@MikeStewart79 @Douglas_Haribo That's not an answer that you are demanding from others. You seem to be asking for hard facts judging from your replies. Just for clarification I am neither for or against indy. I am one of the few still to be convinced either way

@cihol1508 @Douglas_Haribo Yes. There is plenty evidence that suggests short to medium term we would struggle.

👇🏼👇🏼 Scottish Nationalist - sell me independence with facts. Is anyone willing to take the challenge ? #SNP

@MikeStewart79 @Douglas_Haribo Have you got facts? That seems to be your standard answer

@Douglas_Haribo There is no economic upside

@RayanAlass @allenanalysis When do you start packing up your european bases.

@allenanalysis Bye bye NATO. Best of luck with Putin. Not a US concern

UK Refuses Blockade Britain just said no. The UK will not join Trump’s Strait of Hormuz blockade. This is America’s closest military ally. The country that stood with Washington through Iraq, Afghanistan, and every intervention for 25 years. The country whose Armed Forces chief said this week that the peace dividend is over. They looked at this blockade and said no.

@ZoeParamour So 4x combined salery

Your house was 2.5 x your combined salary. Houses are currently 8 times the average salary.

@LeinsterClub Should get half a star for each

5 home European Semi Finals in a row is pretty impressive by any metric. 2021 LAR ✈️ ❌️ 2022 Toulouse 🏟✅️ 2023 Toulouse 🏟✅️ 2024 Saints 🏟✅️ 2025 Saints 🏟❌️ 2026 Toulon 🏟

@AFC_EM500 @kingkapoor72 @grok Very selective cropping

@kingkapoor72 @grok just stop bro💀

Mosques get £18,000 each from the government for security. Churches get £199 each. @grok, is this right?

UK 🇬🇧 Military 🧵 Part 1. The UK military didn’t “decline”. It was deliberately gutted. The peace dividend was national suicide. Here’s exactly how, when and why it all went to shit – and why the MoD, the civil service, and every single government (especially Blair & Starmer’s) have blood on their hands. 30+ year veteran thread. No more bullshit. Early 90s. I’m in 18 Group Maritime Ops (now PJHQ). Real assets – Nimrods, proper RN escort fleet – tracking Soviet subs that never stopped probing us. Russians didn’t take a peace dividend. Our governments did. Scrapping Nimrods, hollowing the fleet, pretending the threat vanished. Cupboard’s been empty ever since. We’re sitting ducks. Literally! What a fkn shambles. Iraq proved it in blood. No body armour. Open-top Snatch Land Rovers – rolling coffins. Labour sent us to war like that. Yanks nicknamed us “the Borrowers”. 457 of our lads died. Would’ve been far more without American kit and fast air. Chilcot laid it bare. Zero lessons learned. When British troops were in contact – whether in Iraq, Helmand or beyond – they’d be praying for American fast air, tankers and enablers to keep them alive. That’s not knocking our own pilots – far from it. Finbar Monahan DFC and countless RAF heroes showed incredible bravery and ingenuity under fire. But the brutal reality is the scale and sustainment gap our hollowed-out force created. I saw it from the Battlespace Manager seat. We leaned on the Yanks because successive governments left us no choice. While the military was shrunk to the bone, the MoD and civil service bloated like a politicians ego. Civil servants multiplied, costing us a fortune, delivering sweet fuck all experience or value. We’ve been properly duped. Every government destroys the original model and swings wildly the other way. The system is broken. Procurement is still a fucking joke. Military: “We need a dog.” MoD: “Meetings.” Years later: “Here’s a cat. Teach it to bark.” 🐶 = 🐱 I lived this shambles. Left in 2021. Same clowns today. Leadership rot everywhere. Gavin Williamson pushed woke ideology and hand-picked Mike Wigston as CAS. Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak – every single one owns a slice. Same applies to every Defence Secretary. Let’s talk about the Afghan schemes another day Ben Wallace. Tories slashed the military with Options for Change. Labour did Iraq on the cheap. Now Starmer’s at the helm making excuses instead of fixing the real problems. End of Part 1/2 – The rot runs deep and cost lives. Part 2 coming straight after: Trump holds up the mirror, Starmer gaslights, the Middle East betrayal, the cancer inside, and the brutal fix we need.

