Fake or not, anything that has the potential to suffocate Gareth Gates gets my vote...

I just saw it as bringing living history to the people.....


Plus, it is the only part of the RAF that is still serviceable......

Proceeds of crime act 2002


This allows for the confiscation of assets that have have accrued via the machinations of a criminal act. The Empire was a criminal organisation, involved in genocide and theft on a global scale


This act should be enforced to ensure the royals do not benefit from the actions of the original Evil Empire.

Actually, that's not true. George V changed the family surname from Wettin to Windsor in 1917. The dynasty was called House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and that was changed to House of Windsor at the same time.


Elizabeth II's real surname is, and always has been, Windsor. Though she should really be Mountbatten-Windsor by marriage, she decided to keep 'Windsor'.


Anyway, I always find that comment (and it's hardly new) more than a teensie bit racist. It's a bit like asking a black person born in Britain, "where are you *really* from". Or assuming someone whose grandparents were Chinese would speak Cantonese.

"well i dont no how you say god save the queen in German ,,but im sure she does". Hmmm.


And why did they change? Well, as I said, they changed it in 1917. What was the big news story that year?

Whilst on the subject of Racism let us take a look at The Union Jack.


Symbol of Empire and Imperialism. Of Oppression and adopted by ultra right wing extreem groups of Racists.


It is outdated and has no place in this day and age..


In 1606, the first Union Jack flag was created by merging the English flag

(the red cross of Saint George)

with the Scottish flag

(the diagonal white cross of Saint Andrew on a blue background).

Then, in 1801, the addition of Ireland to the United Kingdom added the Irish flag to the flag

(the red Saint Patrick's cross).


And with Scotland on the verge of Independence, the flag may soon have to go..

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
