You know America, I'm glad we don't have a PM who is a drunken racist like Churchill was, but I do wish you had a Franklin D Roosevelt rather than a misogynistic, racist, man child as President.

We had Spanish Fly on draught in the mess. We've always been more sociable in the RAF

Better we no longer have a misogynistic, drunken racist as PM.
Boring has it's merits.In defence of Kier Starmer, he's not exactly dealing with Franklin D Roosevelt either.

America didn't enter the European war, they entered because Germany declared war on them, not the other way round.
Germany only declared war on America because America declared war on Japan.

I have it on good authority, my daughter-in-laws father Naz, from Bradford, who heard it from his friend Imran from Longsight, that 4403 Muslim wives have complained to their Iman at the mosque, that their husbands made them vote Green when they really wanted to vote Reform.

You are certainly right there. There is no upside whatsoever.

I probably think that that's the one thing we are not very capable of doing, especially after the two strikes this morning.

A 2 hour gap from the PMs speech and the strike on Akrotiri is an extremely quick piece of organisation. If it was planned and executed as a result of the speech then it must have come from Lebanon. Atm the I don't think the source has been revealed.

Hegseths press hence was possibly the most frightening and definitely the most aggressively anti European I have ever heard from an American.
Its time we realised that Trumps America is not our ally and act accordingly.

Old men sending the young to war have always used vainglory to justify their sins. The old lie : Dulce at decorum est, pro patrol mori.

Maybe cowardice is a Trump family trait.

I have it on good authority that 4403 Muslim wives have complained that Thatcher they were in the voting booth their husband stopped them from voting for their party of choice, Reform and made them vote Green

The most serious flaw in "decapitate the regime" argument is that you will be left with a seriously effective armed force driven by their faith.
Basically you will be left facing a better armed, better led and better trained insurgency, fuelled by faith and a sense of injustice. A bit like Isis?

No, no, no - you’re not alienating Muslim voters, Shabana.

You’re alienating progressive voters.

Ya know, the ones who put you into office? Your actual voting base?

It looks like lessons will not be learned after all.

The handle that he has his hand on operates the safety bar. If you follow the bar leading from it, it prevents the sled from dropping and it is locked in place.

If he is pushing 365 kg (16 x20kg plates + 45 kg sled) he would have videoed it and he.wouldn't be using those legs.
