    AUKUS...

    News this morning that Biden has offered Johnson an opportunity to join NAFTA, before a bilateral trade deal is agreed. The Mail is deriding it as putting us on the same level as Mexico. What's wrong with that ? NAFTA is a free trade agreement between the US, Mexico and Canada. I see it as a way of getting a trade deal with America without waiting for the US-EU deal, which could take years. "Real Politik" at work ! Cheers.

    H.MS. Conquerer flies the Jolly Roger; Cheers.
  4. Home made liver pate'; Lambs liver, garlic, shallot, chilli, black pepper and sea salt. Cheers.
  5. I always respect and try to understand other people points of view, but I'm really struggling with Wilfs outlook on this particular subject. I agree that the government should be helping to insulate homes, and they ARE, o.k., perhaps they could do more. So I have sympathy with the cause, but not the method. The protesters are doing this to gain attention to their cause, but all it's doing is putting innocent lives in danger and attracting bad publicity. Evidently 70% af people agree with the sentiment, but strongly disagree with the action. Also, the "parent" organisation,
  6. Wilf, you seem to be completely missing the point ! Im sure most people sympathise and agree with the aims of the protesters, but not with their method of protest. Id have far more sympathy and even respect for them if they ran in front of government cars, glued themselves to the Prime Ministers plane, chained them selves to Downing Street gates, etc. As it is, I reserve my sympathy for the woman who is still in hospital following the pile up, and the old woman who is paralysed because her son couldn't get her to hospital in time because of the protest. You support their ca
  7. I'm not a mind reader Wilf ? The government DOES have schemes to insulate homes, as well as install more efficient boilers, thermostatic radiator valves, etc. People get financial help, and if you are on benefits, it's free ! Cheers.
  8. Exactly the same, the jockey that might get killed may just be a supporter of your cause. Why not target the people you blame, rather than innocents, and harm your cause ? Cheers.
  9. Yes, they want the government to insulate all public housing. Cheers.
  10. They are using a new tactic this morning; running in front of moving traffic on the M25 to make them brake. This looks, to me, like a deliberate attempt to cause accidents. Now, I don't mind if a few of them get flattened, but what about the drivers that may hit them ? It could ruin their lives, but hey, what does that matter to these lunatics, as long as they get the attention they crave....... Cheers.

    I've thought for years that we should have given more weight to relations with the Anglophone world, and the Commonwealth, than to the EU. It looks like it is now happening. Cheers.

    When I returned to THL after a seven year hiatus, I promised myself I would avoid argument and confrontation, and I would treat people with the respect I expect to get myself. BUT, I reserve the right to treat people, ( both domestic and foreign), who refuse to accept a democratic vote, with the contempt I feel they deserve ! ? ! Cheers.

    Kim is a UK hating troll. He cannot get over the fact we left the EU and are prospering as an independent, sovereign country. Cheers.

    Still the best equipped navy in Europe, and one of the top five in the world. Cheers.
  15. The episode where Marlene wants to adopt a kid, so Del Boy gets them one, Boycie looks at it and delivers the unforgettable line; "it's as black as Newgates knocker ! ". Totally un-pc, and would never be allowed these days, but absolutely hilarious at the time ! Cheers.
  16. Agreed ! If the Bidens are investing in China, they are only doing, on a far bigger scale, what everyone one of us does every time we shop...... Ganbei.
  17. I'm replying out of curtesy, Francie, so please don't take this the wrong way. For someone who sees conspiracy and false flags everywhere, don't you think that Milley may just be following orders, and telling the Chinese what they want to hear ? I haven't a clue, but I do know America comes down hard on traitors. Food for thought ? ? Cheers.
  18. AUKAS is a huge move in the right direction to counter China's expansionist policy in the Indo-Pacific. And , of course, it has the happy bonus of pissing the French off !??! Cheers.
  19. Late 60's, Li 150 series 3. Cheers.
  20. You support them, I don't, I can understand and accept that ? I started the post, and I think my stance is clear, so further comment from me would just be going round in circles. Anyhow, I'm now going to watch the Newcastle-Leeds game, which will leave me Elated, angry, happy, depressed depending how it pans out ? Cheers.
  21. It's also turning public opinion against their cause. If they targeted the politicians, I , for one, would be minded to support them. But, as you say, they are taking the cowards route. Cheers
  22. Irrelevant. I've allready said I believe in protest, and have some sympathy with their cause. What I disagree with is them targeting the wrong people. Again, as I've already said, why don't they target the people they are pissed off at, the politicians ? Chain themselves to the gates of #10, glue themselves to the ministerial cars. But I feel I'm wasting my time here, you have your opinion, I have mine. Cheers.
  23. When I was taking my two kids for their daily chemotherapy, if those c**ts had blocked my way on the pretence my house needed insulating, I would have,without doubt or hesitation drove over or through them ! To some it may just be an inconvenience, to others, it may be life or death. Cheers.
