Too Big, Too Welsh, Too G!
All we need is Sunil banned too, and we will know Dura Ace is holding the ban hammer tonight, for the long needed weeding out of those not made of the right stuff.
I have always liked Big G and have no fucking idea who Sunil is. Are they the graphs arsehole?
There are plenty I would ban, were it within my gift, just for being boring and repetitious.
Sunil_Prasannan. Trains. Movie dialogue quotes. Train stations. Get’s told off by his mum for brining a screen to the dinner table.
Might be a graphs arsehole - but then there’s so many of those.
That's a shit point. It's not Hairspray Hegseth's job to know about things like that. He's got thousands of nerds in the Pentagon with Wikipedia for that. His job is to define, articulate and execute policy for a vast, dysfunctional and incidentally corrupt bureaucracy.
If Cyclefree reads here, just to say I don't really believe in any cancer being incurable. I have no doubt that people in your position have been fully and completely cured and their health restored, and I suspect their stories and protocols are online if one goes searching.
Doctors aren't there to restore your health, they are there to recommend whatever the conventional drugs or surgeries are for your condition, and allocate it according to a formula. Your health is in your hands.
I applaud your approach to life though - that's what we should all be doing.
I 100% disagree with this post. It’s unscientific nonsense and a slur on the medical profession. Sadly some cancers are incurable with what we have now. Anyone promoting non medical approaches is generally a charlatan, and there will be zero evidence to back up the claims.
Thanks. Actually it isn't at all unscientific. We intervene medically on our bodies every single day. We eat three square meals, we drink, we are exposed to mental stresses of various types, we take or lack sleep, we take or lack exercise. All these are things that happen with far higher frequency than any medical protocol and are just as potent. It would be utterly unscientific - it would be quasi-religious even - to assume that only medically diagnosed therapies have a profound impact on the body.
Nor have I advised Cyclefree to ignore her doctors or shun medical treatment - merely that she should inform herself widely about a whole body approach to regaining her health.
As I said, I would be extremely surprised if some people with Cyclefree's exact condition had not been fully restored, and I think the lady herself is quite savvy enough to know when someone is genuine and when someone is selling snake oil, without your pathetic, and under the circumstances rather revolting intervention.
I suspect Cyclefree is rather less gullible than you. Of course the impacts of eating well, exercise etc have an impact on your health and I would never claim otherwise. But perhaps you will give me the mechanisms by which metastatic cancer can be reversed by eating the right food. Because if you can, the next Nobel is coming your way. Without going all expert on you I do lecture on Oncology. You?
I have removed the @ tags, because unlike you, I am not a loathsome insensitive point-scoring little turd who thinks it's OK to launch into an fierce debate about a serious illness whilst tagging in a sufferer.
One mechanism by which food could help reverse cancer which I'm puzzled you're not aware of, is the Warburg effect, wherein cancer cells have an increased need for glucose vs. the body's own cells. Given that the body can happily run on ketones (burning fat) and cancer cells cannot efficiently use ketones, a ketogenic diet, or at the very least a far smaller allowance for carbohydrates and sugars and a far larger one for fats, would seem to be an advisable complement to cancer treatment.
Perhaps you can do some research on it before your next lecture.
Can I just say, with all the miserable c**p in the world, it has been fantastic on here tonight. Even the disagreements have been friendly. We've had. The Cyclefree sickness and a tsunami of love. Big G banned than returning unannounced like a WWE wrestler wielding a chair. Moon as surreal as ever with the PB toilets. If anyone snores it has to be isam (sorry) Amongst others. No one's mentioned a putative race war either. Love you guys. You're funny.
Am I allowed to ask why Big G was banned?
Quoted the Prime Minister who mentioned a verboten subject.

Interesting comment on the P Prune discussion forum wrt the Air India crash.
"and it's now confirmed that the retraction would normally have taken place at about the point where the flight went "pear shaped", I'm going to suggest that the two things are connected. More than that: I'll suggest that the Gear Up command triggered the fault that caused both engines to shut down in very short succession. Nothing the pilots did wrong, and no way they could have known and prevented it. It's going to be difficult to prove though."

