Yes, just had a word with myself and despite the Jewish blood in my family, still can't bet my mortgage on it. Still, you are completely sure, so we had better let the matter end there.
Was awoken at the peak of the hurricane of 87 by the terrible noise that my up and over garage door was making. It had broken loose and was banging incessantly. I was aware of the rain and wind lashing the windows but wasn't prepared for the strength of it when I got outside. I could barely walk...
Most educated people would consider that it was likely that it was being used in a way to suggest mass killing, which " the Final Solution " has come to symbolise but their intelligence wouldn't allow them to rule out the possibility of her words being used in a much wider/broader context.
Probably not but it is still not entirely clear whether it was a direct reference or a very general comment. I don't believe Hopkins to be of high intellect more an individual with an eye to the main chance. An opportunist. She didn't give a lot of thought to what she said but then neither did a...
No I am not.
What I was trying to say was that the Nazi's were fond of grand rhetoric and sweeping generalisations,,,," the Final Solution "...." Tomorrow the World "....." a Thousand Year Reich "...etc etc. It was a series of carefully planned and thought through soundbites. We need to be clear...
The ' Final Solution ' of the Nazi's principally targetted European Jewry, not all Jews. They knew that Jews ( of which there were many ) in the USA were untouchable. It was not a final solution as such, as that would have involved the eradication of the entire world population of Jews. Their...
It is in our DNA and goes right back to the feudal system in the Middle Ages. The serf was taught to know his place and tugged his forelock at the Lord of the Manor, who took the majority of the serf's output for himself, leaving the serf with a pittance to live on. So, exactly what still goes...
I would suggest that it could be a lot closer than that.
At grass roots level, amongst normal working class people, there has been a simmering undercurrent of tension growing for some time now. Its a little like a pressure cooker boiling away and just occasionally letting off steam until the pot...
I watched people putting flowers on war memorials in support of Diana!!! I listened to work colleagues/acquantainces verbally destroying the Royal Family for failing to come to London, when all they were doing was putting a loving and protective arm around two grieving boys and keeping them out...
Lets be honest, Jose targetted the Europa Cup. He knew, deep down, it was easier to win than a whole season long struggle to make the top four. He got the League Cup in the bag nice and early, as he regularly did at Chelsea, so that was an early notch on his belt.
All his career, he has only...
When is the time or place?
Not enough people are standing up and saying what they feel. They feel suppressed, frightened and wary of a backlash...." You can't say this....." You can't say that "...etc etc etc......Well they allowed the Muslim clerics to spout their bile and hatred. They allowed...
Ah yes.........remember all those years ago when radical Muslim clerics were standing on the streets of this proud and tolerant country and spouting their bile and poison at the Western World. At the time, those who supposedly knew better, rallied to their defence, upholding their right to free...
A man goes to the doctor and says...." I've got a rather strange affliction "....When I wake up in the morning I can't stop singing ' Delilah ' and when I go to bed at night I just keep singing ' the Green Green Grass of Home '
" Thats simple " said the doctor...." You've got Tom Jones Syndrome...
