  theresa may the british p.m. has called for an election.. the house of commons has to vote tomorrow and have a two-thirds majority to agree and the main opposition parties want it to happen too so it looks pretty certain to go ahead..

  The suggestion that the UK population is united in any way is fallacious.

  The outcomes of the 2014 and 2016 referenda and the 2015 and 2016 parliamentary elections are clear and the majorities are marginal, but majorities they are.

  People seem to think that when something major changes, they'll keep all the good things and there will be no drawbacks and they will just gain the new good things.

  What will the drawbacks of exiting the EU be?

  In starting Brexit, May is taking note of the will of the majority; in planning a second Scottish referendum, Sturgeon is ignoring the will of the majority. Big difference.

  After the 2014 referendum the majority went on to vote in 2016 for political parties in favour of Scottish independence... it's not such a big difference.

  pesident trump authorized the missile strike because “it is in the vital, national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the use of deadly chemical weapons.” .

  59 tomahawk missiles were launched from two us navy ships.. russia has condemned the action.. https://youtu.be/4svp3yfneyq.

  If a number of individual muslims did attend then I apologise for making a misleading statement

  Cofty, your untruth more than mislead. I know Shawlands pretty well and have had the good fortune to hang out with the Asian community in Glasgow. Your lie was an attempt to smear an entire community and using the murder of Asad Shah to do that nauseates me.

  Your post was incorrect, with intent - a lie. Nor was the vigil organised by the local MP.

  Bollocks. The Central Mosque declined an invitation but that doesn't mean not one Muslim was there. An activist friend of mine was there, with Muslim colleagues, and Hamza Yousaf MSP was there.

  Similar story in Glasgow last year. A Muslim shopkeeper was murdered by another Muslim man for saying things that were not Islamic enough. The local MP organised a vigil for all religious communities to come together in solidarity. Guess how many Muslims turned up?
  Go on have a guess?
  Yep you got it. Not one!

  That's a blatant lie.

  The published JW advice and the Correspondence Guideline say it's a conscience matter. But both say you should take into account how attendance might affect other believers...

  That extreme vetting is a failure. This week they failed to stop Mem Fox and Muhammad Ali jnr entering the USA. They did detain them for a couple of hours though.

  just seen a news clip of the old mods vs rockers fights in brighton uk in the 60s , mods on scooters (lambrettas not children's ones) and rockers on motorbikes.

  well my query has nothing to do with them!.

  just curious, years ago on here much mention from time to time of the mods, i.e.

  I have a former colleague that's a Mod: checked sta-press, DMs, Harrington and side burns, rides a Vespa, goes on rallies. Couldn't be a gentler chap, he makes things out of Harris Tweed for a living.

  i have, for about 6 months now, been trying to watch every single movie that was "cool" or interesting since 1960.it started out with a desire to watch as an adult all disney movies.

  then it morphed into all bond movies (except for the non-canonicals).now it's turned into pretty much any and all movies.

  here is my list, scratched out are ones i have seen, green are recent next-in line.turns out there was a lot i had never seen before, about 70% because of the cult restrictions!

  About the foreign language films... good point. I'll check out the ones you say.

  I'd recommend the films of Michael Haneke, Wong Kar Wai, Krzysztof Kieślowski and the earlier films of Zhang Yimou.