One mechanism by which food could help reverse cancer which I'm puzzled you're not aware of, is the Warburg effect, wherein cancer cells have an increased need for glucose vs. the body's own cells. Given that the body can happily run on ketones (burning fat) and cancer cells cannot efficiently use ketones, a ketogenic diet, or at the very least a far smaller allowance for carbohydrates and sugars and a far larger one for fats, would seem to be an advisable complement to cancer treatment.
Perhaps you can do some research on it before your next lecture.
This is a classic example of an area where - because there is not enough money in it - there have not been proper scientific trials.
Yes: the Warburg effect is real. Cancer cells love glucose. And in mice with tumours, Poff et al (2013) showed that a low carbohydrate diet increased survival rates and actually shrank some - although far from all - tumours.
What we need now are some proper human trials, because while there have been studies (Schmidt, 2011 and Fine, 2012) they were more than a decade ago, small and had moderately encouraging but not sensational results.

Unfortunately it has a fatal flaw: it doesn't have a voiceover! That means I can't "watch" it, because mostly I listen to the programs when I am working. The voiceover is an important part and he's left it out. Bad Adam, bad.

Nothing the pilots did wrong, and no way they could have known and prevented it. It's going to be difficult to prove though."
That's possible; hopefully the black boxes and wreckage will give the investigators more data.
That thread also mentions a significant 787 problem: the 51-day reboot problem. If the aircraft has been 'on' for 51 days, it can start reporting inaccurate information to the pilots. The 'solution' was to turn the plane off (i.e. power it down, including from ground support) before 51 days. I don't know if a proper fix was implemented.
"The power cycling is needed to prevent stale data from populating the aircraft's systems, a problem that has occurred on different 787 systems in the past.
According to the directive itself, if the aircraft is powered on for more than 51 days this can lead to "display of misleading data" to the pilots, with that data including airspeed, attitude, altitude and engine operating indications. On top of all that, the stall warning horn and overspeed horn also stop working."
"A previous software bug forced airlines to power down their 787s every 248 days for fear electrical generators could shut down in flight."
F1: starting to write the pre-race ramble. However, due to both starting later (I normally sketch it out after qualifying but it was later than usual yesterday) and going out for a meal around midday this *might* be up a lot later. Depends how the betting markets are looking. Interesting grid.
"We've already been moving assets to the region, including jets, and that is for contingency support across the region," Sir Keir told reporters.
"Our constant message is de-escalate, and therefore everything we're doing, all discussions we're having are to do with de-escalation."
What use are RAF Typhoons in the Israel/Iran situation and how does sending them to the region, presumably to Akrotiri, help? Isn't this just performative?
Minutes after Israel's Haifa refinery was hit by an Iranian ballistic missile, Israeli Air Force jets bombed Iranian oil facilities in Tehran.
Multiple major fires have broken out.
Iran's major outlet for it's oil is China. Russia might be interested in replacing them for cash or some of the military goodies they have. Netanyahu doesn't look like he helping his own people or anyone else for that matter.
President Trump’s military parade drew a subdued crowd to Washington while hundreds of thousands in nationwide demonstrations protested against the administration’s policies
F1: pushed for time so didn't wait for the market to awaken, backed Russell to win each way at 4.6 (alternative is to back on Ladbrokes then hedge on Betfair, where the odds are, unusually, slightly shorter).

This political assassination seems really odd at first glance. Very sad that America is fracturing so badly and yet it looks like it was friendly fire? At least judging by the independent sources rather than mainstream ones who are out there pushing a clear agenda.
I don't really care what his politics are. Someone who tries to kill opposing politicians is a dangerous maniac, regardless.
https://x.com/TreyYingst/status/1933493841392177570 On the strikes against IRGC Air Force leadership: Israel tricked the top command of Iran’s air force into a meeting and then kept them there, I’m told by an Israeli security official.
“We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly we knew how to keep them there.
All these stories we hear about the Israelis don't make them sound very nice do they? I wonder how the Western world would react if the Iranians had out of the blue sent war planes over and killed several Israeli scientists and their families? The US and UK would go bananas
Israel's actions are not out of the blue.
You'll never accept Israel's right to self-defence will you?
I do.
This is not self defence. This is an attack on a hostile nearby country but represents a significant escalation.
It is absolutely 100% self-defence.
Iran is seeking to destroy Israel as an explicit objective. Iran is seeking nuclear weapons. A nuclear Iran is an existential threat to Israel.
You don't need to wait until you've been killed to act in self-defence.

