What time is it?
It has always been this way. Why do you think anything will change?
Trade rules.
Have you seen Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester etc barbarism built our cities overseas and at home.
My balls are sooooo strokable.

They were dressing up and dragging things through the street and stopping every few yards on Friday. I thought the HONC was in n two weeks.
Re: Re:
Singling out Saudi Arabia, he said that if the country weren’t “without the cloak of American protection, I don’t think it would be around.”
To rebalance the deal, Mr Trump said, Saudi Arabia should deploy ground troops to fight Isil in Syria and Iraq, or "substantially reimburse" the United States for combating the militant group.
And to force their hand, he suggested, America could stop buying its oil.
America's allies are "ripping us off" says Donald Trump
The first British section to be subsumed into a TEN was the already planned link between London and Paris, which was why its name was changed from the Channel Tunnel Link to “HS1”. But once the idea of a high-speed train network had lodged in the corporate mind of our departmental officials, like their continental counterparts they began planning extensions to the grand design, to connect the North of England and Scotland directly with the European network.
Whenever a new line is built, under EU directive 96/48, it must connect “interoperably” with the rest of the network. This is why those trains from Birmingham and the North will have to connect directly with the continent. No doubt, since one can fly from Birmingham to Paris in under an hour, such trains will prove as financially disastrous as their Dutch equivalent – but nothing in the grand design is based on practical calculations. HS2 is a political project, inspired by Delors’ dream of an integrated Europe. And that is why our politicians and officials, under its spell, press on with it, regardless of common sense.
The continent is the final destination for HS2

The hidden story behind this project goes back to 1993, when Jacques Delors was busy with two gargantuan schemes for the integration of Europe. One was to give it a single currency. The other, just as ambitious, was his plan for Trans-European Networks (TENs), designed to integrate all Europe’s transport and communications systems. These would not be funded directly by the EU; instead, the member states would construct their own bits according to an overall plan. Part of the grand design was a Europe-wide network of high-speed trains, sections of which have now been built by several countries, including the Netherlands. As Andrew Gilligan revealed in last week’s Sunday Telegraph, the Dutch line has been a commercial disaster, running 85 per cent empty and needing a £250 million bailout by taxpayers.Mike Muz 67":25reqds6 said:Quite where HS2 falls into that, is anyone's guess. A 20 minute saving in time over the current system. What do people do in that time? Get a Costalot coffee and tweet their friends/colleagues /wives/mistresses. Or go on this forum, and agree to buy old bike tat! Oh hang on, sounds good all of a sudden.
Willy waving,as someone on here pointed out once! The same goes for Boris Island airport! FFS!

Re:
Change happens. In my lifetime I have seen the events in South Africa, Ireland, USSR, Europe, Middle East and the rise of environmental awareness, knowledge of space, the internet and communications in general. So much change it is hard to quantify.
I don't see the same old in any of that. Regimes like Saudi, who rely on keeping their populace in the dark about their practises, are on the wain.
We won't tolerate covert duplicitous activity from our politicians, the natural progression is to insist they don't deal with those who rely on it to rule over other states.
