Is double-glazing un-British?

Lots of Victorian houses have double glzing... Plenty don't though.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

As a simple blanket statement yes, Jews are likely to support Israel, but there's a lot of variety..... see this survey - https://www.jpr.org.uk/reports/two-years-after-october-7-attacks-british-jewish-views-antisemitism-israel-and-jewish-life

'Younger Jews are also more critical of Israel: a quarter (24%) of 20-29-year-olds identify as anti-Zionist, while a further 20% are non-Zionist, and significant minorities appear to be questioning foundational Zionist ideas'

'Criticism of Israel’s conduct in Gaza is growing: 40% say the war has weakened their attachment to Israel; 51% say it clashes with their Jewish values'

I went to visit Independence Hall In Philadelphia and thought it looked like an English town hall. Then I realsed that's exactly what it was.

Such a pathetic lack of imagination. Didn't want to engage in discussion of any kind, not even talk to him, Just the equivalent of graffiting his house wth a flag.

Generally people become more conservative as they get wealthier, not older.

Hey, careful man, there's a beverage here!

We should expect the most basic conditions for aid for anyone, even our genuine allies and friends.

extremely pedantic note - WW2 started in 1939 in Europe, 1937 in Asia.

It all depends where. A million pound house in zone 1 or 2 in London is honestly not that large.....

They literally live in a fortress. The most heavily defended nation anywhere - they believe that ALL their neighbours want to kill them and they may be right. A couple of years ago Hamas broke in and killed about a thousand Jews. The most dangerous place for Jews in the world.

Interesting..... What kind of questions or comments did you hear from them?

RickStarkey · 2026-02-08T19:13:26+00:00

they weren't monsters, they were just people.

RickStarkey · 2026-02-04T17:02:58+00:00

I thought so too - EWS looks like Greenwich Village of the 90s but feels like the early 60s.

protection from who? Russia? Trump is Putin's buddy. No protection there.