To insist you can only act in self-defence after you've been killed/nuked is to deny the right to self-defence altogether.
Your mistake (and our fundamental point of disagreement) is that you are assuming that Netenyahu is telling the truth.
I believe he is a lying [bad word] whose actions in Gaza mean he has lost the benefit of the doubt.
I am a strong supporter of Israel (and particularly of Benny Gantz) but that doesn’t give them the right to attack their neighbours. Their rationale is as strong as Russia claiming NATO expansion to justify a pre-emotive self-defence assault on Ukraine.

Now, on to your magic cure. I’m going to thank you for this, because I am going to include it in next years lectures. It’s a brilliant example of how social media can drive some people to think that one facet of cancer behaviour holds the secret to treatment that bizarrely the medical profession is somehow ignoring.
There Warburg effect is well known. Cancer cells arise following a series of events, typically are hungry for energy and nutrients to allow for unchecked growth. We know this. Lots of treatments interfere with DNA biosynthesis to prevent cells replicating.
Sadly many cancer types are able to mutate to become resistant to treatment. I strongly suspect this to be true of depriving them of glucose. Evidence suggests that cancer cells can survive without glucose, but prefer not to.
I will also say this. No one w old be more grateful than me if suddenly there was a diet treatment available, with evidence, trials etc that worked. I lost my mum to cancer last year and have had leukemia myself. It touches all of us. But there isn’t a grand conspiracy out there. There are thousands of papers and you know - it doesn’t work. Most cancer treatments are combination therapies. Multiple drug regimes to avoid resistance. There is a possibility that diet can be an adjunct. But you are not eradicating cancer cells by depriving them of glucose alone.
There, nice and polite, even though you choose not to be.

Almost impossible situation for them once they were attacked, but realistically an appeal to the world to help eradicate Hamas, or just something else other than what they have done.

I lost my mum to cancer last year and have had leukemia myself. It touches all of us. But there isn’t a grand conspiracy out there. There are thousands of papers and you know - it doesn’t work. Most cancer treatments are combination therapies. Multiple drug regimes to avoid resistance. There is a possibility that diet can be an adjunct. But you are not eradicating cancer cells by depriving them of glucose alone.
There, nice and polite, even though you choose not to be.

Can I just say, with all the miserable c**p in the world, it has been fantastic on here tonight. Even the disagreements have been friendly. We've had. The Cyclefree sickness and a tsunami of love. Big G banned than returning unannounced like a WWE wrestler wielding a chair. Moon as surreal as ever with the PB toilets. If anyone snores it has to be isam (sorry) Amongst others. No one's mentioned a putative race war either. Love you guys. You're funny.
Am I allowed to ask why Big G was banned?
I spent the afternoon yesterday with one of my mad friends, who I have failed to persuade to learn to drive since 1983, and she does not give a damn. That type of mad that is probably better described as eccentric - and so reasonably "core demograhic" for PB, where some version of "eccentric" is mandatory. She used to more or less run a heritage lighthouse; he has a field full of ham radio aerials in the southern part of the Irish Republic somewhere.
So I completely missed the entire collection of fun and frolics.
AIUI, @Big_G_NorthWales did not even declare UDI from Wales on behalf of the cormorants of the Great Orme, which would have been admirable (and some of us might argue is necessary to protect the Great Orme Road Race). He fell foul of some sort of AI robot protecting PB from a topic which our editorial masters have determined shall not be discussed.
We may (or may not) have a view about that, but since blogs are (in general) islands of benevolent despotism preserved into 2025, enforced by nudges, winks and the ban hammer, they have that authority, and that - ultimately - is that. The Burgh Island Hotel might be a decent comparison in some respects.
Without checking, I may have been dethreaded, which is where I will leave it - an acceptable location to be found pontificating.
The “marching” is pretty ugly because the Army does not actually DO this outside basic training. Unless you’re in a VERY specialized unit like Old Guard at Arlington. They do everything they can to avoid pass-and-review stuff. Which just emphasizes how FOREIGN this all is.
i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.
I realised he was nothing but trouble from the start. A complete wrong un 😇
Too Big, Too Welsh, Too G!
All we need is Sunil banned too, and we will know Dura Ace is holding the ban hammer tonight, for the long needed weeding out of those not made of the right stuff.
I have always liked Big G and have no fucking idea who Sunil is. Are they the graphs arsehole?
There are plenty I would ban, were it within my gift, just for being boring and repetitious.
Sunil_Prasannan. Trains. Movie dialogue quotes. Train stations. Get’s told off by his mum for brining a screen to the dinner table.

