Strangely enough, I vaguely remember the appeal but didn't know this was the outcome. Good riddance to a vile monster.

This is another concern, the legal system is being weaponised in the west. The new hate speech laws in Scotland for instance. As for Trump, is he guilty of offences, I have an open mind to that. I do believe the level of scrutiny and particularly the timing of some of the legal cases is a very obvious attempt by the democrats to scupper Trumps attempts at the presidentcy.

While I don't agree with everything you say there, I think you understand my points and your right that the rise of people like trump, farage, le Penn and others like in the Netherlands is surely the start as politics gets more polarised.

I worry about the wider issue of where this is heading. The entire west seems hell bent on dragging its citizens into a situation where hurt feelings matter more than the truth, racism and sexism is rife with so called positive action giving jobs to people based on gender (whatever that even is these days) and race over ability, illegal immigrants some of which don't share the native populations beliefs of freedom, equality and peace and they're being prevented from speaking out or stopping it by the banning of free speech as appears to have happened at this conference. The parallels of Nazi Germany after the unfair treaty of Versillies was forced on its population after ww1, where they were blamed and forced to pay for issues that weren't soley their fault is not lost on me and if this sort of maffia type behaviour by arms of the state continues across the west, I fear what evil could raise its ugly head as subjugated everyday people finally have enough.

Just wow. What an amazing country the USA is, vast with so many differing landscapes 🇺🇸👌

A very well made point Gordon.

Im not a mean spirited person and I don't believe the average Brit is either, but we can't look after the whole world and we're not responsible for it either. I would say a government that looks after the interests of a privileged few and those who contribute less than nothing to society before its own citizens is far worse, which is exactly what's happening now. Pensioners should be protected, they have built what we have today and I think it is rightly each generations responsibility to look after those who have contributed most of their life and now deserve their time before it's up.they should certainly be looked after before those arriving on our beaches who have yet to contribute anything. I think the people of this country have been very clear with what they want and even clearer on what they don't. Our political class refuse to deliver it.

Massively cut beuracratic process, shrink government institutions, get rid of the echr, lower taxation to improve growth, stop fraudulent benefits, build lots of prison space but cut back on so called rehabilitation and other nonsensical wastes of money, warehouse repeat offenders cheaply. Restart apprenticeships and force large companies to train up UK citizens instead of importing cheap migrant labour. Stop illegal immigration by returning them to France the moment they arrive. Create a 2 their NHS, those that have contributed get a much better service than those who refuse to work. What stops this very basic and common sense type answers are the same people who refuse to implement the common sense solutions to stop illegal immigration, they harp on about human rights, while forcing UK citizens into a life of virtual slave labour, where they are forced to pay into a system that they and their children will never see the benefit of and live in relative poverty, while the elites of society who have caused it and see the financial benefits from it, pat each other on the back and congratulate themselves on how virtuous they are.

Why are you labeling it right wing? Is it right wing to worry about your children's chance of owning a house, our NHS going down the pan, huge debt being racked up, the country's security, buckling infrastructure? I could go on and on. Your solution seems to be to build a pyramid scheme out of people many of which that don't share our values.

To be honest, that sums it up very well. You don't need to be Einstein to see it's simply not sustainable or good for the vast majority of the country.

Why do you think half the world should have the right to tip up on our beaches and be entitled to housing, money and health care, particularly when it is expressly against the wishes of the vast majority of the country?

Absolutely and it has been being called for illegals arriving here to be immediately removed back to France for a very long time. It is only rubbished by those with an agenda who clearly don't want to stop the boats from coming. There are very clearly multiple problems to overcome, the problems the USA face with their border is obviously different to ours. The fact we are an island makes it very easy to control our border, the only thing in the way is a lack of political will and a failure of our elected governments of both colours to deliver what has very clearly been voted for, over many decades.

Does that include the people who have watched the uncontrolled migration to this country that has helped to contribute to the utter mess we find ourselves today?

I find it interesting your outrage is with Dave g rather than potential fraudsters, your silence on the issue on this thread says alot.

Apparently 2 IDF officers have been sacked over the strike for a failure of command.

Can't disagree with that Scully.

I think the Israelis hitting that convoy is bang out of order. I don't think it was a case of mistaken identity, they obviously believed (mistakenly or otherwise) it was being used to cover terrorist movement/activity. I'm guessing they made a conscious decision to hit it, firing first and asking questions later. I don't believe it was simply collateral damage after careful consideration based on honest belief after looking at intel, but more a case of making a strike and stuff the consequences, knowing full well the likelihood of innocents killed.

Surely not! Not the glorious EU, they would never allow that, it is the UK that's the bad guy, remember, we needed the EU to keep the evil, corrupt, UK regime in check 😂😂😂

😂👍

Forgot to say, I replied 😜

Absolutely, it's another uncomfortable truth that certain factions don't want to acknowledge, let alone discuss!

According to the UN The world’s population is expected to increase by nearly 2 billion persons in the next 30 years, from the current 8 billion to 9.7 billion in 2050 and could peak at nearly 10.4 billion in the mid-2080. Unless everyone wants to live in 15 minute city's and eat bugs for the rest of their miserable lives, there are two options, 1 we accept climate change which will become more and more severe until population is reduced naturally by natural selection. 2 We limit population growth, the easiest way to do that in the west is preventing illegal migration. After that's happened, perhaps then we can take a sensible look at serious rewilding.

Absolutely not, therefore rewilding is going to have to wait. Well which is it? Apparently the planet can't sustain the current situation, rising demand for energy, unsustainable intensive farming, climate change ect. If all that's true, we need less people.

The biggest problem I see and one that never gets mentioned, is the massive over population of humans, I'm all for rewinding, but that could only come after the UK's population was at least cut in half, more so near to the areas that were to be rewilded.

Appoliges for the confusion, I assume they've stopped being able to proactively shoot bears for peoples safety and not banned shooting a bear in self defence.
