    D-Day - the Normandy landings

    Definitely, it is believed that the British turned every German spy based in the UK during the war to work for them, which is utterly staggering and an incredible acheivement. It has been mooted that the Nazis were not very good at espionage because the psyche of their personality in that they...

    D-Day - the Normandy landings

    Read up about the spy Garbo and what his involvement on D-Day. He was a Spaniard whom the Germans believed were spying for him in England, but he wasn't he was actually a double agent working for us. He told the Germans on D-Day itself don't engage all your troops in Normandy, because this is...

    D-Day - the Normandy landings

    I saw a TV programme about Dachau and there was an American historian at this site talking about what went on there and he basically said something along the lines of....... .....you know people say it was a war crime to bomb Dresden and such like and that thousands of innocent German...

    [Football] World Cup and desperate marketing ploys

    Flicking through a freebie magazine I noticed everyone trying to jump on the World Cup bandwagon linking their crappy product with the World Cup. I was drawn in particular to a John West Steam Pot Tuna infusion and how that is apparently "perfect for a half time refuel" I can also see that to...

    Far-Right National Front Stuns French Elite With EU 'Earthquake'

    Indeed, the vote actually should alert those in Brussels/Strasbourg as to what may happen. Sometime soon the UK will have a referendum and I do believe if it were held now, the UK would vote to leave (I think these Euro results and in particular the Lib Dem vote show that). It would be...

    How much World Cup viewing are you planning?

    Indeed, anyone get a decent one of these that are in BST?

    Early Local Election results - UKIP smashing it

    It is quite intriguing just being a year away from the general election, just who is going to win a majority? (or even whom has the most seats). It really is unclear. If Labour is going to win a majority you would think they would be doing really well last night, but they clearly are not...and I...

    Today's officials

    I would actually say first 20mins all over them. Our goal galvinised them and they were the better team up to half time and got 2 goals (one with a huge slice of luck). Second half, first 15 mins or so they were the better team, then for the rest of the game we were (however, Derby still looked...

    I wonder what Churchill would say about this claim..

    Never in the field of highway maintanence, was so much required of so few by so many?

    Jeremy Clarkson Scandal.

    Don't rule it out, with a head this size I think he has a good chance of nodding one in from a set-piece.

    I wonder what Churchill would say about this claim..

    It may not be the end, it may not even be the beginning of the end, but it may actually be the end of this as a useable thoroughfare?

    Botched Execution - Any sympathy?

    Times have moved on since the Birmingham 6 and Guildford 4 which was 40 or so years ago. There is not a scintila of doubt I am sure in anyones mind whom the murderers of Lee Rigby are (CCTV and mobile phone footage shows this to everyone). Every time the debate is raised, miscarriages of...

    [Albion] Birmingham v Wigan - hypothetical question

    That's not strictly correct. Whatever happens (to Wigan on Tues) Blackburn has something to play for as they can finish 6th if we lose and so do Reading (v heavily) and Blackburn win (V heavily) overturning the +7 GD reading have on them (two 4-0's will do that)

    Oscar Pistorius

    Even though I agree 100% with trial by jury (and not by judge only) and would want all trails in the UK to be in front of a jury. I do actually think in this case it is better (though not for Oscar, eventhough we shall see) that the outcome is decided by a judge (and her assistants). I think in...

    Oscar Pistorius

    Oh indeed, just watching the updates from the BBC and he has got Oscar all over the shop with minatue and legal technicalities (different defences for eg). Gradually picking his defence and its inconsistencies to pieces. One thing I saw from a few photos this morning is a couple of women...

    Oscar Pistorius

    The judge even said something along the lines of..... Are you making all these mistakes because you are tired..... I guess it shows what she is thinking.

    Oscar Pistorius

    Indeed....any normal persons primary concern when there is a possible intruder in the house is to make sure their partner is safe first....but not Oscar. He just wants to pump lead to kill (because of the 4 shots and not 1 to warn) at an unknown person behind his toilet door. The more I think...