This political assassination seems really odd at first glance. Very sad that America is fracturing so badly and yet it looks like it was friendly fire? At least judging by the independent sources rather than mainstream ones who are out there pushing a clear agenda.
I don't really care what his politics are. Someone who tries to kill opposing politicians is a dangerous maniac, regardless.
Apparently, these nutters are often unsure of their own motivations, aside from a general feeling of rage. A sort of Schrodinger's nutcase; their 'motivations' coalesce once they are interviewed by the authorities (if they live...). Perhaps it's a general rage at the world.
Others know very well why they are doing what they are doing.
Full house for Charles III's royal birthday event today (his actual personal birthday is in November) - and they didn't have to wreck the London streets or close the local airport. Nor did the invited guests look miserable and bored.

https://x.com/TreyYingst/status/1933493841392177570 On the strikes against IRGC Air Force leadership: Israel tricked the top command of Iran’s air force into a meeting and then kept them there, I’m told by an Israeli security official.
“We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly we knew how to keep them there.
All these stories we hear about the Israelis don't make them sound very nice do they? I wonder how the Western world would react if the Iranians had out of the blue sent war planes over and killed several Israeli scientists and their families? The US and UK would go bananas
Israel's actions are not out of the blue.
You'll never accept Israel's right to self-defence will you?
I do.
This is not self defence. This is an attack on a hostile nearby country but represents a significant escalation.
It is absolutely 100% self-defence.
Iran is seeking to destroy Israel as an explicit objective. Iran is seeking nuclear weapons. A nuclear Iran is an existential threat to Israel.
You don't need to wait until you've been killed to act in self-defence.
Judge Dredd after the Apocalypse War.
Next time we get our retaliation in first.
To insist you can only act in self-defence after you've been killed/nuked is to deny the right to self-defence altogether.
Your mistake (and our fundamental point of disagreement) is that you are assuming that Netenyahu is telling the truth.
I believe he is a lying [bad word] whose actions in Gaza mean he has lost the benefit of the doubt.
I am a strong supporter of Israel (and particularly of Benny Gantz) but that doesn’t give them the right to attack their neighbours. Their rationale is as strong as Russia claiming NATO expansion to justify a pre-emotive self-defence assault on Ukraine.
I think that Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza amount to war crimes.
But, I certainly think that Iran is an enemy, not just to Israel, but to the West in general.
I think Israel have lost the plot in Gaza. I canunderstand the rage, and the desire to get every last member of Hamas. But what are they achieving now? Almost impossible situation for them once they were attacked, but realistically an appeal to the world to help eradicate Hamas, or just something else other than what they have done.
They have shown, in Iran, that they can strike their enemies with some precision. In Gaza, they have chosen not to.
I don't think that's fair, in Gaza Hamas are embedded in civilian infrastructures in a completely different way to Iran.

You do not need to listen to Netanyahu to believe he is telling the truth. You could listen to the IAEA who had said that Iran was in breach of their obligations before this began. You could listen to America, or the UK or many others who'd spoken before this.
The question is not whether Iran is weaponising uranium, we know they are. The question is what to do about it.
That's not a question of honesty of Netanyahu, its a judgment call.
The situation is nothing like Russia/Ukraine.
Iran calls for the destruction of Israel, Ukraine did not call for the destruction of Russia.
Iran has repeatedly attacked Israel both directly and indirectly, Ukraine had not.
Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, Ukraine had them and voluntarily disarmed them and gave them up.
I really am at a loss as to what we pay these people for. Pretty much everyone thought their productivity forecasts were wildly optimistic at the time. It was no more than a contrivance so that they did not fall out with their political masters and, once again, it has fallen apart in months. And yet we allow their longer term forecasts to tie our hands. It is simple and expensive nonsense.

To a certain mindset, numbers are boring. Especially when they are confronted with numbers that tell them they are wrong.
There was an interesting upsurge in that, in the Royal Navy, between about 1920 and 1935 - “X chaser”, “Trying to blind his seniors with science”.

How did it compare to the Chinese ones, Russia's victory day or even our own various bits of military pomp.
Were the uniforms smart ? Did they march in time ? Any fly pass ?
Not many areas where North Korea sets the standard, but in fascist parades they remain unsurpassed.
Surely marching lost its military utility the moment we stopped forming big red squares and Napoleonic columns in the middle of battlefields? Perhaps the US army has found something better to do with its recruit's time?

