The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

Getting away with murder

U.S. Marine is CLEARED!

A US marine, captured on film killing a wounded Iraqi at point blank range during November's assault on Fallujah, will not be formally charged because of a lack of evidence, CBS News reported yesterday.

The November 13 shooting occurred during a search of a mosque in a widely broadcast incident that sparked worldwide outrage.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said it showed "utter contempt for humanity".

An embedded NBC cameraman filmed a trooper raising his rifle and shooting at point blank an apparently unarmed, wounded Iraqi slumped against amosque wall.

Although the insurgents were found to be unarmed, investigators said one of the marines believed he had seen one moving possibly for a weapon.

The rifleman was withdrawn from combat during the investigation but the graphic footage enraged many, even months after the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal.

Fallujah was raided to beat key rebel enclaves ahead of January's election.

I haven't seen anyone come on this site and say that it wasn't a murder and that these people should be brought to justice. Since you have such a problem with this site feel free to piss off. This site can do without your idiotic and racist statements.

What about the IRA who can get away with the brutal killing of a man in the Short Strand?
