Isn't what Chris is doing the diametrical opposite to "virtue signalling"? For my understanding - Chris would appear to be the type to want to retain statues (own your history to ensure it serves as a lesson to the future) and to ensure that we keep the explanations of where the money...

I agree - I see that there is thought and analysis going on in the background and i appreciate his input - regardless whether I agree or don't - and sometimes it is a persuading point of view (y) Some really thoughtful posts and individuals on this site - and very satisfying to contribute to it.

LOL - winging it is my ONLY method of operation - no matter how much planning precedes the job. Solely on account of dynamically rescuing either a poor plan or poor workmanship. Normally both. 🤡

All that this says is that you prefer to invent something than to believe the simplest explanation. I'll stick with the known facts, thanks, rather than your conjecture. ymmv.

Which they clearly did do - but when even the officials didn't know - because they had been unlawfully kept in the dark - the answer is that there was surprises that no amount of "due diligence" would have uncovered. (I've posted the quotation previously by the head of OBR attending the Select...

I have an old cheapo sander that I've used for years and is still OK (for now!) - but I've never used dust extraction up until recently, when I bought a fairly inexpensive shop vac - an Evolution R15 - and find that this is a good partner for the old cheapo sander - especially with the in-line...

Fact check. This is 100% untrue. Yes. I do. And I'm sad for you. Although what you appear to label as "opinion" is often not an "opinion" and can be directly refuted through simple counting. See fact check above. Nobody is denigrating you. There is no name calling or personal insult...

You obviously didn't take on board what I wrote. Any of it. I understand your POV and that is why it is your POV that is being criticised - and not you - I'm categorically not "having a go at you" - instead I'm establishing that your POV is often worthy of either fair and equitable criticism...

I've already posted why the claim "Biden did this to mess with Trump" is untrue.

Posted anything about Starmer lately? In a thread that has nothing to do with Starmer? At least this thread is about Trump... I don't believe you are in any position to ask anyone to give it a rest. In fact, if you had just a teensy weensy bit of self awareness, you'd have to agree.

Bwahahahahahahaha. I changed my mind. I'm definitely laughing *at* you for writing that utter fantasy.

I don't think anyone is attacking 'you' (unlike yourself, being insulting of other folks... ) It is your opinion and view which is being, quite rightly, assassinated, for being incoherent, lacking substantiation, and for being shallow and superficial. There is a difference. I don't...

Ah yes, the good old "I think I know how this works better than the experts, which empowers me to be skeptical about what the experts are saying " story. Got it.

You misunderstand. The mechanisms shown by graphs that depict global average temperature and concentrations of atmospheric gases (CO2 amongst the) and solid particulate (ash particulate in the main), during those geological cyclical changes the graph traces have always followed a consistent...

Oh goodie, a word association game! Inadequacy? Maybe the old git down your local is an wise oracle that deserves better. Maybe not, maybe he just does like the sound of his own voice. Or maybe he's an opinionated a'hole? Wait, it isn't Faraj, is it? Loves his, own voice and is an...

As a rule, I hate to use the word thick and desperately try to avoid it. However, in this case, the following certainly holds true: The "least well educated" voted in larger proportion for Brexit. (That doesn't itself mean that "least well educated" equates to being thick - this is something...

Second sentence is not really substantiated by the body of scientific evidence. The simplistic view of cyclical change is a convenient truth to "hide behind". All of the best lies contain just a grain of truth and this is no exception. For the first time in recorded history the cyclical...

More evidence of thinking in a vacuum. Trump is not at all interested in the welfare of his country. He is categorically not interested in the welfare of the majority of the people living there, for a start. He is only interested in his wealth and his power. Possibly the wealth and power of...

Except that you haven't brought anything to the discussion which refutes anything that I've referred to - which brings into question the "ideological pygmy" reference. As I've said several times - and this is an observation given politely - you are wilfully insulting - with absolutely no...

LOL - I was over Brexit before it was voted - just to hold a referendum meant devaluing the measure of honesty and integrity. It is that point that I will never get over. And neither should I, or anyone else for that matter. That people prefer to be fed lies and accept them willingly, without...
