Please rank in order of credibility;-

 

UFOs
Loch Ness Monster
Ghosts

QAnon/Global Cabal/New World Order
Big cats in Britain
Yeti

 

Personally, I'd put UFOs somewhere around the middle.

 

 

 

Missed this one the other day..

- Big Cats in Britain - reckon there are a couple of pockets of them though like a lot of stuff never anywhere near anyone with a half decent camera (or a phone camera), just a 1kb 20 year old digital camera on its last legs.

- UFOs (but not little green men on earth, just the people on the ground or pilots doing 900mph can't work out what a weather balloon looks like. Little green men somewhere else, yup, loads of them.)

- Yeti (sort of, there is a big ape species yet to be identified by science, likewise, the 'little men' - a little ape species is out there)

- Ghosts - wasn't sure whether to move this up a bit. A memory of a being exists I think however a sentient 'ghost' with a mind of it/s own like in Ghostbusters? maybe not. Getting less sceptical as I get older, perhaps a hope that I'll linger and not just stop.

- A new world order... is the old world order of ££. The power behind the thrones is the cash that slips them

a bung. Not a coordinated effort globally though - Facebook and Twatter arn't giving Putin wads of fivers, the Russian oil barons arn't giving Sunak or Biden the same (Trump maybe...)

- Nessie - not as a big fish thing except on a Friday night.

In order, big cats in Britain, it’s entirely possible the odd large cat escaped captivity and lived for a while in the wild, colonies of them, no way.

UFOs sadly no, not a single pice of evidence except ‘eye witness’ accounts.

Yeti/Sasquatch, no way.

Ghosts, see previous answer.

New world order stuff, not quantifiable so can’t be judged.

Nessie, impossible.

Easy to miss stuff on this thread, what with all the ranting and whining that fills it.

 

That's exactly how I'd rank them, couldn't of put it better myself.

 

I'm almost certain there's big cats around. It's perfectly credible, there's everything they'd need in this land to survive. Anecdotes obviously carry very little weight, but I do think I saw a couple once. Out walking with a girlfriend years back, in the Chilterns. It was just getting dimpsy, dusk not far off, and we both saw two distinct dark shapes in the middle distance. One big, in front, followed by a smaller one. No detail due to low light, but the shapes and movementd were entirely feline.

 

There's a huge distinction between other life forms existing in the universe, and said beings visiting us in the Western world in UFOs. Also, why are the little green men always depicted as green?! Because someone in the USA, in the fifties, decided it I reckon.

 

Anything's possible with Trump...

I’ve seen a few huge pussies around too 42, regards Trump well at least he’s got a rough idea of what planet he’s on which is more than can be said for old Joe.

Wasn't there also a suggestion that they can also reduce the compensation because if he'd admitted to something he hadn't done he wouldn't have occupied expensive space for quite so long 🤔

Covert government strategy to install electronic surveillance in shops raises issues around bias...

Not normally a fan of the Guardian but good for them in regards the article. We are already subject to a ridiculous amount of surveillance as it is. The sentencing that we see is utterly pathetic so in reality why the obsession with cameras.

Watched a documentary last night about physical attacks on police officers and as I’ve said the punishments were utterly derisory.

Articulate as always, prior to the so called “ pandemic “ I never had a great deal of time for him but the guy speaks more sense than 99% of our politicians.
