Ahhh another socialist scare tactic, the great global warming farce, tell me do you have a window, open it and have a look, it's still cold and raining in the south west and we had more snow this year than any other.

There are just as many scientists saying that man's input on global warming insignificant, and that the Earth heats up all on it's own. Have a look at this and stop dripping into your hemp kaftan.

And while I'm in the mood, would you have just left the BRITISH Falkland Islanders to be kicked out of their homes by a hostile invasion force?

You sir are a coward, sometimes, while not ideal, fighting for your beliefs is the only option, its all good turning the other cheek grasshopper, but the thing is we can all be liberal socialists until it directly affects us.

Example,

You have paid and worked hard for your home and belongings, a stranger turns up one day with a gun, and orders you under pain of death to fcuk off, so he can live in your house, you would expect people to be on your side wouldn't you ?

some of you lefty's make me piss you really do.

Renting a property out:
Yes, it is risk-laden. You can minimilise risk by using a letting agent (for a cost). High risk properties tend to be 'affordable' properties for tennants, so the Landlord has to factor in long-term benefits.

Global warming: Yep, the earth goes in cycles of warming and cooling. This are fairly regular (in terms of thousands of years cycle)
However, since the dawn of the industrial revolution, we have seen a marked acceleration of global warming, which makes previous cycles look like shallow dips/rises.
The planet is already at the peak of previous warming cycles, at warp-speed, and there is no sign of any slow-down

The thing is , no-one knows what the outcome will be.
Have we endevoured to cut emissions too late ?
Does Earth have an 'auto-recover' feature ?
Is it all bullshlte, and does anyone really care. ?

I disengage, I turn the page.

Trying to move the goalposts again. Your point wasn't that there are unscrupulous landlords because there are some, just like there are unscrupulous teachers, doctors, policemen.

However, in your original post from the Daily Mirror, you specifically linked 'unscrupulous' landlords and social housing with profiteering etc which I'm still waiting to understand why they are. This thing about landlords an another left wing myth. Prove me wrong!

Well said Jamiemartin
I have to say, it astounds me the level of ignorance that I have been reading about this.
As Jamiemartin said we were not actually at war with Argentina over the Falklands, neither country declared war as this brings with it a number of international obligations, Thatcher merely said that she was sending a task force south to reclaim the islands 'by force if necessary.' However this, as she knew full well, also obliged her to adhere to certain rules i.e. international law, maritime law and the Geneva convention - all updated after WW2 to protect conflicts from spreading, to protect civilians and prisoners - believe me we should all believe that governments adhere by these rules. One of those updated requirements was to set up a 'sphere of conflict' which in the case of the Falklands was a 200 mile exclusion zone. (in Iraq it was a no fly zone around certain defined parallels).
The Belgrano was sunk 36 miles outside the exclusion zone by a nuclear submarine on direct orders from the UK Government, although its precise co-ordinates had been disclosed
This was reported to MPs 3 years later by Clive Ponting who was subsequently charged with a breach of the Official secrets act.
That the sinking took place 14 hours after a peace deal was announced by Peru (although Thatcher said she didn't receive it hmmmm...) is largely irrelevant as it was a breach of international law and the conventions of warfare in itself.
Technically she cant be charged with a war crime because Britain were not technically at war but she can be charged with an atrocity. The likelihood of this is however negligible given that the UK has a permanent veto on the security council that governs the UN tribunal.
For the record I was in favour of the Falklands being reclaimed (and indeed the Iraq war with certain amendments) but I cannot agree with a war crime or deliberate atrocity - and I am baffled that there are some whipped up war mongers on here who probably saw the headline 'GOTCHA' who seem to be claiming they are more patriotic because they do.
The likes of Milosevic have also used 'well we were at war with them' as their defence and they too were rightfully found guilty of war crimes and atrocities.

What a load of old tosh.

We sank a boat containing soldiers that had been in and out of the exclusion zone all day. If you've been doing that you are fair game while tacking back and forth....They weren't there by accident.

Soldiers aren't lawyers, if you don't want to risk death you stay away from the killing zone, it's quite simple. Their commanders were playing dice with the lives of their troops.
At the very least they were trying to divert resources in a cat and mouse game.

The responsibility for those conscripts' death lies at the feet of their own commanders.

After this sinking the Argentinian navy stayed in its port. You don't repulse invasions by blowing the enemy a kiss.

If the enemy turns up in the theatre you hit them. That's whether they are hanging around the edges or not.

£6,500 per month to rent. Not quite a salubrious penthouse in SW1, is it? Someone is raking it in. That's taking the pIss. People will pay it because they have to or have no significant options. It's out of control. Literally.
