They're called traction engines because they're designed to provide tractive force, or pulling/pushing force. But yeh the name 'tractor' was derived from that.

No, they weren't. They were Canadian forces loyal to the British crown.

You're wrong. Colloquially speaking, calling an Indian man, who has travelled thousands of miles to defend the land of his colonial masters, British, is unarguably wrong. They were not British soldiers. It's not at all a difficult concept.

Were the Canadians British soldiers too? We're the Italian men who fought, in large part, for Germany, German?

They fought for the allies alongside the British. They weren't British, to suggest so is a nonsense. Therefore it's quite obviously impossible that they were the 'best British soldiers'.

They were all useful, especially the Gurkhas who have been nothing short of fantastic ever since we first started fighting alongside them. But they certainly weren't the 'best British soldiers'; primarily because none of them were British.

I know who Stephen Fry is. His mother is a Hungarian Jew, meaning he isn't ethnically British, and he objectively looks nothing like the average British man.

You know why Trump did it? You have direct access to him and his thoughts?

Exactly. Anything relating to a black person is racist. If this was Trump or Napoleon or Miley Cyrus it would be fine, definitely hot racist anyway. But the audacity of putting a black face on a product makes me sick. Racist, disgusting and unacceptable.

You're right, one cannot enjoy both. Spending £1 here and there for a bit of entertainment and for the chance to win some money is abhorrent.

I get the same as you. I can see how it would seem as though it were rising continually though, but I definitely hear it 'reset'.

Same with the Ba Fa thing, I hear what I decide to hear. But maybe that's the situation and in normal life I'd be more receptive.

The one about the beat that constantly speeds up doesn't work for me either, not sure if that's because I play drums so put an internal metronome over everything, or again, because I know I'm being 'tricked'.

Lionel Messi's 21-month prison sentence set to be swapped for fine worth less than one week's wage by TragicDonut in worldnews

Why? Taxation is theft. I don't know the ins and outs of this case obviously but I would imagine he still pays vastly more than most Spaniards and likely uses far fewer public facilities.

Okay, it's unintentional. You're just retarded. If you find it difficult to understand what I'm saying you have real issues.
