russia blatantly killing civilians to create a mass exodus into europe, to create economic woe and devision

gnr - just the rig layout! The fishing boats in the painting are trawlers!

The most spectacular sailing boats for me have to be the J Class racers - still incredible although some getting on for 100 years old. I follow the regatta at the Voiles de St Tropez each year when I can.

Alp...Sounds like the Sloop John B

So they reckon we could have a fifth of the work force out of action, how come?

China has had nowhere near that much.

It seems a communist country can deal with these things better as everything does not have to be primarily an economic decision.

Cheers Alp, classy looking boat.

Erdogan in order to expand and occupy large part (rich in oil) of Syria blackmailing Europe and NATO using immigrants to greate haos in Europe.It's appear Brussels and NATO are very weak and worthless organisations.

the British havent lost their mojo..it is purely the media that create that impression. Since they lost the Referendum and the election there will be no end to the nonsense coming from the media...but the total disconnect with the public is cause for hope.

mr.elbee

Soon realised this guy wasn't the brightest button in the box when I came across him at the time of the Royal Mail IPO.

Of course, I was right on that one as well.

[minerve 2] 03/3/2020 12:01

And probably for a very good reason.

DUH!

Maybe dirty Euro notes carry the virus? From Italy. WHO indicates there is unhygienic money causing spread.

"Millions Of Refugees Moving Toward EU" - Erdogan Vows 'Doors' Will Not Be Shut

"Civil war and pestilence is coming to Europe because the political class have not protected their citizens"




He's repeatedly urged NATO, the EU, and Washington to back Turkey's military intervention against the ongoing Syrian-Russian offensive in Idlib. He's also charged Europe with ignoring pleas for assistance in dealing with over 3 million Syrian refugees said to be on Turkish territory.

"Why the hell does he ecpect Europe to aid his conquest of Syria whilst he simultaneously contributes to the fall of Europe into civil war??

Bizarre.

Turkey needs to be booted out of Nato. Perhaps that's what Erdogan wants. Fine.

Deadbeat Dad (Again) doing what is right for the nation

Johnson appeared to pass on a question about reports that his government had chosen not to retain access to the European Union’s pandemic warning system.

The UK’s department of health wanted to retain membership of the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS) as part of the EU-UK future relationship deal – but Johnson’s office said no, the Daily Telegraph had reported.

max - I have not found anything really similar on the net.

Here is a schooner rig - just imagine though it is only one mast.

Talking about Drifters and fishing fleets here is a question for the nautical experts.

I bought a large old painting of a harbour scene, probably 19th century. The key is the fleet of fishing boats - very unusual design that I can not identify.

The boats are single masked schooner rigged. i.e. a large sail plus a second sail directly above on the same mast.
Each boat has two very long poles almost the height of the mast. These no doubt are lowered each side with the nets attached to trawl.

The only idea that I have is that they are North American shrimp fishing boats although I have not found anything to be sure. It is well painted and signed by 'Marcy' or 'Marly' - again no ideas from my research.

At first glance the style is Dutch but I have never heard of these fishing boats in the North Sea or the Mediterranean. Any ideas will be gratefully received.

Unfortunately financial stimulus doesn't kill viruses. Addressing the symptom whilst not fully addressing the cause.
