions like this are often carried out by bystanders.

  103. I use to live in the married quarters at RAF Coltishall in the 60's. My bedroom window use to look out over the end of the runway and I watched the Lightnings leave the ground and go vertical. I live in Australia now but have visited there on a few visits.

  104. I live in Australia and as I flicked through the channels searching for that elusive channel of worth, I stumbled upon the opening credits of Coronation Street. I don't actually watch the program and in fact didn't realise it was being televised here. I haven't seen it since I visited my mother in the UK in 2004. I paused for a moment in a moment of nostalgia and remembered the very first episode when I was ten years old. The first three characters who appeared on the screen were all black!

  106. If the people who want no police could just leave their name, address and the approximate times they're not at home that would be good.

  107. In Australia we have an untalented television identity named Lisa Wilkinson who's on one of these 'holier than thou' panels. She holds the New Zealand Prime Minister up as a saint and talks as though men in general have just walked out of a pervert and rapists club meeting and planning their weekend activity.

  108. Ok, now they've gone too far! Time for an uprising when they target 'The Beano'. I started reading it when the 'Bash Street Kids' segment was called 'When the bell rings'. I went to primary school in the fifties and there were two black kids (both brothers and my friends). In my secondary school there were two black kids. The same ones.

  109. Putting aside that it may seem out of character coming from a scientist such as Richard Dawkins, it's probably not unreasonable to consider a purpose or 'usefulness' of devoting resources to a particular line of research. The question of "What will we do with the information" maybe a question to be open to some thought. You could of course start with the Welsh who invented a round boat with one oar.

  110. I'm shocked! When I was young, just having one other person was a challenge. Usually it was just me by myself!

  111. I've come across a number of Indian people who are immensely loyal to Britain and the monarch. I live in Australia and use to run a carpet cleaning business. On at least two occasions I've been in the house of Indian families who have had a picture of Queen Elizabeth on the wall. Not once seen it in Australian's homes. On one of my visits to London, the Indian taxi driver had a photo of the Queen in his cab.

  112.  @johnwood2448  The good thing is that in the film, they keep the dog's name (in context) as it was. I sometimes wonder if any black people would really be offended, or if it's just these white 'social justice warriors'

  113.  @Robbie939  They seemed to have improved things a bit in places like Hong Kong and Singapore; particularly in public place like airports. On a trip from Australia to the UK back in 2007 (as I remember), HK airport still had 'hole in the floor' toilets.

  114. I'd love to see a statue of Queen Elizabeth, but I would imagine there's some sort of protocol which would prohibit her statue being in the company of one in a more elevated position.

  115. It surprises me that unionists object to Tommy Robinson's cause. Apart from the radical Marxist anarchist who wishes to bring down our society, I think of union members as working-class men and women who simply want the best possible standard of living for their efforts. These were the bulk of the people who went to war in defence of their country eighty years ago. Surely, they can see how the foreign and Islamic invasion has effected the country they supposedly love!

  116.  @davejohnson3474  I don't recall (maybe I've forgotten) any suggestions being offered. As a means to be as recalcitrant as possible, I had a few politically incorrect ideas which I may have used except I'm sure would have caused offence to those having to use them.

  117. People often claim they don't have a problem with legal immigration or legitimate refugees and that's fair enough in one sense but probably said without appreciating the extent or impact.

  118.  @grannyannie6744  I live in Australia and according to the Australian Government Department of Health Immunisation Handbook it states that "Vaccines must be given voluntarily in the absence of undue pressure, coercion or manipulation". They're not even adhering to their own code of practice.
    4
  119. I think it should be remembered that a lot of the original feminism (as I recall) was about women having equal value and not treated as 'second citizens'. When I first came to Australia in the seventies, women weren't allowed in public bars and were expected work at home from dawn to dusk without the entitlement of some daily reprieve from the drudgery of household chores and looking after kids, while the husbands considered their work more deserving of several hours in the pub each day after work. The problem now is you've got men hating activists who want revenge for past indiscretions. Bit like some of the racial issues.

  120. It's vital to have the latest mobile phone and lots of 'bling' along with one of those cars up and down on it's own suspension.

  121.  @daveglynn748  This was one of a few I've seen. I believe it may have been Sheffield (not Manchester). Looking at it a second time and it's probably is more a case of reinforcing an overall impression I've developed in recent times. https://youtu.be/flaWEKWUM64

  122. I've got two daughters (now grown up) and I can't relate Greta to them; or find her cute in any way. More disturbing though, are the the moronic people who have elevated her to 'Joan of Arc' status and using her as a focal point through some poorly prescribed lenses.

  125. But see, she was white, and even worse than that, she was British, so her name can't possibly be allowed to contaminate the progressive thinking of our current generation.

  126.  @Dont_Believe_them  Actually to be fair, he was a 'nationalised' Australian and I was the foreigner. When I first arrived in Australia in 1970, Australians and British nationals had the same status in being 'British Subjects'. That changed in 1984 which made British citizens residing in Australia, foreigners.

  129. To be honest, you may be overestimating the depth of interest that kids have for this sort of thing. Although I must admit it was only last week where I realised that it was unlikely that the Lone Ranger had silver bullets. Personally I think children are more interested in how many Nazi Zombies they can kill on their Playstations.

  130. I think there's probably a silent majority of black people who aren't recruited into this way of thinking and would disassociate themselves from the 'gangland' circles with whom Johnson chooses to keep company.

  131. It's paramount to treachery is what it is! These countries shouldn't get a penny from the United Kingdom or anywhere else for that matter.

  132. I sometimes think there's a degree of virtue signalling hypocrisy about remembrance ceremonies, one minute silence and other gestures in honour of those who have fought and died defending not just their own country but others as well, whilst allowing their memory to be treated like a lump of dog shit on the bottom of one's shoe.
    3
  133. It's almost as though their treating black people like the dog that can ride a surfboard. They don't do it particularly well, but it's amazing that they can do it at all.

  134.  @ltravail  I can understand how the term is derogatory when it's directed at people. What I find strange, is when people are just discussing the word, they skirt around it by saying "the 'n' word". I heard a news presenter the other day use the term 'Paddy Wagon' which of course describes those police vehicles that collect drunks and other offenders to cart them off to gaol. Interestingly, the reason they call them that is because Irishmen were considered the usual customers. 'Paddy' being a colloquial term for an Irishman. Quite a derogatory slur when you think about it.

  135.  @fredericksaxton3991  I think the problem with removing all the superfluous stuff, is it then presents itself a bit like a documentary.

