WS Churchill's Words of Warning:
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves".
Too True
"That such an unnecessary and irrational project as building a European superstate was ever embarked upon will seem in future years to be perhaps the greatest folly of the modern era.”
Margaret Thatcher Statecraft (Published 2002)

On Limited Government

(Interim) Last Word on the Subject
Stated briefly, I will simply try to clarify what the debate over climate change is really about. It most certainly is not about whether climate is changing: it always is. It is not about whether CO2 is increasing: it clearly is. It is not about whether the increase in CO2, by itself, will lead to some warming: it should. The debate is simply over the matter of how much warming the increase in CO2 can lead to, and the connection of such warming to the innumerable claimed catastrophes. The evidence is that the increase in CO2 will lead to very little warming, and that the connection of this minimal warming (or even significant warming) to the purported catastrophes is also minimal. The arguments on which the catastrophic claims are made are extremely weak – and commonly acknowledged as such. They are sometimes overtly dishonest.

Ha ha Iders!
I was amazed at how difficult it was to land a plane safely on water - it must have been watching all those films of 'crates' being ditched when I was a kid!
Apparently, it's nigh on impossible to do what the pilot did, so he does deserve praise!
I heard one line that a lady had to throw he nine month old baby across the water to a safe pair of hands. I expect The Sun will have an interview with Bill Beaumont, assessing her talent as a scrum half...
Well yes, Scrobs, I heard that too. Unfortunately the receiver then forgot himself and kicked for the corner.
hell scrobs knowing the US she will probably be done for child endangerment...
Excellent! When others were paying the bill I always insisted on turning left when boarding: I only once travelled right at the back, on my way to Stockholm, the business class partition having been set by SAS 4 seats form the back it was so over-subscribed: the very noticeable flexing of the plane fuselage during our flight meant I refused, from then on, to countenance anything further back than row 6.
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, Captain Darling here. As predicted, the US Airconomy has had a soft landing and henceforth all will be plane sailing. However, we still require urgent bail-outs to keep us afloat. Have a nice day".
That was a great save.
I expect for the pilot it's one of those incidents where he's kind of glad it happened. No one killed, one wrecked aeroplane - one instant celebrity who'll never have to pay for a drink again.
