When this first broke, SM and then news outlets were running with the story that the pilots were Russian and Ukrainian.

When it comes to lacking debating skills, consistently resorting to referring dismissively to those holding contrary views to yours as "commies" or "lefties", whilst personally I couldn't care less, is obviously intended as a ( not too clever ) barb. As to the people I referred to, some are in large scale property development, others are land owners whose land is used for produce supplied to major retailers.

As you might agree, it is difficult to "debate" with entrenched inflexible views, so why should we bother to try with you ? Strangely, I also know successful and experienced business owners, with interests in property and with substantial land holdings, many of whom hold views that do not totally concur with yours.

I wonder if you speak to the same people that SOGgy does.

There you go again. "Blinkered" doesn't go far enough to describe your viewpoint. I acknowledge you are entitled to your opinion, but reserve the right to say it is bollox.

You were doing so well up to this point, then you let your prejudices slip out. It's almost autonomic with you.

This is why I oppose the death penalty https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwdr71xpj4gpo "A man who spent 41 years on death row in the US after being convicted of killing a woman has been released on bail after prosecutors said newly analysed DNA evidence did not link him to the crime."

Q) Who was it who said, before the ( non binding ) referendum, "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the Remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it." A) Nigel Farage.

Johnson, Truss & Kwarteng, Sunak........

"Curiouser and curiouser said Alice". The Times reports that one of the five men arrested at RAF Fairford dialled 999 for the Police an hour before the farmer's wife did.

Good. Won't happen for a few years, but good that it is being discussed.

My wife was a Junior Blue in the late 60's, and she says they are "not my club".
