The British built the first true aircraft carrier (Argus). They built the first battleship (Dreadnought). They built the first useful torpedoes (Austria made some earlier, but they sucked). They built the first torpedo boats. They built the first destroyer (admittedly for sale to Spain). They built the first battle cruisers. They built the first torpedo plane. They created the first depth charges. They were the first navy to sink an enemy ship with an air-launched torpedo. They showed the Japanese how to attack Pearl Harbor by doing the same thing to Taranto in Italy. They invented radar (after which the USA ran with it).
All dust in the wind now I guess, like Carthage.

… and to think that in November of 1918, the Royal Navy had 61 battleships, 120 cruisers and 466 destroyers. Their peak. Then everything went downhill. Did they need numbers like that after the Great War? No. But to see it in this condition today is unconscionable.

@TheGhostSleepi1 expecting my constituency to not be white minority is not at all “getting quite racial” lol.
English
This is what those who are getting quite racial with their nationalism need to remember- there are plenty of minorities born & raised here who also want our country back.
Camus@newstart_2024
A guy in London looked straight into the camera and said what a lot of people are quietly thinking: “I was born here. I remember how it used to be — the energy was fantastic. Now the people are just shells. They’ve been muzzled so much, everything sucked out of them. It’s out of their hands, it’s out of their control. Man, I pray for the UK.” It’s raw, nostalgic, and hits hard if you’ve watched the change over the years. Have you noticed the same shift in energy and spirit in your own city or country? Or do you still feel the old vitality is there, just buried? Your thoughts 👇

@Dan94750 @JayneShannon @LoftusSteve & the comment of “i work in the NHS” is nothing but a sly dig.
many times they mentioned they were students, and “temporary accommodation” - as if that makes them any less subject to British Law. this older lady thought she was “better” than these students. fuck her.
English
@Dan94750 @JayneShannon @LoftusSteve i think otherwise, because a council will ALWAYS fit a disabled bay for any disabled resident. this older lady clearly cannot be arsed, and just wants the entitlement to a raised curb. something she knows she can easily avoid the hastle of, if she just paid the council.

I'm with the students. People who think they own the public space outside their house wind me up.
G R I F T Y@GriftReport
Woman knocks on students door over them parking in the streets and it all blows up this is one of the most funny and ridiculous encounters I've ever seen 😂😂

@TateTheTalisman Henry Tudor will pay for his crimes in England. a 500-year tragedy.

Yeah stick to orthodoxy young kings.

NOW - Dame Sarah Mullally is officially "enthroned" as the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England, becoming the first woman to take the role in 1,400 years.

@georgecursor @plzbepatient why? worried a 24 year old can plant you face down easily?
English
@plzbepatient This is actually true. It's weird to have to obey a 24 year old police officer.

Millennials (now nearing 40) have constructed this reality where positions of authority like cops can only be performed by people who are older than them. When they’re 70 they’ll be mad a 55 year old is arresting them

@ProtecttheFaith Learn your history.. italians are the cold blooded terrorists . Look what they did in libya and the roman empire also were terrorists

The skulls of these Italian Catholic martyrs murdered by the Islamist terrorists of their day -- the Ottoman Turks -- condemn the West's appeasement of 21st century Islamist invaders
Mambo Italiano@mamboitaliano__
It was 1480, when 18,000 Ottoman Turks invaded Otranto in Puglia, Italy 🇮🇹, devastating it 800 young martyrs (male, over 15 years) refused to renounce Christianity and were beheaded Today, their bones can still be seen in the beautiful Otranto Cathedral

@chattingbakwaas shame we had to artificially create your country for you, only one side has “aura” and it isn’t the perpetual victims - historical losers.
English
Look at the aura the Pakistan flag has over the England flag
Flag Mogged in your own country
Queen Natalie@TheNorfolkLion
Someone has put a Pakistani flag above an England flag. 😡 To the person who hung it: fuck off back to Pakistan and take your flag with you.

@velociti_ @LoftusSteve god forbid a uni student has a car.
chances are the uni students paid for their cars, and the woman with “asthma ” totally didn’t.
English
@LoftusSteve Notice how 3 students in one house all have cars? University is for entitled, spoiled brats these days. Of course Steve is with the entitled students. Of course he is.
English
@Dan94750 @JayneShannon @LoftusSteve how is the girl expected to be nice in your mind?
the argument from the other side is basically, you’re worth less because you’re students.
English
@JayneShannon @LoftusSteve I admit that the women became nasty, but to be fair, the girl was not the nicest either. She’s fighting for one chance out of four to have that spot. The old lady has one car and asked nicely at the beginning.
Landlords renting one house to five people is a real struggle.

@Padraiccleary @Fat_Jacques @LoftusSteve have you seen british roads? they’re usually about 2 metres wide. that ain’t ever happening.
English
@Fat_Jacques @LoftusSteve Japanese car parking/ownership laws would sort this
No owning cars you don't have private space to keep them in

#OnThisDay 1807 the Abolition of Slave Trade act gains Royal assent making trade of African slaves illegal in the Empire. In the decades that followed the Royal Navy captured over 1600 ships, freeing over 150,000 slaves. The cost was 2% of Government spending or half of RN budget

@DanJTPitt Disraeli, if not mistaken - was the man who kept constantly bending the knee to the Ottoman’s who were performing a genocide on Christian populations & Armenians.
just keep that in mind.

We win every referendum, and yet they never shut up. This is why Canada changed the flag without a referendum, the public having no say.

New Zealanders vote to retain the current flag over the proposed design in the nation's flag referendum. More than 2 million people vote in the referendum.

@quintonbroster @MemoryMedieval you’re the one bringing up Napoleon. i’m talking about Harold & William. the actual point of this conversation. my point was - a kings duty is to honourably defend his realm. make of that whatever you wish.

@slzpacked @MemoryMedieval You should have more honour, grow some cojones and stop straw manning]

This is how you know LOTR is about a bunch of Anglo-Saxons struggling mightily for a 9 hour movie trying to share a single lance.
If LOTR was about Normans it would have been all over after the first cavalry charge.
Memory Medieval@MemoryMedieval
Look at these dweebs "charging" with once lance between the whole group of em.
English
@quintonbroster @MemoryMedieval you should have more honour, than to seriously suggest this scorched earth tactic against your own people. he is the (at the time - believed) holy, chosen king of england. he’s obviously going to defend it. maybe he shouldve stayed in London when Vikings landed?
English
@slzpacked @MemoryMedieval You are being deliberately stupid aren’t you? You stupidly said it’s not a great look for a king to allow a foreigner etc etc
I showed you where the worlds greatest general was famously defeated by being allowed to do precisely what you disavowed
English
@quintonbroster @MemoryMedieval you are being deliberately stupid aren’t you? this is no comparison. a marching army is different to a mechanised ones with guns & artillery.

@quintonbroster @DavidofEnglish @MemoryMedieval imagine if Harold did what you wanted , but lost (as he likely would)
not only does Harold lose anyway, he also is seen as “weak” and likely loses support of the north even post-death. thats the point of the harrying of the north. they loved their courageous king.
English
@quintonbroster @DavidofEnglish @MemoryMedieval i’m saying by waiting in London, William would burn every village until he got there. then Harold would likely lose anyway, being the weaker force. it’s not a great look for a king, to allow a foreigner to march half your country before they are met…
