Headline of linked article in the Daily Telegraph: "HMS Dragon returns to port after ‘technical issue’" Strapline: "Warship had taken three weeks to arrive in region following drone attack on RAF base in Cyprus"

The #RoyalNavy has 6 Type-45 destroyers, ½ of the originally-planned 12. Design+build cost £6.5 billion at 2009 prices. Running costs more billions.

As the #USA & #Israel started a war on #Iran, the UK had only one ship available, the #Type45 #HMSDragon, sent to […]

Im sure all this has nothing to do with corrupt oligarchial politicians stealing like the #UK is going to keep topping up the coffers.

In fifty years, they've blown through everything the #BritishEmpire built here, and YOU GUYS wanna blame the Desi?

The white man arrogance is Breathtaking at times

Britain trained a 5,000-man Jewish Brigade in 1944—giving Zionists combat experience they used in 1948. The same empire that restricted Jewish immigration built the officer corps for the army that would expel Palestinians. History has a dark sense of humor.

The #BattleOfKambula, part of the #AngloZuluWar, fought #ThisDayInHistory in 1879, sealed the #Zulu nation's fate. It also showed the brutality of the #BritishEmpire, which faced an army of 20,000 that quickly retreated. Soldiers killed the wounded & shot a thousand in the back.

It's a dirty secret - for all 'We hate the English' (with good reason), guess who built Empire, managed plantations, were in armies vs locals?

Welsh, Irish & Scots. Colonisation was a joint effort. That guilt is a […]

The #KumasiMutiny began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1901. It involved units of the #BritishEmpire's native troops in #Ghana taking up arms for about three weeks, largely because the crown had stopped paying them. The survivors were prosecuted though execution sentences were commuted.

This painting by Tom Freeman for the White House Historical Association shows the burning north and west facades of the White House when it was set aflame by the British soldiers on August 24, 1814 during the War of 1812. British soldiers can be seen in the foreground. It was commissioned during George W. Bush's presidency, but depicts events that occurred during James Madison's.

The White House ruins after the fire of August 24, 1814, depicted in a watercolor painting by George Munger, is now on display at the White House. Sadly, General Ross's men had failed to gather enough firewood to burn the walls.

The #BritishEmpire was a global murder and looting machine. 😡

But the last 18 days of Anerican violence lead me to cheer the Brits' Major-General #RobertRoss, from #Rostrevor, #County Down. 0n 24 August 1814, Ross led his troops to burn the #WhiteHouse in […]

In 1914, #JamesConnolly stated that as long as #Ireland held onto #Capitalism they would never be #Free from the #BritishEmpire. And I challenge anyone to prove to me that he was wrong?!?

#RoryStewart & war criminal #AlistairCampbell had a play-fight in #TheRestIsPolitics, blaming each other for the the UK's 1-ship navy comedy. The so-called "#RoyalNavy" has only ship to send to the #Mediterranean, the #destroyer #HMSDragon.

Saw fireworks going off over Clapham Common, "what could be celebrated today?"

GHANIAN INDEPENDANCE DAY!

I did guess it could be somebodies' independence from cruel British tyranny, there are so many nations we've abused. Bound to be one a week at least?

Death to the Empire!

The pressure became unbearable for Britain. By 1956, a decisive election gave Nkrumah's party a mandate. Negotiations began. The fate of millions hung on whether Britain would keep its promise of freedom. #BritishEmpire #GoldCoast

Shame on UK and Germany for defending Israel's genocide in Gaza.

This looks bad for the UK since they are continuing British Empire war crimes and Germany for not learning about the Holocaust.

The #CastleHillRebellion broke out #ThisDayInHistory in 1804, when transported Irish rebels in Australian prison camps rose up. The next day, whilst negotiating under a flag of truce, British troops opened fire. Who'd have guessed the #BritishEmpire would act so dishonourably? /s

Western politicians have blood in their hands. It is disgusting how horrible Western politicians are on human rights in the Global South.

Watch: Russian soldiers tell BBC they saw commanders order fellow troops' killing The men, who are on the run, told of the horrors they witnessed on the Russian side of the front lines in Ukraine.

The ghost of Stalin from WW2 lives on.

"Officers shoot own men on the spot as an example to others."

Still... a quicker death than the British soldiers in WW1 "shot at dawn by a firing squad of their own comrades", eh?
