I agree 100%. But it is still a big issue in my opinion, and one that we don’t really have an answer for. Atheism and moving away from extreme religion is likely a good thing, but it leaves behind a massive void to fill.
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has come out in favour of the WASPI women. Let’s see how far this can gets kicked down the road, allowing more of them to die, before any form of compensation is agreed. https://www.ombudsman.org.uk/news-a...communicate-changes-womens-state-pension-age?
Is there no level low enough that Putin will stoop to in his propaganda?, absolutely sick and disgusting, just shows how little he cares for his people... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-68642036?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=65feee133c0b7a6946ae3614&Russian TV airs fake video blaming Ukraine for Moscow attack&2024-03-23T15:40:04.475Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:b8f8fd75-07a2-4302-866a-aeeb2c5e0aff&pinned_post_asset_id=65feee133c0b7a6946ae3614&pinned_post_type=share
Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving. A border post in Portsmouth, that was built with a contribution from the council tax, isn’t viable and may be demolished if another use can’t be found for it. Other border posts, set up to check food imports, around the country are in a similar position.
If a new border control post is built inland like Dover anything south of Cosham could be called France.
I've often passed through UK border control at Rotterdam central station to get the Eurostar and the French at St Pancras International on the way back. The increased checks since brexit and the lack of staff have led to a reduction in service and increased prices. What a ****ing triumph! (© Vin)
In my view religious faith has provided a veneer of civility under which tyrants have operated throughout history.
I'm sure Brexit has led to a number of time consuming border checks and expense that we haven't had to face for years. But if you look at where Cosham is and class anything below that as not England, then Brexit may be looked at differently and actually well worth the inconvenience.
I used Eurostar from St Pancras to Gare du Nord the other day, was fast, simple and efficient I thought.
The Lille/Brussels/Rotterdam and on to Amsterdam service has been reduced. I've had late changes from a direct Eurostar to Rotterdam to Intercity services with transfers in Brussels and Breda. Due to limited capacity at terminals across Europe, Eurostar has been rolling back its services from the UK. In 2022, the operator’s peak capacity dropped by 30 per cent due to Brexit border checks.
I think that shows a very big misunderstanding of history personally. Like it or not, Christianity has played a massive, massive role in creating the country we live in.

I don’t blame you for getting it so wrong. You weren’t the only one that fell for the evil
Unlikely I would think, after all it's only France. He'll find a graph somewhere to discredit them. https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/03/22/why-did-it-take-so-long-to-ban-puberty-blockers/

I’m flying back to the UK on Easter Sunday (there’s a new scheduled flight between Southampton and Alicante that starts today with easyJet - just one day a week at the moment) and I am hoping, on my return to Spain, to jump the passport queue by using my Spanish residency card to go through the EU channel. Did it last time and the border police officer didn’t even look at the passport. It was a great time saver as the queue for the non EU entry was immense, largely because several UK flights generally arrive within minutes of each other.
We flew to Tenerife and Zakynthos from Amsterdam last year, seamless travel. Pre brexit coming to the UK Mrs Jab could use her EU permanent residence ID card backed up by her Indonesian passport if required now she needs a visa with all the cost and pain of dealing with the hostile UK immigration. **** that, family are coming to us we may rent a big villa for a mass gathering of clan Jabbo.
You are welcome to your opinion and I respect that. Being the rather old hippy that I am I'll quote some early Dylan.. ' Through many dark hour I've been thinking about this That Jesus Christ Was betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side. So now I'm leaving I'm weary as hell The confusion I'm feeling Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor If God's on our side He'll stop the next war'
