Why do military people need privilege when they go to places? I get that serving your country is good but I don’t think you’re better than everyone else.

Military personnel are trained highly skilled and in the top 1 percent of the people in world Unlike civilian jobs and college, they have to get 97 percent pass mark in there exams , I got 100 percent. Military personnel are a darn site better then most people, As my drill sergeant told us all as we left the train station , to board the buses to go to camp our first day Right you lot , I am your mummy now , and I am telling you now , 99 percent of you will fail , when I finished my trade training out of 100 recruits , there was 7 off us left , Then after I got to my permanent unit , I was told , for every 1000 application, only one gets in . Meaning if the whole of the Uk kingdom applied to join the armed forces , only 75000 would get in.

Is social media turning us into digital narcissists?

People have made the world like it is , not government not tools , darn read your bible and look at Moses when he went up mountain to get the 10 commandments. People are to blame for the stat of the world not government not corporations People having kids and life styles they can’t afford, not the tools they use We managed very well in the 1960’s and 1970’s with out , tv , phone , mobile and internet This was when people where actually social and actually helped each other , no welfare state , was churches and cub scouts , and schools doing fund raisers to help the poor, like the woman yesterday donated 100 eggs to my food bank , so I could help those in need. Too many people this world hiding behind there portable devices trying to destroy other people lives now . People need grow up and man up and take responsibility for there own lives and actions People are too quick to blame others instead themselves The only person who messed my life up was me , I controlled it

Does the EU need us more than we need them?

Remember history and the British empire , the world needs Britain more then we need them. Think back to the 2nd world war , when German uboats where sinking our shipping supplies fleets , almost starving us to death But guess what? We survived and won the war , we can well live with out Europe as a trading partner. Look at the British shops now , all promoting British home grown food . Remember when things where made in England , they lasted 100 years longer , Great great gran daughters are still using there gran mothers blenders after decades Time people stop believing the trash in the media and the lies on line Problem with people now is . They believe the lies , cause they can’t handle the truth and want to live in a reality world , rather then the real world . Instead of sorting there problems , they post it facebook. People are just sheep now and just follow , instead of actually thinking for themselves. That’s why they have so many supervisors and managers in

For starters the British empire was 71 countries including your USA The British commonwealth is 53 countries So let’s start with breakfast English full breakfast Eggs , fried/poached/ scrambled/boiled Bacon , real bacon not the American turkey crap . Baked beans Mushroon Tomato grilled Fried bread Toast Hash browns Black pudding , pigs blood Tea Cereal Yoghurt Lunch Ploughman’s salad Pork pie Cornish pastie Fish & chips must be cod , not forgetting salt and vinegar Dinner Roast pork, must be served with apple sauce , Yorkshire pudding (basically a pancake mix made in to a very tasty dish ) mash potato , roast potatoe, peas , carrots Sunday roast of roast beef served with Yorkshire pudding and horseradish sauce Not forgetting gravy All must be washed down with either bitter or other beer St

If you had the power to delete an entire social media platform. Which would it be and why?

We had a new store open a few months ago , under my house , and the trolls immediately hit Facebook talking badly about the store , result is it has done much damage to the store I am a new start up and local social media tried to destroy me , they failed , the only thing they did was got my YouTube channel 16000 views , THANKS TROLLS AWESOME job. When they could not shut me down , they tried having my arrested by police, when that failed they contacted my landlord and tried to get me evicted , and that only ended up with me ripping my housing officers head off , not physically , verbally . after I tour into him , the company changed my housing officer and now send there financial officer instead , countries problems are not being caused by government, but by the trolls on social media .

If you had the power to delete an entire social media platform. Which would it be and why? Raymond Duggan

I would close the whole of social media down and use the world web as internet only , as it was , it was like a fax line used to send data only , which companies accounting departments then changed in to readable documents, As my local police tell me , social media is a complete nightmare for them I am pretty sure Security services would say exactly the same Social media is nothing but dreamers living in a fantasy world , people wanting to be what they can’t be in real life . Many criminal gangs have been caught by social media Yes let companies use the web so people can order there daily needs , just take away the social part , the word social needs removing from media , as there is nothing social about it . I use to say my brother when they stories came on about cyber bullying , simple why don’t they just turn there computers off and ignore them , then it all moved to mobile phone, the world suddenly exploded on to the mobile phone network , companies introduced fr

If you live in the U.K., are you hoarding items such as medication and food in anticipation of Brexit?

