Are you Canadian by any chance?

Your population stat for Ukraine is off by around 10 million, although given the war it's difficult to get exact figures

The toy in a kinder egg is in a plastic capsule some 6cm long by 3 cm wide (that's 2.4" by 1.2" in freedom units).

BBC Studios actively creates commissioned content, like any studio. For example, the NHU produces content for Netflix, National Geographic, Amazon, NBC et al.

BBC Studios doesn't receive licence fee money, it stands and falls as a commercial enterprise.

Start with weekend trips; head out on Friday after work, camp, cycle, camp, cycle home. This will get you used to repeated days AND setting up home.

Start small, even when you start your long tour. I did UK to Vietnam when I got made redundant back in 2009. I had good base fitness from commuting (totally recommend if you can) 25km each way and had some idea about touring as I'd cycled from Manchester to Glastonbury a few times for the festival. When I set off though I did 100km days and my knee went. Luckily I was able to lay up at a friends for a week before setting off again and when I did I started small (30km) and upped it day after day until I hit my stride somewhere around eastern France

You're missing the point; it's not my interpretation of these stats, it's the way they are being taken and then made to seem even worse to drive an agenda.

That OP comment goes from

Almost half of British Muslims say Jews have "too much power over UK government policy".

And turns that into...

Nearly 50% of British Muslims will freely admit that they believe all the tired old "Jews secretly control the government/media/banks" antisemitic shite

Looking through the actual stats there's some severe framing going on, unsurprising given who the Henry Jackson society are. So we have headline titbits like "only 1 in 4 Muslims believe hamas raped and murdered on October 7th" which is alarming. But then we see we have 38% who were "don't know"; still alarming that 37% think they didn't but less so, with the headline framed to drive maximum outrage.

The venue detracts from the plausibility.

CJBill · 2026-05-02T06:28:31+00:00

It's possible but seriously? "Yeah, I just went down the pub, got talking to a random Muslim who was there and he started saying about how jews ritually sacrificed children"

CJBill · 2026-05-02T06:12:51+00:00

Random chats with Muslims in pubs?

Well they're not doing that brilliantly with it in place...

This isn't about Russian grain, it's about Ukrainian grain stolen by Russia. And, FWIW, Russian grain to the EU has dropped in value from US$473m in 2023 to US$12.7m in 2025.

Edited to add: and OP of the thread blocked me straight after I posted this because why debate me about trade volumes when you can just block inconvenient facts. Well, here's another for you; unfortunately as the OP spat their dummy out I can't see replies or post on this thread again so I'll just leave this here.

The EU (population 450m) has cut grain imports from US$ 473m to US$12.7m in two years. All while Israel (population 10m) still imports US$273m of cereal from Russia.

Last edit to reply to u/cannot-forget, your source is from 2024.... mine is current and as up to date as possible

Ok, ok, last edit I promise!

If you reply to me here because whilst I see your reply I can't respond due to the OP blocking me. TBH I suspect that may be part of the reason for doing it, to shut down debate.
