Fair comment, the usual mission creep has set in. Apologies. Harris at least seems to be pretty secure as the Democratic candidate, and the money seems to be pouring in for her campaign. Can she beat Trump, I would like to think so but my head says probably not. If only there was a better...

Can you imagine what would happen to Israel if the relative firepower were reversed? We can debate till the cows come home the rights and wrongs of the establishment of the state of Israel. What is very clear is that the Arab states tried very hard to destroy the country on a number of...

A pretty daft comparison, or self defeating if you prefer. The French resistance did well because their objectives, of resisting the occupation of their country, was supported by the majority of the population, who I dare say considered the sacrifices worth it in pursuit of that perfectly...

Ah so that's what Hamas were doing in October by killing unarmed civilians including women and children, they were defending themselves? I suppose they have been defending themselves for years by firing countless thousands of rockets at Israel over the years. Weapons that are incapable of any...

Fair one, although Trump is just so revolting that I couldn't help it.

No fan of NATO either. Wether his posturing about that is serious, or just intended to get other members to actually honour their obligations remains to be seen, but if I were in Zelenski's shoes I would be worried.

Will be interesting to see what comes out of the current Chinese talks. China have been pushing for Hamas to formally recognise Israel's right to exist, and to renounce violence. If they could accomplish that it would be pretty significant, not least in enhancing China's position on the...

I see Trump is already whining about the money he has spent campaigning against Biden now he has withdrawn. No doubt his fans will cough up yet more for the campaign against Harris. Perish the thought that it should be about policies rather than personalities. Personally I would love to see her...

I buy quite a lot of stuff from the US, Jeep bits and American clocks and watches. E Bay's global shipping program always seems to work well, as does the USPS. Other couriers can be a nightmare.

I actually have one exactly the same, good piece of kit.

I would have thought the view from anyone with a bit of common sense is that it is far too early to tell.

The Israelis have always tended to push the relationship with the US as far as possible, their current government being worse than most. That is why it is so important for the President to slap them down when they get out of line, since the US is really the only country that can exercise any...

However much we might criticise Biden over Gaza, quite rightly in my view, I suspect Trump will be far worse, he has frequently made comments about saving Israel from the barbarians etc, and we know his views on Muslims in general.

I suspect he is a decent enough man to step aside in the hope they can find someone with a better chance of beating the Mango Moron. In all honesty why anyone would want to take on that job at his age, let alone sign up for another term, is quite beyond me.

The arrangement of the strips in this picture looks very odd, particularly the random board with a square end. This was what made me think it was AI generated.

But of course, and in his socialist Eutopia we would no doubt all be expected to genuflect before the state provided statue of the supreme leader, presumably good old Jezza, and have his picture hanging on the wall, on pain of being sent off to be re-educated. I wonder if Jacob himself would get...

So now it is an essential service ? Could it possibly be that you have contradicted yourself Jacob, surely not.

Mine are aluminium. Fitted to the tailstock of a couple of lathes and had no problem with them. As I said mine are the type with no reader on the scale, just a lead that you plug into the remote head. Only problem I can see using them on the cross slide would be how to stop them getting covered...

Are you sure it's not the usual AI generated imagery. Look at the image of the interior and how none of the "boards" meet up properly.

My first though too. I have a M&W one which certainly isn't treated as well as it probably deserves but is 30+ years old and as good as new. How sure are you it is genuine.
