  • I understand the British troops are pulling out of the dangerous part of Afghanistan?

    Before I add more I am British.

    All I have seen on TV is the news that we are pulling out, no explanation as to why?

    The Americans will take over that part.

    Why?

    I do understand that many lives have been lost, not all British or American but innocent Afghans.

    There is no way we can win this war we are just now looking for a way to withdraw without losing face.

    This latest withdrawal by the British is demeaning to say the least, what is it all about?

  • Roman emporor constantine, is this a historical fact, any proof?

    When he embraced Christianity he gathered all the leaders together and told them to get the new testament corrected so that it would not have so many contradictions, they did this but there were so many contradicts because there were so many books that were in direct confrontation with each other! These were binned altogether.

    Any historical proof?

  • Have the tree huggers finally gone mad?

    Stanstead airport UK closed because of tree huggers protest.

    Would you support these nuts?

    If all flights and road transport was to stop in the UK would this appease them.

    How did they all get to the airport?

  • Any one from Glasgow remember this?

    My first memory goes back to the age of two years, I was born 1938.

    I lived with my Gran in Princes Street, the memory is waking up in bed with her, a very large comfy bed, it was inside a very large metal tank, how it got into the house I don't know.

    It was to prevent bombs dropping on our heads.

    Have I just imagined this or does any one else remember a large tank in their house?
