Man has changed the climate. That's how we got here. God was created by man to control the population. He doesn't actually exist.

Yes but a huge proportion of those greenhouse gas emissions are a result of manufacturing exports. If I cut down a tree to build a shed in your garden who is responsible for the tree being cut down?

Of course. The best possible thing for the climate would be a world wide depression. Companies shutting down production and closing. Wouldn't be the best thing for the world's population but perpetual growth is no more sustainable than perpetual motion.

All in the push for perpetual growth. Capitalism is the enemy of climate change. Consumerism is the cause of global warming.

China leads the world in green energy. Both in terms of manufacturing the most solar panels and wind turbines but also in power produced by wind, solar and hydro.

A large portion of China's emissions are Western emissions. The West has exported it's manufacturing and therefore it's emissions for the sake of the bottom line. Ever since Thatcher proclaimed ''there is no alternative'' (to globalisation) we have been exporting our carbon footprint. China's emissions aren't fine, they are ours and we need to own up to it rather than blaming China for it.

The statue of Rhodes at Oxford University was agreed by the college's governing body to be removed. However after an inquiry the governing body decided it was a waste of money (removal and legal fees) to do it so instead they put up a board explaining the controversy and used some of the charity funds to set up DEI scholarships for Black Academic Futures and fund research endeavours with the British Zimbabwe Research Society.

TBF there aren't a lot of non-white faces in uniform in that vid' and the least said about Cecil Rhodes these days, the better. I mean, he does sound a bit supremacist.

I know, Britain and France took it off the Germans in WWI and then split it into east and west with the British half eventually choosing to join the commonwealth nation of Ghana. It's a great flag though. Not the only one to contain an elephant either. Another constituent part of Ghana, the Gold Coast had one too.

Indeed, such is the appeal of the British Commonwealth that even countries with no actual affiliation with Britain apply to join it.

The flag of British Togoland.

It's a club. Exclusive to former members of the Empire only. Plus we're looking for countries prepared to put on the Commonwealth Games.

It's never too late for the USA to renounce the Republic, accept HM as the head of state and join the Commonwealth. No hard feelings, you can even keep 4th July as we are a gracious and forgiving people. GSTK.

Yeah, a couple of times in this vid' about drones ''is this the future of warfare?'' is asked of the Ukrainian drone operators and developers. ''No, this is the present''.

Well, you do have to take everything Trump says with a pinch of salt but he has talked about withdrawing from NATO.

Yes but the endgame of ''America First'' is isolationism and withdrawing from NATO.

Nice. Two Tribes is 41 years old now. Where did all the time go? Yes but for how much longer will the US be a member of NATO?

What do you think Reagan would have said about the US voting alongside Russia in the UN? To see a Republican President sucking up to Putin?

You think he'll die in exile in the Netherlands?

Both Germans too, they'll have plenty in common to talk about.

Trump's meeting with HM is going to be interesting. ''Now Mr Trump, what's all this about you replacing me as head of state in Canada?'' ''Didn't you try that before and end up having to paint the Presidential Mansion white and change its name?''
