And Japan, Slovakia, hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria.

oh i forgot that Japan fought on d-day side by side with the Germans

 

Slovakia did not exist. it was a part of Czechoslovakia which was occupied by German invading troops as was Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.

The "Axis powers" formally took the name after the Tripartite Pact was signed by Germany, Italy, and Japan on 27 September 1940, in Berlin. The pact was subsequently joined by Hungary (20 November 1940), Romania (23 November 1940), Slovakia (24 November 1940), and Bulgaria (1 March 1941).

 

NEXT!

Nothing whatsoever just as there is nothing wrong with Germany acting in Germany's interest. 

Quite, the problem comes when politicians fail to differentiate between the interests of the country and their own.

Brexit was created and by propagated by politicians pursuing their own self interest.

Or use the call for nationalism to disguise personal agendas for power and wealth.

It is an interesting suggestion but places a lot of faith in other countries to play ball. Basically, if you have already dropped your external tariffs to zero then other countries have nothing to gain from a FTA.

More to the point, it was a drain on German resources - North Africa and Greece, which also made Yugoslavia a problem.

 

Japan helped by tying down US and, initially, Soviet resources.

This is The Flying Scotsman route: Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverley. Now with Hitachi locomotives!!

 

Shame upon shame

 

Where are our engineers? Napier Deltics anyone? Pacific Class? Mallard?

 

I suppose this the fault of the EU?

 

PATHETIC

 

Just look at this design!!

Come on Kuhn you have to admit that the Germans are superior to the U.K. In nearly everything. Largest economy in Europe, needed a huge coalition to defeat them in war, better at footbal and that is before we get to their beer and women. Embrace them as partners and ir will all end well.

Wow you sound like a Brussels mouthpiece. Embracing dictators has never been a strong point of the UK which I am so happy about.

Really I think we have done our share of embracing dictators, what do you think Stalin was or Pinochet and Ceausecu  even got a state visit.

More than 60 years old that idea Grouse.

Good lightweight engine at that time when we were born.

 

Will have problems matching today''s high power/high torque engines.

Adequate scavenging is a real challenge for those engines if trying to meet today's high power requirements.

 

Those engines do fine at the show house in York. Can have a pint with proper Yorkshire head combined with the look.

Woun't get that head anywhere in EU. (although northern Germany sports some decent heads on pilsner)

 

(Mercury/MerCruiser have some brilliant high power (torque and hp) and high rev diesels

that are very small and relatively lightweight.

Pick up on that rather than reviving Napier I woud say)

Nowt wrong with a bit of nostalgia!

 

You are right but we should be at the top of the engineering pile!

Anyway getting back to the treads title. I hope TM goes into the EU Brexit talks and tells the EU when are they going to admit that multiculturalism doesn't work. When are Germany going to admit there open immigration policy has made the EU a breading ground for continual terrorism.

 

Oops I probably got back to a contentious issue about brexit. Never mind. sadly and tragically I will await for the next terrorist attack across the EU which has a direct correlation due to the EU and its policy. Well done Brussels. Not..

Well, I do hope TM will never even hint at that issue. Doing that would derail the Brexit talks severly.

This  is  not the time for discussing views on multiculturalism.

Hopefully, it's going to be an internal discussion for us soon. And, hopefully, one on which Corbyn doesn't have much input. Read what Nazir Afzal, head of North West England's CPS has to say here about grooming gangs. It shows Corbyn up for the pillock that he is:

Why not.it is after all,part of the problem with this so-called Union.

Yes, for the UK it is.

The influx of all sorts of people from around the world controlled by Brussels is not to UKs fancy

and is one of the reasons that people in the foggy islands opted to Brexit.

Fair enough. But this is now done.

 

As of Brexit the foggy islands can control and master the influx herself.

 

No point in <deleted> up the temperature in the negos with issues that ain't no issue after Brexit.

 

The talks don't need added complexity.

 

 

[Grouse]

The UK should be at the top of the nuclear "pile"!

 

AGRs, fast breeders and small scale

 

Also transmission technologies and storage. Lots of material science required for high energy density batteries. Lots of engineering of high torque high efficiency motors.

 

Come on, we should be leading the world!!

 

I want rare earth PhDs earning millions not drips kicking footballs! I find Neodymium magnets much more attractive.

 

All this Brexit film flam is a side show. We need the best brains coupled with serious capital!

Are you serious? Britain has plenty of history of bedding dictators.
