@elgringoseba Are they Argentinian now? When did that happen? Last week? Must have missed that. Brilliant. Justice at last! Did Britain just hand them over? Thanks.

@mrmemanme LOL. Well in that case, we better prepare our special catapults and trebuchets, though they might run away when they see them. These people are such a waste of time aren't they? They show such contempt for their own people, but their populations are so gullible that I guess they really...

@raz260696 Indeed. Ironically, acting a bit like their troops during the war. Must be a national trait. This was in 2010, so how are these 'talks' going then Hillary? Making much progress? Are any Argentinians stupid and/or deluded enough to think that the Americans care about the Falklands? Beca...

Heroes: every single one.

@MrRagingbovine Yes good point. Extraordinary really given that Argentina had the advantage of possession. Britain had all the logistical and strategic difficulties but still won. Despite the tough talk, Argentina won't get a chance like that again, not with the current economic developments ther...

@MrBlackoralive Or Mourn on the Morn?

@DerrickthePinecone I don't disagree with you but I did qualify my statement by saying 'virtually' invented the genre. Other bands were of course influential in the development of the sound, though space rock is just a label really and I don't place too much emphasis on it other than as a broad d...

The problem is that Irving nowhere says what 'the guidelines' were, as Evans pointed out in court, and even if we were to accept that in this instance the orders from the top were as clear-cut and as humanitarian as Irving makes them out to be (which is highly unlikely) you cannot say this 'chang...

By his own admission, Irving does not read the work of other historians. How then can he possibly know the state of the historiographical debate, or what other historians have discovered? This nonsense about historians knowing 'what to write' - what tosh! Self-appointed 'real' historian who 'pick...

@ZombiBuddy Indeed; there is a lucidity and rationale to his conservatism. Chomsky is a formidable thinker but I think his characterization of American imperialism is too loose, and doesn't take enough account of the differing historical context. The 'imperialism' (if it was that) post-1945 was d...

Have to agree that this is a very under-rated and often over-looked Hawkwind album. Very high quality musicianship and brilliant instrumentals. Calvert on top form as well with the vocals

Tony, my old mate, Northern Ireland is not a good example to use of the conciliatory power of religion as a force for good because religion was a large part of the problem in the first place! So, it was only resolving problems which it itself had created - though whether it really has solved it r...

@MrLincolnj Correct Sir. Irving is not respected in the way Hitchens describes. Evans and Lipstadt demolished what remained of his reputation. Irving is a man who falsifies evidence, takes documents out of context, evaluates and selects documents according to their usefulness to his political ide...

For all his much-vaunted work in the archives, no mention of the Wannsee Conference? What were they discussing there Mr Irving? See, to be a historian, you have to lay personal prejudices aside and work with the available evidence - not just those bits of evidence which enable you to promote a co...

@0212900049 You might mean 'Prison' by anarcho band The Mob?

@bungee1965 I think he is alleging that GG is on the payroll of Arab states?
