Eleven Conservatives now bidding to be next UK prime minister

Because it's such an uncontroversial topic? Really? -

Funny, given that Israel played a key role in convincing Trump to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. The world sure could use a lot more of the gas and oil that Iran could provide if Israel and the Sunni Arabs hadn't convinced Trump to make it virtually impossible for most other nations to buy Iranian gas and oil. And, of course, Iran is now closer to being able to make nuclear weapons than it has ever been.

Fuentes was supposed to have arrived in 2015. Which means that the over half of his time spent in the USA was under the Trump Administration. Why did Donald Trump and his minions allow him to stay in the USA? Unlike you in relation to your question, I recognize that my question is ridiculous. -
Elon Musk says he's terminating $44B Twitter buyout deal
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Here's a link to an excellent article that looks at Musk's claim. It's an interview of a specialist in merger and acquisitions.(" Brian JM Quinn, a professor at Boston College Law School whose research focuses on corporate law and mergers and acquisitions.") It's quite damning of Musk's position. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/07/musk-twitter-deal-break-lawsuit-claims/670515/ -
Fresh COVID wave sweeps Asia; New Zealand warns of pressure on hospitals
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
*Deleted post edited out* To start with the last piece of nonsense first. The First Pandemic War etc... is just agitprop. As for claims that the unvaccinated are more likely to die than the vaccinated. As has repeatedly been pointed out by epidemiologist, the unvaccinated are far more likely to be younger and healthier than the vaccinated. So you have to compare within cohorts.. Huge Study Finds Second COVID-19 Booster is ‘Life-saving’ for Over 60s A second booster of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine reduced mortality rates among elderly people in Israel by 78%, according to a new study by the country’s Clalilt Health Services, Sapir College and Ben-Gurion University. This is the largest study of its kind to date, and involved more than 560,000 people aged 60. “The main conclusion is that the second booster [fourth shot] is lifesaving,” Dr Ronen Arbel, Health Outcomes Researcher at Clalit Health Services and Sapir College, told Health Policy Watch. https://healthpolicy-watch.news/95297-2/ Third, Gibson directs a lot of his criticism at the testing regime that preceded the release of the covid vaccines. The problem with that is we now have a huge amount of real world data about the morality rate of the unvaccinated vs. the vaccinated. So even if his critiques of testing were valid, which I doubt, that's been superseded. Significantly, in the USA, there occurred something that economists would call a natural experiment. They compared the covid mortality rate of various regions in the US based on the level of opposition to vaccines. Before vaccines mortality rate was virtually the same. But once vaccines became available, mortality dropped far more in those regions in which the populace was less opposed to vaccination. https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-021-12063-2 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34226856/ https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/03/03/the-changing-political-geography-of-covid-19-over-the-last-two-years/ https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2022/06/republican-us-counties-saw-more-covid-19-deaths -

Perhaps BJ believes that backstabbing a PM is an activity that he's singularly entitled to: Boris Johnson leads backstabbing race for Theresa May's job amid Brexit chaos https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-leads-backstabbing-race-16186349 -
Economic Watch: All eyes on Fed as US inflation surges
placeholder replied to ASEAN NOW News's topic in World News
Ah, another subscriber to the religion of inflation and QE. How many years and how many times were these predictions made and turned out to be false? There's a thing called Occam's razor which essentially calls for the explanation that most economically fits the facts. The fact is that there is still a huge disparity between supply and demand. Not enough supply, thanks to covid's effects on production which are still continuing and now the Ukraine war. -

Really? You think MPs are basically rubber stampers? Just to go along with whatever the current PM claims? Is that how it works in the House of Commons? The opposition basically says yes to whatever the current PM proposes? No questions asked? What alternative UK do come from? -
BREAKING NEWS ! Boris Johnson to resign as Prime Minister

In 2020 87,6% of Malaysians had a smartphone. Does that mean that Malaysia is just about as developed a nation as is the UK? You think maybe it's a bit simplistic to rely on one statistic to characterize a nation's economy and the prosperity of its people? https://www.statista.com/statistics/625418/smartphone-user-penetration-in-malaysia/ -

Really? It started with Labor? Actually, the decline accelerated starting in about 2010. Who won the election in 2010? UK Families ‘Nearly £9,000 Worse Off’ Compared to Other Countries, Report Says "The report reveals that UK pay growth has fallen below zero since the financial crisis and eight million young workers have never experienced a period of sustained rising real wages. It says that the UK's productivity gap with France and Germany has almost tripled since 2008 from 6% to 16% - equivalent to an extra £3,700 in lost output per person. The report shows that while the top 10% of households in Britain are richer than those in many other European countries, middle-income British households are woefully behind." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-12/uk-families-nearly-9-000-worse-off-than-in-comparable-countries -

Not at all. You seem to think it's significant that the perpetrator was an illegal immigrant. Why is it significant? Just because it's a fact, that doesn't make it significant. Any more than hair color or height. -

Well, Donald Trump bent his knee to MBS and scuttled the Iran nuclear deal. That's a lot of oil and gas that's gone missing from the world market thanks to Trump kowtowing to the Sunni Arabs and Israel. -

Why would I assume that your only source of information was from the same article? So it turns out that you don't have any source for your claim that this is Joe biden's fault. Just you running an automatic pilot.- 208 replies

The REAL EV vehicle discussion thread.....
placeholder replied to transam's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
This still doesn't explain why you need 2 batteries to accomplish this. A battery can be charged while it's discharging. Also, It seems to me that what you are proposing is virtually a perpetual motion machine. You think that there is enough spare energy that can be recaptured from the drive train plus the solar energy generated by the PVs that your vehicle can run forever? Wouldn't you think that if this were possible it would have been done by now? -
