One video seems to show the aircraft still had its landing gear down but its flaps up. The flaps should be in operation as they provide extra lift at take off and are retracted later once speed has increased and there is sufficient lift from the wings. Landing gear is usually up seconds after take off as it adds drag.

Whether so or not will no doubt come out in the investigation.

Interesting, I wasn’t aware that in US elections postal votes could count if received after the election day. Surely there is a risk of fraud? Certainly postal votes are not accepted after the close of the polls in the UK.

A good number of candidates standing for election from different parties hopefully will generate some real political debate. Such can only be good for both Democracy and real representation of the concerns of the electorate.

Murder is murder by any other name. The only life you have a right to take is your own, not any other.

In any other circumstance this guy would be deemed a serial killer.

For a medical professional to do this is wholly unethical.

Guru Mick, any chance the 2 state solution had was murdered by the intransigence of the Palestinian political leadership long ago (even if we ignore the attempted obliteration and possible genocide of 1948), that boat has sailed. A peace settlement would be nice, but hard to achieve when one side keeps launching missiles from hiding in crowded civilian areas targeting civilian targets in your country.

Lets not forget the danger of such an unhinged regime that believes whatever it does is the will of Allah and they will receive their reward in heaven, a mass form of the suicide bomber mentality, being armed with nuclear weapons.

Israel didn’t launch an indiscriminate attack on civilians unlike Iran’s proxies, but primarily a precisely targeted strike on their nuclear production facilities.

Mayhap the strike would have been unnecessary if the nuclear agreement previously in place had still been in effect but the orange buffoon unilaterally destroyed that.

I swear there is a Village somewhere missing it’s idiot!

I think Japan taking up Cricket would be fantastic. The ethos of the game and the need to work as a team both in and out (batting and fielding for those not fully au fait with the game) fit quite well with aspects of Japanese culture.

Not sure the audience will be able to cope with a 5 day international match or even a 3 day county match just yet. Something more akin to a village cricket match perhapse? Long summer days, the sound of leather on willow, deckchair and a G&T or a couple of pints to keep you “watered” while watching, ahh heaven!

Dont be scared to try new things and play around with it for the best results. It may surprise you, pleasantly

Thought that was the basis of all cooking!

Government farming policies and the distribution system appears to be the underlying problem.

Congratulations to the parents, now leave them alone.

Royalty is all about blood lines, and status should not be lost if you marry outside royalty. In Britain Princess Margaret is still Princess Margaret, even though she married a commoner, and has been made the (non-executive) Master of Trinity House, the lighthouse authority, to replace the late Duke of Edinburgh

Right in every detail bar one, you mean Princess Anne, though Princess Margaret did marry a commoner and retained her title and position, as Mr Kipling said she is dead.

"The East is East and the West is West and never the twain shall meet." There's some truth is this

Mr. Kipling summarized the situation succinctly

“Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,

Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;

But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,

When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth”

Quote the whole thing, don’t cherry pick misleading snippets to try and prove an agenda. If you bother to read the whole it contradicts the snippet completely.

Yes Japan is part of what is misleadingly referred to as “the west” as it generally conforms to and upholds the underlying principles espoused by modern democratic, liberal, civilised countries following the rule of law.

Cantering = centring.

It was not a tragedy, it was an act of war, the tragedy was Japan choosing to launch a war of invasion against its neighbours. Had they not learned from and followed the Imperial German model in the army and sought to be a continental land power rather than embracing their maritime position and cantering on trade as they did post war, the tragedy would never have occurred and nor would the bombing.

If fruit was an everyday reasonably priced product instead of an overpriced luxury, the health benefits would be enormous and farmers wouldn’t have this problem.

2,3,4,7 and 10 probably wouldn’t go down too well in Britain either. While 6, insisting on splitting the bill could be seen as aggressive, a polite”are you sure” to show you don’t wish to be a free loader followed by a gracious acceptance. 5 while we apologise for a pastime, even to inanimate objects we tend not to apologise in advance unless the objection is quite strong in which case the apology becomes part of the famous British passive aggressive politeness, not quite the same thing.

