@Paul_Heron_ @AaronBastani He's right, unfortunately. I think now we can all agree that Churchill was a bit of a cunt. But we needed a cunt to defeat an even bigger cunt.

@AaronBastani He’s basically saying you have to fight evil with evil. Pretty cynical.

This is a bizarre, bewildering thing to say.

@WowCoolTh4nks @straceX Used a few of these back in the day. Also receipts used to contain full card numbers. Good times.

@straceX In the 90s there were credit card generators you could use to bypass adult site verification. Good times.

As a developer, have you ever wondered: You type a 16‑digit card number and the form instantly says “Invalid card number”. There are billions of possible numbers. How the hell is that check that fast?

@petroleumpilled @Gk7egk @badboy_mickee @Rainmaker1973 UK did this too. Pretty common across all of Europe I suspect.

@Gk7egk @badboy_mickee @Rainmaker1973 The Germans didn’t do that, you’re thinking of the soviets.

The Antašava church bell, buried during World War II for protection, was unearthed in 2024 in Lithuania after being discovered by a local farmer in his field.

@C_Midd99 @LBC Its a racket. Plain and simple. From the public to vulture lawyers.

@LBC That seems to be par fir the course in the UK. Planners gotta plan 🤪

Stonehenge tunnel officially scrapped - after more than £179,000,000 spent on plan lbc.co.uk/article/stoneh…

@penombresombre @realhansard There absolutely is to secure our shipping interests.

@LEGS223 @realhansard We have no strategic reason to deploy an aircraft carrier The only way it could possibly make any sense is if deploying one makes trump happier

They aren’t going anywhere. He’s deranged.

@TheNathanNS @GBPolitcs @Telegraph Percentage is a bogus metric. In absolute numbers it's outrageous. The pensioners of today never saw such a needy class of working age people. There's no incentive to work in this country anymore and that needs fixing before we make life difficult for pensioners.

@GBPolitcs @Telegraph Casual reminder that pensioners make up 49% of all welfare spending at £163 BILLION, disability is 11% If you're gonna get mad at welfare claimants, make sure it's the right lot 👍

🚨NEW: The UK has spent over £4bn on disability benefits for stress, anxiety and depression over the last financial year [@telegraph]

@Kristine_Froeba @UKinUSA @AliBunkallSKY A strongly worded letter!

@UKinUSA @AliBunkallSKY Contribute what, you’ve no navy?

NEW: The UK alongside France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan expresses readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz 👇 gov.uk/government/new…

@SkyNews @joncraig Ooh a joint statement.

BREAKING: A joint statement has been released by the UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan condemning "recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf". Sky's @JonCraig reports ⬇️ Read more 🔗 trib.al/Dj53j28 📺 Sky 501 and Virgin 602

@ChrisRolfe16 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 No but maybe we're about to find out.

@LEGS223 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 Do you have any idea how strong our navy is right now?

Diesel £1.71 per litre this morning. Labour has wrecked the UK

@JCheruvathoor @AaronBastani Sure, if this has been America's intention all along. Then we are losing.

True, but you’re referring to collateral damage from the war which frankly has impacted the whole globe - not just Europe. Countries like India and Pakistan are looking at a GDP decline of upto 1.5 %. However, can any of these countries be seen as losing given that they’re not directly participating in the war?

This is literally the dumbest war in human history. No hyperbole.

@ChrisRolfe16 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 I mean this is what the navy is for.

@LEGS223 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 I’ll come back to you when British servicemen are dying all to protect a shipping lane that has been closed because Trump decided he needs to puff his chest out

@ChrisRolfe16 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 As I've said I don't want us to get involved but vast swathes of industry are reliant on the straight being open. So we might have to be, at least to secure the shipping. That's not offensive or beyond the realms of reasonable action.

@LEGS223 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 It’s not our war, why are you so keen on us to get involved?

@JCheruvathoor @AaronBastani It's a collapse of a global supply chain, petrochemicals, fertilisers, plastics, etc. There's over 1000 ships trapped in the Persian gulf, thousands more cannot enter. They're all European owned or relied upon by European industry to some extent.

@LEGS223 @AaronBastani How’s Europe losing?

@hippyygoat Bombing their offensive capabilities is defending our interests, considering our ships are stranded in the Persian gulf right now at risk of being targeted.

Dress it how you like, Keir Starmer.. B-52 bombers leaving the UK for Iran are not on a defensive mission. Their purpose is to blow the crap out of Iran.

@ChrisRolfe16 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 Yeh. Iran are still sending their own ships through the straight (and a select few other countries ships), we tell them if they attack our ships then we'll attack theirs.

@LEGS223 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 Still think sending the Navy is a good idea?

@GCUK101 @ChrisRolfe16 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 The US isn't bothered more like. Because it doesn't need it.

@LEGS223 @ChrisRolfe16 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 America aren't escorting their own ships and they have the biggest Navy in the world and have deemed it too dangerous so why would the UK risk escorting ships?

@ChrisRolfe16 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 You mean fuel duty? It's not just about that though, although that would help the public. But vast swathes of industry are reliant on the straight for other petrochemicals, fertiliser, plastics, etc.

@LEGS223 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 I reckon the government should probably just relax some tariffs on fuel before sending forces to die in Trumps war

@neilwatson69 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 Yeh mate I'm a coward for not travelling to Iran and starting a fight with the nearest Iranian 😂

@LEGS223 @MarkKav15119614 @Goosey30111568 So ya a coward
