@IbbetsonMichael @Facts4euOrg @HMSPWLS @DefenceHQ “Appear” is appropriate. As seen during periods of conflict, recruitment rises fast.
As for “meaningful contribution”; time has moved on and whilst boot on the ground are important, much of old world soldiering has given way to tech. We are not short in that area.

Rule Britannia – Don’t be fooled, the UK can still impress.
Despite all the negative publicity, the Royal Navy and RAF are still forces to be reckoned with.

@VeteranIrish I see the banner at the bottom of the image says, “Longest relationship: one year.” Ladies, this refers to his short-lived romance with his right hand… which eventually grew tired of his bollo and walked out.

@alexhibbert Oh no! Did you get any value from your short time out there?

Facts will emerge, but it seems highly likely to me that there was pre-existing friction between this team and the authorities.
My experience is that Northern Canadian police etc use a LOT of common sense applying/turning a blind eye to some more, and some less, daft rules.

@JudeL30577512 @petemorristwit Sounds like the kind of Christmas experience you can sell to people wanting a Dickensian vibe to festivities.

@petemorristwit You and me both, no carpets, still replacing beams, fireplaces still belching soot. We have a semi complete kitchen and a semi working hob/oven and a table and chairs.
We will be having Christmas by hook or by crook.

Christmas, this year just ain't happening for us, as an older couple. We just had our bathroom ripped out and replaced. The house is full of dust and will be for months. Couldn't put the X-Mas tree up because of that. Not sending any cards. No family close by, and I can't drive far now. We're not bothered about buying gifts for each other. We already have everything we need. But we will have a nice X-Mas dinner with all the usual and a couple of drinks and a snooze in the afternoon. That's as exciting as it gets.
Seeing the adverts on TV of multiracial families all sat round a table having a great time, is pure fantasy. It's not real life. Not even for younger folk.

@Jamie_IF 5 line customer review of a piece of gear I tested (in-depth; every bit and bolt) now outranks my article. Problem is, the review is on the manufacturer’s site and is wildly inaccurate - reviewer states they been using the product for 20+ years; was launched 2 years ago.

I'm seeing soo many "best X" product SERPs that are just absolute garbage now
Mostly it's Google ranking the manufacturers top for loads of these keywords
So instead of seeing product comparisons, it's just the reader being shilled that manufacturer's product
Which is an objectively worse experience for users, because the manufacturers are objectively NOT objective. 🤦♂️
An email software company should not rank #1 for "best email software", and a laptop manufacturer should not be able to rank itself for "best laptops", etc.
But since manufacturers and e-comm are so so favored over content sites now, Google is just giving top positions to the most biased sources, just to push affiliates down?
I'm sorry, but my article with 5+ real product reviews, with in-depth comparisons over which is best for each segment and use case, and an intro that immediately answers the "what is the best X" for every segment
... is a better article than a manufacturer that has 700 words of unhelpful intro into what X is, how to choose X, and then eventually just shills you their product
But for some of these keywords it's just impossible to rank
..and it's not like a "I'll try improve my content" thing, just a "I'm a sub-DR80 content site, so there's no surmounting this" thing. ALL my competitors are down too - nobody is up!
Which is obviously frustrating
Never going to give up, and we're still doing decent traffic and cash. Not trying to complain.
But I can see why everyone's going parasite, because Google doesn't want to rank good content from smaller brands -- it'd rather rank biased producers of products than actual third-party reviewers of those products lol
