My guess is FRUSTRATION! It gets to us all over a certain age – I’ve been labelled a “miserable old git” for quite some time now – you too I suspect Jac!

That’s the point –

The vast majority of people in Britain are incapable of critical analysis so when they read a pile of stinking bullshit in their favourite newspaper or watch it perform on TV, they lack the skill to see it for what it is.

And that’s exactly how the powers that be want it, they encourage and cultivate that mindset continually.

Re. the spellchecking. The spellchecking is done within the browser you are using to browse this site. Check your browser settings to ensure that you are using an English GB dictionary and make the necessary changes in your browser settings, the default setting is usually English US. The site itself has no spellckecking feature, that’s done at the client end. I hope that helps.

Oh, you see a Napoleon figure with complete control over everything.
Well, I’m not saying that it couldn’t happen but if it does it would not be in accordance with the Lisbon Treaty and it seems so far fetched that it’s tin foil hat stuff. Oh yes, the Danish SAS taking orders to do some localised head kicking in Towyn. /lol/

Drawing attention away from my valid points with a look over there?

btw: Off subject.
Is there any chance of swapping the USA spellchecker on this application for an English lexicon?

“Joint NATO exercises” of separate armies answerable to individual nation-states. Come on, Daley, you can see the difference!

Yeah, yeah. Just like joint NATO exercises

When you say “There were no soldiers dressed as police officers used against the miners”, this is not correct. Serving members of the Royal Military Police were drafted in (Red Caps). These held existing police warrant cards, and under the emergency powers were assigned various duties.

“A combined armed force from EU nation states” is a step along the road to doing away with those nation states.

The League of Nations –
Pity that the USA didn’t support it. If the Americans embraced the League with the vigour that Woodrow Wilson had hoped maybe the rise of right-wing authoritarianism might not have been quite as devastating.
The Paris Peace Talks of 1919 –
On a scale never seen before on the face of Earth after a war on a scale never seen before. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was entitled to submit a petition. Ho Chi Minh, a chef in Paris, delivered a petition calling for self-governance in his home country.
It would be an impossible task even now with computer technology to come up with solution that would end all inter-nation conflicts, but they tried with a sincerity that is sadly lacking today.

I do not agree with you on this, Gwilym. Lloyd George, Wilson and Clemenceau knew too well the horrors of the Great War and they were determined to produce a lasting treaty.

As for Greedy Capitalists –
Find a replacement for capitalism that works. Pachacuti built an empire in South America with very little warring and a lot of jawing and not a penny of money. There was no money nor any medium of exchange for goods and services in the land of the Incas.

I didn’t claim it was a figment of anyone’s imagination.
What baffles me is why you seem to think that a combined armed force from EU nation states is a threat to EU citizens when NATO isn’t.
Please return to solid ground and note that, currently, the biggest threat to the people of Britain comes from the Tory/DUP Government.
