  1. I truly wish you were correct, but frequently see comments on this forum that contradict that generous view.
  2. The party I have planned is for when he faces Justice. The prospect of Republicans acting with dignity is something to look forward to, but I’m not holding my breath.
  3. Obviously the message on that dress caused some deeply disturbing offense.
  4. He’s still up on LinkedIn if you want to check him out.
  5. Nobody like a sore loser.
  6. The fact that prior to the Falklands war successive British Governments were negotiating with Argentina for the transfer of sovereignty over the Islands to Argentina is a matter of historical record.
  7. He’s being kept in prison because he’s a flight risk.
  8. The tragedy is the Argentinian invasion wasn’t at all necessary, successive British Governments had been negotiating for the transfer of the Islands to Argentina.
  9. It didn’t ’have to be repelled’. It was repelled, but there are plenty of historical examples of invasions not being repelled and or dealt with by other means.
  10. Nevertheless, the UK relied on significant military assistance from the U.S.
  11. Yes. But think carefully about doing do. If you don’t take the 25% tax free lump sum then your monthly pension payments are each 25% tax free, the impact is significant over just a few years. If you’ve not done so check your state pension NI contributions and give careful consideration to what address you give HM Gov.
  12. The reason the UK fought the Falklands war was the then Thatcher Government was in its knees, tge Argentinian invasion played directly into Thatcher’s need for a distraction.

The ‘natural resources’ argument came after the war.

  14. Put all this evidence in a court of law under oath and penalty of perjury.
  15. He certainly will if the ‘Party-gate’ inquiry results in him being ejected from Parliament. The bigger issue though is the tepid response from Johnson and the ERG. Further evidence of the post Brexit infection point having been passed.
  16. It wasn’t the crimes she committed that gave her the choice of ending her life.
  17. Outspoken women, they receive a predictable response from predictable corners.
  18. It’s not an injustice. Even if the cyclist had no right to be on the path, the pedestrian had absolutely no right to cause her death. Perhaps an examination of what’s behind her and your antagonism towards cyclists is in order.
  19. Contraception, yep, that’s next on the GOP list: https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/21/texas-congress-contraception/
  20. We know what a whistleblower is thank you. We also know what conspiracy is. And we are being presented with yet another GOP fake investigation.
  21. Those Republican accusations of media collusion and bias turned out to be a confession. There’s a surprise.
