I wish I could disagree with you, but I think the reality is more and more people are waking up the reality. Look what happened in Germany. In 2015 crowds applauded the new immigrants arriving. Now in 2025 all recent polling shows majority think it has gone too far and not been managed. Sounds familiar. By the way anybody who bothers to actually read Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech from 1968 will see he was not a racist but a very wise man. Yes the language is now dated, but he actually undertsated the case. In many ways it is far worse than he foresaw.

Fair play, that looks awesome.

So what you are saying is you only tested the outside. If it has been kilned quickly the outside will be dry and the middle sopping wet. You need to split a large piece and test the centre. All wood will burn well if dry.

A photo of the cut end would help. And how did you test the moisture? In the middle or the edge? It makes a massive difference.

You need to attach the photo. But also when you tested the moisture did you split a piece and test the middle?

Yes very true. He even seems an elder statesman of politics now. Apparently he has quite a strong influence over the current Labour Party.

I haven’t seen the recent series about it but I have followed this for over thirty years. It is still not over; a suspect will be coming to trial next year in the US I believe. Incredible that the UK and US governments have known from day one the truth, and still the farce of investigation continues. It is the most incredible waste of public money. Can you imagine any other person found guilty of murdering 270 people being released after just 8 years?

That is a very good point. Reform certainly are influential, but only because they keep talking sense about issues which are of grave concern. EG they keep banging on about immigration, but if none of the public thought it was a concern they would get no more airtime than the Monster Raving Luny party.

LOL... to be fair I said I would not go to Pillgwenlly in Newport after dark....but thanks for the mention!

And perhaps because they are getting a fair bit of support!

Israel have a history of defending themselves and prioritising their country's safety. Horrible things happen in war it is true. But can you imagine if they hadn't responded strongly to the 7 October massacre? Palestinians have a habit of committing acts of terror throughout the world in collaboration with Iran. The biggest terrorist act in the UK was carried out by palestinians. I know which lot I would rather disappear.

To be fair Reform are setting the agenda despite having only a handful of seats, so they do indeed get a lot of airtime as they have huge influence.

Bear in mind you will never get both sides from the BBC. They are highly pro-Palestine.

Yes. 100% oak.

If anyone still thinks our judiciary and tribunal process are sane they need to look at the tribunal decision for the nurse in Fife (Sandie Peggy). If you don’t know the case she was disciplined for objecting to a man in the female changing rooms at work. The judgement stated that there is no evidence that a man in a woman’s only space is any more of a threat to a woman than a woman would be. Here is a verbatim quote “In our view, having read all the documents, there is very far from sufficient reliable evidence to establish as a fact that a trans woman who is legally and biologically male is a greater risk to any person assigned female at birth within a changing-room environment at a workplace than another woman assigned female at birth” What planet do they live on?
