A French soldier from the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle has blown the whistle: the ship is falling apart, overrun by rats and fleas, and the crew is battling a TYPHUS outbreak. While Macron can’t decide whether to involve in the Middle East conflict or not. What would you expect from Macron.

Band of Brothers: I know I lot of you have served. How accurate is this? I mean this single clip covers so many aspects of military service. Valor, cowardice, frustration at being in command and enlistment. And the legends that spring from them. But that's the point, does this sort of thing actually happen or is this just one of those things that still gets talked about decades later because of how rare it all really is? If you have first hand experience with situations like this I'd love to hear it.

You need to know that in the year of our Lord 2026 these are still used to train pilots to calculate fuel consumption, wind drift, and ground speed.

@kezia_noble They keep banging on about energy security and acknowledge that fossil fuels will still be needed but won’t commit to securing the North Sea and therefore our security .imo it’s a strategic stealth tax that can be exploited in times of war ect

They say: “It’s cheaper to import oil than to drill.” Short term, maybe. Long term? Risky. The North Sea means more jobs, and gives the United Kingdom control, revenue, and protection from shocks 🇬🇧 Cheap isn’t always smart.

The A-10 is a museum piece, a giant gun the pilot rides like a horse. The gun itself, the GAU-8 Avenger, has seven barrels of rotating depleted uranium, longer than a VW Beetle and twice as heavy. It fires 3,900 rounds a minute with a sound like God ripping a bedsheet. This monstrosity is propelled by two 3,000-hp megajets and vestigial wings. When it fires long enough, it stops mid-air. It’s that musky, tobacco-farm, high-T energy—enough chest hair to suffocate a lion. An absolute unit. A plane that instills terror in everything stupid enough to be standing in front of it. It’s a ridiculous contraption that America just can’t quit.

As a very young man I managed to see Lenny Henry do a show on Blackpool pier as part of Three of a Kind. They were and he was funny believe it or not, he made jokes about white people, black people and brown people, all were pretty inoffensive but they were funny. Somewhere down the line he cracked it, imo became lazy and saw that victimhood paid more and for doing less work, he shat on all of us who supported and clapped him on his way up. His latest rant is as boring as he is these days, that funny young man is now just a bitter old fecker.🙁

Of all the terrible things I have ever read, I think this is the saddest. I waited until now, hoping with all my heart she would change her mind. This little girl was gang raped and tried to kill herself, which left her paralysed. So she chose death by state euthanasia instead. The State didn’t stop her because her organs had been earmarked. It is the most pitiful and disgraceful story of our age. That her rapists live whilst she chose to die because of them. May God take her soul and give her peace. Because the human race totally let her down.

Yesterday's Britain, A Better Britain.
It's 1985 and I've just started work. My first month's salary was £160. I worked shifts in a freight office in Dover. A few months later I passed my driving test and bought a cheap car for a few hundred pounds. I put some money to one side and went on holiday for a week. I'd occasionally buy games for my ZX Spectrum and go to the pub with my mates, to have a good night with just £20. Then, one day, I left my job and got another one. It paid more and now I worked regular office hours. I upgraded my car and went on holiday again. Exciting times. Carefree times. And I've only got 2 'O' Levels - grade D! I'm glad to have been part of that era, for it was the best. I wouldn't want to be young today, and looking for a job. And what we had then is gone for good.

I learned .@GretaThunberg called on Chinese people to give up traditional chopsticks to protect trees. The Chinese then asked her to go back to the school where she might discover that traditional chopsticks are made of bamboo, which is a grass! The Chinese also asked her and her friends to stop using toilet paper to wipe their butts, because it is made from trees.

