    I’ve just watched a film called “Official Secrets” can I recommend you watch it. It’s about the GCHQ whistleblower about the collusion between US and Tony Blair’s government going to war with Iraq. Fascinating stuff, she was guilty of leaking a highly sensitive email. It showed how bent the government was at the time and prof that Blair and his cohorts should have been doing some serious time.

    Cheers Stereo.

    She has a clear cell Cholangiocarcinoma. Tumour is the size of a grapefruit on her liver.

    Sorry to hear that Taff, That is very rare indeed, though most prognosis is relatively good, there seems to be an explosion of cancers in the western world, and I think it comes mostly from meat and dairy products, something we have cut back on greatly and substituted with plant protein, 'beyond meet' I think is the answer, as meat in particular causes inflammation and acidity in the body, which is a fertile ground for cancers to develop, the other evil food is sugar, we have gone Organic for these last 5 years or so to help reduce toxins, you can only reduce the negatives as there is also so much pollution, and toxins in the air that we breath, especially up in Neath and Port Talbot.

    My younger brother passed away a few years back as you know, he lived in Eagles bush Valley, (Above Britton Ferry) had a detached Cottage up there on the hill, I'm sure it was the rubbish from the Steel Works that gave him his Kidney Cancer, spread to his lungs and brain, was barely 60 when he passed away, they diagnosed him too late!..............<ok>

    So an eu country, namely Greece wants it's border closed to a mass invasion from Turkey and the eu is doing nothing to help them ? Other than an offer to help from Poland that can see the growing threat, then why is this being allowed to happen ! Not a word from NATO either to its Turkish member to cease and desist this dangerous game !

    Ok, so playing devil's advocate here, what is the answer to this situation?
    Are these people migrants or refugees/asylum seekers?
    Where should they go in order to improve their lives?
    It's easy to say "you're not coming in here" or "stay in your **** hole country", but the problem would still remain.
    What's the answer?

    Go to school, learn a trade, get a job become an entrepreneur . that's how countries develop instead feeding off the good will and charity others .Change the regime if they feel that strongly about it I know its not that simple but its the basics still remain the same.

    Regime change is the one that could realistically happen, but will end up with more of the same.
    Obviously, the countries these people are coming from are backward and until that changes nothing will improve. They definitely need outside help that they don't want - especially where religion is a defining factor.
    I just think it's easy to judge their situation with our values and situation. It's not so easy when you live in these places. I'm pretty sure I'd be desperate to get out if I were in their situation also. I was just lucky enough to not be born in one of those countries.
    I don't have the answers to this - hence playing devils advocate. Just wondering where the politicians have failed maybe someone has a good answer to all this.
    As a 'global community' surely this should be everyones problem ? Wouldn't all countries benefit if people didn't have to move around to get out of extreme poverty and persecution etc?
    I'm sure there's enough money in the world to sort out a huge amount of it.

    The wealth holders of many countries and religious institutions etc could help if so inclined but they are not interested unless they benefit which screams that they are the problem ? or something meaningful and effective would have happened by now to bring peace and stability to the regions .

    The globalist play money = power games with people's lives and countries using the war machine and banking etc to devastate opponents. Religion does similar using people numbers moved around to attack and invade the other?

    If we ever evolve and emerge from this tribal fuedel culture of greed, waste, power mongering and mistrust of those that would take a yard If given an inch over us, then the combined wealth, intelligence and new found sanity and compassion could solve things peacefully by creating real safe zones in countries of origin to give them a chance to rebuild what they lost. And that has zero tollerence for terrorism or leaders that would disrupt the healing.

    But in the here and now real world until things change we are still in the self preservation stage where we need to look after our own from threats internal and external if we are to reach a later stage of enlightenment and be in a position to help stop the war mongering power mad scum that are a blight on humanity. And the globalist religious, terrorist and other evil forces at work in the world that the human race can do without !

    I agree , but how much more are these countries going to continue take in hand outs before the populace take control of their own destinies. the trouble is its now becoming race to the bottom where a lot of peoples standards of living is in decline rather than improving .We in this country don't know what the meaning of food poverty means in real terms but looking at the decline in health standards in this country and low stagnant wages isn't going to improve when mass migration is allowed

    I hate to say this but realistically, nothing is going to change at a fundamental level - ever.

    No Muslim is going to rebel against Islamic doctrine, no change other than a different loony dictatorship.

    The vast majority of the human race runs on greed of various kinds, overwhelmingly monetary and self interested. That's why there is zero chance of affecting climate change, for example, too much money involved for those with the power.

    The next, more serious, virus could be a game changer but will probably only mean opportunity for those with a hunger for exploitation. It's just human nature I'm afraid and it will never change (for the better). Do you think I'm too pessimistic? <laugh>

    I think you've summed up human nature quite well there Dai. Look at Facebook - everyone wants you to think their life is way better than it really is. The more **** you have to show the better off you think you are......

    The media don't help calm things, if it's not bad weather, countries arguing, homelessness, immigration, viruses, economy bangs, climate worriors, pedos, stabbings, hunger, wars etc then they ain't selling thier fear n doom propaganda !
    Good news is hidden in the back sections mostly these days . No wonder depression and worst is mentioned a lot these days by them !
    The times they are a changing, again. And not for the better with the scum we have no control of running the planet ?
