Palestini as it was known to the Greeks in 5 BC stretched from Phoenicia to Egypt the people of that land Muslims, Jews and Christians are fairly distinct in culture and genealogy. It was never an empty land awaiting settlement and its undeniable that both Jewish and Muslim Palestinians suffered...

Everytime the Israeli / Palestinian conflict flares up some elements of the unions talk about a boycott though it usually amounts to nothing. Perception seems to be everything Israeli now in the eyes of the UK public appears as an oppressor and thats a view held across the political spectrum. I...

This seems to be an often quoted untruth as the Palestinians seem to be a fairly distinct group that had roots in the area well before the Arab Muslim conquest. I would hazard a guess that most Palestinians could make a better case of belonging than many of the rather Germanic and Slavic looking...

That might have been Bartolomé García Correa if so he snuffed it in 1978

They could have stated their own case (they are not without a voice) but the clout of the Green and conservation lobbies seduced them into collusion. Some of the more independent thinkers in the US pro-angling lobby actually cautioned against siding with the conservation movement way back in the...

Being a former commercial fisherman and monitoring the situation for some time all I can say is that's an "own goal" for US leisure fisherman as they have been colluding with the Greens and big buck conservation lobbies for some time for tighter inshore controls and zoning. F*ck em. :mad:

I thought we were discussing GSM being used for detection rather than privacy and civil liberties.

There was a lot of work done on this years back and was public knowledge, the Serbs used their GSM network on 900Mhz as an early warning system. There are issues using GSM in the UK and most of Europe for detection and it becomes less effective the closer the target is to the ground due to high...

Now turning out to be the ultimate get of jail free card, if its the word of God who is stop you stalking Jodie Foster lookalikes or keeping a Gimp is the basement. :D God made me put the Smiley in the post.

There seems to be more than a few scam artists on the forum these days.

The North Sea exploitation was driven by private enterprise and investment from day one BNOC was set up to get oil ashore and into the refineries quicker than had in the past in a very tight credit environment. There is little real evidence that Thatcher had clear and consistent energy policies...

Put a 20% dent in it over a period of 3 weeks basically broke my own rules and put way to much trust in the fundamentals rather than the numbers. You live and learn. :)

BNOC was responsible for a extremely small part of North Sea development you make sound like whole of UK oil and gas was under national control, are you from the UK if you are where are you getting your information from. BNOC was launched in 1975 under the Petroleum & Submarine Pipe-lines Act...

President Obama received a chunk of contributions from Connecticut hedge funds early on and the likes of Tudor Jones and Soros were firmly behind him from the get go, all in all it would appear that the President's direction on the financial sectors woes was known so they chose their guy well.

Given that MA seems to favor and has been used to charismatic politicians its no surprise that Coakley with all the charisma of a house brick lost, Scott Brown seems to be a good bit more to the left than many of the Republicans on this forum though and he does come over as sheep in wolves...

You would love to argue on here Bernie but your really not up to it mentally. :)

I would like to thank Al Gore for adding another futures instrument.

The JTF! Talk about the kettle calling the pot black, the man behind the JTF, Victor Vancier has even been barred from entering Israel due to his connections to the outlawed Kach group which in turn is connected to the criminal JDL group. Bernard you have shown your true colors as your...

There is a good chance that solar stocks could make a strong comeback if and when carbon capping and credit certification becomes a little more formalized. Solar is a front runner in many parts of the world for carbon offsetting.

We can all argue the validity of carbon cap and trade but for the banks its going to derived into new shiny instruments. Quoted from Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601170&sid=aXRBOxU5KT5M