  138. I grew up in Britain in the fifties and sixties when my father was in the RAF. We lived for a long time on RAF married quarters and I went to schools either administered by the RAF or Royal Navy; or civilian schools with other kids from military families. Not a lot, but some of the kids were from mixed marriages of servicemen who had met their wives serving overseas. Chinese (Hong Kong), Singaporean, Jamaican, were some of the kids noticeably different in appearance from the rest of us. Others were children of those left over from the war like Poles, Czech, German etc. As far as I could see, they all lived in exactly the same way as everyone else. There was no friction or animosity on behalf of those from other ethnic backgrounds. If anything it was probably the English kids picking on the Polish kids because their parents had unfortunately sent them to school in 'Lederhosen'!

  139. I doubt if any half decent black person would agree with this stupid woman even if they felt there were legitimate racial issues still unresolved. The 'holocaust' was everything about race. The Nazi's were all about race. They even considered themselves a superior race. The only redeeming aspect about Goldberg's crap is that no one with an ounce of intelligence would watch her show.
    3
  140. I have a distrust of just about all religions; particularly those who are very focused on doctrines which inhibit personal freedoms and afflict severe punishments for non compliance. Islam seems to be quite prominent in this area. These doctrines appear to be a mindless effort to somehow placate or appease a God, who for some reason get's upset if (for example) a woman shows her face or drives a car. Even the more benign representations of religion like the mild mannered vicar peddling his bicycle through the streets of an old English village with it's rows of thatched roofed houses has a dormant yet despicable past with the potential to re-emerge in a way that's not so endearing.

  141. May as well recriut them from prisons.

  142. Nothing will change until those who denounce English / British identity, piss on our history and demand reparations or march down the streets waving foreign flags are made to feel uncomfortable.

  143. I live in Australia. We now live in an ever increasing environment of being made to feel directly responsible for whatever circumstances the indigenous people (activists) think appropriate to bring up. There is a disenfranchise of indigenous people living in remote areas who, for a number of reasons can't assimilate to modern societal norms. instead of any real effort to change this, many Aboriginal representatives seem to want to prioritise a primitive 'culture' as a constant topic of conversation.
    3
  144. The day before I retired from driving buses a fifteen year old boy told me that next time he saw me he was going to get his knife and cut off my dick. This was after I told him to get off the bus when he attempted to evade a fare (repeat offender). I can't imagine any boy of that age saying that to a grown man back in the fifties or sixties.

  147.  @Helen-xy9qj  Back in the day, I wasn't sure I could always tell the difference between Greeks and Italians. The common tell tale was if you went to a milk bar called the 'Parthenon', the chances were it was Greek. Either way, they were always good, hard working 'earthy' people. I did however run into some of the younger 'second generation' who didn't always share their parents enthusiasm for the type of work that gave them a private school education and high standard of living.

  148.  @stephfoxwell4620  Yes, I was aware of that and I've been to Melbourne for business and pleasure on several occasions. Interestingly, in recent years (may have changed since I last looked) but the language most prominent in Melbourne after English is Indonesian.

  149. Strange that isn't it. What could it be; what could it be?

  150. I knew it! I knew there would be a dastardly Englishman to be found in there somewhere. Antisemitism was well documented in Britain (and other places) long before Hitler came along, but it's a long bow to stretch to divert the responsibility of the 'Holocaust' from anyone other than him and his Nazi criminals. On the other hand there was this guy in my village in Wales who use to dress up as Father Christmas and give presents to small kids. I think he may have had something to do with it.

  151.  @cardroid8615  I don't get an overwhelming sense where I live and you have to remember that the combination of indigenous, islander and Maori heritage (although in minority) is part of the overall appearance that differs from the 'Anglo Saxon Australian' for want of a better description. I worked for the Brisbane City Council for over twenty years, working in and around the city itself. Over that time, particularly in the few years prior to me leaving in 2008, there was a marked increase in the number of (mainly young) Asian faces. I suspect many were students at the universities, some of whom I would assume acquired permanent residency at some point. The largest population of people from non-English speaking backgrounds in the city of Melbourne is Indonesian, It use to be Greek back in the seventies.

  152.  @youtubeyoutube936  Undeniably so. I guess in the long term it's whether it becomes a positive or a negative. I'm British and Britain was overrun by the Romans, the French and my own country of Wales was suppressed and annexed by the English. You'll notice there's representation of England, Ireland and Scotland on the Union Flag (Jack), but no Wales. Ultimately one could say that although it was no pleasure cruise for those at the time, the ultimate benefit of the technology and civilisation was something we all take for granted.

  154. I have no distaste or animosity towards people from other countries. However, I'm quite willing to ignore the label of "racist" or one of the "phobias" when I air my views on any unacceptable customs or behaviour. My response to these claims of racism is, "So what?"

  157. I've been watching with some interest a program on television called 'Secrets of the Imperial War Museum'. I live in Australia, so I don't know how old the program is. There have been a number of new projects and displays and I've noticed that there seems to be a focus on the contribution of black people in various conflicts.

  158.  @BradLad56  It varies from state to state. I live in Queensland and because I'm not vaccinated I'm barred from pubs, clubs, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, theatres, sporting events, theme parks, museums and libraries. I'm also forbidden to visit anyone in hospital. Those who are vaccinated must show proof of vaccination. We have been required to wear masks in all indoor public places and public transport. As from next Friday we will only be required to wear masks at airports, on public transport and hospitals.
    3
  159.  @BradLad56  They seem to get around it under the provision of 'public orders'. Unfortunately we have very little to no constitutional leverage because both state and federal constitutions just cover the framework of governance with no bill of rights. I've written to both federal and state parliamentary representatives pointing out that their own government immunisation handbook states that "vaccines must be given in the absence of coercion, manipulation or undue pressure" when in fact they've done all that and more. The Northern Territory has a 'Chief Minister' (like a premier) who has openly stated that anyone that opposes mandatory vaccines or vaccine passports, even if they themselves have been vaccinated are "anti-vaxxers'.

  162. Living in Australia, I became aware of three names which aren't particularly a household name here. Tommy Robinson. Nigel Farage and Katie Hopkins. I was first made aware of Tommy and Nigel by reading derogatory comments made by Facebook friends. After listening to both of them, I found that I aligned with most (if not all) of the opinions they both expressed. I sort of 'stumbled' upon Katie and although a lot of what she says is rather hyperbolic and presented in a humorous way, it still has a ring of legitimacy.

  163.  @bilboblaggins7659  Yes; absolutely. As far as the UK is concerned it's probably near zero. Apart from maybe a few crew members that may 'jump ship' from some despot country from which their trying to escape everyone else could find safe haven in mainland Europe.

  164. I was watching a BBC interview with Baroness Valerie Amos who was born in Guyana. She spoke eloquently and reverently as one would expect. Then, just before the end of the interview her tone seemed to change with the inference that past recent years have not been in tune with 'modern' ways and we should now look to a 'new' future. I can only imagine this new future will not focus too much on those who have white skin and historical ethnic links with Britain.

