My my you DO type an awful lot about Robinson.

I've an observation - all the sites, all the interviews, all the posts about him seem chock full of sob stories about how he is misunderstood, and how he's demonised when he's really a jolly nice chap…

Wikipedia has approx 60 MILLION pages.
This owner 'person' personally decides what is and is not allowed on all of them, in all of the 300 languages used??!? - WOW, what a superhero!

If you are right wing, then BIG SURPRISE that you find many…

Wiki is written by countless thousands of people, and the value of the content on any given page depends on the curator(s) of that page.
Every page should be treated on its own merits, and then cross referenced with other sources.
Writing the whole…

It's not what TR is fighting for that is a problem but it's the way he goes about it. He is a thug at the end of the day and he is a nationalist or patriot one could say. There's nothing wrong with being patriotic and we have many issues in this country…

I get v grumpy when there's sun forecast and none appears, no matter how brief and watery it's important to me.

Sorry but just saying TR is 'not a racist' is no help whatsoever.
Whether he is or not, he is a focal point for a lot of people who very much ARE racists.

It's no use 'not being a racist' if you take up a cause which is the NUMBER ONE hot button issue for…

Not by any means well read about TR, but - hypothesis - the problem is not whether HE is a racist or whatever, it is that a too-large % of those who buy into his message very much are far right/racist/anarchist/other problem areas.
He's not an idiot,…

Reserve anything you want, but read the blue box at the top of the page before you do :\

Are we REALLY still having the same conversation now about acceptable posting that we were 30 years ago when computer messaging first became possible & widespread?
It's v simple - even if you are not trying to be insulting, avoid anything which could be…

Tommy does it for the publicity. They handed him big free publicity by saying 'attend and be arrested'.. because guess what, does he stay at home? No of course not.. because getting arrested gets him publicity.
In this respect the extreme left that want…

Confuse-a-climate activist..!
Tell them that on Jan 4th at 4.17 pm the earth will be 5 million km closer to the sun than it was last July.
With luck they'll start foaming at the mouth and blame you for not cycling to your hip operation or recycling enough…

Doommongering Beeb are at it again - 'heavy snow and -6 temps this week over all of Scotland and N England'.

Actual forecast - CN Eng zero snow, nighttime light frosts min -1
- Inverness: one spell of V Light snow, min -2.

Compare - first frost dates:

2023 Nov 24
2022 Nov 25
2021 Dec 7
2020 Nov 5
2019 Nov 27
2018 Oct 29
2017 Nov 30

Thus the avg is Nov 21, but there can be a range over which it happens.

Late Oct is particularly notable, because I clearly remember one Halloween…

Confirming our First Freeze was Friday night (cen n eng).

It's a go to statement for all Argentinian politicians though for most it's 'negotiations' they promise.

Maybe if the native South Americans demanded their land back off the Hispanics they'd shut up about frivolous geographical justice?

Being a partner is very different from being their puppet.

'First frost' can be quite variable in the date it arrives for any given location, but is just a statistic.
Average temps over wider time periods are far more important.

Very much so. Nothing to diminish the huge & valuable data that is collected by multi-wavelength observations, but NASA have become masters of creating stunning single images to wow the public which in themselves are of no value.... except of course for…

NASA are great at producing stunning images, all multi-exposure layered.
I can't help feeling they rely too much on images because as soon as any interested youngster looks through an actual telescope hoping to see anything remotely like that they are in…

As Tarragon stated. The media brand anything to the right of communism as Far Right.

I think he is more about small government and light touch regulation than anything.

A classic libertarian is not by definition far right. Ultimately there is little…
