What, what?

Read back a bit.  Not funny.

Unfortunately socialism works on caring about those less fortunate.. But as we see on this forum its looked upon with derision that we should sympathise with the McCanns whom we've never met. That's why socialism/communism can't work.. Because whether you have a capitalist or socialist society a lot of people care only about themselves.. Not a lot of difference

If only anyone understood what you are talking about.

Whatever happened to Madeleine McCann I have sympathy for her parents because they have undoubtedly suffered.

Yep this mobile will want some trickery to charge later  even my lamp will need it.

My daughter has a solar powered charger.

You wouldn't understand realism if it smacked you in the gob.  There is nothing even remotely funny about sexually abusing small children.

Personally, I think you only wish to shock for some abhorrent reason known only to you.

But if you have a real problem then my PM is always open for you.

Well, I found the very obviously morally abhorrent idea of financially exploiting a pre-existing illegal child sex trade for capitalist & government benefit did happen to bring me a moments mirth, even if you didn't, but never mind.

No good stamping your feet about, have a cup of tea & a lie down for a bit, you'll be alright.

You’ve pretty much summed up where a lack of empathy will get you IMO.  I can’t work out if you admire what you have described or are critical of it tbh.

There isn't anything to choose.  It is all just the same.

Some of us are a bit stronger than others.  And God forbid, some of us are a bit brighter.   Although that is probably the worst to be.  No one likes a smart arse.

And our lives are so heavily dependant on electricity & gas theses days that there's no going back.

The oil runs out in the next hundred years, no one wants Nuclear, renewables are inefficient, what are we going to do?

I reckon we made a mistake ever climbing down from the trees & walking upright tbh.

Several in our road have invested in solar panels but I think they're rubbish. I'm building a compact tokamak in my shed and by bashing hydrogen atoms into each other in a super heated plasma I hope to be totally energy self sufficient within the next couple of weeks. Problem is if it goes tits up I could destroy the whole of the Black Country.... Its a tricky one

One thing I like about you davel is that you're not entirely humour neutral.

I did contemplate solar panels, I can probably do the roof with a storage battery for about ten to fifteen grand, but it wouldn't pay for itself for roughly ten to fifteen years & hoping I'll be long dead before then tbh.

If I dare mix a joke about child sex tourism, capitalist greed & economics again, I reckon Eleanor might see to it!

It's the reality underlying politics, economics and history which I'm describing. Whether I deplore it or admire it is immaterial, it's the truth.

I had more less the same life style a you did, although my time without my husband was always much longer than yours.  Two years away at sea was normal for me.

Meanwhile who the hell do you think you were with your privileges?  You wouldn't understand normal people anymore than I could have done.

What are you talking about? What privileges did I have? Who are these 'normal' people you refer to?

Where does this figure in The McCann case?

What a hoot.  I prefer to go with the vast amounts of Wood pertinent to Brittany.   There are so many trees that need to be managed, although they always have been.  For many a long year before this.

Probably not.

I think that might be my point.  You didn't even see it.
