It just feels "different". And lots more "heavy" aircraft overhead here(not Fairford) than normal. Now been told some F35's being deployed here next week. They do visit occasionally for a few days though, so hopefully nothing odd about them coming.

Yup. I keep an eye on mitary flight radar as am close to a Naval Air Station. It certainly seems very busy near you.

We will be blamed no matter what we do/don't do. Frightening. Bloody trump.

Very loud aircraft overhead just now - local aviation group saying 3 ( maybe 4) US B1 bombers heading for Fairford. They are ramping up.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkeyβ€”but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprusβ€”but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.

Some Indian politicians claim the Iranian warship sunk by the US submarine was on its way home from an international joint exercise β€” where the rules mandated it show up unarmed.

And that the US knew that, because it pulled out of participating at the last minute.

Our heating oil has more than doubled in price and now we can't even get a quote.
According to neighbours, now at Β£1.30/litre. We paid Β£295 for 500 litres in December. It's doubled. If we could even get any. F*****g tRump.

Powerful commentary by @bearlypolitics.co.uk. Actually, in a curious way, made me proud to be British!
