Lovely place

I ordered online a book from Cambridge University Press on Sunday and they posted it out on the following Monday. Remarkably for an academic book I could still afford food after paying for the book.😉

Oh I thought it was a SAM or less likely Triple-A

Ah, thanks

I wonder if the aircrew have declined to participate in a MAGA media sh*t show. It’s also been suggested the rescue effort wasn’t as flawless as it appeared.

I have complained to the BBC about this. Essentially I accused them of a taking an editorial decision to shill for Farage et al. They denied it of course but they would. See also the BBC’s priapic coverage of the Mandelson fiasco.

Uncomfortable facts sit behind an up-beat announcement on finalised delivery of the UK’s first batch of F-35s - Warsight While the UK has announced it has completed delivery of its first batch of 48 F-35Bs, uncomfortable facts sit behind that announcement.
