Moravian replies on Jul 19, 2020:

@MattHardy You don't get irony then ? London is stab city with a knife crime on average every 12 minutes. Trump even mentioned it to deflect attention from the gun crime in America. By proportion of population percentage more knife crimes are carried out by black men than white men. A 14 year old kid on a stolen moped stabbed and killed. A young woman standing outside a shop was shot and killed. Glasgow had the "honour" of being knife crime capital a few years ago but it was sorted out partly by stop and search measures and social work within deprived areas and within the gangs. Police from Glasgow are now assisting the Met in combating this. Of course the BLM movement is necessary but for a young woman to play the race card because her feelings were hurt does not help matters.

Moravian replies on Jul 14, 2020:

@MattHardy You are putting words in my mouth. I am not backing any stereotype. It is statistically true that more BAME men are stopped and searched than white men and if this means that the police are systematically racist then that is something that needs to be addressed. I think it is ridiculous that possession of cannabis is against the law and I believe that possession and use of other drugs should be decriminalised, but that is the law and the police use stop and search to process this. Are you suggesting that young white men are never stopped. I know a couple of young guys who drive hot hatches with loud exhausts and they say that they have been stopped several times. We are talking about this one instance. The woman over reacted and the whole situation escalated. It sounds to me like "I am a famous athlete how dare you stop me". The BLM protests have brought to prominence the unfair treatment of ethnic minorities and rightly so and because of this any perceived unfair treatment of a black person will be given more publicity. I wonder if this had been a couple of white athletes would it have been given so much publicity.

Living in a country where hand guns are banned and sporting rifles and shotguns must be kept in securely locked cabinets when not in use I can only shake my head in disbelief at the situation in America. I visited friends of a friend in Idaho last year and the man of the house said he kept several loaded guns in the house when his children were growing up. His reasoning was that he needed them for protection because a drifter had raped and murdered a young woman in town and he was taking no chances. So the proliferation of guns in the country causes paranoia. Because people have guns we need more guns.

Moravian replies on Jul 12, 2020:

I did say that the car was ALLEGEDLY being driven erratically so it is the drivers version of events against that of the police. If you are signalled to stop by the police, stop, block the road. What the hell, that is their problem. I remember once being signalled to stop by the police and I decided to carry on a few yards to a layby and the policeman acted as if I was trying to drive away. I saw the video clip from her phone. She was screaming as if she was being abducted. The police asked them to get out of the car so why not just get out instead of behaving like that. This is the UK, not some third world country or the USA. It is true that young black men are stopped and searched more often than white men but is that just because they are black or because more of the drug dealers are young black men ?. I don't know. Dos Santos said when he drove a Nissan hatchback he was never stopped. since he changed it for a fancy black Merc with tinted windows he has been stopped fifteen times. That would give me the impression that it was not purely because he is black but because of the car which is favoured by drug dealers . AS I said I think the police were a bit heavy handed in this instance and if it is found that they were at fault well so be it.

@Triphid A fascinating story. I remember a BBC TV drama set in a penal colony on the coast of Australia in the early days. I don't know how accurate it was but they were brutal times. I think the ANSAC troops were used in a similar way to the Scottish regiments in the empires wars. They were fearless fighters so they were put at the forefront of any offence so the casualties were much higher. In WW1 and 2 the % of soldiers killed that were from Scottish regiments was far higher than from English regiments. Visit any village in the highlands and there is a war memorial with a huge list of names. I recently read "birds without wings" by Louis de Bernieres. He writes about the Gallipoli battle but from the Turkish viewpoint and how one morning they awoke and the allied troops, mostly ANSAC soldiers had gone. Thousands were killed on both sides in a futile battle for a useless piece of land. One of the many shameful episodes in the history of the British Empire.

She started going on about "the ten pound poms" as if they were a lower form of life which annoyed me a bit as I have family who emigrated on the assisted passage scheme and my cousin has recently been given some national award, something like an Aussie MBE for his service to the community. So I said " I take it your family go much further back then. As far as Botany Bay?. This stopped her talking, for about two seconds. She is probably back home now talking about her holiday and the crap weather,the warm beer, the unfriendly locals, I later found out that the exchange was with a retired church minister here and done through the church.

@Allamanda Eugenics is a definite no no. It has connotations of the Nazis and the master race. Genetic engineering in the UK is limited to a few animals and definitely not in humans.

The other was a young Jewish settler who said that he was entitled to the land because god had given it to his people at the time of Abraham. The annexation of the land was approved in the so called "peace plan" that Trump's idiot son in law drew up. I have heard the Trump administration are having cold feet about the annexation and without their approval Netanyahu may hold back. Lets hope so because if it goes ahead we can forget about peace in the region for a long time.

I wonder why? Could it perhaps have something to do with all the debacle in the Labor party, I wonder.

Moravian replies on Jun 30, 2020:

Absolutely no connection. There was some antisemitism in the Labour party and it was handled very badly by Corbyn. The problem is sorting out genuine antisemitism from fake stirred up by Zionist troublemakers. Keir Starmer has recently sacked his second in command from the shadow cabinet for retweeting a comment by some English actress. The comment was "The chokehold used by US police was taught to them by Israeli spies" Make you mind up whether that is genuine antisemitism or just a stupid conspiracy theory. The cynic in me suggests that Starmer used this as an excuse to get rid of her

@AnneWimsey Come on you are just being silly now. Of course it would be beneficial to get rid of plastics, especially single use plastic for several reasons but it is unlikely to happen' I watched the old girl's talk on TED to get a proper grasp of her research instead of an ill informed Guardian article and her idea is that genetically modified plants would take more carbon dioxide out of the air and transfer it to a more active soil flora. This could be achieved by modifying farming practices to previous ways of adding organic matter to soil instead of the modern practice of pouring artificial fertilisers on an annual basis. Ask yourself, who is funding this research ?. Is it some philanropist like Bill Gates acting for the public good or is it a company like Monsanto who can see a profit. She admits that the modified seeds will be more expensive and getting farmers to buy them may be difficult. I am pleased to say that genetically modified plants are not allowed in the UK and you can keep them along with the chlorinated chicken and beef pumped full of antibiotics.

Moravian replies on Jun 23, 2020:

@FrayedBear The River Tweed is mostly in Scotland but part of it forms the border. The river Till joins the Tweed from the south and is entirely in England. The dialect does look like lowland Scots or Lallans but as the border shifted north and south frequently there was probably a common dialect spoken on both sides of the border. According to Wikipedia Lallans was derived from old English which was spoken in Northumbria so it could have been written on either side of the border.
