  1. Terribly sad news, Deepest sympathy for Michael's family. It's SO bloody easy to make a casual misjudgement and over reach your endurance. A few years back I was on holiday in Portugal. We were on the beach at Praia de Falecia under a hired sunshade for the afternoon. Bit of swimming.... bit of sunbathing... but not being as much of a sun worshipper as my wife, I decided to go for a walk along the beach as there was a light breeze on a warm day.... it was beautiful, and I hadn't a care in the world. I'd walked for just over an hour in the direction of Faro with the sun behind me, when I thought, I'd best turn back. As soon as I turned around and walked for a minute I realised that the sun was BLISTERINGLY hot, inspite of my sun hat and light summer clothing, I'd drank two thirds of my water, and there was a stretch of beach probably a mile and a half where there was nobody and no facilities that I then had to traverse. I'm NOT stupid, I'm a resourceful, strapping six footer, I've served a full 30 years as a frontline fireman and KNOW well the symptoms of heat stress, syncope & stroke, and I very quickly realised I was in trouble, but suffice to say I made it back to where my wife was starting to worry about me, and when she saw me she knew that I'd taken a beating off the sun.... even through my hat the skin of my forehead had blistered and had started to bleed, I had stopped sweating and was bone dry, and I was also, according to her, more than slightly "incoherent". If I had not been on a beach where I had only to determinedly follow the waterline to return to my starting point, and instead been on a featureless, barren, rocky landscape such as that that Michael appears to have inadvertantly stumbled into and traversed then I think I may well have succumbed the same way that he and many others over the years have sadly done. Its how a beautiful sunny day with family can unexpectedly slip into a fatal tragedy, because of a simple misjudgement. It is SO easy to underestimate the conditions, overestimate your own endurance, and if you have no awareness of the symptoms of the onset of heat stroke, then your thinking and judgement processes VERY quickly become impaired. I can see that is EXACTLY what has happened to unfortunate Mr Mosley. It does surprise me somewhat that with his apparently deep understanding of the human body & it's inner workings that he was not more self aware of the danger he was stumbling into. Once again, deepest sympathy and condolences to Michael's family.

  2. One of the positives I've taken after reading so many inane and disrespectful comments in these threads is the number of very decent Greek citizens passing on their heartfelt condoloences. Best wishes to your beautiful country & people from the UK.

  3. I've had the opposite problem in the past. Driving in my car (at the speed limit) I turned into a road and was confronted with another unmarked car travelling in the same direction but crawling along at walking speed and veering into the kerbside and then out into the middle of the lane several times, when it was safe to do so I overtook the vehicle only to immediately be pursued (at the speed limit) by the vehicle flashing its main beams repeatedly at me and twice beeping its horn. I carried on to my house which was a few hundred yards away and as I pulled up to reverse into my drive was stopped from doing so by this idiot in the other car pulling up right behind me. I got out to ask him to move from my driveway and was confronted by what I can only describe as a power crazed inadequate in an ill-fitting PCSO outfit complete with paramilitary stab jacket that looked as if he'd borrowed it off his dad. He and his disinterested "oppo" who spent the next 10 minutes messing with his mobile phone (probably playing "Crossy road") attempted to intimidate me for having safely overtaken him. Needless to say 10 minutes later he drove off sheepishly after not having received the trembling submission he'd expected, instead having been given the "Hairdrier treatment". Where do they get these inadequates from?

  4. Better dying doing something you love that at the end of a long chronic illness, or because of war or famine.

  10. Did we trust him? I don't know about you, I made my OWN informed choice and decided against the sniffles jab nonsense, but regardless of his advice he still appeared to be a decent human, the type who wouldn't gloat over the tragic death of another person.

  11. Because he didn't want to? Next !!!

  12. He never set off from his accomadation "alone"... he was with his wife and a married couple who were friends. Some older people find it completely comfortable to exist without carrying their own personal tracker device with them everywhere they go. Unfortunately in this case it would indeed have provided a means of contact.

  13. Not all of us got "jabbed"... I put my own GP'sphone number on my phone block list to stop the winter sniffles BS txts, and Ain't I glad I did !!!!

  14. Why do SO many un or mis informed people THINK they know that Mr Mosley "had no water" "had no hat" (but was instead shown to be using an umbrella that covered his ears and shoulders as well as his head), and that he "hadn't told his wife where he was going"? I wish more people knew the old phrase, better to keep quiet and be thought stupid than to talk complete BS and remove all doubt !!!

  15. Danny la Rue, Hinge and Bracket and pantomime dames have a LONG tradition. But NO-ONE was EVER coerced into pretending that they were REALLY women. People are free to pretend whatever they like. Tomorrow I might want to pretend to be a banana, and find like minded people who pretend to be apples and oranges so we can all jump into a large glass fruit bowl, Who cares !!!! But the pretence starts and ENDS with the individual, if other people want to join in the pretence, thats ok, but if the majority do NOT want to join in, that's also VERY cool !!!!

  17.  @MatthewYoung-nn7ek  No "judgement" required, young Matthew, the inanity is self evident. Try not to get so stressed, you'll pay the price when you get older.

  22. How do you know that he didn't?

  23. He wasn't "Hiking". He attempted to take a short walk back to his accomodation, underestimated the conditions, and overestimated his endurance. A simple but tragic misjudgement.

  25. Another little empire falls.... Philip "Ozymandias" Schofield bites the dust, just as ALL over inflated behemoths eventually do, whether they be in sport, the media, political parties or indeed nations & empires. Its that one immutable truth that gives me hope that the corporate globalist hegemony currently grabbing power across the world will eventually fall to back biting, in-fighting, egos and power struggles. I probably won't be here to see it, but I think beyond my own lifespan, and it does keep my spark of hope for mankind alive and kindling.

