So what is the driving political philosophy of the CDPJ or is it just “I want to be in power”.

Unless they can show a clear coherent and consistent policy programme based on a core ideology, they will be indistinguishable from the LDP and have no chance to get their message across and attract the attention and possibly the votes of the electorate.

The fact that they all come from disparate short lived political factions (they can hardly be truly called parties) does not bode well.

Forgot to add, I semi retired at 55 and retired at 60 and never regretted it for a second. Money is very far from everything and buying “things” in no way compensates. Time is more important to enjoy being you and enable you to be the human being you should be.

Having never defined myself by what I did to pay the mortgage, I can neither agree or relate to this. This I would suggest is a particularly US problem, Europe and the UK have a much healthier approach to work life balance. On the whole we work to live rather than live to work.

If I’m not a college professor, then what am I

Either a failed human being or a well programmed drone. If that is all you are then you are a hollow simulation of a human.

While the ancients took it too far as a product of their society, they didn’t get it entirely wrong, a balance of the less immediate merely utilitarian aspects of what a human is capable of helps to create a more rounded comprehending individual, which is what democracy needs to function properly and what corporate machines of any kind do not want.

As long as your pants and your stupid iPhones say "made in China", together with three quarters of the things you own, you support this country and the war it wants to start. I know many will downvote me, but it's possible to live a life without owning anything made there.

Do you know of anyone who does that?

Yes me.

If the headline hadn’t informed me otherwise I would have thought it was an Egremont Russet Apple!

Who was the thief selling these to? If in Japan, receiving stolen goods is probably also a crime in Japan?

I assume this variety of pear commands a high price (as so often fruit appears to in Japan)?

Don’t “observe” the vessel, arrest it, prosecute the captain, require the Chinese embassy to pay for/arrange the crews repatriation and impound the ship and sell it for scrap.

I would question his suitability for the post he occupies if this is the level of his competence.

National elections, no. Local elections, yes.

This is what happens when you have an engineering company run by accountants! Bean counters are a support service, providing information. They should never be let near decision making. Seen the unfortunate negative effects in so many organisations.

Well, they could make some nice Perry with them!

If multiple generations could be buried in the same vault, it could even be a long term cost saving for families. Cremation urns don’t take up a lot of space so you could pack in a lot in that space.

No.

Yes. Of course it’s not a panacea but transparency starts to change the perception and in time the culture. It is but one measure that needs to be put in place but if no action is taken things will never change.

Every journey begins with but one step.

Putting proper pavements in with a solid raised kerb would massively increase pedestrian safety. Those little white lines are utterly useless to keep people safe.

Isabelle, thank you for the effort each time. It seems that some people are here not to learn but to spread discord repeatedly until people become tired and stop posting the truth

I wholeheartedly agree.

If you can buy so called verification it is meaningless, it is just an income generation trick to boost profits masquerading as something it isn’t. So yes it is misleading consumers.

IMHO, the EU will cease to exist sooner rather than later. There are boycott against French foods, German Autos, Italian luxury....all over the world, especially Asia

Evidence please, and on what grounds?

large internet companies have been given a free ride but now there is a world wide backlash which in democratic countries is being reflected in a demand for greater regulation and above all accountability for their profit driven failings and malicious behaviour.

Biden and Trump are both for different reasons, unfit for the office. The USA needs a better choice than these decrepit dinosaurs.

There should have been a clean sweep of the top brass and serious consequences for all those miss handling or permitting the mis handling of data. Clear out the deadwood and incompetent; give an unequivocal message to the rest and an equally clear message to their partners they mean business, not just the usual fudging and apologies because quite honestly Japans elite need to realise it simply doesn’t cut the mustard with the rest of the world.

Worryingly the Labour Party tends to be myopically Euro centric and will pull the plug on anything out side of that. Don’t be surprised when they downgrade or cancel virtually everything in the Indo-Pacific area.

Apologies, Gussie was what auto correct deemed I meant when I typed Gusain!

Roger Gussie, I was actually living in the UK in 1983, and still am, your comment is pure bollocks.

Very pleased to see the Imperial couple could finally make the visit, hope they enjoy themselves an have some time away from formal events. The mask is very odd, if she is allergic to horses as albaleo wrote above, then I would have thought a course of antihistamines a more effective remedy. Otherwise it does make her stand out unnecessarily as absolutely no one else is wearing one and nor is such needed in the UK.

Sounds like a bright and happy moment in his life before the gloom of the Imperial Household closed in around him. Hope he enjoys his time in the UK. Perhaps he can go for a quiet pint, if he can slip his minders and handlers!

As circumstances change she should have adapted, down played the Muscovite empire angle and highlighted her Ukrainian origins and made a point of selling Ukrainian products.

This is just bad business management, when the market moves for whatever reason a business must adapt or die. She didn’t.

The U.S. and UK start a war

In what perverted and twisted alternate reality does an unprovoked, genocidal invasion by poo tins rabble of rapists, thieves and torturers passing its self off as an army becomes a war started by 2 countries uninvolved save in assisting the lnnocent?

The entirety of frozen assets should be handed over to Ukraine to assist in their defence against a fascist aggressor, not just the income, but every little helps.

Russia infrastructure is a target

Any country has the right when invaded by an illegal aggressor like the Muscovite empire, to strike back at the aggressor to destroy their military and degrade their capacity to prosecute the illegal invasion.

Ukraine is hitting military targets unlike orcs who for 28 months of the 3 day invasion have deliberately targeted civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Western governments and especially the USA should never have tied Ukraines hands behind their backs in regard to western weapons, they should have been destroying the muscovites military in their own country since day one.

Good, glad they are safe. Should never have been held captive by cowardly Hamas in the first place. Let’s not forget how they ended up as hostages, the murderous butchery of civilians and children in a Co-ordinated and long planned rampage of murder, torture and rape.

Hamas must go, not because we can’t live with them, but because they can’t live with us and seek genocide.

The mindset of some people is beyond comprehension. I can only question his mental capacity as no one of full mental capacity would think this a normal or rational thing to do.

Sounds more like projection, orcs and their despicable collaborators always accuse others of what they are doing them selves.

killed 22 and wounded 15 people, Moscow-appointed governor Vladimir Saldo said.

Well there is a trustworthy and reliable source of lies, whoops, I meant to say unbiased information.

the ex-mayor of Kupiansk, Hennadiy Matsehora was in “critical condition” after he was attacked in Russia’s Belgorod region, bordering Ukraine.

Always good to hear when traitors and collaborators get what they deserve.
