As for foreign policy, I have really no idea. Personally speaking I'm pacifist in nature. I'm all for trading with any tom, **** or harry. I would like the country to mix with all others culturally. But militarily I would be happy to keep our armed forces at home and do what their name suggests, defend. Japan has done quite ok being pacifist since WW2 so I don't really see why we cannot flourish on a similar tract

Because that was in the terms for their surrender.
 

the nobel prize winners quote is somewhat blind i feel, what of corruption? horse trading? kick backs (saudi planes ;) )

the reliance on almost robotic humanity is beyond my realm of faith.

road tolls are a pile of [Poor language removed], whos paid for the roads in the first place? the tax payer - road tax - petrol duty - VAT on the vehicles. Its just another gouge at motorists, but business is fine because it gets better rates on fuel and any fees incured on fleet transport. so joe public absorbs the hit for business whilst business also gets rich selling or supplying to joe public.

goose that laid the golden egg.

im a little surprised you are fine with law and order, if find it a most contentious and divisive area of modern day britain.
You mentioned pensioners not able to afford council tax earlier, yet prisoners get sky tv, video games machines, health and exercise experts, education, 3 squares and a cosy warm bed.

what was that about you pay for what you get?

i am not defending government as it is now or has been before, the current lot voted themselves bumper pensions, less time in the job and more expenses. the persons providing it (the tax payer) had no say. the public wasnt considered regards iraq. the EU constitution is being bulldozed through. its one episode after another, but with no guarantees over a change in regime then we are looking at a pandoras box situation.

As for the wisdom of crowds, do you know what panic dynamics are? to use an example - fire in an office - smoke, heat, noise, lack of training, a panic situation.
so russia are sabre rattling, bombers are approaching british air space, have the people dedicated enough resources to defence? how is the law and order capitol decided upon? and is there margin in case of emergency?

britain isnt japan, theres no point comparing with hindsight or anything else. and just because a country doesnt commit force to a campaign they can sign a declaration that they lend support to actions of others.
 

Yes and it was something I had posted earlier.

A court in England basically said that if they wanted to show Gore's movie to children, they had to admit several factual errors.