Higgy@higgyboson·
Me and Mrs Higgy occasionally like to go out for a cooked breakfast (usually the local golf club or (believe it or not) bike shop), a lunchtime snack, (garden centre, cafe in a park etc) or an evening meal at various local pubs/restaurants. We like to support local businesses. But all these things have become increasingly expensive over the past couple of years. Paying £11 for a tea, coffee and single slice of cake is ridiculous. A sausage sandwich now costs £7.50. A burger from a van is £5.50. £5.50 for a 30p burger in a 20p bread roll is nuts. A very simple one course evening meal with a drink each costs at least £45.00. So we've decided to stop doing it. We live in a great part of the country so we'll still go out, but with a picnic and a flask of Earl Grey. I'm self employed and Mrs Higgy is a retired NHS Staff Nurse. We have no mortgage or rent to pay so we should be out and about frequenting these places on a regular basis but the truth is - We REALLY begrudge paying the prices. We can't be alone. I have no idea how normal families on average incomes can afford to eat out at the moment with EVERYTHING going up in price. I can see the almost total collapse of the hospitality sector in the not too distant future. I'll be as guilty as all the millions of others scaling back on their patronage of pubs and restaurants etc but I've been pushed too far and I'm not playing this game any more.

Slave reparations! I’m all in! I’ve decided to personally gift £1 million Sterling to every single person my family ever enslaved. Please form an orderly queue and bring: • Ironclad documents proving my family personally enslaved you (bonus points if they include my great-great-grandpa’s signature and a Polaroid). • Your birth certificate proving you were born before Britain abolished slavery on 1 August 1834. • Proof you’re still alive (the gift can only be claimed in person, no ghosts, no estates, no “my ancestor told me so”). Oh, and while you’re at it, maybe swing by the local cemetery with a shovel. I’m sure those poor souls buried since the 1800s would appreciate being dug up for their cheque. They’ve waited long enough, right? Look, if we’re doing “reparations” for historical slavery, let’s do it properly: only to the actual victims. Not their great-great-great-grandchildren who were born free in the 20th or 21st century, sipping oat milk lattes while tweeting about “trauma.” This isn’t justice, it’s a cosmic-level grift. It’s like demanding the Roman Empire pay for the roads they built because some distant ancestor got conquered by Caesar. Or billing modern Italians for every Gaul who got turned into a slave 2,000 years ago. Newsflash: No living person in Britain today was a slave under British law, and no living person in Britain today owned slaves under British law. The people who suffered are dead. The people who profited are dead. Their descendants, Black, White, Asian, mixed, whatever had zero say in it. Chasing “reparations” from random taxpayers (including the descendants of abolitionists, coal miners, and people who arrived after 1834) isn’t healing historical wounds. It’s creating new ones while opening the most hilarious Pandora’s box in human history: • Should Ireland demand reparations from Britain for the Potato Famine? • Should Britain demand reparations from Denmark for the Viking slave raids? • Should Italians bill Mongols for the sack of Baghdad? • Should every African nation start invoicing each other for the centuries of tribal warfare and slave-trading that predated (and supplied) the transatlantic trade? Where does the grievance chain end? 1066? The Bronze Age? Lucy the Australopithecus getting stiffed on her cave rent? Slavery was a universal human horror, practised by every civilisation from the Egyptians to the Aztecs to the Arabs to the Africans themselves (who sold millions into the trade). Britain didn’t invent it. Britain ended it, at massive cost, with the Royal Navy spending decades hunting slave ships while other empires kept right on going. Demanding cash from people who never owned slaves, to give to people who were never slaves, isn’t “reparations.” It’s retroactive time-travel cosplay with other people’s money. It’s the ultimate participation trophy for historical victimhood: “My ancestor suffered, therefore I deserve a payout… even though I live in a free society with more opportunity than 99.9% of humans who ever lived.” If you want actual justice, how about this radical idea: Stop obsessing over who owes whom from 200 years ago, and start judging people by what they do today. Work hard. Build. Create. Don’t inherit grievances like their family heirlooms. The desire for slavery reparations isn’t righteous anger. It’s lazy, entitled, historically illiterate greed dressed up as moral superiority, demanding a lottery win for a suffering you never endured, from people who never caused it. My £1 million offer stands. Just bring the paperwork. And a time machine. #Reparations #Slavery Oh, and fcuk you Lenny Henry.

Streeting says Reform is ‘fuelling a tide of racism’ referencing the arson attacks in Golders Green. I suggest the hate protests against Jews that are allowed every weekend is the cause of racism & division. Labour busy fretting over ‘Islamophobia’ rather than antisemitism.
