In an ideal world: Jeremy Corbyn would be our conscience, and Donald Trump would be our provider. In the real world: they both demand to be both!

In an ideal world: we'd all live forever, and the Earth's population would now be approaching one hundred billion. Therefore.. oh!

Those sites that TRY to prevent you highlighting and right clicking to abstract text can be very annoying. That's particularly so if all you are trying to copy is your own text. Unfortunately the message hasn't got through to webmasters that nothing whatsoever can prevent web pages being copied or saved, because that's totally antithetical to the nature of the web. All this kind of nonsense does is inconvenience and annoy honest people who visit your site. One particular shopping site has been bugging me for years, so a while back I added a link to the browser settings page to turn off javascript whilst I did the copy. The problem with this is that their javascript heavy site then becomes almost unusable. This irked me so much that I just looked at alternatives that don't involve tediously looking through the page source code for my own text. Well... actually... it turns out ultra-simple to bypass the javascript which prevents highlighting and then copy. I'm using Chrome but the same must be true of practically all browsers: simply CTRL+P for print page, and select the text you want to copy from the print preview. Simples, and ya boo to you a?????????.com!

My advice - which will be echoed by millions of others - is to remove McAfee in its entirety and install something like Avast (free edition). Life can be challenging enough without McAfee! What exactly does she mean by "get on"? Does she mean she can't view all pages (or certain pages); does she mean that she can't sign in, or can't upload pictures? Chrome is currently experiencing major problems with the latest Windows 10 update, so try another browser. I'm presently having problems on some newspaper sites when using Chrome. https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-april-2018-update-problems-microsoft-working-on-fix-for-chrome-issues/

It's a router problem and on Andy's near horizon schedule. It's causing other problems apart from the webcam here.

You agreed with me about the HoL too! Combating extremism is always a problem; but you can't combat it with oppositely polarised extremism, which seems to be the current (PC) wisdom.

Perhaps you need to stop accepting everything you hear on the BBC, and read in their policy manual (The Guardian). "It's a big victory and we can now all go home" is a common delusion, but it's not the way the world actually works.

Got any actual points to make Tony, or does comrade Corbyn do all your thinking for you these days? Please keep in touch as I'd love to know how your extremist-lefty views go down with Mr Orban's crowd. Tiny bit of advice: don't mention immigration, or show any support for the EUcrats, or his Momentum-style bully boys might seek to re-educate you. You will refuse to accept it but Ukip policy represents pretty much the middle ground of UK politics before it swung drastically to the left through the infiltration of our media and education. Sure there are a few nutters, but these are well spread out throughout the political spectrum these days. Even the Ukip nutters don't want us to completely trash our country though, and are amenable to reason.

It's only "a circus act" because people who derive benefits from the EU machine are still in charge and are desperately fighting their corner. They've had things their way for so very long that they truly believe they can ignore a referendum result. We get garbage like "the sovereignty of parliament", and they believe people will accept this. When I last looked the Queen was still sovereign, and she swore a Coronation Oath to uphold the will of the people over special interest. If they are right then we need to dispense with all the state opening of parliament mullarkey and save some money. The red bus phenomena is quite amusing. It's a rationalisation that all the arrant nonsense the Remain campaign spouted was seen through by people who are now arrogantly considered intellectual inferiors by the so-called "educated". You are echoing this in your "they didn't know what they voted for" and its helpmate "they are all a bunch of racists" [not your quotes]. We've never heard any election result challenged before on the basis of "they didn't know what they voted for", though it's now pretty universally accepted that this was very true in the case of Tony Blair. Were you protesting that "Things... can only get better!" was a cruel deception back then? Ironic that the keyboard player chanting this slogan was none other than that intellectual giant Prof. Brian Cox, the current recipient of large wodges of the TV tax in consideration for his profound observations on life, the universe, and everything! "perhaps you're happy with an outcome inspired by ignorance, so long as it goes your way? " I've covered the ignorance bit above, and I'm happy that our fragile democracy still seems to be creaking on. I'm unhappy that Dodgy Dave didn't fulfil his undertaking to give notice immediately the referendum result was announced, and did a runner. I'm unhappy that Remainers and vested interest is still in charge. It's the same democracy that got us into the EU by stealth, and denied us a vote on the matter (despite electoral promises by all establishment parties - including the braindead LD's!), but it's the best we have and needs to be respected until we can improve on it. The only alternative to not respecting it is another civil war. One would have thought our "intellectual superiors" who are now busily trying to undermine this democracy would have got this latter point! As I keep saying the pound is doing just fine. If you study the graphs you will find that the referendum result has had no long term nett affect on it. It's currently at the same level as its average since Gordon Brown trashed Sterling back in 2008. I can however reliably predict that there's a Eurozone crisis on the horizon, as Germany is surely going into recession now under the weight of Merkel's legacy. It will be interesting to see how the group-think EUphiles try to rationalise this. This isn't something we can or should celebrate as Dodgy Dave quietly signed us up to the Euro support mechanism, and so we won't come out entirely unscathed.