  166. I remember many years ago I dropped into a pub (in Australia) for a beer with my brother in law and my cousin's husband. I had come directly from work and was wearing a suit. A group of three guys seemed to be directing comments for my benefit and I heard the word "poof". The three of us left the bar and walked to my brother in law's car. We were followed. One member of the group asked me why I was wearing a suit to the pub and when I ignored him, he grabbed my arm and swung a punch, which missed. I hit him squarely in the face and he fell back. I was immediately pounced on by one other and after both falling to the ground I was repeatedly hitting him the face and bashing his head against some bicycle racks. All very violent and unnecessary. The amazing thing was that the second guy was screaming out "Fair go mate" as though he was some sort of victim, and I should cease and desist. The adult members of Gaza are the three guys in the pub.

  167. What is "Islamaphobia" exactly? "Phobia" infers a fear like "Arachnophobia" (fear of spiders). If "Islamaphobia" means you find their religious doctrines as being medieval, invasive, entitled, intimidatory, misogynistic, and even barbaric, then count me in.
    3
  168. I live in Queensland, Australia. Because I'm not vaccinated, I'm banned from all social and recreational facilities (pubs, restaurants, cinemas, museums sporting venues etc.) Even though, their own immunisation protocol states that there must be no coercion, manipulation or undue pressure the Queensland government deprive me of a lifestyle which I've taken for granted for decades; but that's not called harassment.

  171. Nothing sinister about Islam except if you say anything that Muslims think you've offered some affront to their religion, they want to kill you. Try eating a bacon sandwich in a mosque and see what happens.

  172.  @1246-g2v  The issue is the general belief that the bombing of German cities was in retaliation to (accidental) bombing of London. The facts presented here suggests that Britain had already embarked on bombing missions over German cities. It seems the collective memory of that seems to be absent.
    2
  173. It is very easy to remember England sixty years ago as being better but bearing in mind that those that remember that far back were (mostly) children and seeing the world through a different lens. However, despite the world being generally more convenient with modern technology, shopping malls, large supermarkets, greater availability to car ownership, overseas travel and numerous other things, I'm not sure we have a better society. I think to some degree, we have to go back to the future.

  175.  @Peter-uy3ti  It may not be a commonly used phrase and possibly be an exaggeration but considering the Iberian Península origins of the Welsh, many have more of an olive type skin than some of their Celtic and Anglo-Saxon cousins. I lived in Malta for some years and always being mistaken for Maltese. All my relatives on my mother's side have the same complexion.

  176. These people don't know what racism is. They may be right insofar as there were (and still are) elitist and racist attitudes amongst some circles but being "snobbish" and "unpleasant" is a long way from the regime that Bader and millions of others fought against. A friend of mine is a South African born man of Indian heritage and told me of how he had to sit at the back of the bus and how he was the first person in his town to be a non-white employed as a mechanic. That's racism!

  178. Someone once said that a man representing himself in court is being represented by an idiot. I have followed Alex on YouTube and must admit to being drawn into the 'David and Goliath' sentiment of his plight. Without going into the details, it does still seem to be that the police have emerged unscathed despite some questionable behaviour at the behest of the BBC.

  183.  @ilaibavati6941  It's a complicated issue that also includes the cultural aspect of parenthood. Some seem to place importance on education and a high level of achievement for their children where lack of effort and failure is barely accepted. Others; not so much.

  191. I live in Australia and in the seventies I worked for the Australian Gas-Light Company (Now AGL Energy) at one of the production plants in Sydney. I remember this Muslim guy use to spread his prayer mat in the toilet so when he was praying. I'd be having a piss in the urinal right next to him. Very strange set of circumstances!

  192. I think for many people it's becoming less and less crucial to acquire or retain knowledge for general interest. Knowledge is becoming very much like films in so far as being conveniently 'on demand'. If a person wants to know anything at all, the answer is usually readily available on Wikipedia or social media.

  193. 'Reparation' in it's original context would mean to fix something that's not working. That was done ages ago when slavery and other forms of systemic oppression were abolished. What they're talking about now is equivalent to criminal intent. Any politician who subscribes to the notion or considers giving any consideration to handing over taxpayers money to these crooks should be sacked (at the very least) or thrown in gaol for treason.

  194. Slavery amongst white Europeans was well documented. I lived in Malta in the mid sixties as a kid , and of course became aware of the Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem (Knights of Malta). and the great siege of 1565. I seem to remember that 'Suileman the Magnificent' of Ottoman Empire fame, got really pissed off when the knights pirated his ships and enslaved his men.
    2
  195. I think there's a number of social skills which are benefited by being part of a collective education system which better prepares children for the reality of the working world. I wonder about the effects of being isolated and not being immersed in a competitive environment. There's also the issue of the instructional skills required by a tutor. Ideally, the tutor would be a trained professional with the knowledge of instructional methods. The problem lays with the accepted standards of teachers and administrators in schools. It's concerning that a child spends twelve years at school and can barely read or write when they leave.
    2
  196. It's the age old issue where government assistance is based on needs but with no real thought to effort. It's so easy for people to 'legitimately' remove themselves from responsibility to contribute. Sometimes younger people inherit the problem from their parents; either in attitude, education or competency. I've seen the 'great tattooed, unwashed' turn up at the local government office with little or no sign of purpose other than getting their 'entitlement'.

  198. I should avoid listening to this sort of thing because not only am I unable to do much about it, but my anger level rises, which probably doesn't do my blood pressure any good. I just feel disgusted at the way the British people are being treated by all the 'powers'.

  202. It's a ridiculous notion that means of data collecting bear much resemblance to modern day technology, and even then we have to assume the methods are without error. These are fact that climate change zealots seem to abandon without question. I'm also intrigued to listen talk about icebergs melting and making water levels rise. There's some simple mathematic equations which confirm that if you melt an iceberg, it's volume decreases to the point where it's displacement is less and therefore the level of water goes down.

  204. It's quite true that Muslims, Hindus and those from other religions always work together to resolve issues.

  211. While it's all very tempting to have a clean sweep and embrace a more authoritarian approach to government, we should be careful what we wish for before we dispense with traditional democratic processes. The Roman Catholic church has certainly demonstrated the capability to misuse it's power and influence. This is all very typical. A new kid in town with all the stirring words and everyone fawns over the promise of a new beginning. I for one hope she affects real changes in her own country and dispenses with the politically correct, woke gender bending crap and government control but let's not give her a gleaming suit of armour and a sword just yet.

  213. Politicians in Britain have failed the British people to the point of being treasonable. To have allowed this to go on for so long is criminal. Off shore detention (with all it's potential human rights issues) is the best way to stop the influx. If they know they won't be put up in hotels, given free houses and other financial benefits they'll stop coming virtually straight away. One of the few things Australia got right.