He was previously appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board in 2019 by Governor Tim Walz. He previously served on the Governor’s Workforce Development Council, appointed in 2016 by then-Governor Mark Dayton.
The current leading theory is that he targeted these specific democrats because they voted to rescind illegal immigrant rights in Minnesota.
This is looking like a case of friendly fire, or the left eating itself alive.
This was clearly not the case. Unsurprisingly you are participating in the usual process of hard right obfuscation and water muddying every time one of these sad events happen. It would be great if you retracted your posts.
If Cyclefree reads here, just to say I don't really believe in any cancer being incurable. I have no doubt that people in your position have been fully and completely cured and their health restored, and I suspect their stories and protocols are online if one goes searching.
Doctors aren't there to restore your health, they are there to recommend whatever the conventional drugs or surgeries are for your condition, and allocate it according to a formula. Your health is in your hands.
I applaud your approach to life though - that's what we should all be doing.
I 100% disagree with this post. It’s unscientific nonsense and a slur on the medical profession. Sadly some cancers are incurable with what we have now. Anyone promoting non medical approaches is generally a charlatan, and there will be zero evidence to back up the claims.
Thanks. Actually it isn't at all unscientific. We intervene medically on our bodies every single day. We eat three square meals, we drink, we are exposed to mental stresses of various types, we take or lack sleep, we take or lack exercise. All these are things that happen with far higher frequency than any medical protocol and are just as potent. It would be utterly unscientific - it would be quasi-religious even - to assume that only medically diagnosed therapies have a profound impact on the body.
Nor have I advised Cyclefree to ignore her doctors or shun medical treatment - merely that she should inform herself widely about a whole body approach to regaining her health.
As I said, I would be extremely surprised if some people with Cyclefree's exact condition had not been fully restored, and I think the lady herself is quite savvy enough to know when someone is genuine and when someone is selling snake oil, without your pathetic, and under the circumstances rather revolting intervention.
I suspect Cyclefree is rather less gullible than you. Of course the impacts of eating well, exercise etc have an impact on your health and I would never claim otherwise. But perhaps you will give me the mechanisms by which metastatic cancer can be reversed by eating the right food. Because if you can, the next Nobel is coming your way. Without going all expert on you I do lecture on Oncology. You?
I have removed the @ tags, because unlike you, I am not a loathsome insensitive point-scoring little turd who thinks it's OK to launch into an fierce debate about a serious illness whilst tagging in a sufferer.
One mechanism by which food could help reverse cancer which I'm puzzled you're not aware of, is the Warburg effect, wherein cancer cells have an increased need for glucose vs. the body's own cells. Given that the body can happily run on ketones (burning fat) and cancer cells cannot efficiently use ketones, a ketogenic diet, or at the very least a far smaller allowance for carbohydrates and sugars and a far larger one for fats, would seem to be an advisable complement to cancer treatment.
Perhaps you can do some research on it before your next lecture.
Calm down. I’m sorry if you think I shouldn’t have tagged Cyclefree - I did it almost automatically and you may think it was wrong. I wasn’t trying to score points, and you know, she is a tough old bird who can look out for herself.
Now, on to your magic cure. I’m going to thank you for this, because I am going to include it in next years lectures. It’s a brilliant example of how social media can drive some people to think that one facet of cancer behaviour holds the secret to treatment that bizarrely the medical profession is somehow ignoring.
There Warburg effect is well known. Cancer cells arise following a series of events, typically are hungry for energy and nutrients to allow for unchecked growth. We know this. Lots of treatments interfere with DNA biosynthesis to prevent cells replicating.
Sadly many cancer types are able to mutate to become resistant to treatment. I strongly suspect this to be true of depriving them of glucose. Evidence suggests that cancer cells can survive without glucose, but prefer not to.

I lost my mum to cancer last year and have had leukemia myself. It touches all of us. But there isn’t a grand conspiracy out there. There are thousands of papers and you know - it doesn’t work. Most cancer treatments are combination therapies. Multiple drug regimes to avoid resistance. There is a possibility that diet can be an adjunct. But you are not eradicating cancer cells by depriving them of glucose alone.
There, nice and polite, even though you choose not to be.
If we are wandering off into a discussion about cancer, four of my immediate family have had cancer. Two are dead (male) and two have recovered (female). Two were treated in the UK (male). Two were treated in Australia (female). How strong is the link between cancer recovery rates and health care systems?
Also leads onto the next thread on governments doing the basic stuff.

