Volcanic ash pollution and airplanes. Aero-engine airfilters.

Could James Dyson, who invented the centrifugal air filter for vacuum cleaners, come up with such an anti-ash filter for aero engines/turbojets?

Immigration

The case against some forms of immigration: - Britain is overcrowded, its resources overstretched, its culture in danger of being changed or lost, its moral and ethical standards confused. On the question of non-European mass immigration, Government and many British people supported an open door policy. They could not, or chose not, to understand that immigrants of alien cultures, carry opposing beliefs, religious values, moral codes, attitudes to justice, law and order, fair play, respect for other people, attitudes to marriage, to women, the bearing of children, to animals, dress, diet, and death. It is often not a question of single individuals, but of a large number of family members, relatives, friends and acquaintances to follow. It is to be deplored that so many people argue it is a question of origin or prejudice against skin colour, ignoring the fact that such persons bear different ingrained ethnic, religious and social values making integration difficult.
It is true there is world overpopulation, but only in poor, undeveloped countries, - in the Western world white populations are rapidly diminishing, becoming outnumbered by non-white immigration and reproduction.

Principles, Tyranny, Assassination, War.

A principle is by definition, right - a plan for the good of the people. It logically follows that those who disagree, are enemies of the good and welfare of the people. No longer men and women but fiendish personifications of evil. Killing men and women is wrong but killing fiends is a duty.
Men with strong religious and revolutionary faith, men with well-thought out plans for improving the lot of their fellows, whether in this world or the next, have been more systematically and cold-bloodedly cruel than any others. Thinking in terms of first principles entails acting with machine-guns and bombs. A government with a comprehensive plan is a government that uses torture.
Individuals must murder one another, Governments must assassinate its victims because the interests of the country, or its crusade in spreading its view of Democracy, Freedom or Faith demands it.

Oh, What A Glorious War

The aim of war is to kill people, to demolish property, to occupy the land of others, or to exploit their resources.
Weak countries containing resources (or carrying oil pipelines) are targetted for invasion, military occupation and control, their innocent inhabitants treated with contempt, hatred, brutality and torture.
Powerful countries are treated as friends and allies, their often corrupt leaders tolerated and supported.
The warriors are Government assassins, paid contract killers, with orders to murder those who disagree with the Government leader, or who decline to meet his ambitions of power.
Mothers bewail the death of their glorious soldier sons without counting the number of victims they themselves have killed. Many of those warriors, bearing the mark of Cain, not killed are maimed or injured for life and then forgotten.
Poor countries are turned to rubble, their means of life diminished or destroyed.
America and Israel have chosen as their world mission, that of perpetual war.
Victim countries learn how to retaliate in their own fashion.
The taxpayers of the aggressor countries are impoverished, their costly means of war turned into waste and scrap.
War is organized by psychopathic criminals and sold by professional liars (the news media and politicians.)
Thou Shalt Not Kill.

Iraq, Oil, Iran.

Iran announced late last month that its foreign currency reserves would henceforth be held in euros rather than dollars.

Bankers remember, of course, what happened to the last Middle East oil producer, Iraq, to sell its oil in euros rather than dollars. A few months after Saddam Hussein trumpeted his decision, the Americans and British invaded Iraq.

Attractive Britain

A family has been paid £189,694 of public money to live in one of Britain's most expensive areas, according to figures that reveal the biggest recipients of housing benefit. The family have received the sum from the taxpayer in order to live in a seven-bedroom house in Oxford that has been rented since January 2004. Oxford City Council, which paid the £189,694 sum, was unavailable for comment.
Figures released under the Freedom of Information Act show a family of seven in Camden, north London, have received £189,653 since August 2001 for a series of properties. They now live in a five-bedroomed house that costs £1,515 a week.
A claimant in Westminster has been paid £76,000 in 12 months while a family in Brent, north-west London, are paid £2,827 a week and have received £177,497 since they began claiming in 2004.
In total, the housing benefit system, which sees families paid by their local authority to cover all or part of their rent, costs £15 billion a year. More than 4.4m people receive housing benefit in Britain.
Last year it emerged a mother of seven, Afghan migrant Toorpakai Saindi, was receiving £170,000 a year in benefits to cover the cost of a seven-bedroomed rented home in west London. The local authority, Ealing Council, said the amount was high because of a rate set by the government.
Susie Squire, campaign manager at the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “These figures are staggering and show an alarming amount of taxpayers’ money is being haemorrhaged year after year. In many cases the rent is so high a property could have been purchased outright with just a few years’ rent.”
Several councils, including Mid Sussex, Renfrewshire, Walsall and Harrogate have paid totals of £50,000-£80,000, although many of these cases are for claimants who require adapted properties and 24-hour care.
The figures came as actors Juliet Stevenson and Simon Callow and director Ken Loach spoke out against cuts in support allowances for asylum seekers. Screenwriters, authors and actors, including Miriam Margoyles and Jason Issacs, are among the celebrities who have signed a letter of protest to the government from charity Refugee Action.
Refugee charities also condemned the move, calling the cuts "appalling" and calling for asylum seekers to be given the right to work. Telegraph.

Iraq, Afghanistan, MP's expenses, - the Paradox.

It is paradoxical that while claiming unjustified Parliamentary expenses for themselves, British Members of Parliament were voting for sending British soldiers to fight in foreign countries without proper equipment, having to buy their own safety gear.
