This man was a London police officer for 31 years, according to his profile on X. He repeatedly abuses me on here, having blocked me. Another intellectual coward. Profoundly concerning that someone like him served in the police.
I live right next to the US embassy in London.
They built an actual moat around it.
Who builds a moat around their embassy? Countries that do bad things and expect retaliation. Or countries who do diplomacy as if we’re in the Middle Ages.
The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare.
In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do.
And the cost?
Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.
All my life, my whole family thought we were Irish.
I always made corned beef and cabbage on St. Patty's Day. I love corned beef!
We thought we were Irish because we have a lot of redheads in the family. Plus, our tree shows that our family, the McCalls, immigrated from Ireland in the mid-1800s.
In 2009, I even took my daughter on a trip to Ireland to show her the country our family came from.
Then I did my DNA. Turns out, we have no Irish at all. Not even a fraction of a percent.
We're Scottish.
The McCalls originated in Scotland and immigrated to Ireland in the 1600s.
Guess I'll have to take a trip to Scotland one day. 🤷♀️
RAJU: It's been more than two weeks since this war against Iran was launched, yet the House has not had a single public hearing with a cabinet official about the cost to American taxpayers and service members. Why not?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know if you've noticed but they've given us multiple briefings
RAJU: But a public hearing
JOHNSON: We're in the midst of a couple of weeks' long operation that's very sensitive, and you cannot go outside of a classified briefing to give to the public the information because it would adversely affect our mission
I was doing a crossword in the pub & said to my Scottish mate, "I'm stuck on this one: Trapped on a desert island, eight letters, starting with M."
He said, "It’s Marooned."
I said, "Oh ok, I'll have a gin & tonic then please!"
@BCShinner@Amockx2022 Diaper Donny tariffs us to fuck, sullies the memory of our brave soldiers who died along side USA, talks invasion of our lands then comes crawling to us cos he’s shit the bed and wants us to clean up after him? He can fuck right off. This will just a bad dream once he’s gone.
They should help us. If they want us to remain in NATO. After all, we are 70% of NATOs military might. We could always back out and leave them to deal with Russia all on their lonesome.
Bye bye Europe. We will no longer be treated like your bitch to come when you call and foot most of the bill. You can go fuck yourselves.
BREAKING : Donald Trump has totally lost it
At 1:00 PM -- "Everyone should help us in opening Strait of Hormuz"
At 5:00 PM -- "We don't need anyone, we are the strongest country. I just ask for help to check their responses" 😭
Unreal hypocrisy
@archivetvmus71 Blimey! This brings back memories of when I was on a date at the Chinese restaurant in Woolton Village, I’m guessing in 1970, and he came in to pick up a takeaway.
