@CarlB4081@joni_askola Trading with the EU was more expensive because their biggest cash cow was leaving and they spat their dummy out. If they really wanted us, they would drop or reduce the tariffs. There are so many more benefits to being out of the EU!
@crook717486@joni_askola Trading with the EU is now more expensive because of added customs red tape.
We could trade with who ever we wanted anyway.
You've had 10 years, it's gone as far as it can. Time for another ref.
@joni_askola Brexit was not a mistake and it s time to drive it home and end ECHR and other EU laws. Then we can still trade with EU as we so do already and trade with whoever we want.
The 23-minute D-Day landing in Saving Private Ryan (1998) cost $12 million, about a fifth of the film’s budget. Filmed over a month with 1,500 actors and 400 crew, it remains one of the most visceral and powerful scenes in film history.
Footage released earlier today by the Israel Defense Force allegedly showing a drone strike against a “Basij Checkpoint” on a busy street in the Iranian capital of Tehran.
@DI313_ The UK has 45 destroyers but only 2 are operational today. What a joke
You call that a navy? Good thing the US has your back, well we usef to maybe we are reconsidering that "special relationship " today methinks.
‼️🇬🇧 HMS Dragon: The Sky and Sea Killer, Hunts Missiles Before They Hit.
The UK just sent HMS Dragon straight into the tension zone near Iran. This Type 45 destroyer isn’t just a ship, it’s a floating missile-eating machine.
• Sea Viper missiles ready to shred drones, jets, and cruise missiles
• Can track dozens of targets at once and fire in seconds
• SAMPSON radar can track multiple threats from around 400 km away
• Guns, CIWS & helicopters ready for anything in the air or on the sea
• Acts as a shield for the Royal Navy and allies
HMS Dragon is now in the Eastern Mediterranean. One wrong move, one missile, and it won’t make it past this beast.
@quadrantalerror@TBrit90 With the SSN's it been like this for years, we've rarely had more than one at sea and sometimes none.
It was because the firm who did the maintenance in dock went bust
