The EU debate - Part II

I don't think the Armchair has heard of the last 4.

 

The Armchair has actually.

 

To stop this escalation of violence and extremism everyone must unite against the extremists, no matter who they are, and not create divides in society by discriminating against different sections and fostering hate.

 

People like Armchair are inadvertently falling into exactly the type of trap that groups like ISIS are setting. They want a war with the West and their terror campaign is designed to whip up hatred and divide people. Armchair needs to try and see the bigger picture, as you say it's maniacs from both religious extremists and far right fascist groups, a tiny minority, who are trying to pit the majority of peaceful against each other.

 

Whilst I don't think it would precipitate a company like Amazon leaving the UK, they have today announced that they are looking into the technology of delivery by drones @NowsufferinginSpain
Interesting development on the debate we were having the other day .....

 

Probably because the UK might actually go for it.

Drones can fly from anywhere, though. But I think they're dangerous right now, tbh.

 

They've been looking into that for awhile, tbh I think it's more for use in bigger countries like the States than in Britain. It is worrying how automated society is getting though.

 

The article I was reading was saying that the US public are paranoid about drones, and that Amazon are testing them in the UK where there doesn't seem to be the opposition that there is in the US. There would be massive issues to overcome if this ever got off the ground (pun intended) including, security, privacy, safety, CAA issues. Then there is the fact that it could put thousands out of jobs. The idea is to have 100ft wide 'lanes' in the sky where delivery drones can operate, that alone would probably reduce house prices, block out the sun etc. It's interesting stuff mind.

 

As I said in the post above, there are massive issues around security, safety, privacy etc with drones. The FBI are very concerned that a drone could be used to deliver a bomb on Western targets (although there is a massive irony in that given the US drone strikes all over the middle east). Also as I mentioned, the addition of drone delivery for commercial purposes wouldn't mean Amazon could leave the UK, there are still warehouses all over UK, distribution, packaging and a big corporate base here. I reckon Amazon would go for it it terms of delivery though (although it would only apply to packages under 5lbs)

 

It's academic, I have more chance of making PM than Corbyn, anyway.

 

So does my dead dad.

GSK exports a large amount of what they produce here. So, yes, with the pound devalued, it's attractive to them.

Unfortunately, as a whole, the U.K. imports more than it exports. Therefore the sinking pound will eventually bring price inflation. That's if anybody still has any money left to spend by then!

 

Dooooooooom!...... how do the swiss and others survive ffs?

 

On buried Nazi gold, flogging watches and mostly eating chocolate.

 

Sounds good to me,maybe thats the place to be.Expensive apparently.

 

The Swiss? It's called other people's money!....

 

The Swiss have a free trade agreement with the EU, including free movement.

 

Sounds better and better!...... maybe we should all go
