Other thing we have to remember, is the end of oil reserves is in sight....without any new findings, I read less than 20 years. Because of this, a lot of money is being put into new technology and ways of running cars, other than petrol. So it is in the Arab Sheiks interest, to keep people wanting petrol driven cars, rather than any alternative !!! Once people start switching, then their cash cow is dead !!

Why not just apply Chinese style justice and save a fortune.
Shoot the little scroats in the back of the head in front of their families.
Crime wave over.

So question;-
1) Censor social media to stop abuse that is not unlawful.
2) Let social media be a forum for free speech.

It has been said that the only way to negotiate with an Arab is with a knife to his throat. This concept is totally alien to the west and we should keep out of it.

If they have arrived in France than they have escaped persecution and the EU rules say that they should apply for asylum in the first EU country they reach. Therefore France should treat them as asylum seekers and we should treat them as immigrants.

well, it seems you can't prove it so it will have to be left there.

Is there any current climate change at all, where is the evidence for this?

which of coarse has been on going for over 11 million years since the last ice age

The recent events om serious flooding in the UK (and elsewhere I guess) have left most people to belive it may be the cause of 'climate change' or however you might like to describe it.
Quote by MidsCouple24
The people of the Netherlands have been worried about climate changes, over the years they have seen a drastic increase in the drying out of their soil, some believe this is due to climate change whilst others believe it is due to the vast amounts of wind turbines that have been erected in flat areas.
Nobody has all the facts but some say that whilst not being a good thing the drying soil has helped their land absorb the increase of rainfall they like us, have been experiencing.
That and the fact they do manage their land because they have always known the dangers and importance of managing it, they agree that climate change is having an effect but unlike the UK they do something about it before it gets to the state it has in the UK.
I agree and said, our successive governments and local authorities and water companies have been criminal in their management not only in general but moreso knowing that climate change has been taking place since the end of the ice age and is getting worse because of such things as greenhouse gases making the natural changes more rapid than before mans industrialisation of the planet.

Does it have to be anybody’s fault? Could it just be that we are impudent in the face of Mother Nature? Rivers are naturally un-dredged, it is us who have dredged them, if we have artificially increased the carrying capacity of water courses to stop them flooding as often does not mean we haven’t stopped them flooding ever.
We are having a prolonged period of heavy rain, this has been compounded with very strong winds, that does not mean we are going to get these conditions on a regular basis. Next winter we may have a very cold period of weather, what are we going to say when the powers that be say we haven’t any grit because we spent all our money on dredging rivers!
There is only so much money out there and there are only so many things you can prepare for, if you don’t agree with that next time you vote (if you can be bothered to vote) don’t vote for a party that is going to control spending which I am afraid limits you to the Socialist Workers Party and then watch all the money leave the country flooded rivers or not.
It’s no wonder the Aussies call us whingeing poms! It was not any government that dredged the rivers in the first place, it was the people who wanted to settle there and for centuries it was the people who worked on this land that managed it. Why has that changed? Why does it have to be anybody’s fault?
If we want to blame anybody, as a nation why don’t we collectively look in the mirror? And instead of trying to find someone to blame just perhaps realise that if we want our home grown organic meat and veg, if we want our lovely homes close to the river with views over the valley, if we want to up root trees that via their roots, aerate the ground and attract scores of other species that make up nature, that deflect the winds and replace them with bricks and mortar that are not noted for their absorbent qualities then when we get the largest rain fall for god knows how many years realise it is us who have f*cked it up! Mother Nature is going to win, every time!
What we have done and where we have done it is done! Do you think in the future we may learn a lesson and adapt our expansion? Ye and pigs might fly!

Not letting you get away with that one too easily Dean...
Why should the Country allow the Miners to hold them to ransom? What god given right did Scargill have to rule? He was not an elected representative of the people but yet he acted as a demi-god hurting the lives of thousands of people whilst he and his henchmen enjoyed lavish lifestyles.
He had no accountability - indeed he had no shame. That he very nearly brought the Country to its knees but for the determination of Mrs T to break the mob rule in the name of democracy is something that often, even 30 years later, seems to escape those who were brow beaten into submitting to his will for fear of being branded 'scabs' and publicly ridiculed in their own communities.
On the other hand, Mrs T did have accountability and won two further elections to boot. The Electorate certainly gave their verdict on her performance.
Scargill couldn't win; the establishment is omnipotent not unelected load mouthed bullies like Scargill. The electorate in common have the power to remove governments, not evil minded cretins like him with nothing but self interest in mind.
I'm so sorry that you were caught in the midst of this at such a critical stage in your adult development. I might have expected that the passage of time might have now healed those wounded emotions.

People who drive and smoke are worse than those on mobile phones.
so yep ban all smoking, eating and drinking in cars. If you are doing any of those tasks you are not in control.
Quote by Toots
Many many more people drink within the limits, drink happily at home, drink when out and don't brawl/fight or become anti-social than do. Why should those people be made to suffer for nothing more than acting responsibly?
Quote by Lizaleanrob
Having watched the the news over the last few weeks you can't help but feel for the people of flooded somerset, who's farms and homes are awash and roads that are now only accessible via boat
then this morning on the news hundreds of homes in surrey and surrounds who's gardens extend into the Thames all complaining that last night they got flooded
now having a house on the Thames at a premium price comes at a price surely and if you wish not to be flooded then the obvious choice would be to purchase a house either on a hill or somewhere other than the banks of a river :doh:
meanwhile 3 weeks later the poor souls in somerset are only victims of a lack of maintenance by the environment agency who's houses do not back onto the river for prestige or any other self centred reason i know who deserves the most help in my book and the most TV coverage.
