Found some of the stories above about asbestos and other "exposures" to terrible things by unknowing recipients fascinating and tragic.

Made me wonder what the modern day equivalents will be 50 years from now. 

Covid jabs?

If that answer is anything to go by, social media might have been the right answer

Am I the only person appalled by Starmer's decision to spend billions on 12 US built nuclear bombers. Curiously, multiple searches don't reveal the cost to the British taxpayer. We can't even refuel them in the air.

This warmongering and proposed defence spending up to 5% GDP is a sop to a deranged Trump  who will be gone on four years. 

This is with the background of continued austerity, attacks on finances of the disabled and pensioners (most of whom now pay tax twice on money previously deducted from their gross salary) and  leading to increased poverty per independent bodies.

This is not Statesmanship, it is appeasement. Trump's policies are negatively impacting World Trade and reducing our GDP. Tell him to do one.

So our need to increase defence spending is due to Trump and not Putin?

Both are to blame. 

Trump is in Putin's pocket and has made Ukraine's position worse since he came to power. Trump is a very unreliable 'ally',  he changes stance on a whim . 

A bit like you then.
Pro Brexit one minute 
Hate Brexit the next

Come on mate. Uncalled for and unnecessary. That change of position has been well explained plenty of times on here. If anything it should be held up as an example of how to educate yourself on an issue.

Trouble is people in this country don't know what we have got and not got and i Include surveillance in that. You won't get it in wiki or any other publication. 

Crime Agents podcast touches on this. The two guys on there are well positioned to comment on this subject. Basically the threats are there and very real. And most of the population are oblivious to it. 

They may think they do and convince people that.  But there will be lots of knowledge gaps they won't have. 

Niel Basu is the former head of counterterrorism for the Met and the other man is investigative journalist Andy Hughes. 

Probably not the best qualified people in the world but certainly not the worst and maybe know a little bit more than most.
