That would be like the raves and parties that went on during Lockdown? The truth, I thought at the time, was a lot different. A few Downing St staff, having worked many hours away from home on the issues of the pandemic, were invited to small gatherings for a drink and nibbles. That was it...

It is well documented that the landings took place, that equipment from the landings still exist on the surface of the Moon, that mirrors lefr behind are still used to reflect laser instruments that continually maeasure the distance of the Moon from the Earth and the odd camera. Since that time...

I think that, just as there are people in the world who are inspired, creative, motivated and organised, there are also people who don't have any of those characteristics and/or have negative characteristics which leaves them flat, bored, disorganised and not motivated in any direction. We...

You said - If there's a theory and proof of that theory, then it's a fact. Not quite. It just means that the proof may or may not be true. Science is fact only for as long as it takes a new theory to arrive, The atomic theory of electronic particles being a prime example. What I was taught at...

But successful economies benefit the poor. With economic growth comes more business bringing more employment. More employment brings in more income tax VAT and it decreases the benfit dependency. Businesses pay taxes too; the largest ones paying more than the rest of us put together. Those...

No, they weren't. That's one fallacy too far...

It's lucky for us Brits that we speak the International language then. Those 'old fogies' you mentioned are financially secure and require no aid or benefits from the local economy.

Derek, I accept your comments. or rather, I accept that your comments are yours, and won't be altered by any argument. So, we part the ways and keep our own views and observations. We'll both watch the future with interest. Me, from a neutral stance and you with yours. The future will dictate...

Indeed. The US has interests all over the world with bases in strategic locations.

Sorry Derek. I stand by my comments and believe them to be true. That the UN agreed a state for the Jews, on land set out for them, they have continued to, illegally, occupy land outside of their designated area. Land which, although not designated as a state itself, was/is occupied by people...

And so the pot is stirred and conflict between Middle-Eastern tribes continue.s

And then, the West better look out...

Hmm...Not quite accurate there, Derek. Israel have been land-grabbing since 1950. They have forceably taken other peoples' land for themselves and killed people in the process. They patrol other peoples' land without consent. They have broken international laws and they push on, relentlessly...

I don't think observational comments are anti-Semitic. My opinions are just what I have read, seen and heard over the past 50 years. I do feel that Israel the problem in the Middle East and a problem that has a lot of support from the West for the wrong reasons. That's not anti-Semitic either...

I would say that it's because there are more Jews in the US than Israel that the US supports Israel. The financial clout and influencial pressure means that no government would argue. However, we all know that if the Middle East continues its tribal/religious bickering, the West remains safer...

Interesing comment, Jacob. But, I would say that no individual is going to start tearing into tradesmen while carrying out an inspection unless he's bigger than any of them. That would be fraught with dangers, mostly physically but certainly confrontational. There is a possibility, of course...

Well, there's the fact that we are talking about benefit misuse, and the other fact that Starmer is, he says, going to clamp down on benefit cheats which indicates that there's a problem. No government will ever eliminate benefit fraud but they cound keep it down to a level that doesn't affect...

That's an interesting observation. Human intelligence may not have changed much, though I would query that, but children now learn more at an earlier age that those 20 years older. It is not intelligence that passes exams, it's memory and access to higher education that makes the difference. I...

Well said, mate. On the nose, as they say.
