Just another unsubstantiated BS story from Trump. If you have nothing, just fill in the silence with more lies. There will always be people who will believe them, even here on AN.

Here is one link for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teal_independents

And that is the best that you can offer? Nothing about Trump's family quoting much the same thing?

So what is your point, or are you barrel scraping for anything that might stick, as usual?

I agree with you about our wives being our best friends. However there are some posters who cannot believe that, and try to twist the post into something that they think is true, no matter that it isn't.

At 80 I use a walking stick. Stairs I can usually manage but slopes are difficult for me now. Stairs are OK if there is a handrail or a bannister. I can go upstairs one step and one tread at a time. Coming down is usually both feet on the one tread and both hands on the bannister. The good news is that i wake up every morning and it is great to be alive, Bad knees, aches and pains, problems walking don't seem to matter as much as being alive and being with my wife.

You were very lucky. I blacked out up by our kitchen about 18 months ago and woke up in hospital. I had no idea where I was, what time, day, week, month or year it was. I had no idea how I got there or where it was, I didn't even know if my wife knew where I was or what happened. I hope that you are better now.

I wouldn't be going anywhere. Tired workers can cause more problems than the solve. It is obvious to me that you have no idea what you are talking about, and are just a troll on this thread.

His time and that of his party has long gone. I can well remember how the democrat party denied that they would join the military coup government. After the so called election, they joined with Prayuth's coalition government Since 1997 the democrats have lost voters and votes with almost every election.

Why. It is just an old unused building, boarded up, shuttered and decaying. The FORMER owner of the building is stopping it being rebuilt and becoming a useful part of the community. It is not as if they have any interest in it. Something interesting for you to read. https://faithsurvey.co.uk/uk-christianity.html Some key findings from the Church Statistics1 report are: UK Church membership has declined from 10.6 million in 1930 to 5.5 Million in 2010, or as a percentage of the population; from about 30% to 11.2%. By 2013, this had declined further to 5.4 million (10.3%). If current trends continue, membership will fall to 8.4% of the population by 2025.2 In England, membership is forecast to decline to 2.53 million (4.3% of the population) by 2025. Over the period 2005-2010, the major Christian denominations such as Anglican, Catholic and Presbyterian all saw falls in membership. Orthodox, Pentecostal and other new churches (Evangelical and Charismatic) on the other hand, saw an increase in membership. Church membership is declining in all four constituent countries of the UK, but in England the decline is relatively small, whereas the biggest decline appears to be in Scotland. 1 The Church Statistics document gives an overview of the various definitions of 'membership' used by different Christian Denominations. 2 Source: Church Statistics 2 Church Attendance in Britain Brierley Consultancy have also published statistics for church attendance (as opposed to membership) for the period 1980-2015. Key findings are: Church attendance has declined from 6,484,300 to 3,081,500 (equivalent to a decline from 11.8% to 5.0% of the population). England has the lowest percentage of the population attending church in 2015 (4.7%), just below Wales at 4.8%. In Scotland, the equivalent figure is 8.9%

Take it home with her and dump it in her own trash bin. It seems as though there was a trash bin 20 metres from where she dumped her trash.

History is not being thrown away. If the Christians and the English church revere it so much, why is it not open with a thriving Christian community, instead of being shuttered and closed down? It was to be opened as a place of worship, but not as a Christian church as nobody bothered to attend it any more. Now it is simply another moldering old building, and from looking at the photo, it is an eyesore, and will never be used as a place of Christian worship again. If the Christians want to do something useful with it, refurbish it at the expense of the Church, and turn it into a shelter for the homeless and a soup kitchen. Organised religion. To quote Ebenezer Scrooge. Bah, Humbug.

Therefore without any backup any opinion is meaningless. The same as opinions of school children.

For the manning levels of the British Forces you need only to look and see who has decimated them. The UK politicians have done it themselves and at the same time they have also increased the number of tasks given to the Forces with a reduced number of people.

I was thinking about the modern day RN which still does not have ships or man/women power to spare not about something that happened more than 100 years ago. Back in those times if men were required for the RN, press gangs simply went out, banged a few heads and there was a ships crew. Nowadays that doesn't happen and new recruits and retaining serving members is at a low point. Back in the days of the West Africa Squadron a new ship could be built, commissioned and in action in a matter of months. Nowadays it is a matter of years to build , commission, handover after sea trials, fit out, equip and staff even a small ship such as a frigate. The Tories under their multitude of PMs have had 14 years to come up with a workable plan whilst they were in power, but they didn't or couldn't.

He is living in a political dream world. In theory it is good. The problem is that the RN don't have any spare ships or men/women to carry out yet another useless political idea. As a thought (if this plan) ever sees the light of day. The RN deploys a frigate that actually chases a boatload of illegal immigrants and orders it to stop. They will probably ignore that and carry on. What should the captain do next? Launch a small boat loaded with armed marines and take over the boatload of illegals, bring them back to the frigate, and do what with them? Take them back to France and dump them there? I doubt if the French will even accept them. Take them to the UK, and hand them over to who? That won't fix the problem. Talking is what politicians do best. If you come up with an idea like that, plan it through from start to finish, long before you mention it. Dig deep into the Tory policy rules and regs on illegal immigrants on exactly what happens to them from the time that they land, right through to the end. Where do they stay, what is real total cost to the UK, how to deport them and who will even accept them. If they have no passport, ID etc, how can you send them to another and what is the cost. The Tory party had years to sort this out and they couldn't. The Labour party are making loud noises about what THEY will do. In the end, if the UK is lucky and smart enough. they will make it impossible to land as an illegal, be given somewhere to stay, food etc and money to live on. They will be tied up in the courts for decades with appeal after appeal that the UK government will have to pay for the courts, the prosecutors cost and the defence costs as the illegals have no money to pay them. Not to mention all the protests about civil rights and all the bleeding heart liberals against the government.

quote "That definition has been posted hundreds of times on this forum. Always by Dunning-Kruger types thinking they have uncovered a pearl of wisdom". If the definition has been posted hundreds of times on this forum, it probably means that most of the posters are correct. Thank you for the apology. It was completely wrong and unnecessary.

I agree that there are too many chiefs, too many agencies, too many plans and not enough co-ordination. There are also too many lookie sees cluttering up the area, especially local and national politicians. They also have too much influence and power, so unfortunately they cannot be kicked off the site and let the guys who are actually doing the rescue can get on with their job without being interfered with. Many of them have no ideas of their own and are simply in the way.

So what? Perhaps they have done their work and are on a break period and relaxing. perhaps they are waiting to go to the front and start their shift. Not everyone works for every second of every minute of every hour. Many people take a break now and again.

quote Note the silence. So far in this thread there are 3 posts. 2 of them are yours. Not everybody responds instantly, and many people simply don't care.

But that is only your opinion without anything to back it up.

When he has no genuine response to a post, he simply insults the poster. Just ignore him, He is like one of those annoying little flies that hang around.

And it certainly won't be Trump, Vance or the gop.

I had about 250 ml last night and as it is, it has all the flavour and smell of wet grass. The next lot I make, I will put some honey with it to add a little bit of flavour
