  1. The Court was created in 1959, and all members of the Council of Europe, which included the UK, accepted it's establishment and jurisdiction. The Blair Government introduced the 1998 Human Rights Act which explicitly embedded the ECHR into UK Law.
  2. True, as is also the case with those animal species that can change their gender depending on environmental pressures.
  3. Because it confers so much more than it being reduced down to failure to deport an immigrant.
  4. The EHCR is not imposed on the UK, we choose to follow it, and indeed were one of the prime movers in creating it. Edit: we ratified it and passed it into Law in 1951.
  5. But most snail species are male and female in the same individual.
  6. I would question that we have had a "stable" Government since the Brexit vote.

    Russia

    Isn't it because they don't work well in warm waters and are having to be upgraded ?
  8. We are all unique.
  9. Not so much that they hate Christians but he would be an Apostate having converted from Islam, this is one of the biggest "no-no"'s you can make. He is not the first Muslim immigrant to follow this path to avoid repatriation. ( However, Rwanda is a Christian country ).

    Israel

    1) It is clear that many, if not most, people do not accept Netanyahu's rhetoric. That includes posters on this forum. 2) Any consideration of Blumenthal's commentary has to take into account his personal bias and agenda. 3) Haeretz is a left-leaning, anti-settler, Israeli publication, with no love for Israel's current leadership. 4) I did read the whole article, and query his assumptions and assertions based on my own knowledge and research. 5) RPGs are designed to attack tanks and APCs. 6) Civilians caught in a cross fire between the IDF and HAMAS may well have been hit by the former, but it does not automatically follow that they were deliberately targetted.

    Israel

    Blumenthal is an avowed anti-Israeli who has also written pro-Putin and pro-Assad pieces. He has previously been caught out "mis-speaking"' when claiming to have witnessed Israeli attacks in Gaza. There is no doubt that some of the civilian casualties on October 7th were collateral damage or victims of mis-identification, but some of his assertions in that discussion are far from definitive. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-11-27/ty-article-opinion/exposing-max-blumenthals-deceptive-claim-israel-is-responsible-for-most-october-7-victims/0000018c-102f-d65f-a7dd-f0ff7b550000
  13. A German traveller approaches the passport check on arriving in a country: "Name ?" asks the Immigration Officer "Heinrich Gruber" is the reply "Occupation ?" asks the Officer "No, this time I am only visiting'".

  15. Just like Rishi then.
  16. I don't think your posts get under anybody's skin. What they do acheive is 2 things; firstly there are those who you think you are annoying, whereas in fact they are laughing at you, generally because you have completely misread them, their affiliationas and beliefs. Secondly there are a significant number of people who see your blustering and the mocking reponses it engenders as polluting just about every thread as you raise the same points over and over again in an attempt to justify your self-appointed position as a social crusader. Please, for your own sake, take a chill pill.

    Russia

    The Royal Navy is less than half the size it was for the Falklands conflict.
  18. Are trying to alienate the entire forum membership ? Turks, you might need a longer lineup.
  19. At 39 he doesn't fit the age profile for our squad.
  20. Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari ?
  21. If you mean the one on the right it is Kevin Spacey.
  22. From the Criminal Cases Review Commision website; "After more than 900 prosecutions, around 580 sub-postmasters and Crown Office employees initiated civil proceedings against Post Office Ltd during which Post Office agreed to pay damages. " ( Highlighting by me ). It would seem that it affected both sets of staff.
  23. Something, something, Tommy Robinson, something, something, Katie Hopkins....... You bloody Alt-right reactionaries 😉
  24. It's the flower shops that have the problem.
