@robprogressive YAY!
It's been a couple of months since your "friend" tried to "withdraw 20k from his high street bank".
Isn't it about time you recycled your "my Dad went to A&E" story as well?

My friend tried to withdraw £20k from his high street bank & their response was shocking
For 30 years he’s has been a loyal customer of this major bank
He called to withdraw the money & they said no, you have to come into the branch
He went into the branch & asked asked to withdraw the £20k and they asked 'what it’s for'?
He said ’none of your business, it’s my money’
They said ‘unless you can tell us exactly what the money is for, you cannot withdraw it'
This should shock & terrify you, because your own money isn’t even yours anymore

Size comparison of Vietnam and Iran. We only had troops in half of Vietnam and peak strength was 580K.

Senator Graham says he has never heard Trump so angry. Somewhere in Europe, nobody is sleeping badly about this.
Let’s be precise about what’s actually happening here.
Europe has spent thirty years trying to contain Iran through diplomacy. The JCPOA was a European initiative. Trump tore it up in 2018. Iran’s nuclear programme accelerated directly as a result. Europe warned this would happen. Nobody listened. Now Graham is calling European diplomacy “a miserable failure” while standing next to the man who blew up the only agreement that was working.
As for the Strait of Hormuz. Europe imports oil through it, yes. So does China. So does India. So does Japan. If Graham wants a coalition, he has a planet to call. What he appears to want, however, is specifically European military assets deployed in support of a war Europe was not consulted on, did not request and does not want.
That is not an alliance. That’s a shit show.
Graham says this makes him “second guess the value of these alliances.” Europe has been second guessing that value since Trump. Welcome to the conversation, Senator. You are about eight years late.

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.

@TerrySparrow4 Used to get the usual « European » drivers turning up at U.K. warehouses wearing what I used to call « safety sandals and socks ». Usually meant a trip to the nearest workwear shop for a pair of steelies!

@TerrySparrow4 That’s very gracious of you Terry. It was really 50/50. You could have won it as much as us to be fair.

@pacteaug It was! But a deserved victory for the French team at the end! 🇫🇷 No excuses from an Englishman here in the Drôme! The better team won on the night!
