May should appoint Farage as chief Brexit negotiator. Forget party lines, do it for the good of the country and its people. Farage will get the best deal or walk away on WTO terms, either way the UK is paying nothing more to the EU they have milked us for far too long.

There is a very definite management culture in Asia of do nothing until there is only one choice left. That way a manager can avoid any blame of making a decision because 仕方が無い there was no choice.

The US spends 60% of all tax revenue raised on “defence” if the US is not killing people across the globe then the fat cat heads of US defence corp and its shareholders do not grow filthy rich. That is THE only reason the US is still in Afghanistan.

What is the big deal? Films have done straight to DVD is the past so why not?

Layers actually tell men to do a runner because the attitude of J Pol on gropers is guilty, even if proven innocent. Until J Pol balance accusations which can be life damaging to the accused are properly investigated doing a runner is the best defence.

Those people saying give that kid a job do not understand how easy it is to do this. There are kits you can DL to do this and you can pay a bot master to distribute your kit on a large scale. This kid tried to do the distribution on his own, that is why only 100 infections were recorded not 100,000 plus. The real problem is how insecure the Microsoft operating system really is.

The majority of British people outside London agree 100% with Trump on this.

Climate change is real, has been for as long as the Earth has been around, but mans contribution has been insignificant as proven by ice core samples. More Co2 means more “air” for plants to breath in exchange for oxygen through photosynthesis. So it is all about taxing the minions to pay for idiotic renewable energy ideas like the wave turbine, built at great cost, operational for less than six months and then too expensive to recover and repair so the company went bust and taxpayer money was squandered. Trump is right to turn his back on quack science dreamed up by scientists who benefit from continued grants to produce this eco rubbish.

Even before Brexit the EU was looking for far greater regulatory control of financial markets. That extra regulatory burden will stifle EU based financial services making them far less profitable. Meanwhile, freed from such regulatory shackles the city of London financial power houses will be busy taking advantage by creating new financial and investment instruments to temp the World.

As ever when government wants to erode civil liberties they quote terrorism and yet most terrorists are a direct result of political interference in other countries affairs. Tony Blair the ex UK PM created ISIS by his idiotic invasion of Iraq. David Cameron, another idiot PM destabilised Libya creating more terrorists and these stupid gits want the same for Syria. One might think that politicians deliberately create the problem precisely to erode our civil liberty.

Premeditated murder of a minor, luring her to her death and he did not get the death penalty? I agree with the parents way too lenient .

Earlier in the month the J Gov had said that they would not ask people to scale back use of electricity in the summer months. This is why, they know more reactors would be in service to cover the demand.

The Americans would have taken NK out by now if: 1) There were oil or other natural recourses to be had from corporate America winning contracts to rebuild the place. 2) Saudi Arabia desired regime change. 3) Israel desired regime change. Or After NK strikes US soil and they can claim a “pearl harbour” or “911” style sneak attack to galvanise US public support.

M$ have wanted to push users to their software as a service drip feed revenue model for years and of course the Chinese have a 98% pirated install base of XP that M$ has failed to convince the Chinese government to clamp down on. So, who benefits the most from this financially? M$ of course. The shock will leverage governments to upgrade to 10 “for protection”, but stop for a moment. The 10 interface requires substantial user training get the same productivity. If I were government IT buyers I would switch to Linux and get users trained on that. WINE can run most Windows apps and Open office has compatibility with M$ Office. M$ have reined for too long with their sloppy code base that is no better now with W10 that it was with XP.

Good day for freedom of speech and holding those in power accountable to the public that they are supposed to serve in effect though he has served 5 years in confinement.

Trump has upset the NWO and this is their payback. Instead of punishing Russia for the NWO expansionism of the EU into Ukraine we should be doing trade deals with them and since Russia intervened in Syria, ISIS – another Western made threat are being neutralised. The NWO needs the people to fear Russia or ISIS or any other threat so that they can continue to erode our personal freedoms in the name of terror or Russian hackers. Russia is trying to reach out and since the West would not have won WWII if it were not for the huge human sacrifice of Russians on the Eastern front that practically annihilated the entire German 9th army keeping them from repelling allied D day landings, then I think we are too easily forgetting out debt of gratitude toward Russia.

