We don?t have to agree on anything. I would like your opinion: do you think there is a connection between our foreign policy in the Middle East ie; invading Afghanistan, Iraq and bombing Syria with the terror attacks we have suffered in recent times?

Doesn't matter what our foreign policy is- that is just used by jihadis to justify terrorist acts.

Islam declared war on the west aeons ago- we have chemical jihad, jihadi rape etc etc going on 24/7 in Europe. Overt acts of terrorism are the actions that slipped through the surveillance net- unfortunately for the French cop in the supermarket yesterday

"Ah Jimlad you have gone very quiet, have you no opinion?"


Just because you're self-righteous doesn't mean someone has to debate with you, nor does it mean that you have 'won'. It just means you're a bit childish.


On topic, it makes sense for the armed forces to have outreach events at schools - they still recruit in significant numbers and some kids are likely to find a career (short or long) in the forces very rewarding.

Of course not. The rum ration was abolished in 1970.

Just before the first gulf war my boss was a navy guy who had just left a post as "chief" (think its the highest NCO rank).


He suggested us young lads might like to join up and fight (and mentioned we might not get a choice) - the immediate indignant refusals to fight by the entire group was telling :)

    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car. 
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
    • There's a food bank off Dog Kennel Hill. Albrighton Community Fridge. https://www.albrightoncommunityfridge.org/ I'm sure they would welcome them, but maybe check first, as they don't actually mention fresh fruit on their website? But apples aren't that perishable. Drop off seven days a week 9 - 5. Be warned if you are going by car, parking can be very difficult, easiest if there are two of you so one person can take the food in while the other can move the car if necessary.
    • Food banks for sure and what about approaching these schools in area that run summer camps - although having said that with health and safety being so strict might not allow it - crazy really.    Can’t remember name of church but was one in Peckham that from memory did a community meal a couple of times a week. Now they for sure would take them and probably Kingswood House as well.