Just got up. It is Sunday after all. First thing I see on this thread is yet another opinion poll about what? Time the Polling industry gave us a rest especially "More in Common" who are becoming a bore, Luke is obviously doing very well out of it but in the slightly amended words of the lady from Bristol"Not another opinion poll".

The soldiers aren't goose-stepping & the marching isn't even synchronised. It's more of an amble than a march.
Also notable that it reflects the diversity of America.
And the soldiers even smile & wave to the crowd.
It's a very American military parade & so different from the Russian & Chinese military parades.
(Did the alert have anything to do with this outcome? Quite possibly, but I haven't seen any more than what I just wrote.)
"and it's now confirmed that the retraction would normally have taken place at about the point where the flight went "pear shaped", I'm going to suggest that the two things are connected. More than that: I'll suggest that the Gear Up command triggered the fault that caused both engines to shut down in very short succession. Nothing the pilots did wrong, and no way they could have known and prevented it. It's going to be difficult to prove though."

Yes: the Warburg effect is real. Cancer cells love glucose. And in mice with tumours, Poff et al (2013) showed that a low carbohydrate diet increased survival rates and actually shrank some - although far from all - tumours.
What we need now are some proper human trials, because while there have been studies (Schmidt, 2011 and Fine, 2012) they were more than a decade ago, small and had moderately encouraging but not sensational results.

That thread also mentions a significant 787 problem: the 51-day reboot problem. If the aircraft has been 'on' for 51 days, it can start reporting inaccurate information to the pilots. The 'solution' was to turn the plane off (i.e. power it down, including from ground support) before 51 days. I don't know if a proper fix was implemented.
"The power cycling is needed to prevent stale data from populating the aircraft's systems, a problem that has occurred on different 787 systems in the past.
According to the directive itself, if the aircraft is powered on for more than 51 days this can lead to "display of misleading data" to the pilots, with that data including airspeed, attitude, altitude and engine operating indications. On top of all that, the stall warning horn and overspeed horn also stop working."
"A previous software bug forced airlines to power down their 787s every 248 days for fear electrical generators could shut down in flight."

F1: starting to write the pre-race ramble. However, due to both starting later (I normally sketch it out after qualifying but it was later than usual yesterday) and going out for a meal around midday this *might* be up a lot later. Depends how the betting markets are looking. Interesting grid.
"We've already been moving assets to the region, including jets, and that is for contingency support across the region," Sir Keir told reporters.
"Our constant message is de-escalate, and therefore everything we're doing, all discussions we're having are to do with de-escalation."
What use are RAF Typhoons in the Israel/Iran situation and how does sending them to the region, presumably to Akrotiri, help? Isn't this just performative?

Most of the fly past was cancelled due to weather.

The “marching” is pretty ugly because the Army does not actually DO this outside basic training. Unless you’re in a VERY specialized unit like Old Guard at Arlington. They do everything they can to avoid pass-and-review stuff. Which just emphasizes how FOREIGN this all is.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.
@maxberger.bsky.social
This what happens when you let a straight person plan a parade.
Others know very well why they are doing what they are doing.
Full house for Charles III's royal birthday event today (his actual personal birthday is in November) - and they didn't have to wreck the London streets or close the local airport. Nor did the invited guests look miserable and bored.

You're comparing apples and oranges.
The question is not whether Iran is weaponising uranium, we know they are. The question is what to do about it.
That's not a question of honesty of Netanyahu, its a judgment call.
The situation is nothing like Russia/Ukraine.
Iran calls for the destruction of Israel, Ukraine did not call for the destruction of Russia.
Iran has repeatedly attacked Israel both directly and indirectly, Ukraine had not.
Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, Ukraine had them and voluntarily disarmed them and gave them up.
To make that comparison is absurd.
I really am at a loss as to what we pay these people for. Pretty much everyone thought their productivity forecasts were wildly optimistic at the time. It was no more than a contrivance so that they did not fall out with their political masters and, once again, it has fallen apart in months. And yet we allow their longer term forecasts to tie our hands. It is simple and expensive nonsense.
There was an interesting upsurge in that, in the Royal Navy, between about 1920 and 1935 - “X chaser”, “Trying to blind his seniors with science”.

Also leads onto the next thread on governments doing the basic stuff.
It only happened because the French know how to do it...
