Jamie's Opinions

Well I am first and foremost a traditional Conservative of the Thatcherite Breed, I am an active member of the Conservative Future and very vocal on issues I feel strongly about. I am in favour of the pound and broadly euroskeptic. I am completely against the current format of the welfare state, and fed up with reading about single parents, scraping nigh on 30k a year off the money we the taxpayers pay in and wanting more! I am in favour of Immigration to the UK as I see it is realistically needed, but I believe in limits, a points based system similar to australia would be a good idea. I believe in putting money back into our military which has suffered poorer and poorer funding under consecutive Labour governments. Criminals should serve full terms and not be let out when deemed "safe" by wishy washy liberal parole boards. People in society need to learn to respect eachother and behave as resonsible individuals if they wish to be treated such. Antisocial teenagers should be subject to corporal punishment. Severe criminals such as Child Molesters and Rapists should not be allowed out of prison, ever. I believe noone should be judged or persecuted on base of Colour, creed and sexuality but I believe people should not flaunt sexuality as it should be a deeply personal thing. I am broadly secularist in my attitude to government, religion should not involve itself in politics.

It is an annual wildflower, native to temperate grasslands in much of Europe, and north and central Western Asia. The yellow flowers are mostly visited by bumblebees.

Featured Article of the Day

The cherry-throated tanager (Nemosia rourei) is a critically endangered bird native to the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. Since its description in 1870, there had been no confirmed sightings for more than 100 years, and it was feared that the species was extinct. It was rediscovered in 1998 in the state of Espírito Santo. By the end of 2023, 20 individuals were known and the total population was estimated to be less than 50 birds. The main threat to its survival is the large-scale destruction of the old-growth rainforest that it requires, and in 2018 it was estimated that the species was restricted to a total area of just 31 km² (12 sq mi). It has a striking gray, black and white plumage, with a distinctive red throat patch. The yellow or dark amber eyes contrast with a black face mask. Its call is clear and far-carrying. A social species, it lives in flocks of up to eight birds. The birds breed once a year, building a cup nest of beard lichen and spider web; nests contain two or three eggs. (Full article...)
