Moravian replies on May 29, 2019:

@LiterateHiker an interesting article and I think I recognise most of the examples but I think you are a bit wide of the mark in calling me sexist.I made no reference to your gender and would have made the same comment to a man. You made wild accusations about my character when you know absolutely nothing about me so I obviously touched a nerve. As a keen hiker myself I enjoyed reading about your hiking exploits and seeing the photos of the beautiful country around you and I have great sympathy with your current injury problem as I have just been diagnosed with arthritis in my ankle which is curtailing my hiking adventures. BUT I am not interested in the fact that one of your lovers is so fat that he can only shag you on his side and another is so brilliant that you have to shout the fact from the rooftops. OK you may say don't read it but it's a bit like car crash TV. A sort of morbid fascination takes over and I keep reading. Anyway that's all I have to say on the matter and I will be more selective in which posts I read in future.

EU elections it looks there is a clear splt between leavers and remainers in the voting.

MattHardy comments on May 28, 2019:

Interesting that if you take Farage's personality and Bank's support away from UKIP and put them both behind an alternative brand with literally no policies or manifesto other than "Brexit" then all the electorate goes with them.

Moravian replies on May 29, 2019:

Ukip were lurching to the right even before Farage left and took most of the Brexiteers with him. They now have unsavoury characters like Carl Benjamin and Tommy Robinson in their ranks so it's good to see them sidelined. As usual the news media is giving a false picture giving the impression that this has been a great victory for the leavers. The Brexit party only gained three more seats than the old UKIP and the combined Lib Dem,Greens, and SNP totalled more votes than the leavers so it looks promising for a new referendum.

MattHardy comments on May 28, 2019:

Moravian replies on May 29, 2019:

That;s what I was trying to imply. Take weather for instance. Even with some of the most powerful computers available, meteorologists cannot forecast the weather accurately more than a few days ahead. The weather is a perfect example of chaos theory. Making statistical predictions is something different altogether. Bookmakers do it all the time. There is no such thing as magic , only illusion. Ask those well known atheists Penn and Teller.

Moravian replies on May 26, 2019:

@powder Certainly different. "The Yanks are getting tired of war"?. i'm not so sure. Certainly they tired of war in Vietnam because of the casualties and the realisation in some quarters that it was totally unjust. Afghanistan and Iraq ?. casualties were much lower and modern warfare is more of a long range thing with most of the casualties being civilians . Collateral damage of little importance. The military industrial machine is very important to the US economy and the mindset that they are the world's policemen still holds good. I can't see a war against Iran happening and in the unlikely event that it did it is unlikely the US would put "boots on the ground" My original comment was about how a foreign war means a rise in patriotism at home and if it is successful it means an increase in the popularity of the govt in charge.

Moravian replies on May 25, 2019:

@Petter thanks for that. I realise that the EU is far from perfect and maybe I have been concentrating on the benefits and ignoring the downside. the problem is that it is difficult to get reasoned comment as it is mostly all for or all against. Re the farm subsidies I grew up in a farming community long before the EU and then farming was even more heavily subsidised than it is now. Farmers on tiny farms which have long since been amalgamated were amongst the wealthiest in the community. Farmers are still heavily subsidised but unfairly as so called "slipper farmers" are coining it in so that certainly needs looking at.

Of course there are problems of integration in English cities with a large immigrant population but they are not helped by people like Robinson or whatever he is calling himself theses days stirring things up with his racist agenda.

For a short time in 2012, he was joint vice-chairman of the British Freedom Party. He has on previous occasions used the pseudonyms Andrew McMaster, Paul Harris, Wayne King, and Stephen Lennon.
