I think you should always vote for who you want to win. Not a fan of tactical voting at all, but then, neither am I a fan of 150 or so constituencies effectively deciding the balance of power. If we must maintain a local link, we need to elect our MPs under a similar system to MEPs. Don't see why a Tory in Liverpool (for example) shouldn't have a say.

Shared this on Twitter already. [video=youtube_share;liZm1im2erU] If you can listen to this without feeling like you're a playa, then you probs need to get your playa mechanism checked out. Not sure if they do it on the NHS. Beast.

Blue Peter? Pah. All the cool kids just said no and watched Zammo have a fight with the dragon and get a smack on the nose. With that and the endless fun doing impressions ("Hello Ro-land" ) we simply never had time for Blue Peter in our lives. I'm surprised you did, and I have to say, I'm a little disappointed.

My first double post. Cheers Tapatalk!

The big problem with Constantine is Keanu Reeves. Totally miscast. The comic book inspiration is a chain-smoking ginger scouser. There are tons of Brit actors who could have pulled that off. Damien Lewis would be my shout.

Full on virtual reality, Matrix style.

Interesting. A quick search on the BBC website seems to show a definite ramping up. http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q=Syria&search_form=in-page-search-form

Really kicks into gear at Ariel, imo.

All too often though, the counter-argument, if you can call it that, amounts to "enumerate every detail of the conspiracy, otherwise your concerns about the specifics are unjustified". It's an unreasonable request which does nothing to address the concerns.

Brave post considering the audience, Bexy. All four of your points are bang on, and have been thoroughly ignored when I've mentioned them. I hope you have better luck, and given that you've made your points less combatively than myself, I see no reason for these points not to be answered. I don't think the mix-up between the Senate and the House diminishes the overall point you made regarding CISPA. It was a good week to bury bad legislation. Who cares about poxy little universal Internet snooping laws with this going on?

I'm suspicious of everything I read. British papers should always be supplemented with a healthy dose of Private Eye, which needs to be checked itself, given their history of retractions. I wasn't really posting that link as proof that he couldn't speak, as we still don't know. However, I did fancy dissuading VW of the notion that I'm exclusively using conspiracy theory websites to get information. He clearly hasn't even been keeping abreast of the established news outlets, which makes his assertions even funnier.

It was clear from your original post that you'd assumed that I'd gleaned this information from, what was it, a source in my fantasy world? When confronted with the news story, you say that the Director of the hospital isn't qualified to speak on his medical condition, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to give full details. If you haven't got the grace to climb down, at least come up with some better insults. Do you suffer from piles or are you just anally fixated? You certainly behaved like an arse here.

Re: Operation Northwoods. The joint chiefs signed off on the plan. As Verbal says, Kennedy vetoed it. He was assassinated. The joint chiefs were still around. Pretty much everything Kennedy stood for was in ruins by the end of the decade. Kennedy showed exceptional courage to stand up to these people. Johnson never did. Didn't he famously say "get me re-elected. Then you can have your damn war"? One false flag later ( Gulf of Tomkin incident ) and hey presto! Vietnam. The same people that wanted to bomb their own citizens were still calling the shots after JFK was assassinated.

The reports that he may never speak again come from the doctor who has been treating him. http://www.timesofisrael.com/boston-bomber-may-never-speak-again-israeli-doctor-says/ Good enough?

I'm actually relentlessly cheerful in real life. You are also off the mark with your "never wrong" bit. I'm one of the few posters on here who does show a bit of humility when wrong.

I really fancy going to a Bundesliga game. Actually, I really fancy going to Germany in general. What's it like for a non-German speaking person? Easy enough to get on out there?

Cheers Sergei. I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I appreciate your conditional support on this one. I'm not really sure where Verbal is coming from. I'm not really sure that he wants to debate. He just fancies destroying me. He can have a go, and I'm sure he'll attract some acolytes with this approach, but as your example shows, such a tactic can be off-putting.

I think it started in earnest around 1992, which rules Maggie out.

Like when you likened me to a cross-dressing uncle on the 9/11 thread? I didn't call you anything. I just thought you had independent views.

Except for the part where he cannot speak, and every word he writes down is going to be vetted.

To be fair, Londinistan was well-established before the 1997 landslide victory.

Secure from the big bad monster the media created, you mean? Do me a favour. Check out the before and after pics of the two brothers as they were being arrested, and how they ended up. Justice was never a consideration here.

Please crawl out of his arse. It'll smell better.

You are perfectly entitled to laud Verbal's posts, Dig Dig - just as you are entitled to label my posts aggressive. I'm entitled to think you're wrong. One of us has done more research.

Thanks Crab Lungs; I've seen many of the photos on there. Not all of them. Good summary of many of the problems with the narrative on the news.
