It is still there; it expands and contracts seasonally, and is usually at its greatest extent in September and October. Last year it was measured at it's seventh smallest size since monitoring began. https://ozone.unep.org/2024-ozone-hole-ranked-7th-smallest-recovery-began

Despite the Republican majority in the Senate, Pete Hegseth only passes the vote for appointment as Secretary of Defence on Vice-President Vance's tie breaking vote.

So we now do cost benefit analysis ahead of sentencing ? At what value of x, where x=£40k multiplied by number of years in the sentence, do we set the limit, beyond which we cull the prisoner ?

As a tax payer I am very happy that I might be considered amongst the "younger members" despite being 3 months away from my 65th birthday. Also, in the last 44 years I have had to contribute to the upkeep of plenty of other "scum", including the Moors murderers, the Krays, Peter Sutcliffe, IRA bombers, Ian Huntley, etc, etc, etc.

Yet, in a nation that has the death penalty, mass shootings at schools happen many times a year. Is calling for the death penalty in the UK a deterrant or retribution ?

Once the concept is placed back on the Statute books, it is there to be amended further down the line.

If you have inferiority issues I apologise for triggering them.

Obviously something of your posting style has had an influence on me.

Put him in an oubliette and lose the key. Let him rot, slowly.

If you don't wish to be informed and educated you don't have to read my posts.

Hitler and his cronies never referred to themselves as "Nazi" as the term is a Bavarian colloquial insult for a thick peasant farmer. The term came into use to describe his regime amongst Germans exiled by his rise to power.

Probably more listen to Jo'B than watch GBeebies.

A degree of autism does not excuse being a complete knob, ( even in my case ).

What Trump was referring to was the first sustainable nuclear chain reaction, which indeed took place in Chicago. The team that acheived this was led by the Italian Enrico Fermi, and included Leo Szilard ( Hungarian ), Walter Zinn ( Canadian ), alongside American scientists, and built on work by Nils Bohr, a Dane who had been smuggled out of Europe in the bomb bay of an RAF Mosquito. Presumably Trump was reading from a speech prepared and written by somebody else, and after all it is just 'alternative' facts.

Was anything in his speech true ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg451wx2n63o "Scientists based in Manchester, not the US, made the "key breakthrough" in splitting the atom, despite Donald Trump's claims in his inaugural speech, says a lecturer at one of the city's universities. The 47th US President erroneously listed the feat among his country's achievements during his address in Washington DC, after he was sworn on Monday. In fact, the honour belongs to New Zealander Sir Ernest Rutherford, who demonstrated atoms could be split during experiments at Victoria University of Manchester in 1919."

Republican Senator John Fetterman obviously didn't understand the dress code for the inauguration ceremony;

I assume that the Greek Gods, up on top of Mount Olympus, were quite sanguine concerning "Greek practices", especially Sappho on Lesbos.

Trump came away and said "it wasn't a very good sermon." He has been as graceless in victory as he was in defeat.

One of Trump's day one directives was to remove Bolton's security detail, put in place after he received death threats for criticising Donnie.

It is country built on the concept of God granting them the right to take by force any land they want that might belong to other, non- white Christian, peoples.

Only Fools and Horses now comes with a trigger warning. ( Apparently this is actually true ).

If anybody was wondering what would happen should a spoilt, brattish, petulant 6 year old become leader of a country, now you know. This isn't Presidential rule, it is a vendetta against anybody who he thinks has ever slighted him.

Why did Melania wear a hat with such a wide brim ?
