Couldn't think of an original post Davis, so had to duplicate your post on the other thread?


I agree El Pibe on the Syrian aspect. But remember, the muslim brotherhood for example, emerged in Egypt in 1928, and if we are talking about regional activism, it has always been part of the region. There is a struggle in the Islamic world between reformists (moderates) who want to do business with the West and orthodox fundamentalists. That undercurrent has been bubbling for a hundred years! What usually happens is the government quoshes the fundamentalist movement, but I understand the Syrian government are asking for help now.


I see it all as an offshoot of the Arab spring, and this time it seems to have growing numbers in support, and to be gaining ground in several countries at the same time. It's a wonder the region didn't fall into anarchy before tbh.

    • Hello My husband bought and sold CDs but is no longer trading. I auctioned off all his collection of records and CDs 2/3 years ago. He had a lot of new CD jewel cases and trays which I’ve been trying to sell off cheaply on this forum… Unsuccessful! I just want them gone now as I was asked by  a shop to count them up and they are cluttering up the hallway. I’ve just had cataract surgery and not advised to lift stuff… I have: 200 CD clear cases with black trays 30 orange CD cases with orange trays  75 black double CD cases with black trays  240 CD clear cases 650 black CD trays  65 clear CD trays Also 3/4 boxes of new DVD cases,  Let me know if you’d like to collect any of the above free. You can give a donation to cancer charity if you like!  kind regards  Eleanor

    • He’s on the tree trunk outside the groundspeople’s yard - near the car park
    • I agree that I enjoy seeing the variety of wild flowers growing naturally in the streets and would much prefer that they were not destroyed. (The South London Botanical Institute actually conduct wildflower identification walks on street wild flowers.) However, as the council consider themselves to be responsible for removing these plants, it's better that they now dig them out rather than spraying them with toxic herbicide, as they used to do - a step in the right direction.
