Similarly, many in Bristol want commemorations to a slave past erased as it offends black people today. It...

Re: A scathing article on the EU

Josef K I can see your point, and you my well be right. But had Hitler beaten us, we would have been ruled by Germany long before now. As I see it, whilst the remoaners wish to stay under EU law, where mainly Germany and France hold sway, then their forefathers need not have died for their freedom....

German Journalist’s view on Brexit.... from Independent

I haven’t posted much on Brexit recently..... I’ve seen loads of negative articles but resisted posting. I regard this article as informative and quite interesting as an outside view on why and what influenced brexit and how it’s regarded in Germany. I dont think it’s particularly Pro or Anti Brexit...

Re: Photovoltaics are the way to go.. Article CMail 30.8.17

Devil. I accept the costs argument, 10’s of thousands of properties are rented out and consume more electricity than residential properties. Cyprus are fined every year for not meeting targets. This would accelerate take up. Cypriots generally don’t have pools. They also don’t used air-con to the sa...

Re: Photovoltaics are the way to go.. Article CMail 30.8.17

I wonder why the ability to do this is restricted to residents. Surely it is in Cyprus interests to have as much electricity from green sources? Many thousands of people who own property in Cyprus, would invest in Photovoltaic, if they could connect to the grid....

The UN has tried and failed and the reality is that the wound is still open. Turkey cant impose or find ...
