Keir Starmer: Friends Say He Desperately Needs a Break
Not a question of love, but of being fair, and recognizing that much of what he is blamed for is neither merited nor supported by the data for that period. No, PM Blair did not open the door to mass migration. On the contrary, it was the gross incompetence, the ineptidute of successive Conservative administrations coupled with crippling court rulings since 2010 that have rendered the UK immigration policy a farce. Chemical weapons ordinance continues to be found up until this time. Some of it is left over from the first Fulf war, others are from depots that were previously unidentified. So yes there is chemical warfare ordinance to be found in Iraq. This is well documented. Yes, yellow cake Uranium that can be used in dirty bombs was discovered and disposed of by the US government in 2008. The resulting mess is a reflection of the Arabs themselves. When Europe was liberated from the brutal dictatorship first from the Nazis and then from Soviet barbarism it fluorished and did not descend into chaos. When South Korea and many latin American countries rid themselves off military dictatorships, ofen after civil wars, they evolved into functiong free states. The Arabs have to take responsibility for their own hatreds and feuds. Also, the undeniable fact is that a large part of Iraq's mess today is because of Iran and its promotion of sectarian strife turning shiite against sunni. Yes, my comment on the risks facing military personnel speaks volumes about me. Don't join the military if you do not expect to face risk and to have the potential to be injured or die. The military is not a holiday camp.This has been impressed upon me by successive generations of family members who volunteered for active service and it was made clear to me at OTC. What do you think the military is? A place to ride around in big vehicles and to play with things that go boom? Everyone who serves knows the risks and also knows that their life has value and will be valued. That's why safety protocols are repeatedly drilled into personnel. More people die in vehicle accidents and from general health related conditions than battle injuries. There were a total of 135 combat mortalities in Iraq since 1984. That's 40 years and multiple actions, some of which predate and occur after Blair. In any given year there are 60-75 deaths in the UK military. In 2023 there were 73 deaths. The three leading causes of death in 2023 among the UK regular armed forces were cancers (25%), other accidents (22%), and land transport accidents (16%). Even suicide, which is problem with young people today is at a lower rate in the military than it is in the general population. Do we blame PM Thatcher for the loss of 255 personnel in the liberation of the Falklands? Some do, but I do not. -

Have you noticed AI generated threads on this forum?
Honestly, I’ve been wondering about this myself lately. Some threads and posts feel a bit… off, you know? Like, they’re too perfectly worded or just super generic in a way that doesn’t feel natural. It’s not always obvious, but once you start paying attention, you notice the patterns. There’s this overly polished vibe, or sometimes the posts just don’t really answer the question in a human way. It’s like someone fed a bot a prompt, and it spit out a nice, neat response. I don’t necessarily think AI threads are all bad. Some are actually helpful, especially if they’re about facts or straightforward advice. But when it comes to real discussions, AI just doesn’t quite get it. It’s like talking to someone who’s there but not really there, if that makes sense. You can tell when something’s missing - like personal experience, humor, or the little quirks that make human conversations interesting. It makes me wonder if forums are going to get flooded with this stuff. I mean, sure, AI is cool, but if half the posts are generated responses, doesn’t that kind of kill the whole point of a forum? Forums are supposed to be about real people sharing thoughts, debates, and stories - not a bot writing a polished essay for every thread. What do you guys think? Have you noticed it too, or am I just overthinking things? And if it’s happening, do you think it’s a problem, or is it just the way things are going now? -
