    European Referendum

    Simply put, I am amazed that some people who discuss the EU think it sprang into existence in 1993.

    joe90 & any other holocaust deniers

    Also I think it was Goebbels who said if you are going to tell a lie, tell a big one and tell it often. But there is really no reason to disbelieve the history books on this one, as there is nothing really convincing otherwise. Happy to look at anything., where do you suggest I start? But...

    joe90 & any other holocaust deniers

    I suppose the same 'proof' as the rest of history? Footage, eyewitness accounts of Allied, German troops, and Jewish people. Nazi documentation. Conversations of German POWs secretly recorded. Hitler planned to starve 30m Russians(or those peoples controlled by Russia. This is...

    joe90 & any other holocaust deniers

    I have no reason to disbelieve the figures but philosophically does it matter whether a regime kills six million or six? Once you kill a single person based on creed,race, sexuality, disability or any other difference, then you are evil. After that, it is just a matter of degree. I'm not...

    European Referendum

    Lost for words

    I was going to say amazing how by and large their reaction to fire made things worse eg flapping a cloth at it or running around the place. But then I thought why expect idiots like these to do anything sensible anyway? I watched it half the way through , some of it is eye watering but most...

    Are the Tories toughing up?

    That's a much better illustration than the raw numbers. It's also a good argument for STV which would give UKIP seats more in proportion to their vote share; but that would mean too much re shaping of constituencies. I think UKIP aren't worth a single vote myself, but a democracy should...

    Did Brown/Blair borrow too much?

    I said you can leave the commentary aside ( I agree with you on the 'wars') and look at the figures. The figures are there to be seen, or do you have alternative source?

    But he doesn't have any NI or Wales emblems on him, he's dressed as an English Knight!

    The Germans

    As there is an opt out already, which is not being reported by the papers, he'll do the usual posturing then announce a 'victory' over getting a concession that was already there. Thatcher and Major did a similar kind of posturing over the SEA and Maastricht.
