McCartney is great, so is the Scouse accent. That guy was pretty good Franky. Let's see you do his accent ;)

The hypocrisy from the EU is staggering.

I hear you Sanogo. Just remember the official theory (The NIST report) has also not been proven. It's just theory, and bad theory at that.

'Simulations show that that airspeed was easily possible'.

It is abundantly clear you know nothing about aviation.

The maximum operating speed for a 767 is 360 knots, and according to the NTSB UA175 was flying at 510 knots just before it allegedly hit WTC2. That is not possible at 700' above sea level. At least not without the wings snapping off. Ask any pilot if a 767 can do 510 knots at 700 feet. But what would they know?

I'm not in favour of litter wardens giving out fines, but people who throw their rubbish on the ground in public places are hugely ignorant, and I have no sympathy for them.

By the way sanogo, the NIST report is just a theory and it is full of spurious claims that are not supported by sound scientific analysis.

'The way the towers fell is very normal in their professional opinion'.

Normal how?

The Russians were always a step ahead of the US in the space race, and if there was a way past the Van Allen radiation belts they would have surely found it. It's difficult to imagine the Russians not making it to the moon soon after the US, if not before. And the Chinese would also be there by now.

There is also the small detail of no crater beneath the landing module, and no dust on the feet of the landing module, the letter C printed on one of the rocks, the backgrounds being the same on different shoots on different days, the Hasselblad cameras taking perfect pictures with film that passed through the Van Allen belts, the odd reflections in the visors, the odd shadow configuration as if there were several different light sources. I really would like to know what people involved in the Russian side of the space race thought about all this.

I think you miss the military more than you're willing to admit. Being obeyed. Always being right (which of course you always are) . Not actually thinking freely, but not realising it. Thinking everyone else is wrong. Naturally.

Good luck with that.

Mr. x and anyone else, I don't know if you have any interest in the OJ Simpson story, but if you have, then you are in for a treat. I've recently finished watching a documentary called "O.J.: Made in America". It's almost 8 hours long, but once you get into it you won't want it to end. It goes into his life in meticulous detail, from when he was a scholarship student at an until then all white school, up until the present day.

I've always had a fascination with this case, and I will admit that I had my eyes opened by this documentary. It's full of interviews with people who have known him over the years, and also documents the different realities for black and white people living in America, and the race fuelled corruption that was endemic in the LAPD.

The way the film maker shows us the privileged life OJ led against the backdrop of discrimination experienced by black Americans is seamlessly interwoven with archive footage and interviews, and that's before we start to turn our attention to the murders of Nicole and Ron, and his subsequent arrest and trial. I strongly recommend this documentary to anyone who has even a passing interest in OJ.

I think it is highly likely that Russia was behind the leaks. Helping to keep Clinton out of the White House may well prove to be the smartest bit of business they've done in years.

If he serves his sentence does that mean he won't be deported when he's released?

The way Trump spoke about Mexicans was disgusting. However, although the speech was about Mexicans, I think it was really aimed at a particular segment of the electorate in the US.

There is a large swathe of working class people in the US who are on low income or benefits, and they are very disaffected and feel completely disconnected from the so called American dream. Of course Mexicans are not responsible for their plight, but Trump was better able to identify the sense of disconnect the poor and unemployed feel.

I've said before I don't like Trump, but he is very clever, and he knew exactly what buttons he was pushing when made those remarks about Mexicans. Hillary Clinton only won 3 states outside of the 20 richest states in the US. Poor Americans felt Hillary would simply bring more of the same. But they identified with Trump's rhetoric (however distasteful), and that is why he won the election in my opinion. He offered them a little bit of hope. And it seems to have been enough.

Of course I realise that he resigned in July. He went to a lot of trouble to court and actually gain huge investment in the Sharia compliant banking sector during his tenure as PM. Britain now has more Islam compliant banks than any other western country, and Cameron was one of the chief proponents of this during his tenure.

No British government courted Sharia compliant banking more than the conservative government led by Cameron. He said he wants Britain to be one of the great capitals of Islamic finance anywhere in the world.

Maybe ask Cameron why he is hell bent on making Britain the world leader in Sharia compliant banking? The Muslim community is worth 20 billion+ per annum, and your government wants their investment. They're not going anywhere I'm afraid, and your government is not going to do anything to upset them. Quite the opposite, they are in full appeasement mode.
