    So who is behind hurryupharry.org?

    "Harry’s Place is an amateur blog. Editors and writers are not paid. Contributions are made in people’s spare time. There are no full-time staff members who monitor discussions or any co-ordinated roster of volunteers. It is entirely haphazard. It is the hobby of a small group of people."

    They don't even put their real names to their 'articles'.

    Are you a contributor... Lucy Lips?

    On a lighter note... something for the weekend for both the paranoid and the conspiracy theorists alike!

    I posted that article as it was the first. there were more from well recognised papers.
    TBH what I did get from it is that he is a lefty and seems to go into the world of conspiracy...He'll been linking 9/11 to Salisbury next. <laugh>
    I just went on his Twitter and read a few posts...The bloke is a muppet. He got sacked from his job for being a muppet. Doesn't like Isreal and Tories and talks a load of 'old carp' At least use someone that doesn't have an agenda.

    #Breaking Counter-terror police are treating the death of 68-year-old Russian businessman Nikolay Glushkov as murder, Scotland Yard says

    This guy was No1 on Putin's list but I guess it can't be Russia's fault...he crushed his own neck.

    STOP PRESS : Corbyn to make a statement to Parliament, that tragically, Glushkov must have accidentally buttoned his own shirt collar too tight on the day he died

    No Goldie, it couldn't have had anything to do with Putin or Russia. Like the other Russian that stabbed himself 30 times while his hands were tied behind his back...it can be done so don't blame Putin!

    People are sacked for all sorts of reasons... and some should be and are not - here's a fun quiz

    https://www.theguardian.com/politic...government-priti-patel-what-do-you-have-to-do

    But he makes some interesting points that you have chosen to ignore - why is that?

    One day we will all realise that an opinion is just that... neither more or less valid than anyone else's - or mine... or yours.

    Ellers, there's been plenty of measured, reasonable thought on here over the last couple of days. Significantly more than the predictable bullshit spouted by the all knowing, line-towing media. I can't see that there's a more decent stance on this than to expect our all mighty leaders to handle this potentially extremely explosive situation with care and to work on the basis of innocent until proven guilty.

    I was thinking a thread merge could be in order. Everyone played their part on that one, it was a brilliant thread.

    This all comes down to trust and trying to work out who and what you believe, and to be honest, I think we stand very little chance of being able to come to satisfactory conclusion.

    Surely if they have proof it’s the Russians then the government would have briefed the opposition? It’s not partisan or point scoring situation - or at least shouldn’t be.

    Yeah I was a bit of a muppet in that thread which I regret. I think it was you who told me to read up on something which I did. That led to something else. I read up on time travel (well pictures of people dressed in modern clothes in 1920 or something). quite interesting.
