@history99917180 I might be paying tax, but look where it gets me. 😉

Marry a horse girl they said. It’ll be fun they said. Here I am sat in a horse yard staring at a saddle which cost more than a second hand car. I should have retired as a superintendent. How’s your Friday going?

@EricTrump The apple didn’t fall far from the tree did it sunshine?

🤣🤣 One of the great responses to a reporter in history! JAPANESE REPORTER: Why didn't you tell Japan before the Iran war? PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Why didn't you tell ME about PEARL HARBOR?!" "You believe in surprise much more-so than US!"

@paulmoors1 I bet it’s not.

@Lexxity This may be the final thing, surely?

Whenever you’re ready America it’s past time to get this mad man out of office.

@USAmbUK @USAinUK @Nigel_Farage @POTUS @realDonaldTrump Are you quite well?

I met with MP @Nigel_Farage at the Embassy to hear his perspectives on the current status of the U.S.-UK relationship. Nigel has great respect for @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump and the United States. He is particularly fond of the Trump administration’s unwavering commitment to peace through strength. I look forward to working with Nigel to advance the security and prosperity of our countries.

@history99917180 Hahaha

@Lexxity Oh bless. Look on the bright side. That tax you’re working hard to pay is contributing to my pension.

Morning all. How goes it? All good here. Except for a cold nights sleep! Anyway, it’s a nice day outside. Sorry if you’re stuck in the office. I’m not. I’ll do you a deal. Give me 1000 likes for this tweet or I’ll post a picture of my knees.

Another day, another diplomatic faux pas (and that’s putting it mildly).

Got the wife evacuated, so have time to drink a tea and think about the Strait of Hormuz. I've sailed through the it a few times years ago and done antipiracy operations in the Strait of Malacca. Maps can be deceiving. The best way to think about the Strait of Hormuz is a four lane highway, with two lanes per direction for the largest ships like crude carriers, cargo vessels, and warships in the center of the channel where it is deepest and free of obstacles. Then on the outside of those lanes, you have medium sized ships, going Jebel Ali to other regional ports like Sohar, since a lot of international cargo goes direct to Jebel Ali then is cross loaded across the region. On the outside of those lanes, along both coasts, are dhow fishing boats and all manner of local, smaller craft. Maritime trade crisscrossing this region goes back hundreds of years. The Portugese wrote how disappointing it was to find a tight network of trade already established in the region when they arrived in the 15th century. It is hard to describe how crowded these waters are. You sometimes wonder if you could walk to Iran across the decks of ships and not get your feet wet. The amount of traffic makes distinguishing between normal traffic and a threat incredibly difficult. Is that dhow fishing, transiting between coasts, laying mines, gathering intelligence, or a tender for surface drones? Hard to discern while sailing ducks in a row escorting a lumbering tanker or cargo ship. Operation Prosperity Guardian in the Red Sea proved to be a Houthi victory when a land power with no navy to speak of fought the most powerful navy on earth to an agreement. The Hormuz problem is harder now the Iranians have proved they have the will to fight, no matter how much pain is leveled at them from afar. The shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz go around the Musandam penninsula. This turn exposes ships to 270 degree of fire control in layered systems from Qeshm, the surrounding high ground, to further inland, with surface drones now added to the mix. Iran doesn't need to mine the entire strait. Iran just needs to turn that main shipping lanes around Musandam into a kill box and divert approved ships past Qeshm, out of the main shipping lanes like a watery weigh station. It has started doing this. The U.S. has created a hard problem for itself. NATO understandably wants nothing to do with this. If the most powerful navy in the world can't solve this, what difference does European navies make. With the watery weigh station past Qeshm, Iran isn't closing the strait to global commerce. It is simply doing what the U.S. does with the dollar, exerting power over the chokepoint it controls. Understandably the U.S. doesn't like this, so why can't the U.S. just send warships to escort ships through? Well, when you escort a ship through a strait, you tend to stay ducks in a row. So if warships are sent to escort tankers, they are now just another target in the strait. Even if the warships could maneuver through local traffic to screen ships, lets go back to the 270 degree turn around the penninsula. The warships would be receiving layered waves of fire likely worse than they faced off with in the Red Sea against the Houthis from essentially three directions while having the longer route to run to protect the tankers around the peninsula. As the Hormuz Crisis drags on, anything less than breaking Iran's control of the strait will be seen as a loss for the U.S., much like the Battle of the Red Sea was against the Houthis.

@ifellonithonest I was very pro choice dignity in dying having lived with two very poorly grandparents, Parkinson’s and vascular dementia, but seeing how Canada are using MAID has full changed my mind.

This is an outright lie designed to play to people’s deepest fears in a despicable manipulative manner. I have witnessed 2 parents and a very close friend die from cancer. None of them died in agony. My father lasted 2 years beyond his terminal diagnosis 2/

I find the false choice presented by those ghouls at Dignity in Dying particularly vile. They present the choice to, often very vulnerable people, as being either dying in unimaginable agony or the joy of a merciful release. 1/

The first of my peers to die died of meningitis the week we were waiting for our GCSE results. She’d been in town that afternoon. She was much more organised than me, so knew where she was heading: A Levels, then a science degree. She liked the idea of moving to Manchester. She was dead before midnight. 15 yrs later, my Mum bumped into her Mum in town. Her Mum stared at my (then) 2 yr old daughter and said: “Time has flown, I can’t believe they’re parents themselves now. I still haven’t moved her toothbrush out of the bathroom” Parental grief lasts forever. Vaccinate your kids.

Only a few days left to tell the government what you think about them yet again lowering the emission for wood burners by 4/5. They are asking for sweeping powers to be able to enter your home, fine you up to £2000 a time and accumulate fines for 'repeat offenders'. Please do take your time (5 mins) to give them your view. I just did!! consult.defra.gov.uk/domestic-burni…

@dannyctkemp @MrHarryCole Dear Donald.

Trump takes another swipe at UK's Starmer: "You know, the prime minister of the UK yesterday told me, 'I'm meeting with my team to make a determination.' I said 'you don't need to meet with the team. You're the Prime Minister. You can make your own. Why do you have to meet with your team to find out whether or not you send some mine sweepers?'"

@sigourneybeaver He hasn’t a clue. Lives in London. Never leaves urban areas and hasn’t the foggiest what the real world is like! Counties such as Devon and Cornwall have huge amounts of their communities on oil.

Our village isn't that unusual in being without gas. Many here have oil or lpg. No one living within the village is "wealthy" and very few scattered around the countryside are either. Rural poverty is a real thing 🤷

@EdinburghRugby Very sad news. Thoughts and compassion to all involved and the family and friends of the supporter.

🏰📰Club Statement from Managing Director Douglas Struth.

@Keir_Starmer and whilst you’re about it from the orange toddler to take his air bases with him. We don’t want them here and please cancel the royal tour.

Confucius says: “If you call your allies cowards in February, don’t expect help in March you stupid cunt”.

Good. Not our circus.

@jcorrigangolf You’re wrong. We were out at a schools 7’a tournament yesterday. The number of young lads wearing pollock haircuts and headbands was crazy! The youngsters are identifying with him and running with it and also enjoying the game. It’s great to see.

NOT ONE of these #Manosphere saddos has ever gone down the pub and had a pint. None of them have ever successfully flipped a beer mat and caught it. None of them have ever got the fruity to pay-out This alone disqualifies them from talking about masculinity. Fucking soft lads…