  221. The problems with multiculturalism has been illustrated by the aftermath of Sir David Amess' murder. Owing to the fact that his killer was of Somali extraction, members of the Somali community have been subjected to harassment, violence and death threats. The key word is 'community'. Because the killer was a member of a 'community' they, by default, are assessed as sharing the blame. They are usually easily identifiable and targeted.

  223. I'd be interested to hear someone articulate exactly how their lives will change one way or the other. Despite the meritocratic nature of the Westminster system in Britain, it has been given a vasectomy at some point since Margaret Thatcher left. I live in Australia now but grew up in England in the fifties and sixties. Although at a young age I wasn't immersed in 'issues' I had a strong sense of the patriotic presence around me. The British police and military along with education were considered the standard by which others were judged. I'm wondering what's there now. I feel like I've abandoned a ship and I'm watching it sink. Unfortunately, my dinghy's got a hole in it.

  229. I've been a follower (not a disciple) of Russell Brand for about twelve months now. Although his appearance and past 'antics' have not appealed to me, his view on the sort of topics he presents does somewhat resonate with me. He's occasionally quite funny in his delivery. I think it would be a bit naive of anyone to exclude the motivation of making money and considering social media channels as a business venture. Overall, I think Russell, and people like yourself, Niel Oliver, Richard Vobes, Dr. John Campbell, to name a few, provide an invaluable service in unveiling the truth behind the mainstream news.

  230. How is using the word 'Nigger' when you're just talking about the word itself in any way offensive? When people use the expression "The 'N' word, that's just plain stupid. Why do we capitulate to such rubbish? I wouldn't dream of using the expression in reference to anyone, but when you're discussing it's past use it's perfectly legitimate to say the word. My mother was in the Royal Air Force during WW2 and was on the same base that the famous 'Dam Buster' squadron (617 Squadron) initially formed up prior to the raid over Germany. In the classic film 'The Dam Busters' which depicted the event, the leader of the squadron 'Guy Gibson' (played by Richard Todd) had a dog called 'Nigger'. I watched the film on free to air television a few months ago and his name was mentioned several times without editing.

  232. I was very lucky because I failed my eleven plus in 1960 and went to a brand new (only opened one year prior) secondary modern school. It was very well equipped and (for the most part) had excellent teachers. The school also still supported a boxing team which for me made the experience of school bearable. I still didn't excel academically, although at least I managed to achieve some degree of success with five 'O' levels. Grammar school would have been a disaster for me.

  233. I fear it may go the other way. It's a tactic of tyrants that let people get use to being controlled by losing liberties. It think many would be surprised how easily (often willingly) people will slide into slavery. I live in Queensland, Australia and because I'm not vaccinated, all my social and recreational freedoms have been removed including the ability to visit someone in hospital or age care facility. The government is now about to change the 'fully vaccinated' status required for a normal life, to include a third (booster) jab.

  236. If the institution of fatherhood is so weak as to be destroyed by the likes of feminine activists, then one could say it's not worth having!

She observed that I was reading a book and commented that she thought that only women read books.

  239. You're correct in your reference to the aerofoil section of a helicopter's rotor blade for 'efficient flight' but ignored the fact that the basic principle of lift is simply a result of an 'inclined plane', so you don't actually need an aerofoil to maintain flight. You may notice some aircraft can actually fly upside down (reversing the aerofoil effect). So Dawkins isn't completely wrong. I must admit though, although I generally support his 'pursuit' of religious fantasy, I found his book 'The God Delusion' rather heavy going and sometimes a bit hard to follow, ironically when he once again referred to the assembly of a Boeing 747 (I think it was).

  240.  British Brexit Confusion  If you have water in a pipe and the water freezes, it (potentially) bursts the pipe because it expands. It's therefore only rational that when it returns to a liquid state, it shrinks. This is an extract from Wikipedia on ice. "When water freezes, it increases in volume (about 9% for fresh water).[11] The effect of expansion during freezing can be dramatic, and ice expansion is a basic cause of freeze-thaw weathering of rock in nature and damage to building foundations and roadways from frost heaving. It is also a common cause of the flooding of houses when water pipes burst due to the pressure of expanding water when it freezes".

  244. I've noticed in Australia teenagers like to adopt an 'ethnic' way of speaking that seems to suggest they've just got off the boat from Athens. Some may have inherited the accent from their parents at a very young age. I can remember going to a house where a young lady who had emigrated from Liverpool and who's little boy of about three or four had a distinct 'Liverpudlian' accent.

  245.  @thomasrobert4654  I've got a whole family of toads who reveal themselves in large numbers particularly on warm wet nights. I also have regular visitations from various birds including Lorikeets, Corellas, Galahs, Doves, Crested pigeons, Peewits, Wagtails, Honey birds, Sparrows and the occasional Ibis. Growing fruit can be a difficult thing in Queensland without a lot of pest control. I grew a nice tomato vine at one stage which eventually succumbed to one sort of grub or another. A friend who lives not far from us has some residential koalas and possums which in turn attract rather large snakes.

  247. I'm pleased to say that my father was a Royal Air Force Air Traffic Controller for over twenty five years. However I'm not totally convinced about the validity of the test with geometric figures. I knew a fellow who was highly intelligent; literally got 100% results (and I'm not kidding) in mathematics tests, went on to university and had a career as a teacher. However, in an engineering drawing class, he could not understand that if you looked at a disc (say a coin) face on and tilted it away from you (or towards you, (it doesn't matter) that the vertical height decreases. So if you did a drawing from that perspective you would have an ellipse. He was actually convinced it appeared to get taller! I'd be interested in how the Welsh did in the tests. Just asking for a friend.

  250. Many years ago, I worked as an operations manager overseeing a team involved in the cleansing operations within the Brisbane City Council in Australia. One day, I received an invoice which had been passed on to me by our accounts department for me to authorise payment. It was for a drum of oil. We had no requirement to purchase oil at any stage. I simply sent the invoice back to our accounts department with a note requesting they contact the source of the invoice and establish the actual purchaser. About two months later, the same invoice arrived on my desk!

  255. So Starmer believes it's reasonable to conscript young British men to go to a war zone but provides refuge for the young men running away from that war zone. Wasn't he supposed to be cutting foreign aid so he could improve defences for Britain, or did I just miss the point!

  256. Yet when the Romans, Vikings and Normans invaded and occupied Britain bringing new technology, the people of Britain took that and advanced it further. So, I wonder what's different? I doubt if British colonialism and occupation was any more tyrannical and oppressive than the aforementioned.

