It simply isn't wise to let foreign companies own something so vital. I have no doubt people are more worried when it's the Chinese then when it's the Americans but the principle is the same regardless in my view.

Most Zionists were pro German at the beginning of the war. They didn't like Russia which massively persecuted Jews at the time. They changed sides after the Balfour declaration. If Germany had won they would probably have simply bought the land from the Ottoman Empire, who by this time had...

I haven't mentioned Erdogan. I was pointing out that Communists don't believe in democracy so it's hypocritical for them to complain when they get overthrown in coups.

I must have missed all those regular elections in the Warsaw Pact countries. Or Cuba, Vietnam, China, North Korea etc.

There are never elections again after they win.

Nothing wrong with overthrowing Communists. Why is Chile the most developed country in Latin America if Pinochet was so bad?

I'm not sure how "unnerving" it is. Much of the EU is pretty soft on Russia. Only Britain, Scandinavia, Romania, Poland and the Baltic States are really hostile.

If Sarkozy, Cameron and Obama hadn't removed Gadaffi then there would be no migrant crisis. How can he be trusted to deal with it?

I agree with you about the coup response. Germany should not be interfering in Turkish affairs. But riling up Turks in Germany, Austria, Belgium etc and turning them against their governments is also an interference. It could also create further tension between indigenous Europeans and the...

We're still an EU country for the moment with free movement. Germany is our largest trading partner. It's going to affect us if Islamist mobs are being whipped up.

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/uk-envoy-gulen-may-be-behind-failed-coup-attempt.aspx?pageID=238&nID=102258&NewsCatID=510 Britain has been mostly silent in response to the post coup measures, unlike other EU countries and the US who've been quite critical. This could be an attempt by Boris...

I don't think renewables are an effective means of generating energy, although I prefer them to Russian and Qatari gas. What we need. in addition to nuclear power, is to start fracking and also look at reopening the coal mines once we're out of the EU.

The key divide for the referendum here last month was between the small towns who voted to leave and the big cities who supported remain. It's about nationalism versus cosmopolitanism.

We should nationalise the nuclear power industry. We can pay for it using the money we currently spend on wind farm and solar subsidies.

When has he ever been happy?

Theresa May thankfully is no David Cameron. She won't be a pushover. With Clinton, Merkel, May and Le Pen, it would seem women are taking over.

This won't help her with the current leadership but I believe she was introduced to her husband by Benazir Bhutto while they were classmates.

Scandinavian countries, which are in Russia's reach, are still spending next to nothing. Latvia and Lithuania also haven't hit the target. The only countries which spend 2 percent are the US, Britain, Greece, Poland and Estonia.
