Yes, of the cumulative effects over a sustained period of time. Coventry and Dresden were levelled much more efficiently.

Why would they care? They don't seem at all bothered about anyone's opinion about the terrible things that they are doing*. * Hamas started it by doing a terrible thing, and continue to do terrible things.

I wish people would stop using the word genocide in relation to this conflict. If that was the genuine intent of Israel then Gaza would have been levelled months ago without having to commit ground troops.

We'd need a new economic model if that scenario came to pass, as there would be a serious shortfall in the tax take if everyone was unemployed - so how would the government cover pensions and benefits?

Okay, this story is a result of Welsh Government policy, but it is useful when you want to give some context to the potential impact of environmental policy - in this case it has had the unintended consequence of making pollution worse. BBC News - Train smoke is making us sick, say residents...

When Junior and Littlest Orange were both at nursery the fees were more than our mortgage. We were quite relieved when first one, then both of them started school!

A surprising 20:34 around a slippery Guildford course today, just one second off my season best.

I thought that the pitch looked heavy today, certainly our short passing wasn't as crisp as usual. Really should have scored from the four on one. I didn't see who cocked up the pass, but when you have three people over there really isn't a problem putting more weight on it than is needed to...

I understand that Coventry have a sell-on clause, so we would get a portion of anything additional they make from that from our own sell-on clause.

Why should we be handing over any money to the descendants of the slave traders..?

My wife, and therefore my kids, have Guyanan ancestry. Are they owed compensation? The answer is no, because they can't prove their lives would have been better without there being a slave trade two hundred years ago.

From a British point of view slavery was abolished 1807, and the final slaves in the colonies were freed in 1838. Good luck finding anyone to apologise to. There is nobody alive today who can demonstrate that their life is worse because of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, which the British...

Looks like the Prime Minister could have an uncomfortable time at the Commonwealth summit. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd6vy79p750o I assume that the mooted conversation also happens with those West African countries that sold people into the trans-Atlantic slave trade in the first place.

So, eight games in, and one team has five times more points than the other. Nice and neat mathematically.

Those negotiations would by necessity require a change in ideology on the part of Hamas, so I'd imagine they'd be quite tricky. Do we know if any of the remaining hostages are actually still alive?

I did say both sides.

If only both sides would follow the recognised rules of conflict... This is absolutely tragic, but what should we do? If everyone stopped supplying weapons to Israel, what would be the outcome? Do you think Hamas and their ilk will stop lobbing missles over the border? I don't know the...

One for the gricer's on the forum:

I've heard worse AI narration, and I'm not keen on click bait titles. But I didn't know about Johann Mendel's contribution to evolution before, and that was fascinating.

I like listening to interesting and thought provoking things; science, art, politics (left, right or centre), history, and anything else you might find interesting. So I thought I'd start a thread to collate what has interested you recently. No need to comment on anything, it is absolutely...
