I believe this is the answer to the Drone problem.

@pascalbtr Jobsworths would put a block on it. Would love to see them here but the bureaucracy would put a block on them

@dave987a But the MoD may have technical exemptions that citizens do not...😰

Revue des prétendants connus, pour ceux qui ont pu être présents, pour le projet 🇬🇧 de LMV (Light Mobility Vehicle) qui doit remplacer les différentes flottes de Land Rover d'ici 2030🤔 joint-forces.com/land-rovers/89…

@pascalbtr Just can’t see the authorities letting it in. If the did, I would probably sell my soul for one

@dave987a But, why not? 🤔

@LoftusSteve Even cutting NI won’t help, the boat has left.

I wrote about this 9 months ago. Labour's NI rise was the worst policy at the worst time. thecritic.co.uk/britain-is-not…

@pinstripedline @MtarfaL With over 500 data centers alone in the UK now, the RAF would be a bit overwhelmed today

A 1950s TOP SECRET map showing the critical areas of the UK that needed to be defended from both conventional and nuclear air attack by Fighter Command and ground based AA defences.

@77thUnit7 @afneil To a degree, but it’s funny how they can find rises for benefits and over inflation wage rises for government employees. But not for defence ect

@dave987a @afneil I think it’s more a case of demographics catching up with economic models that were dreamt up when population growth was thought to be exponential ad infinitum

I am very wary of reports that the UK is now within range of Iranian ballistic missiles. But if the reports are true, let’s be in no doubt: the UK has no defences against such missiles. No dedicated national ballistic missile defence (BMD) system for intercepting intermediate- or intercontinental-range threats aimed at the homeland. No ground-based interceptors (like US THAAD or Patriot systems in Europe) deployed in Britain for this purpose. In theory our T-45 warships could provide some cover. But most are currently undeployable or not in UK waters. Leaving us defenceless from ballistic missile attack. Another massive military failure of the political class of all recent governments.

Nice to see you jumping on the bandwagon, now Bernie. People have been saying this for years now, that this would happen one way or the other. Grangemouth Refinery, Prax Lindsey Oil Refinery (2025) Murco Milford Haven (2015) Petroplus Coryton (2012) North Tees Refinery (2011) North Tees Refinery (2011) where was you hen this was happening? I don’t recall you saying anything?

Fabulous news! … Britain’s last remaining refineries are closing because it’s cheaper to refine abroad where they don’t pay Mad Ed’s carbon taxes. See? Lower emissions here, less tax revenue here, higher prices here! Perfect strategy 🤡

Just imagine if someone was able to hack the Government Emergency Alerts system, now. With the message Incoming Iranian missiles…..

@77thUnit7 @afneil Both parties are more interested in giving out benefits as a bribe to the electorate than the countries interest

@dave987a @afneil You would have hoped the constant Kremlin sabre rattling and its breaches of the inf treaty might have lit a few fires before now. But no

@77thUnit7 @afneil Russia is a bit more, stable than Iran. But then he’s highlighting a problem our political leaders have walked away from

@afneil @dave987a has everyone forgotten about Irans ally russia that has many more and threatens to use them on a near daily basis or is it now that Iran has shown it has a couple of temu ones everyone is shitting the bed

So much for the strategic reserves. Every IEA member should, according to the rules some where between 60 and 90 days

@TNLUK Another roll over, why am I not surprised and how many draws since someone actually won the jackpot

@dave987a Of course not. This is a pre-planned special event, even if prior draws are won, the prize amount will be boosted to the advertised amount. ^Jas

I see @TNLUK is running adds for a must win £15m jackpot on the 28th So have you decided that there will be no winners this coming Saturday and Wednesday?

@stuarthammond14 The transport industry uses it a lot, this will definitely have a impact on prices and if things can get from a to b

@dave987a Only my dad's defender uses it and last one he had it needed topping up once before lease ended.

Time to buy, stockpile adblue, if your car, van and truck uses it.

@stuarthammond14 That’s probably gone stale by now, 2 year shelf life at the most

@dave987a I still have my back up adblue from covid!

@Neoncaffeine @ZarinaZabrisky Scum

@ZarinaZabrisky they sent an fpv after a cat and killed it recently. was someone i knows cat.

⛔️ Warning: disturbing. Yet, needs to be reported. Russian drone pilots are training on anything that moves, including dogs. A Russian drone dropped explosives on these dogs. The pilot sees the targets. I get multiple reports on such practices.

@stuarthammond14 Personally I believe it’s a mixture of things. People underestimating the work involved failing to allow for inflation on materials to name a few

@dave987a What causes the massive overruns? I can understand a bit but thats a huge jump.

The threshold of "We should have EVs for the environment" to "We should have EVs for national security and resilience" is approaching .

@stuarthammond14 Again costs just run away, take the line from Paddington to Bristol, and S Wales. It started off around £500m when it finished it cost £2bn This is why the train operates now buy bi and tri mode trains we as a nation just can’t afford it lner.co.uk/news/first-tri…

@dave987a With trains i was more thinking overhead and the like, that way they are at least fuel agnostic.
