Wait, why? Bleach is a common way to kill plants in the short term without any long term lingering effects in the soil since it decomposes into salt and water. With enough drainage, the salt seeps out and plants can grow again. I'd say it's a pretty pragmatic solution to ensuring that someone doesn't grow anything again in the short term.

As long as it's the UK flag, and not the English flag, I'll give them a pass. Stay clear from anyone in an England flag, drunk or sober, football or naught.

I actually find this cute. Like we're all out camping and someone wants to make a brew. Adds an element of magic to making a simple tea.

Date trees line the boulevards of many Mediterranean countries, and there is no issue with cleanup or rot.

My mum has a Tivo-like box that allows her to record things and catch up with them later. She still watches all of her series live, so she can gossip with her friends about it the next day. The most useful feature of that setup is that she can pause the show if someone calls her or she needs the toilet, but she wont miss a show that was scheduled for that day

Neville Chamberlain originally did try appeasement with Hitler, yes, but he did declare war when peace talks broke down. He massively scaled up the armed forces before war broke as a signaled deterrent to Hitler.

Once it became entirely clear that the enemy could not be reasoned with, he stood down, having exhausted all the power he had to stop further escalation.

Churchill, in contrast, was an escalator. He took the armed forces that Chamberlain built up, made a lot of speeches about grit and sacrifice, and thankfully his bluff paid off when the US got involved in the war.

Perhaps Churchill what the country needed at the time, but so pig-headed was he that he wanted to keep the war going long after support from home had dried out.

I feel that once the young are out of the watchful judgemental eye of the old (i.e. they pass on), things will change drastically

Eh, young muslims drink in excess far more than the previous generation. They just pretend like they don't.