English is a fairly low context language.

For what is still a basic staple for people in Japan, allowing the supply to get so out of kilter with demand is criminal negligence at best. Given I can buy rice in the UK where it isn’t staple therefor demand and volumes are lower for the equivalent of £5.90 for 5kg. Highlights the failure of the government to protect its own people.

The solution is not to flog off comparatively minuscule amounts of rice at a price near double what I pay, nor to flood the market with imported rice undermining food security but the efficient, commercially viable farming in Japan. Subsidising Inefficient small farms run by ageing farmers is utterly insane. Buy them out and incentivise large scale, mechanised and commercially competitive rice farming.

shocking idea I agree, moving in in to the advanced farming practices of the 19th century will be a strain.

I wonder why every Muslim Arab country flatly refuses to take in Palestinian refugees?

Europe's suffering badly due to this war

Europe would suffer far worse if genocide and imperialist Muscovite aggression is allowed to be rewarded instead of being rightly punished.

Personally was not impressed by the performance or the song. Thought it was a screaming noise without merit. Having said that most of the songs were abysmal and instantly forgettable pap, so standard for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Waste of money chasing after the nonexistent to pander to a few deluded fantasists.

Why should Japan facilitate fraudulent use of international driving licences? Understand why they wish to close this loophole that undermines their reputation.

From what posters on this site have said in the past it sounds as though driving in Japan is not as simple as some countries and has its own peculiarities, So it makes sense that someone who is going to drive in Japan should be proven competent to do so. Which is after all what this conversion is supposed to be for.

Poo tin is just playing trump and the incompetents in his government as he has all along. He still lives in the illusion of his maximalist goals, just as he has since launching his delusional 3 day invasion.

Progressively Ukraine I has dismantled his air defences, leaving the airspace open and now they are destroying both the warmaking capabilities and the major economic underpinning with the degrading of the refining and storage capacity thus bankrupting the country as it’s a rape and sell resources economy.

Muscovia has already lost, just poo tin can’t admit it (and his useful idiots’.

Carney is written 11 times in this story. Pierre Poilievre once. Oh yeah, the MSM is still a bunch of brainwashing propagandists working for the globalists

I think you need a new pair of reading glasses, I counted Poilievre mentioned 9 times. But facts and accuracy wouldn’t fit with your agenda of misinformation.

Well that’s nice.

Oops!

Someone is going to get their wrists slapped.

The claim their state is directly descended from the ancient Rus, is a lie, Catherine the Great carried out the greatest identity theft in human history rebranding the Muscovite empire as “Russia” to give it a history and cultural identity it never had.

The culture and psychology of the “russian” people have never thrown off the mental shackles of serfdom, a mindset beneficial to their rulers and thus enforced by the russian empire/soviet empire/russian federation, a direct cultural link to medieval barbarism and Ivan the Terrible, greatly facilitating this re-medievalising of society.

Only by the de-colonisation of the last remaining imperial domain can the world be rid of this warmongering presence.

A boy was stabbed to death, a man murdered by his government in retribution. Well done, now you have two rotting corpses to no useful purpose.

Look to the causes and stop them would be more useful. In this case easily remedied as others have said, stop the anti-Japan hate propaganda. Grow up and look forward not backward. Probably too much to ask of the CCP.

Take no lectures from the modern day 21 century genodical despot dictatorship government of China

Even a stoped clock is right twice a day, in this instance China by some miracle is right.

It is beyond rational comprehension why they knowingly offend a needed ally on a regular basis. China we can disregard as they would find something to whine about. There are alternatives where the ordinary fallen can be honoured without glorifying convicted war criminals. Chidorigafuchi National Cemetery comes to mind.

From what I have seen, most Japanese rice farms are far too small to be viable save at high prices. From a food security point of view as well as protecting consumers there needs to be a large scale consolidation in to economically viable farms and investment in mechanisation and boosting productivity.

Agree that hairstyle is appalling. 18 and his whole life to look forward to, except being in the Imperial family he has no life to look forward to.
