Thanks R_L, To my mind, this is just further evidence - for those that need it - of AIs built-in bias. I accept fully that if the exact same question was asked of Russian AI that it would be biased in favour of Russia. On balance though, Russian version of events is either closer to the truth...

Hi R_L, Not sure of your source, but it's misleading in part - certainly regarding the Minsk agreements. It's Europe that reneged on those and, amazingl;y, even bragged out it saying they were just a stalling tactic to allow Ukraine to re-arm. Not saying Russia's perfect and done everything by...

I'm sorry to say I don't share your optimism, At'. I hope I'm wrong but, to me, this sounds like NATO through the back door which, needless to say, Russia won't agree to. If there's a buffer zone dividing whatever remains of Ukraine to the West and Russian occupied territory to the east, the...

Cheers Alan - hope y'all had a swell time on Saturday. Not sure about joining you next year - I'm only just over the hangover I had after you and I carried on drinking at Paddington after the 2017/2018? Christmas bash! :cool:

For all you aging rockers out there, here's an absolutely cracking live performance with a stunning opening guitar solo. Enjoy . . .

Hi BB, Could you post a link to your source, please? Cheers, Tim.

This is entertaining. Enjoy! (Trigger alert, an elderly man uses the F word - repeatedly!) :)

I'll be there in spirit Paul - say hello to anyone who remembers me - and season's greetings to one and all! 🎉🎇🎈🥳👯‍♂️ Hot tip: go long silver. Extraordinary alignment of funnymentals and technicals (a 30+ year cup and handle pattern). Hit new highs today - but it's just the start. Put in a wide...

Anyone who's interested in gold's future prospects from a fundamental perspective - rather than a purely technical one - might find this interview with maneco64 interesting. Enjoy . . .

The current furore over the BBC's editing of President Trump's speech is, needless to say, just the tip of the iceberg which, far from what the BBC claims, isn't melting. The corporation's bias on ALL the major news stories of the day (by which I mean those that rumble on for years if not...

. . . Just so I'm not accused of making allegations without any supporting evidence, here's Mariana Spring from BBC Verify making completely false claims about Elon Musk on - would you believe - Panorama. I can't help but wonder if the person who doctored President Trump's speech is also...

For a number of years, the BBC’s coverage of climate change and related policy issues has been misinforming the public. It is often one-sided, misleading and sometimes even factually incorrect, with an absence of alternative views and inconvenient facts that might run counter to the BBC agenda...

Back to Ukraine . . . Many of us on this thread have argued for a good 18 months now - even two years or more - that Russia would win this conflict and that there was absolutely nothing that NATO and the west could do to stop them, short of a nuclear conflict in which everyone loses. Those on...

Hi Histo' The fact checkers don't but, in a way, the BBC does! At the height of the scamdemic, they set up BBC Verify: ". . . a specialist team of journalists using open-source intelligence (OSINT), satellite imagery, data analysis and forensic techniques. They fact-check information, verify...
