A biomedical scientist who called her Portuguese neighbour a "Spanish whore" during a row over a fire alarm was cautioned by police for a hate crime and struck off. No wonder the cops have no time to solve burglaries.

A Love Letter to England?s Magnificent Seaside Towns Mon Aug 05, 2024 13:36 | Joanna Gray
England's seaside towns, like Southport, are microcosms of the country at large, where the magnificent infrastructure has been neglected to the point of decay and we barbarians live amongst its ruins, says Joanna Gray.

Irish neutrality is a myth anyway. We're hardly like the Swiss now are we? They even had a referendum to permanantly disband their armed forces, and while this was not carried, it shows that they at least considered the idea. As someone said yesterday, Irish neutrality came up during the 2nd world war, when it was really just a way of us saying that as a soverign nation, we can make our own decisions, thank you very much, but we were up for both sides, and eventually whoever won(although we did comiserate with the losers). If we're still neutral, then the US isn't at war with anyone.
Switzerland, like most neutral countries uses its large and well prepared Armed Forces as one of its main guarantees of its neutrality.
if you have an army you might as well have a good one. But the Swiss did at least have the debate. And besides with all that dodgy gold and other stuff in yer banks, it might be a good idea to have a few blokes with guns knocking around, that is to guard the banks like, not to rob them. Its like over here too, what would our armed forces do at home if it wasn't for escorting bank vans? Play war games all day, they do enough of that already.

The EU Rapid Force is a good idea if we were a totally glued in society i.e. have an idea of our long term future rather than over indulgence in material goods, which is what we have now. There are near 250,000 less children in Ireland under 20 yrs today than in 1984 (contrast this with the near 4,000 lives lost in Northern Ireland since the start of the troubles in the early 70s). The birth rate has collapsed in Europe over the last 40 years. There are 2m less births per annum in the former EU15 now than in the middle 60s. The EU is a rapidly barren and aging society and therefore decaying. No war will decimate our population to a fraction of an extinct as to what we are silently doing to ourselves. Power only comes out from the barrel a gun in the short term! Our society has lost an understanding of the whole meaning of life. There is a huge vacuum opening up and Allah and his followers are rapidly filling it whether we like it or not! What do we do! First let us wake up to reality! Ask ourselves! What is it we are defending?
when it comes to the invasion of my homeland!!!
