No, because a descendant of President Kennedy is so deluded as to believe that public health methods that benefit both rich and poor nations, and are promoted by WHO such as vaccination, are dangerous. Shades of Dr.Strangelove, and General Jack D. Ripper.  All the way to the end of the line at Barking.  

Moss and Rimmers (and I think SNG) are all part of a large classic spares group owner by an American investment company.  

Roger I use TR shop for for most things but they don’t have the customs clearance service, so the cost of paying to clear customs for a couple of small items would be more than the items themselves.  😔

I think you are DEAD ON

Throughout history, religion has been a major dividing force. I don't think getting older alone make us wiser, it does give many of us the time needed to mature and become more sensitive to our surrounding.   Humans are among the slowest creatures to mature, often considered the slowest-growing mammal, with a childhood and adolescence lasting about twice as long as chimpanzees. Some never reach a stage of enlightenment making them worth while contributing members of a HUMANE society.

I thought I would give a little update to what has occured since my last post. The last contact I had with the guy involved was just before new years eve, he was asking if I was going to be in on new years eve as drop my stuff around ( rolls eyes ) so I replied I was not going anywhere, so guess what he did not turn up ( i'm so shocked ). I know he was checking if the house was going to be empty on that night ( I wish I had said it was going to be empty as I had a load of my freinds around that night ). Since then there has been no contact at all, I have gone a little over the top on securing the house and garage ( bars across the inside of the windows on the garage and multiple locking bolts on the garage doors ) as he asked my dad if the garage doors still opened and expressed that he liked my tool collection, and as he kept expressing an intrest in the mustang I have fitted a heavy duty ground anchor and chained the mustang down to it as well as immobilising it in other ways. Funny thing is the last time he contacted me a freind of mine who happens to work for the police ( office staff not a plod ) was around and I had a chat with him on his opinion about what I should do ( contact the police etc ), he said as I did not have proof that I gave the other guy any money it would be my word against the other guy's, and being that the police would not be intrested because there is no proof that a crime has been commited, at most I would be told it is a civil matter and I would not be given a crime number ( you must remember this is only his opinion as he is not a police officer ). The only good thing that has come out of this is that it has given me a kick up the backside to get rid of the stuff I have got hanging around ( car parts, computer stuff, stuff what I have draged out of the loft ) as my dad and myself are looking to downsize to a smaller property later this year. Anyway I hope this is the end of this saga and if anything changes I will post about it. Karl P.S. I will try to update about the spit as it has been finished and is back on the road.

The rise of Christian Nationalism in the US and Canada, removed whatever religious genes I once possessed. I want no part of something that can be twisted the way they did. It was bad enough that religion was once used to control the government and the people. Now the roll has reversed - particularly in the US - and the Government is using religion as a 'sidekick' to control the people.  "One Country. One God. One Religion". Jefferson would be rolling over in his grave.  https://www.monticello.org/encyclopedia/thomas-jefferson-and-religious-freedom MAGA's quote a lot of things Jefferson said or wrote.  But they never quote this. Jefferson believed in a complete separation of Church and State. So did Benjamin Franklin. 

Just in case anyone can't see similarities between Hitler's rise to power, and someone more recent.... I personally think Trump is playing a long game where he's attacking "the left" to the point that he might push them to "take up arms against a tyrannical government". (The true intent and purpose of the 2nd Amendment.) Then he can invoke the Insurrection act, and cancel the November election, and possibly the 2028 election. And stay in power.  Of course I could be way off base. 

The world needs more Carneys.  Good, sensible, old-fashioned statesmen (and women) are in very short supply. Political systems that dictate (more or less) that only two parties can really gain traction (US and UK being notable examples, shamefully don’t know enough about Canada) are always going to tend to cause polarisation. But getting those prospering from the system to change it to their disadvantage is never going to happen!

Not completely analogous, but sometime towards the end of first agent-orange affliction I read Atwoods “A Handmaidens Tale” I didn’t like it. I don’t usually mind a bit of dystopian fiction. But this was too close for comfort, even then. I have the sequel but no urge to read it! Religion can be a force for the good. Seems to me that more often it is the opposite though. I don’t have the religion gene.