"The audience of a dozen on here won't get you very far." It's not me that wants to get very far, and you dismiss the silent majority at your peril; ask Dodgy Dave about that one! Will keep you updated anyway, as it's novel to have common cause with you.

Yes, but you still only get one party for your money, not two entirely self-contradictory ones like with Labour. It looks rather well presented to me, but I'm disappointed it doesn't mention HoL reform. It's coming I think, as Ukip policy is made by ordinary members, not behind closed doors in those legendary "smoke filled rooms".

Great to see this one rapidly heading for the 100,000, but I think the establishment parties will do what they always do: mutter fine words about the need for essential reform being recognised, and then do precisely nothing. I'm exploring other ways of lobbying at the moment, as this issue must become a manifesto issue for one party that breaks ranks. It's disappointing that Ukip hasn't picked up on general public feeling and realised that the time for reform is long overdue. A huge vote winner now I think. Recent petitions I've signed: Ensure that the U.K. leaves the EU Single Market & Customs Union. Manufacture the new blue passport in GB not Germany or France. Ensure the UK leaves all EU defence rules, policies and structures on 29/03/19. The last one is pretty notable I think, as I'm told it was started by military veterans who don't want to see us dragged into a war to "project EU values", as the EUcrats like to put their expansionist ambitions. They've dedicated their lives to our defense, and so deserve to be listened to and supported more that any politico.

You can download it from here. Other parties are cordially invited to post theirs, as (unlike our state broadcaster) the site is politically neutral. I will even try very hard to refrain from commenting on them!

I've struggled to understand that Merc. I thought you were claiming that abolishing this last bastion of undemocratic vested interest "mean all them foreigners suddenly go home"? But as you've signed the petition anyway that can't be true. Anyway, you know all those Eastern European nurses and doctors that were suddenly going to go home if we voted for our independence? Well.. the number now working in the NHS has surged by several thousand. If it had fallen in any way the BBC Guardianistas would be ramming this consequence down our throats regularly. Who was telling porkies here then? In fact is there anything at all that the EUphiles claimed that has actually occurred - generally the exact opposite has happened. You seem bitter because you believe the referendum was won on the basis that these foreigners should all go home. Well ...surely you need to be crowing that this hasn't happened, and that these bigots have been confounded? Of course that's not how the vast majority saw it: the vast majority had huge concerns about the Tony Blair inspired social engineering that had been going on, and the pressure on our services. Yes, there was fear of the curse of Islam in there too, but that's a very rational and existential fear, even though you want us to dismiss it, and you irrationally label it as racism.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/209433 Looking like one of the fastest growing petitions ever!

.. there's now Telford, and exactly the same deafening silence! The BBC’s shameful silence on the Telford sex scandal Something rather Orwellian about this new diversity, which apparently relies on ruthlessly curtailing diversity of speech and even diversity of thought.

Europe is waking up, so perhaps he isn't going to get away with it. Seems there are rumblings about Junker facing corruption charges too. That will surely be the day, as the Brussels mafia has always closed ranks in the past. We look forward to the BBC coverage of all this; but there lies another scandal!

https://www.spectator.co.uk/2018/03/a-very-eu-coup-martin-selmayrs-astonishing-power-grab/ It's worth reading the full article. If you don't think the above is an affront to European democracy then here's a Telegraph post from Chris Snuggs who appears to speak for many (including me):

Moe: My guess - and it's simply a guess - that Merc's position on a lot of things is the same as the much of today's extreme left (and indeed what little there is of today's extreme right) that My enemy's enemy is my friend, and that's why he supports Islam and really wants to treat it like any other religion. But.. he tells us we can't "pigeonhole" him as a leftie, yet he walks like a Corbynista leftie and quacks like a Corbynista leftie, and tells us he's proud to hold left wing views. That's why I am very interested in "his answers". Corbyn's new kind of politics seems rather like an old kind of politics to me; but as you can't get any sort of rational discussion with a Corbynista (hello Mr Lavery!) I was rather hoping he could pretend he's one for the purposes of debate. Lots of local people will be voting for Corbyn and McDonnell in future it seems, so think of explaining their mysterious policies to these voters as a public service.

Here we are back to the indirect ad hominem. The reason you won't answer any clarifying questions is "because I don't think you're really interested in my answers; you're right, and everybody else is wrong, and that will always be the case". i.e. I'm badly motivated, so that apparently justifies the refusal to examine your own highly inconsistent ideas. Yes, I do think there aren't irredeemable people, but if we aren't vigilant and challenge evil belief sets we can easily get into a situation where there is no practical alternative to eliminating the people and not the ideas. That's why apologists for such belief sets are themselves dangerous to society, and need to be challenged. If you do find the time to reply in a spirit of free discussion and not personal attack, then I'm happy to resume a friendly discussion.

I'm simply curious to examine your ideas of good and evil. You tell us "some people are evil." I want to know who those evil people are. You see I don't believe there are any irredeemable people, only irredeemable ideas. Islam is one of those irredeemable ideas, and has no place in a modern civilised society. I want to examine exactly why you are an apologist for it. How is determining what you believe is evil "introducing something that is of no relevance" in a discussion about evil? I answer your questions directly, but you seek to dodge mine.
