    When did Dianne Abbott call you a racist who hates foreigners?

    I am calling you an abusive person, and that post offensive, no matter how liberal your credentials.

    When your best argument is calling someone a foul name, maybe you shouldn’t have been voting on something as serious as deliberately damaging our economy, for WHATEVER reason. Your post might well serve to reinforce some prejudices about the degree of thought behind the brexit vote. It was certainly below the standard of discourse on this forum, however heated it gets.

    I find it racist when various people say that employers need immigrants because British people are too lazy to work. Now replace the word ‘British’ with ‘Black’ or ‘Asian’ and tell me if it’s acceptable.

    What are you being rediverted to? Which browser are you using?

    Sounds like malware to me – and it can be an absolute sod to get rid of. Been there, etc..

    ibtimes. It’s extremely infrequent and only seems to happen here. I’ve ran MalwareBytes, Farbar, AswareCleaner, tdsskiller, rkill, zoek and hitmanpro several times and with it happening so infrequently and only on this site, I wondered if it could be one of the banner ads doing something.

    What people also fail to realise is that all the rebels, moderates and non-moderates are also using unguided shells, mortars and rockets against civilian areas under government control. It’s a 2-way thing, so you can’t just point the finger at one side.

    This is most likely just brainstorming from their side.

    Saab have seen no official contact from the Argentines, it is just Embraer. I really doubt Saab would approve the sale without british components without british consent. After all Britain is a very close friend to Sweden.

    The design is partly owned by BAE so they would need to purchase a license, which they won’t get for Argentina.

    As we have seen in Fallujah twice.. Funny that you didn’t make a peep at that time..

    Exactly, house-to-house clearance for large cities with nut-jobs like ISIS, Al-Nusra and Ahrar Al-Sham is a job nobody is going to volunteer for. And nothing happening in Syria, isn’t also happening in Iraq or Yemen and hasn’t happened in Gaza in the past.

    The former WWII approach is banned as a war-crime in the meanwhile. But in Aleppo and in Mossul we see and will see the same criminal behavior from members of the UN.

    Unless you have guided weapons and know exactly where every enemy is it’s the only option, unless you want to do house-to-house clearance for entire cities.

    The slimmest photo of PAK FA in history.

    Are those intakes even curved at all because they look arrow straight but slanted?

    The mirage airframe was very efficient for a single engine light fighter but the wrong layout for a large twin engine fighter. The Tornado fuselage is the proper layout for a large twin engine fighter and would have been top class if it had fixed wings and a higher wing loading.

    Higher wing loading? It was pretty high anyway.

    There is no practical way to avoid harm to those who willingly remain in the soon-to-be-bombed area. If the west are so concerned about the well being of civilian people of Aleppo, we should use our negotiating power to persuade the rebels to surrender or at least disengage from the city to avoid further bloodshed. Funny that nobody here has for a second considered that option..

    The WWII approach on both fronts was 24 hours of relentless bombardment on the town/city followed by entry. If a shot was fired by the enemy, they withdrew and the process was repeated.

    At first thank you for the fast response.

    Non did claim it a fake, when you bolster the result. Not knowing what was hit?! Did the smoke and light come from the primary or the secondary explosion?! The UN people in Gaza did track the events first hand.

    Or several LGBs dropped on separate targets.

    TEST PILOTS RATE EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON

    The Eurofighter’s ability to climb is, according to Schirdewahn, “about 25 per cent better than that of the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

    F-16 climb data.

    Please give the details and the related link to bolster your claim.

    It’s a fairly well known incident and the BBC issued a formal apology.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2012/05/houla_massacre_picture_mistake.html

    Elsewhere the Tea Party showed a picture of another protest to make their one look bigger. Given Israeli intelligence they’d have shown-up RT if the images were faked in any way.

    In other news, this was also misreported first time around.

    Uhh.. no. No it isn’t. If it were that easy the 737 would have had FBW today (to say nothing of maneuverable fighter jets).

    Giving it FBW is relatively easy, but shifting the weight around and then flight testing it is the difficult part. Depending on how the aircraft is designed, it may not even be possible to put the CoG behind the CoL. Hell, why haven’t they done it with the F-15 if it were that easy?

    Wrong. Without the related details to verify by others, it is just propaganda.

    How? You saw how quickly the BBC got pulled up when they showed pictures from Iraq and claimed they were the results of chemical attacks in Syria.
