"The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?" ~

The answer to that is simple.. The US would veto any UN military action against Israel as they support, fund and arm the Israelis. Many Americans, especially Republicans, believe this is all part of the second coming of their messiah who is about to come down from heaven and run the world from Jerusalem... and I kid you not! 🤨

Joseph Goebbels proved that using propaganda can get anyone elected - or even win a vote like Brexit! Quote: "There was no point in seeking to convert the intellectuals. For intellectuals would never be converted and would anyway always yield to the stronger [biggest number], and this will always be "the man in the street." Arguments must therefore be crude, clear and forcible, and appeal to emotions and instincts, not the intellect. Truth was unimportant and entirely subordinate to tactics and psychology." ~ Joseph Goebbels

Typical 'in-depth' report from Laura Kuenssberg #BBC - the EU and UK are rapidly ramping up the arms industries in Europe and the one thing they are going to need is a lot of is steel - but no mention of that! Then she rabbits on about replacing the blast furnaces with electric ark furnaces showing complete ignorance of steel making. It is not possible to make steel with electric arc furnaces - they just melt down existing scrap steel. Although Sweden is developing and new method, large amounts of steel can only be made in blast furnaces. - ffs this woman is paid £330.000 a year for this ignorance!

Especially in USA where they administer anti-biotics to beef cattle as a routine whether they need it or not.

Political Parties can't take another over - they are not PLC's.

It's obvious that the 'British Problem' is that private companies are poorly managed and poorly financed - that makes their profits inadequate to fund both themselves and pay enough taxes to fund everything they gain from being in the UK.

Far and away the biggest problem with housing in the UK is that since the late 60's people have been brainwashed into thinking of their home as a financial investment, not somewhere to live. Banks and builders have jumped on this bandwagon resulting in the whole economy being skewed by investments going into driving property prices up instead of into industry and the wealth generators - it has never been sustainable and we are now seeing the inevitable results. 🤔

It's no coincidence that the most difficult area in LG. is social services... the reason for this is that many services that used to be the remit of the NHS, Social Security, Police and Dept. of Education were transferred to Local Authorities by the Tories over the past 14 years... but the funding did not follow. LA's were told to fund them from Council Taxes. The classic being care of the elderly in the community. 🤨

True - but it was a chap called Isaac Newton who defined the science methodology...!

Farmers can use a tractor on the highway but only to move from one field to another - what they can't do is travel to London or anywhere else using red diesel and having no road tax. The fine for this is astronomic and HMRC can bill them for past use of red diesel assuming all the miles the tractor has done in the past were illegal. I have been stopped a couple of times and had my tank dipped by HMRC staff as I drive a diesel car - I was legal though.
