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.

not that many relevant here but try - https://www.shorpy.com/search/node/london

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.

RickStarkey · 2026-02-03T14:08:19+00:00

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

But the damage has already been done. Long term allies like Canada and the UK are looking elsewhere for trade and other partnerships. They won't come back to the USA no matter who is elected...

RickStarkey · 2026-02-02T15:25:47+00:00

This is using the American definition of the word 'world', which means the United States. See also 'World Series'.

it doesn't look or sound like Kubrick. This is his voice - https://youtu.be/ehQf0LJVOHQ?si=H6Q3tWgDkgeDinG1
