An odd response to a post that actually begins with the words 'it's clearly not all that matters', but hey ho. Additionally, I wasn't describing your position as combative, and agree that the status quo should be challenged; I was describing *you* as being combative, at least right now.
It's clearly not all that matters - just observing a curious use of the saying 'too little, too late' in reference to a campaign that won an election by quite a lot, and right on time. Do try not to be so needlessly combative.
I mean, Mamdani *did* win, so…
Some of the spending the SDR recommended _was_ on welfare; repairing the woeful standard of accommodation and subsistence experienced by in-service personnel, that had slid over the last decades. A good and important use of the money, too.
Why is he curing Epstein?
Not only is he right-wing, but he constantly puts me in mind of an anaemic velociraptor.
If only there were any historical examples of left wing factionalism and infighting on which to call on these occasions.
I think we're generally agreeing that the RN is not in a fantastic state at the moment (although the new vessels coming online over the coming years are supposed to bridge some of the gaps discussed), but regardless, I would counsel against reliance on Mark Felton's videos for an accurate picture...
Agamemnon is still in pre-sea trial testing. Kent is in refit. As I say, I think he's actually being optimistic here.
The number of submarines the RN has, the number of frigates, the number of frigates currently in operational readiness, the number of OPVs...
Sadly, in this case, Mark is *optimistically* wrong, and the true numbers are worse than he stated.
He *is* extremely ill-informed, but please don't use Mark Felton to back this point up - his videos only make people even *more* ill-informed...
Underage people cannot legally give consent. This is why it is called statutory rape.
How many citizens were killed by police in each country between 2010-2019:
Canada: 305
France: 233
Germany: 100
Australia: 53
United Kingdom: 22
United States: 15,008
Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior
And the people who make tumbrils.
Neither of them eventually brought them in, for excellent reasons.
It would also be an incentive to create policies to raise the average wealth of the population.
The first wave, yes. The second wave elicited a UN Security Council resolution to demand troop withdrawal.
Some of the diagrams were 👌
“I will give you a list.”
Will you? Because your current record on issuing lists is less than stellar, and if you’re suddenly in the business of handing them out, that’s not the one we have in mind.
This new Devo music video sucks.
OH MY GOD IT’S SAINT PETER WITH THE STEEL CHAIR
Look at this group of legends.
Some of these are objectively correct, and yet others make me to be angry. Truly we are complex beings.
What?! They’re the only thing stopping the Scots from marching South!
Well, that, fear of the Sun and £8 pints.
As I understand it, the brother of the cheating Major on Millionaire is married to Captain Tom's daughter.
I thought it was well established that Muggeridge and Stockwood both turned up too late to the screening to see that bit, as they were enjoying a particularly good lunch...
I don’t think anyone has ever made any allegations about Pratchett beyond saying he was an extremely nice man…
Yet that might be the single greatest joke ever committed to the screen.
You’d hope (after you’d hoped that it wouldn’t happen at all) that if the UK had launched the invasion that led to said protracted major war, they’d have built enough kit in advance and been realistic about its lasting more than three days.
