    Hi All,
    Although we now have the F-35 forced on us I personally think this should have been the way to go

    Hi All,
    Charlie there is as you say a definite separation but it is the total as whole that is the overwhelming effect that is fuelling the problems this country is having at the borders, yes some will only come if they have work promised but most don’t they will of course say when interviewed on camera I come for work but in reality they are here to get what they can because the country they have left just does not give them the support they need when at home so they flood here.
    Maybe some come here on a false promise but do they then say ah well I’ll go back home when they find there is no work ? the majority stay here even when being classed as illegal they see the benefit system that supports the non workers as being much better than at home alongside the Welfare/NHS/Education etc.etc.#where as we treat everybody civilly here our good nature has been the victim of it’s own success you could say.
    You say ‘welcoming’ well those who are already here will definitely agree with you there, as they are treated a lot better by our state than their own as I have already stated, if their own country’s governments where bothered about the welfare of their own citizens we wouldn’t be in this mess and neither would so many country’s be so destitute forcing migration on mass to others country’s across the world but the UK is regarded by the majority as the country that just keeps giving and, the honey pot of Europe in particular.

    This load of wooden, old (British) Sci-Fi tosh…

    …enlivened by guest appearances from Vulcan and Midge.

    Look at the proto-Fireball XL5, complete with realistic exhaust (you can imagine a bloke just outside of the frame, holding up an electric fan to create the sense of speed!).

    And for you Historic anoraks, now you know where all the early Spitfire fuel gauges went. They appear in one of the Quatermass films, too!

    Hi All,
    The 39 Steps (1959) with Kenneth Moore.
    As for those spitfire gauges what’s the betting there sitting covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs on a film props lot somewhere ? and I like th Vulcan picture loverley :love-struck:

    Hi All,
    I saw an interview recently with a Syrian fighter he has said that the whole thing now is a waste of time basically, the whole aim has gone because of the influx of the jihady’s and their own agenda even in fighting amongst themselves like a mini war within a larger one.
    In my mind they should just abandon the fight as the latest thing is the US and UK are now withholding aid to the Syrian rebels strange really as these are the country’s that backed them in the first place. :stupid:

    Hi All,
    first off before we start RIP Mr Mandela, at the risk of seeming controversial and no offence meant, but why is this still headline news ? Mr Mandela has passed now please can we move on till his funeral, it really stinks of hypocrisy all this out pouring of grief from those who allegedly new him. The three idiot heads of state who rather selfishly took a selfy was very disrespectful in my opinion and if they where true friends they would have done it away from the cameras ?
    I would also like to point out that the stadium was not as full as they where bragging about so where are all the loyal supporters ? let alone his opposition heads speaking through gritted teeth so to speak while a so called sign language speaker making a mockery of the whole event, it just seemed that everybody decided all of a sudden he was their best friend and he was a true hero, sure he did a lot of good when released from prison but don’t forget the trouble he was involved in, although not personally taking lives giving the orders allegedly.
    I like so many others remember Mr Mandela as a man of our time and nothing but good ever being shown or reported in the papers, I also being ignorant until very recently about his past and the troubles in S.Africa but I can see the positive side that his release and his attitude to forgiveness as infectious as it was to all was a turning point but you have to ask though, if he had a lasting effect why are there so many indigenous Black S.Africans still living in poverty ridden shanty towns without the basic needs of life ?

    Geoff.
