  1. I just changed the title of the topic and that meant I went back to page 1. Wow, opinions certainly changed by page 2
  2. Take it with a pinch of salt as possible propaganda but these numbers are horrific
  3. His approval rating has generally been improving since July last year

    Imperialism

    Just to add to this point, the Falklands may be closest to Argentina but they are also much further than the 200 nautical mile limit that is the internationally recognised convention for an exclusive economic zone.
  5. Just as bad when you search for something you want to buy, buy it and... yep. It's an utterly useless advertising model
  6. This topic is about Ukraine and Russia at war. You want to talk about something else, either do it in an appropriate topic or if one doesn’t exist, start a new one.
  7. My mate Steve, will be gutted, he was his absolute hero
  8. I'm not sure pheasants ever had much in the way of brains, I really don't think its something that has been bread out of them
  9. Hmmm not really, Communism tends to come in via a revolution, fascism through the ballot box Now I agree with you on the extremes and that they should be avoided but Communisn rarely creeps in gently
  10. Refuse Collection is a large cost, yes
  11. You know who is REALLY responsible for that? Clue: It's not the council
  12. Everyone deserves a payrise, every year unless inflation is negative
  13. How would you feel if someone said you'll never get a pay rise again and in fact due to inflation, your wages will go down every year? That's what you just wished on every council employee
  14. You realise the rises are below the rate of inflation and that people work for the council The cap isn't designed to be anything other than a limit on what councils can do, it's a restraint without it, you'd be paying more
  15. Dumbest birds ever. The fields by ours are full of them. Lovely to look at but totally thick as mince
  16. The war won't end until the Ukrainians decide they are sick of their own losses or Russia leaves. There are only two countries that can end it. Russia by leaving or Ukraine by giving in. Being as Russia wanted to wipe Ukraine off the map, Ukraine aren't anywhere near wanting to end it and it's highly doubtful they ever will be until Russia is off their territory
  17. Russia leaves Ukraine inc Crimea. There is only Ukraine that can decide when they are happy for peace talks And they have consistently stated that Russia must leave all Ukrainian territory
  18. It could be worse that that if Ukraine can manage to punch a hole right through Wagner. Russia will have to rapidly move in troops from other defence lines in a sustainable position, it could weaken a good chunk of that front. The blame game will then become much more severe for Wagner then.
  19. Back in the student days in the Student Union, there was this magical mechanical wall that we could separate the main big hall from the bar area with. So the wall was down unless there was an event on. Bill Tidy once drew a massive cartoon on this wall, it was much loved by everyone and we were always really careful with it, it had been there a good number of years After I'd left, one summer, the University decided to paint the inside of the Student Union You guessed it, they painted over the cartoon the absolute knobs
  20. The only thing the Lineker episode was a distraction from was Sunak attempting to resurrect the Tories and his flagging position in the polls. Unfortunately his own dogs of war put paid to that. As for the funding issue, nice to see you parroting the Tory agenda
