Really? You think he didn't know he'd be found out? The US attack has only had the effect of strengthening Assad in that Russia now say they'll boost Syria's air defences. Just like Saddam or Mugabe or...too many to name, this $%^* won't react in a normal, rational or civilised fashion.

From the play, "The Letter of Last Resort"...


[John] The rational thing for you to do Prime Minister, in all matters of world affairs, is to behave in a wayward and dangerous manner.


[PM] You can?t be serious.


[John] I?m deadly serious. In order to keep the value of a national Nuclear deterrent the rest of the world has to believe that the leadership of that nation is basically ? irrational ? on a knife edge ? ready to go off at any moment ? likely to do berserk things ? they have to look at that nation and believe that its premier is driven by enough psychopathy that they would be willing to see twenty million innocent civilians die for no other reason than sheer revenge.


[PM] Right.


[John] It?s called the ?crazy? strategy.


[PM] The crazy strategy.


[John] It?s a strategy which Israel pioneered. Iran has adopted it. America pursues it quite successfully.

At the week-end my brother suggested to me the following scenario re the attack on the Syrian airbase.


Putin has something on Trump but Trump had to do something to show how strong America is and appear to stand up to Putin. Thus he warned Putin of the impending attack, who in turn warned Assad. This is why the damage to the base seems to have been negligible. Planes were flying out of it the next day.


Soon afterwards Trump's son was declaring that the attack shows that Daddy isn't in league with Putin.


Oh and by the way,Trump has/had shares in the company who makes the tomahawk missiles used in the attack. It's known he had before becoming President. Not known if he sold them. Share price went up after the attack.


It all makes sense doesn't it?

Google Trump and Bayrock corporation for some interesting theories about just what hold Russia has over Trump.

As reported by CNN...

Former campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said that while he believed Comey had "inflicted severe damage" on the FBI, "the timing and manner of this firing suggest that it is the product of Donald Trump feeling the heat on the ongoing Russia investigation and not a well thought out response to the inappropriate handling of the Clinton investigation"

It's feeling like a bad nite at the Karaoke.

An interesting article says that the Donald is exhibiting signs of dementia: 'forgetfulness, volatility, irritability, impulsivity and paranoia; anxiety about stairs, poor concentration and degraded syntax... small vocabulary and fragmented sentences.'


The writer says that in 1998, the Don was on Oprah Winfrey and he was 'lucid, coherent - almost articulate.'

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I'm certainly not surly - it's Friday, so I'm in a delightful mood.  As Earl Aelfheah said, the money has to come from somewhere. But Labour new that hiking fuel as well as employee NIC in would be a step too far - for businesses and consumers. It was the right decision for this moment in time. Suggesting that someone who's against fuel duty increase on this occasion is against and fuel duty full stop is quite a leap. Why do you demonise everyone who doesn't think that owning a car is a cardinal sin?  I'm not sure using Clarkson as an example of your average farmer holds much weight as an argument, but you know that already, Mal.

      Hope it's making others smile too! I don't know the background or how long it's been there 😊

      If you are against the increase in fuel duty then you are surly against fuel duty full stop.  It has not kept up with inflation, I'm talking about getting it back on track.  Ultimately road user charging is the solution. Labour will probably compromise on agricultural land inheritance by raising the cap so it generally catches the Clarksons of the world who are not bothered about profits from land beyond, in his case, income from a highly successful TV series and the great publicity for the farm shop and pub

      Change to Charter North 6th Form Admissions?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Were things much simpler in the 80/90s? I remember both my girls belonging to a 6th Form Consortium which covered Sydenham Girls, Forest Hill Boys and Sedgehill off Bromley Road. A level classes were spread across the 3 schools - i remember Forest Hill boys coming to Sydenham Girls for one subject (think it was sociology or psychology ) A mini bus was provided to transport pupils to different sites, But I guess with less schools being 'managed' by the local authority, providers such as Harris etc have different priorities.
