I recall reading a piece from a former Royal Navy nuclear submarine commander, who dispelled the belief that nuclear weapons should be used as a deterrent.

If for example a country was targeted by a nuclear weapon, and they retaliated the environment left in the aftermath would be largely uninhabitable anyway.

Infer - Deduce or conclude (something) from evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements.

So no, it's not a guess.

It's what we all spend our lives doing because most things are not said literally.

Let me know if you need further help with this.

infer
verb [ T ]
• formal
uk
/ɪnˈfɜːr/ us
/-ˈfɝː/
-rr-

to form an opinion or guess that something is true because of the information that you have

Definitely a guess. Let me know if you need more help with this.

Brilliant idea. Conservatives are waffling lies all over the media this morning as usual. They really are getting desperate now. They are in a pact with the Devil (Farage) and they are still not sure of winning.

Another five years with a combination of Johnson, Farage and Brexit will bring this country to its knees.

The amusing thing is the so called working class of the Midlands and the North are like Turkeys voting for Xmas. Talk about getting brainwashed. You cannot put a price on how stupid people are if they vote Tory again.

Where are you getting that definition from?

It's not a guess. A guess would imply there's no evidence or reasoning.

If I call you an idiot it's reasonable to infer from that, that I don't like you.

Understand?

Jesus. The things people are on here.

If you want proof privitization wrecks them get a virgin train

Can't believe it took 12 pages before the topic switched from politics to arguing over the use of the English language, that's got to be a record surely?

Regardless of whether there is a Labour or Tory government, an income tax increase is a foregone conclusion.

I wonder if Robbing_Hoody was as vocal about deaths and supportive of Labour when / after a Labour government led us into an illegal war with Iraq, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
20 years ago.

And plenty of Labour supporters and MP’s (INCLUDING Jeremy Corbyn) were vehemently against the Iraq War.

Now he’s getting hammered for saying he wouldn’t press the Nuclear Button and murder millions of innocent people in a flash.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you think about the reason someone might have to press that button ( the fundamental purpose of them being a deterrent ), it would be to protect the millions of his citizens he was trusted to protect.

Its an impossible question to answer if you are going to frame it how you have, but in the reality of a dire situation where pressing it is an real option, stating he'd never press it totally defeats the object of having a deterrent.

He seems like a leader who is incapable of taking any tough decisions. I think he should go on the Apprentice, be made project manager for a task and see how he does. Then we can judge him properly!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Having nuclear weapons is a total waste of money. They have only ever been used by the USA, and they were quite happy to use them to murder thousands of women and children, says all you need to know about that country. They could have ended the war with the allies without the use of using the nuclear option.

If another one is ever used, it will be the end of civilisation as we know it. That only nine countries out of 200 have the nuclear option in the world tells you everything about who has it. The usual war mongering axis.

This. It would likely lead to a nuclear winter and it's just another scam. Australia and Germany manage just fine without the ability to cause billions of deaths.

There is this thing called a dictionary. It gives you a full definition of every word in the English language. What I have done is copy and paste from that. Maybe you should try looking one up? It might help you in these misunderstandings.

I have inferred from that, that you secretly have a crush on me and that is why you are being mean. It is only a guess of course as you have in no way stated that. Unfortunately, I'm married though; so whilst I'm flattered I would prefer it if you would cool off your interest.

I get people don't like Corbyn but at least have the ball to say;

You want schools to be underfunded and open part time
You want there to be too few Police
You want nurses to be underpaid
You want chidlren to be hungry
You want people dying on the streets
You want people failed on their health assessments on purpose
You want your own citizens to be deported after 50 years here
You want Grenfell
You want poor public services

You'd still be a cvnt but at least there would be a grudging respect for actually being honest
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Ridiculous debate.

Apparently it's 'guesswork' and 'assumption' to say that this post implies that if you don't vote Corbyn, you want all of the things listed.

My Mrs is a nurse, a great one that used to love her job but it's got to the point she is breaking down when she gets home, or before she leaves for work in a morning because she literally feels scared of the consequences of not being able to do her job properly.

I myself have been visiting hospital around 3 or 4 times a week for the last 7 weeks to see my Nan who was as fit as a fiddle up to the day she went in to hospital (as fit and able as you can be for an 84 year old).

Unfortunately she died last week, but the time spent there was a real eye opener to see the current state of the NHS and just how shamefully under funded it has got, the wards are at break point. It is near on impossible for the nurses and HCA's to give the level of care the patients need and it's horrible to see.

I will continue to read up on all parties policies and whichever I see in the best interests of the NHS will get my vote.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Missed this Mike. It's a scandal that's gone largely unreported by..... Tory donors.

I worked in acute medical admissions. Two RGN's per 30 patients on 15 minute obs. Do the maths!

Tamwolf (U17286)

Yep, that's what I did.

There's more than one dictionary.

Just noticed that your definition says 'or guess'.

So, it's not a guess.

Glad you were able to confirm it.

Yeah it's awful and the majority of people probably hear the 'NHS underfunded' thrown about but have no idea unless you spend a bit of time there just what that actually means.

I like how you take this out of the context of the discussion; which was people saying they will vote Tory instead of for Corbyn. That was a post on the Tory's record and what they would be voting for.

Perhaps I should try taking part of one of your posts out of context:
