I agree with Loz. Terrorists want us to be afraid and affected. In reality they are small in number and can never really threaten our way of life. They don't have an army big enough. That doesn't help those who are murdered of course, but containment is the only defence we have at home. Sadly some plots are always going to get through, but in reality more people die in car accidents every year than do from attrocious attacks like those in Paris. We need to keep a sense of perspective and make sure the security services have everything they need to keep us as safe as possible.

Utter nonsense Blah Blah.. Small in number ?


70 years ago 1 man created a machine so vast it resulted in the deaths of millions of men, women and children globally.


That was an ideology such as we face today from a different group of extremists.

Some of which may well be already amongst us.

Hitler. The Nazis.


Are you one of those in denial about the Holocaust ?

And the millions of Russians that died.


Was a long time ago

This is not about you.


LAST NIGHT over 100 civilians lost their lives.


People have been effected by this event in one way or another, but Of course, some people are just so wrapped up in their own lives that not only does this point go straight over your heads but, of all the ways someone could choose to entertain themselves this evening, it had to be standing in their soggy back garden replicating the sound of gunshots.


Many events this evening have cancelled fireworks for this very reason.


It's inappropriate.

Every year, a few weeks before and after Bonfire night, fireworks are regularly let off, probably no more than hijinks from youngsters. The people who died in Paris were mainly young adults, out enjoying themselves, I'm sure they wouldn't want people to stop doing that, life has to go on otherwise the terrorists have won...

I think Foxy may have meant a killing machine.

I agree with OP, out of respect fireworks should not have been let off but it is individuals choice and so offence shoukd not be taken because others do not share same view.

Let the poster that Foxy aimed the comment at take offence if he/she chooses, dont stir the s#+t against Foxy.

Far too much 'offence' being banded around willy nilly. 127 people have judt been murdered across the channel, now that is offensive.

"Couldn't agree more! And calling someone a holocaust denier is grossly offensive IMO"


I was going to stand Foxy up for this one but I know he couldn't possibly mean it, regardless of whether he actually wrote it. So I'll take the insult on the chin, even though it was completely undeserved (ie . How can you deny the h

So I'll take the insult on the chin, even though it was completely undeserved (ie. How can you deny the holocaust when you don't even realise he's talking about the nazis).

This was the conversation..


70 years ago 1 man created a machine so vast it resulted in the deaths of millions of men, women and children globally.


Foxy what machine has killed millions that was created 70 years ago ?

I was thinking nuclear weapons but the figure you state is grossly over the death count from that machine.


Hitler. The Nazis.

Are you one of those in denial about the Holocaust ?

And the millions of Russians that died.



Oh I see Foxy, when you say machine you mean regime - with you now.


All sorted..


No malice intended..

I believe that no malice was intended. But probably would have been better if it had gone like this.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.

      Anywhere locally that repairs dentures on-site?

      By Lilly1 · Posted

      The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you

      So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly.

      Had to take a second look!

      Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
