    John Major helped greatly with NI but Maastricht should never have been signed without consent from the public. Recently he is applauded by hard line remain voters and reviled by hard-core leavers. For me, now a hypocrite over proroguing Parliament and his 'tyranny' speech was ridiculous.

    I'm not sure which I would want back. But Major would cancel Brexit tomorrow, as would Blair, which would cause some serious problems for democracy, public outrage (remembering many remain voters see overriding a vote as worse) and Farage getting a lot of support.

    I think perhaps some people on DS are just very happy about Trump going. I expect Trump supporters said the same when Obama left and Clinton failed to get in.

    But look how close it was. Biden didn't have the expected landslide. They aren't all Trump supporters so they will likely back the next republican candidate. If Biden makes mistakes that support to switch again and it's quite tight.

    Being in opposition is easy. You just sit there booing. Then you get in and it's all yours to lose.

    Not sure about Biden. In his recent comments about NI, Scotland and the UK he has only shown himself to be another ignorant American politician. I wonder about his relationship with the EU. They aren't daft and Biden claims to be in favour of the EU but it was loaded with comments about us spying on then for the US. Obama said the same. But so is Merkel & co and France want of NATO.

    Although, the singular book contains multiple revelations

    I think as far as Biden is concerned, only time will tell at this stage as to whether his presidency is a success, or a failure.

    And what I said about Major was partly in jest, he, like pretty much all leaders, had his faults, but he strangely seems to be one of the least reviled leaders of the past 50 years or so, and the 5-year period between 1992 and 1997 is often looked back on (especially by much of my particular generation) generally as a 'golden' era, even though I beg to differ in some instances. And yes, I know he was already PM from late 1990 up until the 1992 GE, before anybody pipes up.

    The 90s and early 2000s was probably a more innocent and carefree period in general, which seemed to end after about 2002 or so, but perhaps that could have been down to technological developments like the Internet becoming more advanced, the genesis of social media, and increased awareness of many hard-hitting issues, all mostly from around then onwards.

    Yes, we are in the last part of the last days as prophesied by Jesus Christ and apostle Paul - they are written in the Bible.

    The thought has crossed my mind. A pastor talked about the mark of the beast 20 years ago and it stuck with me. On a similar note I'm Muslim and believe the book of revelation to be true, but throughout history has been mistranslated or purposely manipulated. I believe Abraham (PBUH), Adam (PBUH), Noah (PBUH), David (PBUH), Solomon (PBUH), Jesus (PBUH) etc. are prophets of Allah (God) and Islam to be a continuation. I believe Mohammad (PBUH) is the final prophet, and the Quran to be the unaltered word of God.

    Back on topic. The only question is there have been years of war, scandal, abuse, sever weather etc. People may have thought it was the end times back then. Of course, there's no time scale to tell how long these catastrophic problems will last so we could be living in the build up to the end times.

    Another case of karma striking again today, one of the IRA nutjobs responsible for the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings was nicked in Belfast!!

    Finally some 'Justice 4 The 21'!!

    I reckon the Planet is stuffed and over-populated and just maybe this is a way of wiping out several million.Plus Mother Earth has the shit’s with the human race. Just my effed up opinion.

    Thing is - you're right - and if things didn't happen to wipe a few million of us out, we would be in deepest poo-poo.

    We are living longer than we should be thanks to advances in medical science - which is good for individuals, families, and doctors who are, after all, trained to save lives, but it's epically bad for the planet.

    As hard as disasters and pandemics etc are there has to be a balance or the planet will go tits up.

    It's on it's way as it is...

    With this in mind, I have a DNR wish. I don't want to be kept alive when my body has had enough. I don't want my heart to be shocked back into action under those circumstances. I want to go and make some room for somebody else.
