I demand the right of reply: I said that "much" of Wellington's army was German. He had 24000 British, 17000 Dutch, and 26000 German troops on the field of Waterloo. He had a few more British cavalry regiments that were guarding his communications and supply routes to the coast, that were not engaged in the battle. He also would not have fought if Blucher had not promised to march to join him, despite his defeat at Ligny, and his army was entirely German.

I don't think it comes under 'eventually', more likely inevitably. Imagine if Andrew Malkinson had been found guilty of murder.

Just waiting for the French cannon to open fire.

SOGgy does tend to get followed around, but the first personal attack on this thread came from him when he replied to WSS "Unless this is just another of your pointless posts trying to spoil a serious thread? ". SOG planted himself firmly on the Moral High Ground only to find he was stuck at the bottom of the hill, and has now himself spoiled a serious thread unnecessarily.

He was pulled up by WSS querying a point in his OP and took offence when if was pointed out he was wrong.

Apparently over £30M in the last year, rising to over £55M in the next couple.

She should spend the rest of her life having "Baby Shark" piped into her cell on loop.

He could at least have done you the courtesy of spelling your name correctly.

SOG, you appear to be getting a bit paranoid. The first response to your OP was "Why is it 'not right'", querying your assertion about her not appearing in Court. This is a genuine question, warranted by your statement, and led to a polite and informed discussion of the rights and wrongs of the current Legal position, and the potential problems on either side of the equation. Currently the Law and CPS guidelines state that she did not have to attend. Until and unless the Law is changed this will remain the case.

The Red Germans.

This.

Their nationalities were varied but their language was German. It is simpler to collect them together rather than list Hessians, Hanoverians, Brunswickers, Saxons, Prussians, Thuringians, Nassauers, Bavarians, etc.

Much of Wellington's army at Waterloo were German, as were Blucher's Prussians.

Aneurin Donald says otherwise 🙂

I have already made 1 observation, which didn't seem to elicit a response. Starting his argument with what appears to be an incorrect assertion hardly sells the rest of the interview to me. And fwiw I have downloaded the IPCC report.

Where, other than the words of Koonin, is the evidence he IS correct ?

Greater Manchester shelved it's original ULEZ scheme then produced Plan B, whereby charges would only apply to commercial vehicles entering the city centre, and currently has stopped everything whilst new 'modelling' is carried out.

Whilst it might be highly unusual, nevertheless the CPS guidelines state; "..... unless the court is satisfied that the defendant has waived the right to attend, and the trial will be fair despite the defendant’s absence."

But whilst all cars are liable for the CC charging zone, only non-compliant ones pay for ULEZ. As Fan the Flames said, if this was solely a taxation scam then just extend the CC zone.

If your "perfectly decent car" is petrol engined and less than 18 years old it should be fine as it is EU4 compliant, so no worries.

All complaint and no solution. It's not as if congestion charging was thought up by those 'small Government' 'low taxation' Tories.

Well it is definitely the front end of a TU-22.

Not according to this, a defendant can waive their attendance in Court; https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/defendants-refusal-attend-court-0
