That must have been genuinely scary and horrible at the same time.

What a supercilious little man you are.

Explain the relevance of what you’re saying without making it up to show why you support bombings, or shut up.

I’m surprised you let yourself be caught by this charlatan, Gerry.

His snide innuendo takes a point and twists it round, changing definitions to make it fit whatever he wants it to mean.

It’s perfectly all right to bomb people, even use nuclear bombs (the bigger and badder bombs) as long as you preserve the lives of friends of the…[Read more]

that was with a lol as well as with horror at the thought.

Isn’t it Hindus who believe in reincarnation, or am I getting mixed up?

Bloody Hell!!!!

You got it.

A woman is much more in touch with her body than a man is with his. I have two children, and each time I was awe-struck at the changes to the woman’s body as the pregnancy  developed. It’s not something I’ll ever experience, but I envy it – apart from the pain at the end, that is.     to the pain.

That was well-put, Sairs.

I always have time for your comments on poetry. They’re a genuine strong point of yours xx

I misread something, Lucy, but I would like to add my congratulations on your wedding to those given by GD and Ms K.

I’m sorry that GD had such sad news to give you, but it’s great to have you back.

I can easily believe that Assad launched a chemical attack, though he doesn’t really have a motive. I cannot believe that this strike will have done anything other than to deepen the suffering of the Syrian people – Assad has already launched punishment bombing of civilian areas in Homs and Hama.

I can easily believe that the chemical attack was…[Read more]

I don;’t think that jamie should be dismissed in that way, though I don’t agree with her that alfie knows his stuff. You’ve made some strong points in this thread which are weakened by this sort of thing.

And that about sums it up.

If Bollox makes an interesting or relevant point, I’ll reply; otherwise

I genuinely don’t recognise any resemblance between the oddly vague points made by Mr Bollox above and the arguments I put forward about Iran, the Balfour Declaration, and the Middle East.

Is Mr Bollox giving a deliberately muddled answer, ignoring every point I’ve made in the hope that he’ll wing it unchallenged??

Or could it possibly be I am…[Read more]

Russian Hookers Who Peed on Trump Say They Still Have Not Been Paid!!!

What sort of crap is this? What possible relelvance does it have to the military strike on Syria?

It’s not either Trump or Putin. They’re both villains as far as I’m concerned.

How dare you say I support Putin when I’ve stressed that I do not like the man and do not like his policies?

I do understand where he’s coming from, and I don’t…[Read more]

You should google more carefully.

I’m not an expert on the Middle East – far from it, my younger son is far better read on the region than I am. But I read the paper, read some books, can hold a moderately intelligent conversation, even with him,  which pays respects to the facts without winging it.

You should do the same. You google too…[Read more]

@ Linda,

I understand your desire to stand up for your country. You’re understandably proud of your father, who served in the armed forces.

But the hell of Vietnam taught a lot of Americans., maybe most, that my country right or wrong can be a very hurtful and destructive stance.

You may have seen the recent documentary on Vietnam, by Ken Burns…[Read more]

short and sharp, as you often are, Paigey.

The first indications of this ‘strike’ show it to be a sign o weakness. The attack  was on some chemical plants which are said to hve manufactured sarin. It was  chlorine which seems to have been used in the Syrian attack (assuming it was them, though it seems to be so), and the country is awash with c…[Read more]

I think you’re a charlatan, Mr Bollox, who sends out a series of McGuffins to deflect arguemnt. You get your history wrong (talking about the Balfour Doctrine!) and then, when confronted with it, revert to semantics.

Re-carving is taken from the carving up of Africa and China in the 1890s. It’s to do with influence, direct and indirect, and…[Read more]