  257. I sometimes wonder if it's an aspect of evolution. We are told that humans started life in the primordial 'ooze' and evolved through early primates, and now we are what we are. We therefore tend to assume that humans have all evolved at the same rate, and the propensity towards savagery only exists with a few people with mental disorders. The other day, my son mentioned that someone in the street had thrown something at his car because he came close to a youth racing a dirt bike up and down the road (illegally). I walked outside my house to see a group of people standing nearby. Just by virtue of me looking at them, it prompted a violent outburst by some Maori (I live in Australia) guy who was only stopped from assaulting me by a female member of the group. His reaction was quite disproportionate to the circumstances, and I've noticed this is a common thread with the Polynesian people who, by other estimations, are very warm and friendly people.

  258. I think people are just fed up of these self serving white man hating activists along with the largely unaccounted for billions of dollars already spent on the National Indigenous Australians Agency which is an existing advisory body to the government.

  259. I was born in Wales and emigrated to Australia (from England) in 1970 when I was nineteen. At the time, Britons and Australians were all considered British subjects and so my loyalty to my adopted country was accepted with no requirement to discard allegiance to Britain. Things changed in 1984, when British nationals were considered foreigners and as such (despite my service in the Australian Army) my loyalty to Australia was put into question to the point where I could not hold political office or be employed in customs or border security roles. By simply submitting an application form, paying some money and attending a citizenship ceremony, I am now eligible (age notwithstanding) for those roles previously unattainable!

  262. The answer to the question as to why the British government don't seem to do much about anything may was probably spelled out by Liz Truss in an interview with satirist, author, and YouTuber Konstantin Kisin when she outlined the amount of time spent in court being sued by unelected representatives of various organisations for one thing or another. Basically, the government work with it's hands tied behind it's back trying to avoid being dragged off to defend every single initiative and proposal they make. All of course supported by the best judicial system money can buy.

  264.  @Dont_Believe_them  No just a sense of a lost entitlement that we had as a result of British nationals having a sort of DeFacto dual citizenship when permanently residing in Australia. I'm not aware that I harbour any sub-conscious racist views although I probably have difficulty in being labelled a 'foreigner' when it wasn't the case when I first arrived. The security guard was actually Armenian which coincidently is the family heritage of my son in law (also RAAF) who I was assisting in helping with the kids. Anyway, after fifty two years of permanent residency, I've fixed the problem and become an Australian citizen. Interestingly, in the citizenship ceremony I had to make a 'Pledge of Allegiance', which I had already made in 1970 when I joined the Army Reserve! I guess they forgot!

  268. On several visits to a local supermarket near where I live (Queensland, Australia) I noticed that people are wearing masks into the premises as per current directives, but many people aren't using the hand sanitizer dispenser located at the entry to the premises. If it's anything like the common cold or influenza, the virus is probably more transmissible through hand to face contact than anything else.

  269.  @benitopussolini544  Yeah, I get it. My point isn't that we should all be paranoid about this. In fact, quite the reverse. My point is that if we are going to take any precautions against infection of even colds and flu, then the place to start is simply keeping your hands reasonably clean more than anything else. I don't subscribe to any of the measures inflicted on us by governments.

  270. Almost the same with me. Born in Wales and first year at school in Wales. Mother Welsh and speaking Welsh as a first language.

  273. It's the old "dog on a surfboard' approach to black people. "They don't do it very well but it's amazing that they can do it at all".

  274. It's cowardice. It's much easier to tackle an issue where there's no resistance or risk as opposed to dealing with real criminals. It's illustrated by a number of obvious things. Just look at the physical security around a police station these days. Great big steel gates, razor wire etc even though there's been no attacks on police stations. Their willingness to jump on people exercising their right to take photos from a public place and yet stand back whilst BLM scum tear down historical memorials.

  280. Britain is already on 'dangerous ground' by supplying the hardware and technological support (programming) of the highly sophisticated precision guided 'Storm Shadow' missile to the Ukranian Air Force. Typically, this weapon would be launched from an RAF 'Typhoon' (Eurofighter) jet. Apparently now being adapted to an Ukranian Su-24 "Fencer' to be seen to not be directly engaged in hostilities, this is not convincing Putin. He knows that Ukraine is not just simply receiving these weapons, sticking then under the wings of their jets and taking it from there. Putin has (probably correctly) concluded that either British or French personnel are actively involved in the delivery to their assigned targets.

  281. I think it's fairly well known that people like Francis Drake were probably only legalized pirates. Then again, so were the so called national maritime heroes on the other side.

  290. My social circles have diminished since I've been retired, and it's not a subject which has raised it's head amongst my friends or associates but I could guarantee that none of the past or present consider gender as being anything but the simple one or another. Of course that doesn't mean there's no recognition of those who find the gender they're born with, an ill fitting garment and wish to adopt one that suits; but still, only two basic models.

  293.  @davidreece1642  I guess it's important to understand that there can be good and bad uses of medicines and not just dismiss them out of hand.

I certainly don't subscribe to much of the new age bull shit which suggests that unless you're promoting some identity other than what we would consider 'normal' you're not really "with it", but the empirical evidence would suggest that Christian marriages are a bit of a failure. My parents were married in a church but never saw the inside of one again for anything other than architectural curiosity. I've had a DeFacto marriage for nearly fifty years. Out of my five children, only one got blessed by Jesus and his marriage failed after the reception!

A few years ago my own daughter was flying around in one of the last operational F-111's with the Royal Australian Air Force and now is a (feminine) wonderful, caring mother to two children. These, 'woke' lunatics just want to piss all over the milestones achieved over many years.

You only have to look at their natural muscular development and their record in physically demanding sports; particularly boxing and running. To suggest a lack of diversity (as an absence of black people) is absurd. It's more a case of white nations using black people to beat the black people from other white nations.

If you were selecting a football team or a squad for the Olympic Games, you wouldn't give two hoots about the elements of the population; you just want them to win! Same goes for the military. You need the very best when the time comes not so many, girls, blacks, Asian, etc. If they actually ARE the best, then that's fine but otherwise, they need to focus on the job in hand.

I get the feeling that there's more to it than that. There's big money to be made (by some) in war. Essentially financed by the taxpayers who bankroll the 'sporting event' for big business to make money from the hot dog and beer sales.

  325. It's understandable that police these days carry a lot more 'kit' than the traditional whistle and truncheon, but a lot of them do look more like gang members with their tattoos, half grown beards and funny haircuts. I notice that quite a few of the women (in particular) apart from being ridiculously small to be effective in any physical way, are also overweight. I live in Queensland, Australia and things like wearing head cover or clean shoes seems to be abandoned. Having said that, I should point out that my personal dealings with the police have all been positive.

  329. People still don't want to admit that bringing Muslims into a British society was a grave mistake. The Muslim mind has a different approach to life than others insofar as their willing to wreak vengeance or sacrifice themselves, family or other citizens if they get it in their head it's all for Allah. Hateful, despicable people. Fundemental Christians had the same mentality a few centuries ago but seem to have grown out of it.

