Venezuela is on the brink. It has a socialist majority because previously the rich bleed them dry. Now the boot is on the other foot and the socialists are starving out the middle and upper classes who traditionally voted for the elite that

I mean this quite seriously. With the appointment of Theresa May as UK Prime Minister, the driver behind the new overreaching snooping bill, UK citizens should prepare themselves for similar actions from the UK government. May seems to have

There is some history missing there. Namely his partnership with THAT lawyer to take down his fellow warez BBS dealers. And the AT&T calling card fraud. Both in the 90's.

The comment about the SAS came from an active AFO, who worked in London at the time. I don't want to give any more information than that. I'm probably risking too much by just saying that. The comment was quite specifically, &quot

While that threat maybe real, a man in his car with his partner and 4 year old child, is not likely to be a threat on the same scale. What is a threat is gun ownership. British police do not expect to be threatened with a firearm, or shot o

That's unlikely. The current trade deal with countries like Japan, is direct with the EU powerhouse, not one single country like the UK. The size of the EU has a much stronger bargaining power than the UK can ever hope to achieve. More
