I never realised that I wasn't logged in. When I checked the odd time, I debated whether to bother posting before deciding it wasn't worth bringing on the hounds of others jumping up and down. From reading this, I think I'll sign out of the echo chamber and just leave it there.

Macron and Shultz tried to talk to Putin before the war started to try to avert the war. Putin ignored them. Putin gambled on the West appeasing him like was done in Donbas in 2014, Georgia, Chechnya, Armenia, Syria, etc. This time the west didn't roll over. Putin is still gambling on the west getti...

If you read Putin's ravings from 2 years ago, he wants to restore the Soviet Union. He wants Russian troops in Berlin.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to emulate Tzar Alexander and take Paris. After all in his warped view, it's Russian (as Tzar Alexander took it once in battle)

There is an easy path to peace and always has been . Wow. If you are so sure of an easy path to peace that's acceptable to both sides, you're a better diplomat than all of the UN and if you pull off this easy path to peace, there's a Nobel Prize in it for you. I hope you are not subscribing to the ...

The thing I find strange is that we have no problem in putting pets to sleep yet when it comes to people, it's "oh no"

Ya, forgot about the B-52 in the Baltic

Russian jet fighter collides with US Drone BBC News - Russian jet collides with US drone over Black Sea https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64957792 I've a few thoughts. Maybe it was a genuine "Oops!" from the pilot? Maybe it was deliberate to see the US reaction? Maybe it was deliber...

Having had a quick read of their website, I for one would never vote for them

I can see the school arguing for the Burke's being required to lodge money with the high court before continuing in their appeal. There has been plenty of times that was done in the past. Unless the money is lodged, no appeal. If Burke's win, money is returned. It's a reasonable argument to make due...

Oh full judicial enquiry needed as to where are his shoes?

My view on this is two fold. First, Burke is an idiot for his behaviour at the school and the court. He could have been a lot more dignified and make a much bigger impact by a dignified stand. Sure one of the judges said that on his application to have the discipline hearing stopped that his case ha...

True, the behaviour of the Burke's was ridiculous alright. Bloody disgraceful. If they behaved more normally in the court, they would do a lot better.

Just listening to Radio 1 and one thing just dawned on me. It looks like those giving out about the eviction bam being lifted are those who want a free house while the rest of us are working to pay for them....

Ah geez Marhay70, you should know the way things get twisted. By the time the NTA are finished, poor PlaneSpeaking will have been accused of starting WW2

I met the owner of my house for the first time a few weeks ago - I've lived her nearly 16 years and keep the place in good order, I pay rent on time in full and have never been a second late - that is all she needs!! Unfortunately you don't fit the sensationalistic headlines that some of the left a...

Looking at some of that, the phrase "stop the world. I want to get off" was never truer.

That is very accurate and very scary. There is a hotel in my town that spent a fortune on converting the back area/smoking section to a beer garden. We spent a lot of money in there from late 2020 to when pubs were back to normal, nowhere else to go under Covid rules, could only drink outside. He's...

Most landlords just want a steady income with steady rules. If they know what the rules are going to be for a few years and can get their rent, most are happy. It's the not getting rent for years when "tenants" won't leave and whistling your ducks to water to get back rent that's a major p...

The SD did the right thing in picking a young leader. The previous pair were seen as some of the old guard. If Holly Cairns and the SD were clever, they would have a few reasonable core policies and stop jumping on every bandwagon. They should take a leaf from SF playbook, a few core ideas repeated ...
