Stupid statement.

Despite your centrist laissez faire like attitude to the decline of Western civilisation, trends don't only move in one direction.

The fate of Europe is not preordained. It will be determined by the decisions of men, all the time men exist.

The 'situation' will be at the mercy of people who are determined to shape it, not old men on their sofas in Cornwall who are happy to excuse away anything and everything because they adhere to some naive ideal.

It won’t be decided by men, old or not.

It will be decided by people, half of whom are women. It will also be decided by circumstances and the need to respond to them.

Increasingly it will be decided by the young, and by their attitudes, which they will retain as they grow older and replace us.

The kind of thinking you espouse is the last hurrah of a fading generation.

There are without doubt 14 to 20bn in savings to be made by stoping the waste and vanity spending.

I used to do some aviation fleet insurance, for certain airlines like Garuda, the limit of liability for injury and death was specifically reduced on Haj flights to a nominal amount, the reason was any misfortune would be God's will.

Mohammed premiums were reduced for those flights