I don't know if they're left or right but they just seem to be part of this 'critical race theory' or 'cancel culture' brigade. I live in Australia, and during a period of lockdown the usual gatherings of our national day of celebration were prohibited. There was however, an illegal protest march (unlike other assemblies, unchallenged by police) to 'stick it' to the colonial and imperialistic past. The protesters were nearly all white and when approached by independent news reporters, half of them didn't really know what they were there for.

  336. I think most of us have realised for some time, that the way western films depict things are far from reality. For the most part, that seems to have come to an end, simply because various groups; indigenous native Americans in particular, have objected to the portrayal of their ancestors being a hoard of whooping, scalping feathered savages battling the good guys in the white hats. After all that, why would someone deliberately start up another inaccurate version of events when we've all been awakened to the truth? Do we now have another, new truth?

I suspect it may have been targeting a specific individual or group who may have caused trouble at some point.

  343. @Sandra Fisher Coincidently 'The Dam Busters' was on free to air television where I live in Australia yesterday. As we approach Anzac Day (25th April) they tend to show all the war films. This time I only watched the tail end of it but noticed a disclaimer after the credits that basically said (paraphrasing) "The language and attitudes depicted in this film were reflective of the times and are not supported by the standards of today". By that, I suspect they still retained the original script. I've seen it a dozen times and they've always used the dog's name.

  344. Trade agreements, whether they be free or single market remind me of the old medieval arranged marriages between warring nations to secure allegiances. The degree of success of the marriage seemed irrelevant and secondary to the long term needs of others. These day I don't think it's too far off the old style trading where "You buy my sheep, and I'll make sure I elevate our defence budget and buy your military equipment". We're all to blame really.

  349. The classic film 'The Dam Busters' often appears on free to air television particularly around Remembrance Day (or Anzac Day in Australia). The film depicts actual events which occurred during the second world war. The broadcast never refrains or edits several references to the dog named 'Nigger' who in real life was a dog owned by Wing Commander Guy Gibson (portrayed by Richard Todd) who led the famous squadron on a raid on the dams in Germany.

  352. The acceptance of nationality varies quite a bit. When I was kid, my father was in the RAF and I lived and played amongst kids; many of whom had been born outside the UK during the posting of their fathers (mostly) to overseas locations. In those days, kids just assumed the nationality of their father. It seems though, only the British are criticised for attempting to specify their own ethnicity. Everywhere else seem s to demand an acceptance of the wonder and flavour of their origins.

  356.  @oliveoyle2594  Yes, although I think some of the lack of respect these days is owing to the conduct and bearing of the police themselves.

Some of them look more like members of a criminal gang.

  357. I tend to be very critical and judgmental of smokers in the same way as I view a drug addict which regular smokers actually are. Watching people who can't function for more than a matter of minutes without searching for a cigarette or going into meltdown if they run out; or their lighter doesn't work is quite pathetic. It is just beyond my comprehension why anyone would take up the habit; particularly these days when the health issues are so well documented. Having said that, I don't recollect being particularly bothered by people smoking in the pub when it was allowed.

  362. While I'm quite happy to live in an atheistic world, I refuse to subscribe to influences from Muslims, Hindus or any other delusional frame of mind. If not held dearly in religious terms, Christmas and Easter are at least traditions which bring people (children in particular) a lot of pleasure and are entrenched in British culture. It doesn't surprise me that that the Marxist LSE, founded by the 'Fabian Society', embraces this sort of divisive strategy to achieve their political goals.

  365. I emigrated to Australia from Britain fifty two year ago. At that time both Australians and British were regarded as 'British Subjects' so I was considered a sort of 'de facto citizen'. So much so that I was eligible for conscription into the Australian army for service in Vietnam along with an obligation to vote in all elections. Years later, legislation was changed so that people from the UK in permanent residency in Australia were considered foreigners and have since been required to apply for Australian citizenship to be entitled to certain privileges such as voting and working for government organisations. I'm retired now, but I recently applied for citizenship and I have to now attend a ceremony where I make a 'pledge' of loyalty to this country. Now there must be something 'nationalist' about that surely?

They believed they were descendants of the (fictional) Aryan race where any relations with non Aryans was punishable by law. You sound as though you have a bit of an 'issue' with Jews yourself. Having said that I think anyone with a nationalistic 'bent' could be seen as a little bit racist. The need to prove national superiority in sport skims over the surface of racism. You make a fair point when people believe they have a special place in God's creative mind. Of course, there are many Jews who don't believe that crap or God for that matter. I think all religions 'teeter' on the edge of racism in one form or another. I'm often appalled by quotes from religious orders.

  370. Putting aside the duplicitous tendencies of those in authority, it does make sense to amalgamate small local councils into larger metropolitan areas of local government and to do that before elections rather than after, assuming there would be some reduction in numbers of councillors. Various communities would still be represented by wards or constituencies. A larger organisational structure generally provides greater purchasing power, less duplication of administrative services and improved utilisation of resources (plant and equipment). As I'm typing this, I can hear the voice of Sir Humphrey Appleby asking, "Where do you get such dangerous and preposterous ideas?"

My ex-daughter in law's name was 'Negro'. Are these people suppose to change their names.

  378. I emigrated to Sydney, Australia in 1970. At the time Australia was encouraging (and even subsidising) migrants; particularly from Britain and other parts of Europe. The majority of non English speaking migrants seemed to be Italian or Greek who were subjected to quite a bit of racism from 'white' Australia. They were quite rightly offended by this attitude and equally correctly felt they had as much right to live here as anyone else. Their approach to immigration changed a bit when a few years later their communities were inundated with Vietnamese refugees following the end of the Vietnam war. It probably changed again for the Vietnamese immigrants when a whole pile of Muslims turned up on their doorstep!

  382. It's invariably the case that an actual in depth analysis of events during wartime reveals something different from the prevailing sentiment. This is particularly true when a popular movie expands on the issue. However I think there may also be some assumptions made by facts presented here. Radar wasn't infallible and often early warning was still left to the Observer Corps. An RAF pilot who flew in the Battle of Britain said in an interview, 'We never got them on the way in; only on the way out". The many British dominions at the time, despite their geographic size, still didn't present an abundant supply of pilots in the relatively short period available to make them effective fighter pilots. The bottom line is, that even with certain perceptions proved not accurate, there's no doubt that Britain did owe a debt of gratitude to those men.

Doesn't mean I don't accept them, like them or treat them differently other than the normal reasons why you may like or dislike someone.

I live in Australia, where, of course, Queen Elizabeth is the monarch and is also 'secular'. I've contacted our state parliamentary representative and asked the question that if we are a secular country, why are traders required to comply with restrictions based on religious (Christian) based holidays like Easter and Christmas? I was contacted by one of the minister's minions who basically accused me of suggesting that we remove public holidays.

