This obviously has nothing to do with defence matters just a bit of idle gossip which some members may find interesting...However, it does offer a fascinating insight into Antonia Maino's pre Rajiv days, not least the fact that she was sleeping around from the age of 14 with a man twice her age...

A tempting notion but disastrous in practice as demonstrated by the UK's brief attempt to return to the gold standard in the 20s. To summarise, in fiat/debt based economies, where much of growth and economic activity is derived from creation of credit through fractional reserve lending...

The recent Rochdale scandal along with the string of bad press stories emanating from the Middle East means the British public currently has no appetite for yet another conflict involving Islam in general and subcontinental Muslims in particular..Expect a lot of fringe elements along with the...

Jungibaaz, I laud you for accurately identifying the symptoms yet you appear blind to the diagnosis...For further clarity, I would advise you to start with the 1st Kalma...

Although indifferent to this whole debate, I can spot a business opportunity here. Cow slaughter may be banned in India but I am assuming the law does not ban export of livestock that have come to the end of their productive life cycle? Pakistan has over 1 million heads of camel, some of which...

He is on police bail...might still get charged.The CPS are prolly looking at how best to nail this pest as I am writing this. Based on what I have read, there might be just enough there to book him for ' condoning and glorifying terrorism' under the Terrorism Act 2006.

Could you explain why your adopted country runs a $18 billion space programme when 20% of US households survive on food stamps? Record 20% of Households on Food Stamps in 2013 | CNS News Answers on a postcard....

Interesting find although I think the index is somewhat inaccurate. For instance, I notice that the UK occupies the top spot but, in my experience, anywhere worth visiting requires a visa (China, Russia, India, Iran) which usually costs twice the going rate for UK/US nationals. A Japanese or...

He was but not before he lopped off the poor woman's head. The fact is no amount of guns and ammo can prevent such sporadic, lone wolf attacks by reckless individuals intent on mass murder so it's a case of having your wits about you really...

Woman 'beheaded' in Oklahoma - Telegraph Alton Nolen allegedly beheaded a co-worker after being fired from his job where he had recently tried to convert people to Islam A woman has been beheaded in an Oklahoma food processing plant by a sacked employee who had allegedly tried to convert his...

Although normally a loathsome character devoid of principles, George does on this occasion make a fee valid points which any sensible person would find hard to disagree with. Although the West is anxious to finish off ISIL due to the number of Western fighters among its ranks, it should really...

This has wider implications for the rest of us 'Europeans', especially when one considers the fate of other similarly controversial issues such as guy marriage and euthanasia (not that I am against either). The trouble is that most institutions that matter in Europe are deeply undemocratic...

More about the precedent this sets for in The main thrust of the article is that incest 'could be' decriminalised in Germany on the back of this recommendation by the German Ethics Council. This is a reasonable assumption to make since the committee is state backed and likely plays some role...

This is what he had to say about the Briton who is currently being held by ISIS.. Choudary said today that he has no sympathy for Alan Henning, a volunteer aid worker who was captured in Syria while delivered food and water to the war-torn country. IS militants threatened to behead the...

Incest a 'fundamental right', German committee says Anti-incest laws in Germany could be scrapped after a government-backed group said relationships between brothers and sisters should be legal Laws banning incest between brothers and sisters in Germany could be scrapped after a government...

Most of that $4.4 trln is held in either US treasuries or other high quality sovereign debt, all of which is highly liquid (in fact, its considered to be as good as cash, well by countries that issue them anyway, hence the low yield). Sovereign wealth funds can be funded either though direct...

We are talking about a $100 bln investment and not 4.4 trln in the case of India- in fact much of China's forex reserves are the consequence of current account surpluses and it could potentially use most of it to buy up assets through entities like CIC if it chose to (although it would need to...
