    That doesn’t say what you think it does. Boris doesn’t say what PD confirmed.
    What he says is even worse.

    - Does Britain possess samples of this [Novickok]?
    - People from Porton Down...
    - So they have the samples?
    - They do.
  • This fits into my wider point. It is the actions of Boris that seem to confirm the worldview of the Corbynista.

    Given their boy has a serious chance of becoming PM at the next election that scares me a lot.

    We could have two de facto Russian popinjays in the White House and No 10 by 2022.

    Honestly I don't know where to begin with this. TMI for starters?

    I am sedated but conscious for mine, so I can see what is happening on the same big screen as the operator. Fascinating stuff, and nothing else I have ever seen on TV comes close to the big reveal when they go round a corner and meet a stage 3 tumour nobody was expecting to be there.

  • SandpitSandpit Posts: 56,022

    Not true, it is only in Feb and March we saw a crossover.

    As per the article

    In January, for example, the Met investigated eight murders in London. The NYPD looked into 18 killings.

    And that means that while Scotland Yard has opened 47 homicide inquiries so far this year, New York has in fact opened 50 murder files.
    So in NY the murder rate is falling rapidly, whereas in London it’s at its highest rate for over a decade. And you don’t think that’s a real problem?

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/01/south-london-stabbing-death-brings-capitals-tally-to-31-this-year

    If I lived in London I’d be seriously worried about such a rise in the murder rate, and be asking questions of the police commissioner about what efforts were going into reducing the number of serious crimes.
  • RobDRobD Posts: 60,317

    Didn't the inventor defect to the US? It's highly likely they know the chemical composition.

    Up until three years ago, the London murder rate was in decline. In 2014, just 83 people were murdered there, under half the average level recorded in the 18 years to 2008, and despite a population meaningfully higher.

    Yet since I left for Los Angeles, the London murder rate has gone through the roof.

    The solution is clear: I must be offered an incredible sum of money to live in London.

    OT. Having just had lunch with two friends I took the opportunity of asking them what they knew of the 'Jewish blood libel' Both looked blank. They had no idea what I was talking about.

    As I only had a slight idea I looked it up when I got back. Apparently it refers to the practice of removing the blood of murdered gentile children to help kneed the unleavened bread at Passover. Cyclefree thought this was a grotesque example of anti-semitism (which of course it would be)

    My question is whether anyone has ever heard of this example of anti-Semitism and if they have how it could possibly relate to the case against Corbyn and Labour?

    Depends on how well educated you are. Anyone who knows anything about the Crusades or medieval history would know about it.

    In relation to Corbyn, the allegation is that he has promoted - by inviting to Parliament and praising - Raed Salah, who has been convicted of spreading this blood
    Iibel.

    Other more up to date examples include - wholly untrue allegations - that Jews helping in Haiti sought to harvest organs for sale. (Baroness Tonge got into trouble a few years back over that one.) The same allegation has been made only with Palestinians as victims. Some Labour members, it is alleged, have spread similar rumours.

    Had an experience with the negative side of gambling today.

    Namely a relative, looking close to a breakdown to my non-expert eyes, came to see me today asking for a loan. I assume this is to pay off some urgent gambling debts.

    So while betting, political or otherwise, is a talking point, entertainment, a bit of fun and even a chance to earn a little money to PBers there can also be very negative effects on some people, including those caught up as collateral damage.

    The difficulty with the current Democratic nominee and POTUS market is that its more likely than not that some weighty and well funded individuals will come forward as they see Trump as vulnerable but standing. There is also the possibility of someone running against him (if he survives that long) for the GOP nomination further fracturing the Republicans.

    Sanders is a no never mind just bad value. I get a feeling the party hierarchy will want someone else.
