Stuart HI wonder if several hundred WW2 piston engined german bombers supported by FW 190’s and Me 109’s would overwhelm the RAF’s current front line capability…
I suspect the sheer volume of cheap and cheerful aircraft would overcome a very few high tech expensive machines. And didn’t Me 262’s and Komets find that flying fast gave them less time to acquire a target?
Stuart HI clicked on ‘View Forum Posts’ on my profile and apparently I haven’t been active since October 2012. It may very well be that I haven’t had anything sensible to say since then, but I’m not at all impressed that some software change should be the arbiter.
And just now I clicked on ‘Post Quick Reply’ and my browser is asking if I want to leave this page.
I’m not generally paranoid, and some of my personalities are reasonably functional, but I’d like to be reassured that I’m not the only one having problems here…

Stuart HIt says something when governments spend huge amounts on technology to deliver weapons when all it really takes is someone with a grudge and a bag of fertilizer or similar. One such blast gets far more coverage than any number of drone strikes in far off lands…
With no callous or trolling intent, I can’t understand the outpouring of sympathy for this particular event, which, all things considered, is small beer compared to the number of innocents killed every day who don’t get any mention.

Stuart HIt seems the Right Honourable Member for Wandsworth North has been ridiculed by warders and pestered for cash by other prisoners.
Disgraceful. Surely he should have been incarcerated in a nice, middle class prison where he wouldn’t have to mix with the lower orders.

Stuart HStuart H – you’re just being silly now.
Typically they silence discussion with epithets because they know that they would not survive long in a fair debate using Facts and Logic. (Sic)

Stuart HI’ll certainly agree that their comments feature idiocies and inconsistencies, but yet again you seem to have mistaken ranting and chest-thumping for cogent factual argument. Frankly, I begin to wonder whether you understand that there’s a difference at all, let alone what the difference actually is.
Labels (eg, ‘PC Brigade’, ‘hater’) are a lazy mind’s substitute for evidence and reasoning, and a poor substitute at that.
Good night, all.
I think you’ll find it’s yourself who’s failing to provide cogent factual argument. I gave 3 examples of PC thinking and it’s results. You have merely provided ad-hominem attacks in lieu of argument. Ironic really, given that the Urban Dictionary definition of ‘PC Brigade’ starts off with:
Left wing Do-gooders who believe that any diversion from their infantile world view should be countered not with reasoned debate or compromise, but with ad hominen attacks. Typically they silence discussion with epithets such as “racist”, “sexist” or “homophobe” because they know that they would not survive long in a fair debate using Facts and Logic. Ought we (apropos to this particular thread) to include ‘ranting’ and ‘chest-thumping’ along with the epithets in the definition?
As for using the label, ‘PC’, my posts would become even more tedious and unreadable if, instead, I were to provide the full definition every time I used that particular acronym, so it really is rather picky of you to single it out for attention when the majority of people know exactly what’s meant.
Do you always write North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and describe it’s constitution, history and membership whenever you write it? I suspect not as you would assume the reader has the intelligence and knowledge to work out what NATO means.
TTFN 😉

Stuart HGrey Area, as I said earlier, ‘An example would be the woman labeled a bigot because she dared to bring up the subject of immigration to Gordon Brown. Although his comments weren’t intended for public consumption it displays a certain mindset where ‘right-minded’ PC people claim the moral high ground in an attempt to make any opposition seem subversive and immoral.’
And there was most certainly an attempt by the Left to stifle debate by labelling anyone who dared to speak out as a bigot. Fair enough, they’re entitled to their opinion too, but thier supression of opinion got to the point where the message was, ‘if you hold the wrong view, bad things can happen’ – look at the way the Rotherham foster parents who had 3 children removed from thier care were treated. They were members of UKIP, which in the eyes of the Labour run council made them unfit.
‘Yet such reservations are widely and frequently expressed – in here and in the wider world – without attracting the opprobrium that you describe in such heart-rending fashion.’ – they most certainly did in both the instances I’ve mentioned. Fortunately, they didn’t get away with it but it surely displays the Left Wing PC mindset in exemplary fashion.
Go and see The Dambusters when it’s released if you want an example of censorship in the name of Political Correctness. Yes, it was self imposed but that’s the subtlety of the PC mindset – make it somehow feel ‘wrong’ and we’ll censor and supress ourselves. I wonder how many ‘diggers’ would have complained on their own behalf…