I suppose we forget that although the United Kingdom probably has sufficient rain fall, we tend to forget that you also need the infrastructure to capture, treat and deliver it to the population. If the population levels rise quicker than the new infrastructure development, then there's a problem. Bit like the public transport system in major cities like London.

  410. Inasmuch that it's fairly natural to want to belong to a group of people, I tend to find national pride a bit of a childish delusion. One can certainly recognise the achievements made by one's own nation but to live vicariously through the accomplishments of others seems pointless. That's not to say someone shouldn't feel an affection and loyalty to their country's culture and heritage, but a feeling of 'pride' seems to be undeserved.

  419. I must admit I have always assumed that there was no difference attributed to ethnicity. I remember there was an episode of M*A*S*H where a white racist patient was told he was given black blood. He was then convinced (by doctors Pierce and McIntyre) that his skin had darkened and he had requested fried chicken and water melon for a meal.

  421. As I recall, during the last election campaign, finally getting out of the EU was a significant selling point for the Conservative Part whilst the opposition seemed to be undecided on the whole thing. In all that, apart from the money savings and more control over Britain's sovereignty the other benefit was to have more control on immigration. In theory, people like Angela Merkel can no longer welcome a whole pile of immigrants into their country then give them directions to Dover. Ministers who make these trade deals should be monitored as to exactly what their up to after they've had a few drinkypoos.

  422. I live in Australia and so many of our politicians have gone from school or university straight into the political world. Our current (Labor) Prime Minister is no exception and some years ago was asked what his goal was to which he replied, "Fighting Tories". Nothing about the betterment of the people; just the political outcome.

  424. No doubt she has an above average degree of intelligence and demonstrated academic ability. The problem is that none of it shows. She talks as though she's discovering each word of the English language as she speaks, and doesn't seem to have a grasp of the issues she's talking about. If you're a public figure, then you are subject to people's assessment based on you're presentation. She fails miserably. Probably about the worst I've seen.

  428. It's a ridiculous theory that even if the person who invented the mobile phone was in fact black that it would mean the black population has some 'ownership'. Inevitably, an invention is either sold or remains the intellectual property of the company they work for. If the inventor retained a patent on it for themselves then the credit should be obvious.

  429. The police seem to have lost a 'sense of service'. They appear to regard members of the public as the enemy. Even conducting a lawful activity such as recording from a publicly accessible place is considered 'hostile reconnaissance' with reference to terrorism. Their visible tattoos, weirdo haircuts, scruffy appearance and disregard for any sense of bearing makes them look more like gang members than policemen.

  430. Many years ago I seem to recall being made of the fact that in Russia (may have been the USSR at that time) that doctors were mainly women and were paid about the same as (or less than) a male lorry driver. I thought what a strange world they live in. With that and everything else Russia doesn't seem to be quite so......you know; whatever it is that we're not supposed to like Russia for these days.

  431. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't care if a man wanted to wear women's clothes or wanted to marry a goat because it's none of my business and of no concern. If I'm having direct contact with medical personnel who are men wearing dresses, I wouldn't be able to silence that little voice in my head that screamed 'freak'. I know that gender can be an ill fitting garment for some, but when it comes to surgery I would prefer everyone to focus solely on the job at hand.

  434. Certain quarters in Ukraine and NATO countries have made it abundantly clear that they've had a desire to weaken Russia for some years now. For Putin to sit back and do nothing about the obvious hostile intent would be his downfall. The World Economic Forum in Davos has a Ukraine pavilion highlighting the atrocities of the Russian military in contrast to Ukraine being the bastion of democracy. Does anyone know where I can buy a bag of magic beans?

  435.  @tonymccaul7159  Regrettably, I've become desensitised to the plight of people caught up in the many conflicts which have been almost omnipresent over the last fifty years. I do however have a deep distrust of the western mainstream media and the hypocrisy of governments, the moral vacuum of military suppliers and the duplicity of people who reap the benefit of investing in such companies. There is a disturbed mindset at play here which has little to do with the defence of democracy.

  436.  @phoenixobrien163  I must admit, I can't now name names but even if you don't accept that, you must surely see that all the 'movement' towards building up a strategic position in embracing former Soviet countries is fairly obvious. The flat lands from the Northern European plains stretching from Belgium, Germany, Poland to the Russian border along with the Eastern European Plains from the Arctic to the Black Sea and as far East as the Urals (via Ukraine) is an ideal scenario (used before) for large forces to reach Moscow. Now this may not seem likely to you or many others, but as far as a strategic defence concern for their military it would appear of some concern. When the 'cold war' finished NATO agreed that they would not try and induct former Soviet countries into their fold and basically that's all they've done since that time. I'm guessing everyone thinks that the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan by NATO forces was a good thing filled with humanitarian good intent?

  437. I have no doubt the BBC (just like our ABC in Australia) are completely biased and all the other stuff. However, most of us were brought up with the Anglicised pronunciations of cities around the world. It almost sounds patronising when English speaking people try to pronounce words in a manner other than the way the rest of us do. It has that 'I've been everywhere' sense to it. Anyway, when you move to Wales, you'll probably have your work cut out. I was born there and have some difficulty.

  440. If you want an immediate response from the police, just walk around in any publicly accessible place and start recording with a camera or mobile phone.

  443.  @brisbane-o-native  I wouldn't argue with much of what you said but you just couldn't resist the personal insult could you. Automatically puts you on a lower footing with any debate (if there is even one). I don't think many Australians think of Australia Day being a celebration of the massacre of Aboriginal people even if they are aware of the historical facts of colonisation. I think you're being a bit charitable by referring to the white activists as "middle class" though. Personally, I don't really care if they cancel the day or not, but what next? It seems to be a case of infinite regress. My homeland has been invaded and conquered many times through the centuries with my people subjugated and oppressed and the language forbidden to be spoken in schools until only a few decades ago. Even my parents fought for survival against invasion just a short few years before I was born. I have no axe to grind.

  444. While there are indisputable similarities, this sort of thing has been going on for decades since World War two without sliding into a global conflict. Korea, Malaya, Aden, Muscat and Oman, Suez crisis Vietnam, Bosnia, just off the top of my head. That's not even including major conflicts in the Middle East. When you think about it, we haven't stopped fighting. The big difference now is that weaponry is devastating to the point of anhialation, which probably offers some degree of caution before going 'all out'.

  445. Not sure about Pakistanis, but people from India seem to be very patriotic to Britain and often the royal family too. I live in Australia and been in at least one house of an Indian family (from the UK) proudly displaying a portrait of Her Majesty on the wall. One of the last times I visited the UK a Indian (or Pakistani) taxi driver had a photo of the Queen in his cab. He also shared quite strong views about a certain very popular princess (RIP) who he felt had been very unsuitable for the Royal Family.

