I would like to take this opportunity to wish all on OOF a very Merry Christmas. :)

I sincerely hope that you all enjoy the break, in whatever form it may take. :y

The US has the most corrupt establishment in the world. It's turned into a banana republic. Most of the politicians are bought and paid for – and even the judiciary is bent.

I'm beginning to think that a revolution and/or civil war there is becoming inevitable.  :(

Excellent interview with Jim Ferguson. :y

I was always happy to support an EU which was solely interested in trade and free movement. As soon as it became deeply political, I had worries so that's why I voted for Brexit. Seems my fears are coming true, but Brexit may not stop it.

Same here. If the EU was just about trade, I would be in favour. But it's not.

A lot of the Remain camp bat on about passports, import duties, paperwork, and other relatively minor inconveniences. It's all peanuts compared with political and military control.

100% correct.

Of course. Doesn't mean that all Ukrainians are Nazis though.  ::)

Britain ran concentration camps in South Africa during the Boer Wars and much more recently in Kenya in the 1950's during the Mau Mau uprising.  Does that make all Brits fascists and Nazis?  ???

Of course not. However, the fact  remains that, in Western Ukraine, far-right nationalism is deeply entrenched. Every 1 January, they "celebrate" the birth of Stepan Bandera – the obnoxious Ukrainian who was the leader of a branch of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B), which collaborated with the Nazis during the German occupation of western Ukraine. Although Bandera himself was imprisoned in Germany for much of the war, his followers founded the paramilitary Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), under the leadership of the OUN-B, which was responsible for the massacre of up to 100,000 Poles and tens of thousands of Jews during the war.

Vinnitsa in Ukraine has even renamed a street from Leo Tolstoy to Stepan Bandera. That's how deep-rooted Nazism is in Western Ukraine.

Even the BBC covered the Nazi problem but, of course, that was a few years ago...

Amazon will sell you a new torch for 75p

Yes, I know. But I'm one of the "don't throw it if it can be fixed" brigade.

Probably explains why I still have an Omega. ;D ;D

That was arguably a waste of money unless you have to pay someone to change bulbs and wiper blades.

But at least it works

Not really. Given the weather, it was worth every penny.

Had it been in the middle of July, I would have done it myself.

General Discussion Area / Leaking AA battery
« on: 18 December 2023, 14:33:47 »
SWMBO found a metal torch (like a Maglite) in the house. The bulb lit, but was very dim.

She tried to take the batteries out, but the end cap would not budge.

Enter Migalot! "I'll sort that out".

Using mole grips and a Stillson, I was finally able to get access to the batteries, but they were all covered in that white powder associated with a leakage.

Obviously, despite cleaning as best I could (what "dissolves" that leakage sediment?), the batteries won't budge from the main tube. I thought about putting a screw into the battery base and having a good heave. Now, I know that obviously that shouldn't be attempted on a lithium battery, but is it totally safe on a regular AA battery?  :-\

Had an auto-electrican swap the rear door loom and all is well again!  :y :y

There was no visible break in the speaker wire, but when he put the circuit tester between the plug pin and cable end, then jiggled the rubber sleeve about, the signal was very intermittent.

Anyway job done. Thanks to all for the help and suggestions. :y

I don't know.... maybe they were spiked with an essence of revolutionary fervour?  >:D

Do you seriously think that a US State Department official wandering around a protest camp is proof that the CIA orchestrated a coup in Ukraine?  :)

And fascists demonstrators?  ::)  Seriously?  ???   ;D

You've not read about the Azov Batallion. I used the word "fascist" to avoid the use of the more apt "N***" word.

Senator Eric Brakey spells it out here.

Some say that the downfall of Viktor Yanukovych was a coup organised by the CIA!  :-X  Now I love a good conspiracy theory, but given the well documented events of the time, I think it's more likely that the moon is made of Swiss cheese and that the Clangers do indeed live there.  ;D

Wonder why Victoria Nuland was handing out cookies to the fascist demonstrators on Maidan?

Nine years old, but fresh at the time.

I believe that the expansionist policies of NATO and the  EU gave Putin the excuse to do what he did, but now he has done it he must be stopped regardless that.

It was the EU and their Association Agreement which kicked it all off much more than NATO, as Putin didn't want Ukraine becoming an EU satellite.


There was never any prospect of Ukraine joining NATO, although if they had joined maybe this mess wouldn't be happening.  :-X

Wrong. Putin said he would accept Ukraine in the EU as it's not a military bloc (well not at the moment anyway).

I always thought Britain should steer well clear PESCO even when we were members of the EU, as keeping full control of our armed forces should have been a massive red line that no British leader should cross. That we've signed up to elements of PESCO post Brexit is disgusting, even if it is for pragmatic reasons and we will get sucked in further for sure.  :-X

I did note that Jim Ferguson said that Germany had caused two World Wars and he hoped they weren't going to cause a third. Well, nobody wants that of course, but also nobody forced Russia to invade Ukraine, and nearly ten years on there is still no justification for any of Russia's military actions in their neighbours territory. >:(

It's been only two years and there are many events during the preceding years – particularly the Maidan coup in 2014 – which, rightly or wrongly, prompted the war. I have read a great deal about it and I can honestly say that Putin didn't wake up one morning and think "I'm bored. I think I'll invade Ukraine". However, listening and watching the Western mainstream media, you'd be forgiven for believing that.

Sunak, Cameron etc... committed Globalists.
 Starmer also and he will be advised by Blair, an arch Globalist.

Indeed. Time for Reform. Labour/Tories are one globalist uniparty.
