Do you understand that just printing more money devalues the currency and pushes inflation up?
Have you heard of the Weimar Republic, before it collapsed you needed a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread
I guess simply put, governments borrow money to spend and pay the loans off with tax money.. A good chunk of the Uk national debt is owed to the Bank of England.

Oh no, there's lots of ifs and buts in your post. As already said, the Germans made many mistakes like bombing cities instead of airfields. If you change something in this scenario then there are many possible outcomes.
For example, Britain falls to Germany then no US troops in Europe, the possibility that commonwealth forces surrender, Germany and Japan turn on Russia and in the meantime, with little resistance (because Britain isn't supplying them) the Germans develop nuclear weapons and the fat lady sings. |

Russia's enemy was our enemy, don't forget the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed in August 1939. Russia only became our ally because Hitker invaded them.
The Russians suffered mightily but they took their revenge and the Stalin's true colours emerged too. |

Not prevention you say, maybe you should research how many terror attacks the UK has prevented in the last year...the last 10 years?
Now these harsh sentences, where are they exactly? We let people off with a smacked wrist, naughty boy (or girl) don't do it again, because our prisons are full and we are releasing criminals early before we can lock some more up. Then a large number of them re-offend. |

Hitler didn't need to invade us, if the USA had stayed right out of it we'd have been taken by a death of a thousand cuts. Without supplies from the USA we would have faded away. Then the Nazi would have their chance.
We ALL won the war, together, The Allies and Russia. Hitlers biggest mistake was Barbarossa and the Japanese, attacking pearl is up there too as a cock up.. |

Farsi? Maybe the USa should count it's lucky stars that Britain held out long enough because if we'd fallen whilst waiting for the USA to join then there never would have been D Day.
Maybe the USa should thank the French because without them the Royal family would have a palace in Washington.
See, we can do this nonsense all day. The blunt truth is Trump cannot be trusted. All of us are paying higher prices because of his action in Iran, a war he doesn't know how to get out of, we are ALL paying the price. How much is fuel in your neck of the woods these days? |

I posted that same thing on here ages ago, don't tax their income tax their "things" including their property.
They can move their cash offshore, they cannot move their properties. |

I'm sure you know this but, nobody has more experience in stupidity than me and thus I will nearly always win an argument with another stupid person.
Don't try arguing the point, you'll lose   |

Lyon and Heffer were at the very least stupid though possibly misinformed. Governments know the way things are going long before we reach situations like today.
We know Blair didn't tell us the truth about immigration when he "opened the flood gates" and today we see Lammybtrying to use the courts to prevent full factual information about immigrant criminal activity coming out. It's not just Labour though, the Tories had 14 years after Blair and did nothing much.
All our governments are complicit in the damage done to this country.
I don't hate anybody because of the colour of their skin but we know many UK Asian families (particularly South Asian communities) still tend to have slightly larger household sizes and a more multi-generational living than the white British population, though family sizes have been shrinking across generations, as have family sizes of all ethnic groups. |

You always have to be careful to provide exact detail because we know they'll use any loophole.
Besides that, good luck with the big C, live every day to your best. |

I liked him because although limited, he always gave 100% and when he did something good he certainly enjoyed it. At the very least I'd call him an honest pro, an honest trier. We've had too many players who were better but didn't work as hard.
On that score, I like Tommy Hutch too, a truly talented player who still gave it all even into his 40's. |

I agree, I think having him on the bench brings something different, specially when we need a good dead ball delivery!
As for Modric, me and my son saw him last October in Milan (Inter v Fiorentina) and he was still very good but I think Croatia have to many old players now, Modric maybeneeds someone to do his running? Leave him to do the "special" stuff because he still has great vision. It's always the legs that go and he has been a truly great player.
As much as many would like to see him turn out for us, I think it would go badly though it would generate a LOT of interest. |

As it goes I have a mate who drives down, he doesn't live so far away, it just rules out going back to the pub after the game. |
