It's not unreasonable to change black/white where the meaning is white=good, black=bad.

This isn't exactly the Daily-Mail fake frothing about not being able to say blackboard or black coffee

>Trump/Cisco/NSA deal as ra-ra-British

For certain Brexiters the only true Brexit is to become America

Re: The bigger issue is rising Chinese power

>we also have a one party system in the West

Ridiculous there is a huge difference between the Democrats and Republicans.

With one you get a right wing capitalist administration run by ex Goldman-Sachs partners with Ashkenazi surnames and with the other you get a right wing capitalist administration run by ex Goldman-Sachs partners with hispanic names.

So in normal (non-Trump) days your choice basically comes down to abortion and gay marriage.

Re: The bigger issue is rising Chinese power

Surely Hong Kong is British.

Aren't we "taking back control" sometime soon ?

Re: The bigger issue is rising Chinese power

>by buying European telecomms kit.

is that treason now, or do we have to wait for 31 Jan 2021 ?

Re: Nothing smart about "smart" white goods

The perfect consumer product - go capitalism

Re: Chill out

Also not clear it applies to "extra" services.

As long as the fridge defaulted to "stay cold" when the whizzy smart features you paid an extra grand for turn off - they could have a claim that it was functional.

>Love to see Samsung go out of business every couple of years...

But you didn't buy from Samsung, you bought from Samsung UK 2020 (holdings) Inc (Grand Cayman)

Re: Never understood this

Along the lines of "the people most vehemently against e-voting are security researchers"

>Majestic manager who is so impressed at the rate of consumption that they deliver next day,

Has sir considered our new direct pipeline service ?

That's what always confused me about Mad Max.

The oil has run out and yet everybody immediately switches to driving V8 muscle cars that run on premium petrol - rather than all riding bicycles and driving VW Polo diesels running on chip fat.

Re: Free parking for electric cars

Remind me which party is in power ?

Re: Free parking for electric cars

> the average person

That's rather the point.

No need to help the plebs, what have they ever done for us cabinet members ?

Re: 450 cities protesting racism

4th July was also the date that the French surrendered following Waterloo.

A double reason for it to be a bank holiday

beedeebeedee

Re: 450 cities protesting racism

All the protest footage is faked.

Obviously all of America is faked, when you fly there they just have you circle around and then you land in a studio backlot. That's why it all looks like the movies.

The moon landings were real - the USA is fake. Wake-up sheeple !

Re: What bothers me most is this one

>i'm with you on that sort of journalist.

These sort of journalists should be fired and forced to take some less reputable job

Re: What bothers me most is this one

How much video is there of police shooting/beating/arresting other police officers who are committing crimes against protesters ?

Re: He's moving the army in

So far the military have proved rather more disciplined. It's almost as if they had rules and are 40% black

Re: Nice stunt...

Yes I meant more in the lines of = fairly pointless stunt where the plane can only lift the batteries.

At least with the seaplane you have somewhere to land when the red light comes on!

Re: Nice stunt...

Especially since that has already been done in 2019: harbour-air-and-magnix-announce-successful-flight-of-worlds-first-commercial-electric-airplane

Re: What an achievement

There is an excellent talk by a wonderfully tweedy British history of science guy about this period before Nasa.

The 'Germans of a certain political hue' were ensconced in Huntsville Alabama - whether this was to keep the project secret, to keep them away from bumping into any famous Jewish scientists at major universities or because they would feel at home in Alabama is a discussion point.

Re: What an achievement

By that argument NASA was nothing more than Nazi projects continued by ex-Nazi employees

Re: You

Don't worry the government 'investment' in Boeing will be increased to cover the dental costs

Re: Perfect

The Earth landing is fake - Americans never landed on planet Earth