  26. Glad someone else possesses the critical faculties to be able to spot the utter BS reported by the MSM in the absence (and sometimes presence) of hard facts.

  31. Well done, doing your own research and not just swallowing the BS that the MSM regurgitate for consumption by the unthunkers. They've gotta get the "global warming" angle into this somehow. According to the MSM I'm surprised more people don't just spontaneously combust when on holidays in sunny climes nowadays.

  42. NO, he suffered heat stroke, became confused & disorientated, took a wrong turn into an unforgiving barren, rocky landscape in blistering hot heat, and succumbed to extreme dehydration.

  43. Let's all agree that everyone is freely entitled to pretend to be whatever they want to be... but the pretence starts and ends with them, unless others individually choose to join in with the pretence of their own free will. But If they DON'T want to join in with the pretence, then that's also cool.

  45. Jesus... I studiously avoided "the jab" and after 60 years find little to trust in the political establsihment anymore, but yet the level of plain idiocy in so many people never fails to surprise me.

  46. Don't mistake childlike, juvenile "reporting" for some evil cover-up. Aging man made an ill-advised judgement call, suffered disorientation from heat stroke and blundered into a featureless, barren landscape, he made for the nearest habitation that he came upon but succumbed to dehydration on the threshold of sanctuary. "Occam's razor". Sincerest condolences to Mr Mosley's family.

  47. What do you call a bearded individual with "meat and two veg" in a Laura Ashley Frock? A Man. If I saw him walk into the ladies toilets behind my wife he'd be getting dragged out on his arse.

  48. The cost to the public purse has been MILLIONS spent on this search that could have been spent elsewhere. IF people want to do activities like this, which I VERY much believe they should be able to, they and their family should be made to sign a disclaimer waiving search and rescue at ENORMOUS cost to the taxpayer.

  52.  @balticstain7150  How do you know he "didn't take a hat or water"? Did Michael's wife make a video statement stating such? Or have you just read it in the thickheaded MSM? What about having an umbrella to shade himself? That keeps the sun off his head, ears and shoulders !!!

  55. More misinformation spread by gutter MSM. Idiotic, juvenile "journalists" trying to find an "angle" on the story to make it more interesting.... "found in a complex of caves known to locals as "The Abyss" " FFS I ask you how OLD are these idiot hacks? 12?

  56. ALL mainstream western political parties (not just in the UK) are now bankrolled and controlled by corporate globalism (Want to impose corporate taxes on us? We'll move our operations elsewhere if you do). National governments and establishments have over the last 30 years been subverted from within, with political appointments of previously unheard of figures to do as their corporate paymasters tell them (Whatever happened to Danny Alexander, just where did Leo Varadkhar "pop up" from? & why is the UK Archbishop of Canterbury a former city corporate banker? Etc Etc), while still giving out the appearance of being democratically elected parliaments & public serving bodies. They have effectively become a globalist puppet theatre to keep the masses hoodwinked that its all just "business as usual" in the world of politics while the reality is that political control has been usurped from publicly elected servants by publically elected servants from a globalist sponsored and financed shortlist. We've had years of "centrism", that reasonable, hard to argue against, political mis-selling that comprimise, and adherence to the "centre ground" is the best policy. What is growingly apparent is that in practice it means that when all political parties are singing from the same "hymn sheet", you've inevitably turned your society into a "brook no dissent", "alternative ideas not welcome" dictatorship. Its why governments across the western world have been able to crush civil liberties and destroy western democracy with such ease, wholly supported by the same globalist MSM to keep the populace frightened by "plandemics", "climate crises" and other contrived rubbish, without ANY organised opposition to challenge and question the ongoing narrative. Now the full might of their geo politics is turned against Russia. A Russia ruled by an unarguably dangerous & wily political operator, who will not bend to their oversight. In 1989 the forces of NATO (the NORTH ATLANTIC treaty organisation) patrolled the borders of the Warsaw Pact (Soviet backed forces), through Germany and down to eastern Italy. Its ships patrolled the eastern Med, and the Norwegian Sea. Fast forward 30 years, and we have NATO tanks carrying out exercises along the Russian border in the Baltic states and Ukraine, and Globalist controlled NATO naval forces now operate in the Black sea and on the threshold of the Kara sea, all enabled because now most eastern European countries are governed by the same globalist financed political parties that have conquered the west. That means that "NORTH ATLANTIC treaty organisation" forces are now operating a further 1000 miles eastwards away from the North Atlantic that they have EVER been. And yet we're supposed to believe that its Russia that is getting territorially avaricious? The whole of what as happened over the last 30 years is of such Orwellian evil, its hard not to believe that globalism intends to shackle us into a 1984-esque future..... and the mouthbreathing "hoi-polloi" are too busy worrying about "winter sniffles" and "wind and rain".

  58. You're making the mistake of actually taking notice of the BS that clueless juvenile "journalists" write. For instance how often has it been "reported" today that "his body was found in a complex series of caves, known to locals as "The Abyss""? When the first report of his body being found was CLEARLY stated to have been made from a boat several meters off the shoreline at Agia Marina? How exactly would his body be spotted from a boat in the water if it was down a cave known as "the Abyss"? Or that Mr Mosley was "walking to the centre of the island", which he NEVER was. The answer? The media, in the absence of hard facts (and quite often even in the PRESENCE of hard facts), talks absolute BS.