@Anjelae9 @Jenny_1884 You can use your spouses tax allowance if they are not working. Not widely knowen and not much of a saving but every little helps

@Jenny_1884 Someone earning £80k pays more tax because there’s only one personal allowance applied to their income, so their take-home pay is lower. It makes no sense .

What makes no sense is if someone in the household earns 80k they will receive no child benefit but if both partners earn 40k each you will receive full child benefit. How does this make any sense at all?

@LeinsterClub Think they will go all out against lions then rest big hitters against stormers with an eye on semi a week later if we get past the quarters this weekend. Franco would have been planning for this for months now

If Glasgow don't send their 1st team down to South Africa, they're definitely picking up 5 or 6 points from the last 4 games. Away to Lions, Stormers & Ulster is as tough a finish imaginable. Probably looking at: ⛈️ 66 🪉 65 🦈 63 ⚔️ 61 _______ 🐂 60 ✋🏾 57 🟦 53 🦌51

@haribaldijones @LekkerRugbyPod @MegafoonRugby Who have you got glasgow losing to? I think it will be the stormers

My ultimate URC log projections based on relative difficulty of home stretch: 1. Glasgow 2. Stormers 3. Leinster 4. Bulls 5. Munster 6. Ulster 7. Sharks 8. Cardiff

@RexKwonDo_ Because they can't answer any of the big questions so they will probably get a no vote again

Why doesn't the Scottish parliament just tell Starmer to fuck off when he says Scotland can't hold a referendum? Literally call his bluff.

@scrumming_ten What are the budgets out of interest?

Some people have clearly forgotten that the SA rugby teams have much smaller budgets than the teams in France, England, Scotland and Ireland. Expecting an SA team to win the Investec Champions Cup is like expecting a Dutch or Portuguese club to win the UEFA Champions League

@GusMcgusface South africa sides should learn to win their pool matches then they wouldn't have to cry about being poorly reffed in glasgow

South African sides will need to learn how to cheat like the Europeans. You can now obstruct defenders on the tryline in Glasgow. #GLAVBUL

@cambom01 @dylmjack Exactly my point. Home advantage seems to rate highly with the ref. Still think the last format was best. Home and away fixtures and straight to quarters

@cihol1508 @dylmjack That is the way to do it. But the format of the comp is also terrible so the group stages aren’t compelling at all, the KOs produce very few surprises and in the end a large club with far more resources than most others wins, barring the very rare exceptions so what’s the point?

@LacesOutNo5 @dylmjack Ok it's a big L sorry. Keep your hair on pal. You lot were never going to win in glasgow. Altitude matters remember

@cihol1508 @dylmjack The weather....Jesus wept. It is a big L. Out of the Champions Cup.

@LacesOutNo5 @dylmjack Wasn't a big L. Was a cracker of a match but I think the weather made a difference

@dylmjack Bulls losing too....another SA team suffering a big L this wknd.

@cambom01 @dylmjack Maybe respect the group stages and get home games in the knockouts

@dylmjack It’s why I don’t really watch champions cup. The “home ground” officiating just ruins the contest and happens in most of the games. Unless you are top-seeded after the group stages, you may as well write off the competition for the rest of the season.

@thepenGW How do you organise the photos on your phone. Always there within minutes with a photo. I would be scrolling for hours

PATRICK SCHICKERLING TRY!!!!!!!!!

@richard68864212 @Jenny_1884 Scrap tax on pensions. Means test state pension on a sliding scale. All us millionaires would be way better off

@Jenny_1884 As a retiree not yet an OAP I think the triple lock needs to go, we can’t afford it but the trade off should be a higher tax free threshold

These people complaining about the triple lock on pensions for people who paid into the system all their working lives should vent their anger on the amount this government pays out housing illegal migrants that have not paid a single penny into the system. It’s insane these people blame the elderly for working hard all their lives. If you want to blame anyone it should be the government not the elderly.

@Wheeeel @Jenny_1884 Gone

@Jenny_1884 Just a thought. A person pays in from aged 16 until they die just before retirement, meaning they never recieve their entitlement of a pension. Where is that money?