  448. I don't think there's any real hope of absolute integration. We're too polarized by just about everything; so one group with black skin and other with pale skin are always going to display their loyalties. It's literally 'displaying the colours'. In Australia there's almost a war that's been carried out between the devotees (fanatics actually) of Ford and Holden (General Motors). Neither will discuss or accept the attributes of the other despite being almost the same vehicles!

  449. Ordinarily, I wouldn't have a particular problem with that. In fact I quite often hear those from other countries speaking English better than many English people. Some of the various county accents combined with the lazy speech and speech disfluency is a national embarrassment. It is however, concerning that Britain is allowing the 'box tickers' to change the face of the country by deliberately elevating the profile of minority groups to satisfy the 'woke' generation. Interestingly, I'm a British national living in Australia and I'm not allowed to be employed in a border security role or hold political office. If the guy was only nine when he arrived, he would no doubt be well entrenched into British society and may have even spoken some English before he arrived. As far as his parents are concerned, they may have been legitimate economic refugees; fleeing in anticipation of losing accumulated wealth.

However, I think it has been clearly demonstrated that virtually all British politicians have little loyalty to Britain.

  454. Why would someone feel 'angry' about something that happened that long ago. To be angry, one has to be angry at someone; so who are they angry at? The answer is of course, they're not! They're just trying to whip up the ant-white sentiment that serves their own agenda and that of the mainstream media.

  455.  British Brexit Confusion  The weight in itself isn't the issue. As I recall, there's about 9% loss of volume when water goes from ice to liquid, so it makes sense that when you consider about 90% of an iceberg is underwater, there would be about 8% less displacement when the iceberg melts.

  456. I live in Australia, and I'm wondering why our fuel prices are set to go through the roof considering we don't get our refined oil products from Ukraine. Russia, of course, has brought much of this on themselves. Former Soviet block countries can no doubt recall the tyranny of past decades and are quite happy to 'stick it' to their former masters. No doubt, these (now independent) countries have got their own little 'tin pot' dictators.

  457.  @alienlife7754  I have no desire to take pictures of your kids. This is the paranoia I'm talking about. What do you think happens when their images appear somewhere? Are they effected in any way? I'm guessing you're inferring some sort of criminal assault on someone who would actually be conducting a perfectly legal activity. I'm old now but if you tried that crap with me a few years ago and it would have been the quickest way to see the inside of an ambulance.

  458.  @bougeac  That's the typical moronic paranoid over emotional reaction from a moronic hero who safely sits behind a keyboard. So you're idea of logic is criminal assault on someone conducting a perfectly legal and legitimate activity in a public place. Make sure you pick the right guy or you may be in deeper than you think.

  459.  @basylpeterjones  Unfortunately, it's a paranoia which exists not just in cases of including children, but many other aspects too. People will tell you that you can't take photos of public buildings or that you need permission from someone or other (security guards and police seem to be the worst informed of all). I remember a time when people loved to be included in photos.

Naturally, people have to have somewhere to live and there's still quite a bit of development going on. Over the thirty one years I've lived at this location there hasn't been any appreciable loss of bird life. Obviously whatever creatures were here before been moved elsewhere but I don't have to travel too far to find them. If I drive any more than twenty minutes west of where I live at night means additional diligence in avoiding Kangaroos or Wombats. My son came home in his brand-new Toyota Corolla with the legs of a large hare sticking out of his front grill, where the impact had pushed it between the now broken plastic grill and the radiator!

  463. I could talk about this subject all day. I find myself seemingly thinking differently to just about everyone else and perceived as anything from argumentative to a 'misery guts'.

Winston Churchill said "The biggest argument against democracy was achieved by spending five minutes listening to the average voter.

  466. Don't get me wrong; I think what's being allowed to happen across the channel into England is disgusting and demonstrates an absolute failure of the British government. However we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that in some circumstances people seeking asylum have just had to leave their homeland with little or no personal possessions or documentation through no fault of their own. As long as they seek out authority and ask for asylum, they shouldn't be considered "illegal" in the same sense as the 'dinghy divers' we've come to know.

  472. There is a distinct reluctance on the part of supervisors to address standards of appearance in many organizations. They're either too cowardly, or fearful of any repercussions from claims of bullying or harassment. I managed a work group in local government and not only insisted on adherence to standards of uniform, but managed non-conformity with disciplinary measures when necessary. When I worked a bus driver, I use to cringe at the low level of pride of appearance of some drivers that went unaddressed by management.

There's probably 50% of the population who don't just not want to vote for him, but actually despise him as a person. Probably a higher percentage than that in the mainstream media. Not sure how he can work with that. Time is running out for Donald so it's now or never for him to break the mould of the crap that America has to put up with most of the time.

If we went through the archives of recent wars, we'd probably find black British nationals who have distinguished themselves and could generally be considered heroes, but what does that mean exactly.

To make one's objections to certain circumstances is exercising one's right to freedom of expression. It's interesting how people who have a desire to maintain a traditional homogeneous society in their own country are labelled "far right". That would make some if not all communist countries "far right" when they're supposed to be "far left".

It's virtually implying that black people don't do it very well, but it's amazing how they do it at all. Fortunately most kids don't pay much attention to what's in museums anyway. They'll generally only go there on a school excursion and are just happy about not being in a classroom.

It should be noted that the Governor General is Australian by convention (if not a requirement) and is a 'representative', not a 'delegate'. In 1986 The proclamation of the Australia Act was signed and brought into being by both Australian and British governments which basically removed the provision for a party to appeal against legislation in Australia through a British court.

  499. I'm not religious in any way whatsoever. Christianity has, in the past been just as cruel and oppressive as any other. However, in many secular countries the power of the churches has been moderated by democratic parliamentary laws. Islamists would have that changed to sectarian laws with our daily lives ruled by the dogma of the religion. Big mistake to underestimate that. May be appropriate to remind Christians that we haven't forgotten them either; particularly in the influence of the catholic church in poorer countries.

  502. There is an unbelievable lack of performance accountability for these ministers. They give assurances with no indication of how they will achieve their targets and no plausible explanation of the failure to succeed. I was a middle manager in local government with only recognised prior learning and experience as a qualification for the role. I was responsible for the resources and finances of an operational work unit. Every month I had to provide a detailed written financial report accounting for the results, good or bad. I was also required to stand up in front of my regional manager and peers and verbalise the content explaining why the results were what they were. This included reconciling the forecast I had made the previous month. These politicians just respond to questions by not answering questions.

  503. I was born in the small Welsh town of Cardigan (Ceredigion) in West Wales in 1950. The main street divides the town in two parts that historically, separated the very poor from the more affluent. The poor area was, and still is known as the Mwldan. When I was a kid, it was still considered the 'rough' area. I read a book called 'Last of the Mwldans' written by a man who grew up there sometime between the first and second world wars. He describes how women use to have knife fights in the streets of the surrounding slums as he watched from his bedroom window.