Nope cause I don’t listen to the media lies , I actually live in the real world One thing there is not going to be shortage of is food or medicine I live above a shopping centre and above a pharmacy and I see the hgv delivering medicines daily and the other hgv,s delivering to my local supermarket , 4 times a day , and one my frozen food shops , drives its bread down from Scotland daily , the media have no idea what there talking about Since after World War Two , Britain moved to compo rations and frozen food Fresh British grown food is frozen at the farms and then shipped to distribution point around the country , A lot of British grown peas carrots potatoes broad beans kidney beans baked beans are all tIned , oh tomatoes lettuce cucumber are all home grown , we have storage facilities in the UK that have enough tinned food to last 10 years there is not going to be a shortage of food in the UK it is pure scaremongering by the media whose only interest is sell

Why is America more successful than the UK?

England 75 million people USA at least 750 million people So they should be ten times richer Average time to drive england 4 hours Average time to drive coast-to-coast America a week , driving as a professional driver with driving limits Edit Americans are not richer England not one person I know lost there house USA everyone I know have lost there houses I have lived and worked in USA many years , now back in england

Why do British people live in cramped houses? After all, they are considered to be a very advanced nation.

we do not live in cramped houses, i lived in Georgia USA 2 years, and my American house, would fit in just my living room area, English houses are far from cramped. my house as a kid ! living room, dinning room pantry breakfast room kitchen 4 bedrooms bathroom outside toilet 3 coal bunkers 2 bird Avery , with 300 budgies in a pond with a water feature and resident toad lol and that was the smallest house on the street, others had 5 bedroom , plus garage in fact some off the houses now have swimming pool in basements, our loft went full size of house, and had a model railway , running all around it.

How would you defend your home in the U.K. against a home invasion, without a firearms license?

I live in London UK and I was a victim of a home invasion a few years ago. Firstly, I'd say us Brits never use the term ‘home invasion’- it’s a burglary. We owned a 2 bedroom Victorian terraced house in an up and coming area called Wood Green at the time, which we considered pretty safe. In the middle of the night I was woken by my wife who said she thought she could hear someone downstairs, to put her mind at ease I got up and went to investigate, as I got to the top of the landing I saw man with armfuls of my stuff walking out, still half asleep (and half naked) I shouted “Oi!”. As soon as he saw me he ran, I followed him up the street until he jumped into a van and drove off. I immediately called the police, who turned up within 3mins and begin hunting the area for the robbers. They got away.* We claimed on our house insurance for £2000 worth of stolen items, which were replaced for new. Now if we were allowed to arm ourselves in this country I honestly don't know h

My son says that if you're in the desert it is more important to have water than food, I said food is more important than water: who is right and why?

A popular “rule” for survival is the rule of 3s. You can survive 3 minutes without air 3 hours without shelter (In especially harsh conditions) 3 days without water 3 weeks without food You should tackle your needs in that order. If you are under water, buried under snow, or in a toxic atmosphere, you find a way to breathe. Then, if you’re in a blizzard, hurricane or sandstorm, you find a way to shelter from the elements. After deciding whether you need immediate shelter and finding it if you do, you think about fresh water. In a moderate climate, you have about 3 days. In a desert, you may have only 1–2. Finally, after you’ve taken care of those issues, you think about food. Your son is wise. You should listen to him.

Why should I never visit Britain?

Because your expectations in  breakfast  will get warped for the rest of your life. Ever since visiting the UK, I have been entirely unable to accept a breakfast that does not contain bacon, eggs, and sausages. Nothing compares to  Full English Breakfast . You will lose your ability to shrug off discourteous  behaviour , because the people in Britain tend to be so polite in professional contexts. It is the only place in the world where a supermarket cashier will refer to you as “ love .” The world just isn’t entirely the same after that. you will never  laugh  at your home country’s comedians again, because in Britain, everybody is so much funnier than even the best comedians any other country has to offer. I was laughing my head off the first year on my job in England. They are absolutely hysterical there. you will eventually come around to realising that  deep fried things and alcohol  are things everyone needs lots of, every day. It will make perfect sense. I left Britain a yea
