Interesting dynamic occurring around my bird table . A few days ago I noticed a wood pigeon and a collared dove scrapping . They would fly at each other trying to gain poll position at the table . After about two days it seems the smaller collared dove has come out on top . They sit a few inches apart on the fence and the woody now waits until the dove has finished before having its turn . Never come across this before . Anyone else ?

Any news?

Try getting a deeply religious person to accept evolution as scientific fact - like trying to flog a dead horse

I'll try to find a LinxedIn screenshot. That might penetrate the conditioning.

Conditioned 😂😂😂😂 Now let’s think about those reeducation camps 🤔a favourite of the left. You are thinking wrong 😂😂

Actually watched the video - what sit and listen for the whole 40 mins without thinking 'bollox, lies, absolute rubbish?' Once a person has been condition to think in a certain way they have no time for oppising viewpoints, let alone 40 minutes

It doesn't stop at any kind of news bias though does it, there's the feckin rip off licence fee, sending threatening letters to everyone who don't watch their bullsh1t or want to, threats of home invasion,and court appearances and don't get me started on the power trip enforcement cnuts who they employ to harass people. then there's the number of pedophiles, sexual predators and other feckin' weirdos they hide, even long after they are repeatedly reported, it's nothing more than a sinister organisation rife with corruption and secrets.

I mainly judge by my personal experiences. I have spent entire nights in our local A&E with my elderly mother, being ignored, while she spews her guts out. One occasion she went to the hospital on her own and it was left to other patients and their friends/relatives to help her as she struggled with acute pain. Yes sometimes the NHS works great, I am aware of that, but in my area it is a lottery to say the least. If I or any of my family need emergency help now we will either go to Bristol or Cardiff as the service in the local hospitals is just so poor. It may be better for you if you are in England - don't forget that in Wales we have had muppets managing the health services for 25 years or so. My dad was let down badly by his GP and then when he had a fall at home he could not summon help and when the neighbours raised the alarm it was too late. If his GP had actually seen him instead of just giving him repeat prescription month after month he might still be here. My wife had a terrible battle with our local GP to get her mum assessed for dementia. Finally after eighteen months she got referred, and the memory clinic said there would have been more help available for her Alzheimer's if they had seen her earlier. I could go on, but in my area health services are terrible and don't work. Also bear in mind that there are many alternative funding systems available. NHS Wales has a budget of £9 billion. The best part of one billion of that goes on free prescriptions. This is partly a waste of money, and if they followed the model in England (where it is means tested) they might be able to afford one or two more nurses in my local A&E (it works out the Newport area spends £53 million on free prescriptions - if even a tenth of them had to be paid for that could potentially pay for an extra 40 nurses and thirty nursing assistants). Why do we in Wales give everyone free prescriptions? And that is just one example of terrible waste - I bet there are more... As for the BBC, I think they make a lot of good programmes, and I love listening to the cricket on the BBC radio. But what I object to is having no choice but to fund them. I think they have a very strong political agenda. So do many other organisations - but I choose not to fund them if I don't agree with their point. Why am I forced to pay for the BBC? If the funding model changed to subscription then as long as lots of people like the output they would still be well funded.

Well done. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I use a bit more two stroke oil in aftermarket pistons and cylinders, especially the first tank.

So, on the BBC. It's clearly not perfect, far from it on some occasions. In terms of impartial and balanced news portrayal though it's got to be up there with the best of them. Fox News, GB News, The Morning Star, Daily Mirror, Daily Mail - seriously? Not many countries, if any, have anything in the same league. Again comparing to the US, which seems to be aspirational, it's way above anything they've got. Bottom line: if the BBC is slated by the right wing as being too Left and slated by the left wing as being too Right, then it must be somewhere near the middle.

Learn the difference between I could or I have. Assuming makes an !! The “ you’ve missed the point “ or “ you don’t get it “ is wheeled out so often by the enlightened left it’s starting to look a bit like the ist or ism accusations 🥱 Those peaceful gunmen at the bus stop this morning got the point though in the end 👍👍

No thanks, not interested. Yes, I'm sure you could do that, but to what end? It wouldn't do this site any favours that's for sure. I don't suppose anyone else wants to see content like that either. Why do you watch stuff like that? Plus you'd be doing the terrorists a favour, publicity is what they want. No one is disputing the fact that Hamas , the terrorist group, committed atrocities. You missed the point here somehow. If you actually watched that video, or similar, you might be able to understand the assertions that the presenters are making.

Yes. There’s how we do it in the UK and how they do it in the US. No other choices or variations exist or can exist.

Of course, your view, but worldwide the NHS and BBC are still up there among the best... and far better than the US system that Farage would favour. For healthcare we have an option though, free at the point of use and paid for by tax or land you with a massive bill when you are least able to work and pay for it... example here - I think most of us have children, might make you think twice knowing that they land you with a $20k bill just for being born. A good chance a lot of us will get a cancer in our lives... and a US style $100k+ on our doorstep. I'd be guessing that a lot pensioners will not have private health insurance as a part of their pension... so any end of life care and guess what... that bill, again could be $100k+ depends on the care needed.... comes right off the inheritance. So my opinion, different to yours is that the free at point of use model we have is probably the best. As for "don't work"... explain how they don't work - NHS generally works though there are specific cases - always will be - where it didn't work. In politics I think in all my life the politicians campaign on "fix the NHS" - so either the last many years have been led by incompetent health ministers or "fix the NHS" is just another cheap opposition politician line trying to get votes.

I imagine that was an interesting conversation.
