    why would that be the case

    are you assuming the Russia wiped out the entire world bjust tiretaliated?


    Unless you can destroy all their bigger nukes whats to stop them hitting you and everyone else afterall you just killed all their families

    Personally I don't think the Russians or the Chinese would wipe out the UK/America even if they knew 100% they could and with zero risk to even a single person on their side

    The Americas were in such a position at the end of WW2.
    They didn't wipe japan off the face if the world

    I'm 100% convinced the Chinese will not wipe out the UK/America.

    Who is going to buy all the phones, computers, clothing etc that they are making these days, if we're not around? Besides, the Chinese own chunks of the UK; Weetabix, Manganese Bronze, .....

    of course, no country would try to wipe out another people would they?

    Even if russia nuked the whole of the UK if I were the commander on a trident sub I would not nuke russia in retaliation how would killing a hundred million Russians help make the situation better?

    You will understand when someone takes you to court
    Unless you stand up for yourself and take retaliatory action you will be walked over.

    For some reason, the SNP seem to be launching several manifestos/manifesti. I have no idea why this is a good reason but then I have no idea why the SNP are a good idea.

    I will try to collate them and post them here. Any help with links would be greatly appreciated.

    Gen,

    This may help you although SNP has not yet been added. You have quite a few to go :D

    Labour has a separate Women's manifesto and one for Business I note.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    I'm not getting into the Ubuntu party manifesto!

    Thanks for the link.:)
  • They launch their main manifesto tomorrow ( Monday ).
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    Personally I think the SNP may help Labour to revert back from it's failed neo-liberal Blairite experiment, and start to serve the public again. A good place to start would be by ditching the austerity policies of the other right wing parties.
    Fact Check: has austerity held back economic growth?

    Sturgeon: "In the last five years, austerity has undermined our public services, lowered the living standards of working people, pushed more children into poverty and held back economic growth."

    Verdict

    Nicola Sturgeon’s statement on the economic impact of austerity on the UK is correct, with no qualifications.

    Child poverty grew under the previous Labour administration and those were boom times. (Well an illusion of debt really).