It is time to neutralise the NK threat forever and if that means upsetting China or Russia, then so be it. Fat Boy should be hit with everything short of nuclear weapons from the US, Japan and South Korea. The World tolerated the rise of a lunatic prior to 1939, time to nip this one in the bud.

Only the truly stupid cannot see this for what it is. The Rebels are losing. This is a last ditch desperate attempt by rebels to gain support from the US against Assad. Without the US the rebels are finished and they know it. Without a UN resolution backing the US raid on sovereign Syrian soil the US openly committed an act of war against Syria and yet no one says a word. Russia is right to stand up against US global aggression.

Syria is a sovereign nation. Without declaring war on Syria the US dropped 50 rocket munitions onto their soil. This alone is an act of war by the US. How would it be if the US decided that Japan deliberately targeted its citizens through their neglect to oversee operations at their nuclear plants, poisoning their citizens homes and condemning many to a slow death from radiation? The West seems to think that attacking countries is fine as long as they want something, oil, resources, regime change that is more favourable to Western corporate interests or to pander to Israel or Saudi Arabia. If I were Putin I would say to the West, next time I push the big red button, lets see how you like that.

When you put an advert in a newspaper or on a billboard or on the side of a bus you do not know who will see it and it should be the same in cyberspace or the people should be able to completely opt out of personalised adds. This is another factor in the rise of ad blockers.

Subtle adds in the sidebar no larger than one quarter of the main content are okay. Larger than that and I simply leave the page or turn on one of my two heavy duty blockers. Also sites should stop cross scripting. Some sites load B/S from 5 or more other sites. That is not acceptable to me and also gets blocked.

Who cares? Really? Are Japanese really putting a negative label on kids by calling them halfs or is it just the insecurity of Western snowflakes that have such low tolerance to anything that offends their liberal, all inclusive, diversity rules ok - B/S.

Activist investors are out to oust this clown. So the days of his inane ranting will soon be over.

The best thing to come out of this so called fake news thing is that people believe less and question more. So in future it should be much more difficult for politicians to convince us of Weapons of Mass Destruction when what is really meant is a government desire for regime change.

It never occurs to politicians to cut taxes. Big government is a pre millennium idea that failed time and time again. Hong Kong under British rule, prospered because of low taxation and small government but that would mean all the old talking heads and suits would be out of work and the gravy train of civil service jobs would be derailed.

When Japan Inc offered a job for life it was a trade off. Now, Japan Inc is forced to compete on a global stage of cost reduction it cannot afford the old ways and so when the employer lays people off, and I have known some big brands lay off 15 year plus people, then it is not surprising that the younger ones think “okay, if that’s how it is, it’s every man for himself” and so Japanese society as a whole will change to a more “me” focussed Western model.

Oh how the propaganda spin doctors are desperately trying to drum up support for anti Russian sentiment, and failing. The West needs to stop its war posturing and make trade deals with Russia. It was EU expansionism into Ukraine that provoked Russia and Putin has been exceptionally measured in his response to Western aggression.

Headline should read “Facebook caught falsifying returns to boost revenue” which is exactly what happened since FB sells ad space, ad time of day delivery and many other factors to its commercial partners who consequently have over paid. If this were a real world firm false reporting would see its shares tumble, but the insanity of advertisers for all things Internet sees the Zuk empire untouched.

Big deal. Close to one million people protested in South Korea about their presidents alleged corruption, so it is a storm in a Tea cup.

Sounds like District 9. That was also produced on a low budget. There is no reason to suppose that alien visitors would be hostile, that is humanity projecting Matthew Perry's gunboat diplomacy onto alien visitors. If they can travel great distances through the universe, chances are that Humanity is mealy a curiosity to them as they would possess the technology to wipe us out in the blink of an eye or they are so advanced that they are just out taking a joyride around the universe when they happen upon Earth. Either way, their science and technology would make our weapons look like stone ages axes to them.
