@NickyZog @YMunn62 The security threat is centred on England.
If Scotland is seen to be a normal functioning state the likelihood is that Scots will vote for independence.
The British state sees this as an existential threat
Therefore they must 'nanny' the Scottish state and hobble us in every way

@NickyZog Simples.
A strong vibrant Scottish economy represents a potential threat to continued English rule

@deetime2000 @cirnosad One of them did a 33000 mile trip last summer sailing around the world. So obviously not as bad as people make out.

The 🇬🇧 HMS Queen Elizabeth is anything but a toy. It's a SVTOL carrier built around the F-35B. It doesn't need a crew of 4,000+, just ~600 will do. It's also not nuclear powered making it much safer.
Trump is utterly disrespectful. F**k the oranged**khead.
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO THE UK: "They said we will send our aircraft carriers, which aren't the best aircraft carriers by the way, they are toys compared to what we have, when the war is over. I said that's wonderful, we don't need it, we don't need them."

@GozarTenks @beyondbills_ @basedandbougie £70m guaranteed in uk steel and and interest from the loan and people are complaining
English
@beyondbills_ @DMUFC01 @basedandbougie It is mostly paid to British steel companies to help fix oil export terminals so I think this is very likely.

🚨BREAKING! The 🇬🇧UK plans to lend £746 Million to 🇳🇬Nigeria to help them refurbish their Ports.
The consistent aid given to African is getting out of hand! Africa has received more “aid” in the last century than Britain did after the Blitz.
The UK received $3.7billion in aid from the US and this was after a BRUTAL WORLD WAR and they used that money wisely to rebuild the UK into the state we see today.
Not only that, most of the African politicians are living better than European politicians in 20 bedroom mansions whilst the general Africa public live in poverty …. Where is this aid going ???
English
@beyondbills_ @basedandbougie It’s a loan from ukef which is an investment company to invest abroad owned by the government. I’d find it strange if they weren’t giving loans out.
English
@DMUFC01 @basedandbougie Yep I cant wait to see how thats going to be paid back.

@GetUsBritsOut @FBAwayDays No one cares, you guys live in a time when you wasn’t even born, work that one out,
English
@FBAwayDays Don't like it when you're on the receiving end of a bit of harmless banter, do you lads
Though I'm sure you'd have the crylaugh emojis out if it was England fans ripping down Scotland/Ireland flags
Pussies

Ireland fans in Prague loving it when the bouncer rips down the England flag from the bunting inside the pub… 😬😬

@mufcMPB @JacobsBen @UnitedStandMUFC Do these Leeds ex players even care about the rivalry we have? Because i'll not mind him and archie gray (when spurs goes down)
English
🚨 Manchester United “really like” Toulouse centre-back Charlie Cresswell - he’s one of the profiles United are looking at. #MUFC [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

Ghana didn’t sell slaves, Ghana didn’t exist then. Some locals were involved but much of it was driven by violence. Chiefs were threatened, killed or removed to force participation. Don’t rewrite history to dilute the scale and responsibility of the West's industrialized slavery
Peter Hague@peterrhague
Ghana really is pulling a fast one aren’t they? First they got paid for all the slaves they sold (until Britain stopped them) and now they want to get paid compensation for the existence of slavery by the people who stopped them doing it. Anybody in Parliament who even hints at “reparations” is in my mind a straight up traitor. I, a taxpayer, don’t owe foreign scammers a penny.
English
@DMUFC01 @Domcon23 @DavidHundeyin Now listen carefully ignoramus. On Nov 15th, 1884 a conference was held in Berlin by European countries and the US to partition Africa or scramble for its resources. Those African countries speaking French today fell under France same way with English speaking countries.
English
By the way, if you're African and you're new to geopolitical awareness, you can use this picture as a guide to know who is on your side and who is your enemy in this world.
Notice how China and Russia voted?
Then notice how your oyibo faves voted (or abstained, which is also a type of vote)?
Shebi "not everything is about race"? You see how white people ALWAYS instinctively bunch together, from Andorra to Norway, whenever it's time to do some racist shit?
That's called Pan-Europeanism.
The antidote is Pan-Africanism.

Finally, aid to Ukraine is over.
Perhaps Zelensky can now stop sucking off the Trump administration and start worrying about the interests of Ukraine and about WINNING the war.
English
At least the UK is leading in one thing...
We are buildings the worlds MOST expensive nuclear power station.
Hinkley Point C is set to cost more than FOUR times per MW compared to South Korea.
We can thank the Vegetable Lobby for this.
If South Korea can do it, we can too.
English
@lfg_uk You are mistaken about the need & benefit of nuclear in the UK
The two large sucessful nuclear builds were USA & France
But that was done in the 1970s using 1970s construction worker wages
Wages are twice as high in real terms so construction of nuke will be min 2 x costly
English
@Jaswanarth @BohuslavskaKate If there was no nato Europe would be under communism
English
@BohuslavskaKate Has anyone ever stopped to think if the fact that there is a NATO is the actual problem? Russia would find it incredibly discombobulating if every couple of months it had to cry "No you cannot join the latest loose affiliation of nations that don't like us!"....
English
STARMER: Our support for Ukraine is unshakeable. We’re also bringing them closer to the JEF (Joint Expeditionary Force) as an enhanced partner, and the Ukrainian Navy will exercise with us for the first time in September.
The crisis in the Gulf has highlighted Ukraine’s expertise in modern warfare. They can provide unparalleled defenses against Iranian drones thanks to their experience. We want to keep working with them to multiply that strength.

UK carriers arent having problems with their highly mechanised weapon carrying systems….

🚨 WATCH: Donald Trump says UK aircraft carriers are “toys” compared to US ones
English
@Stan_Politics1 @PolitlcsUK I hate Labour but you must be utterly delusional to think they are the problem in the relationship.
English
@PolitlcsUK Temporary issue
Once Labour is gone relationship with our allies will drastically improve

🚨 WATCH: Donald Trump says he's unsure if the US will "be there" for the UK in the future
"We're always going to be there. Well, at least we were. I don't know about anymore, to be honest with you"

My country has contributed more to humanity than any other and I am immensely proud of it 🇬🇧
-World Wide Web, Jet engines, antibiotics, vaccines, steam engines, Industrial Revolution the television
-Parliament, first country to enforce worldwide slavery ban with military.

@archer_rs They really are children...my toy is bigger than yours...

O dear, it would seem that Trump is not aware that both the Nimitz and Gerald Ford class of carriers are only able to navigate at sea thanks to a piece of British technology that the UK government licenses to them without charge.

Trump: The UK’s aircraft carriers are toys compared to what we have.
English
@MrLukeGeorge @WarMonitor3 You could say all aircraft carries are a waste of money in today’s world. But that’s not what the topic was about. The uks aircraft carries are more technology advanced than American.
