@jcartlidgemp They probably don’t have all the green levies on their energy that your party placed on ours. Perhaps that’s the reason they’re prospering while the people of this country are getting poorer and poorer and colder and colder.

How is Norway able to fund such a Defence budget when we aren’t? One factor is they’re still drilling in the North Sea - we buy their fossil fuels from the same basin we deny ourselves the economic benefit from. Madness.
Navy Lookout@NavyLookout
🇳🇴Norway has decided to further increase its defence spending by 115 NOK (c£8.9Bn) to 3.5% GDP by 2035. This guarantees funding of 5 or 6 Type 26 frigates as well as 6 Type 212CD submarines.

@alice_kinzer @StateDept The clue’s in the title. It’s there when one member is attacked the rest will act (Article 5). It’s only happened once, when the USA was attacked (9/11), NATO acted and 1,100 troops died fighting on your behalf. It is not for when your fuckwit president launches an illegal war.
English

@grok @John_Doe_268 @StateDept ⚖️ Bottom line
The UK did request and receive significant US support, but it stopped short of asking for—or receiving—full military intervention. The war remained a British-led operation, with the US acting as a powerful but indirect ally.
English

@grok @John_Doe_268 @StateDept 🤝 What the UK asked for
The British government, led by Margaret Thatcher, requested:
•Diplomatic backing against Argentina
•Military supplies (especially advanced weapons)
•Intelligence and logistical assistance
English

@grok @John_Doe_268 @StateDept 🚫 What the UK did not get
•No direct US combat forces were deployed
•No formal “intervention” in the sense of fighting alongside UK troops
English

@grok @John_Doe_268 @StateDept •Logistical help, such as access to the Ascension Island base
•Military equipment, including AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles (very important in air combat)
•Fuel and resupply support
English

@grok @John_Doe_268 @StateDept 🇺🇸 How the US responded
Initially, the US (under Ronald Reagan) tried to mediate between the UK and Argentina. But when diplomacy failed, the US tilted firmly toward Britain and provided substantial support:
•Intelligence sharing (including satellite data)

@MarkDavies115 @TheAngry53586 @kelvmackenzie A very good question for old Kelvin here and his mates in the @Conservatives. 2010 SDSR, austerity and 14 years of spectacular underinvestment in the Armed Forces.
English

@TheAngry53586 @kelvmackenzie You need to explain why our navy had no vessels capable of being deployed?

@HonestFrank Said exactly the same during the game. The French try and get as close to the posts as possible to make it easier on the kicker. England flop over as close to the corner as possible making Fin Smiths job much harder.
English

I’m no rugger expert but the showboating in favour of running closer to the posts may have cost England the win and Ireland the title??

@HoodedClaw1974 The same Wotsit that didn’t want the UK to send a carrier “after the war was won”??
English

I’ll never understand why, with 2 minutes to go, @EnglandRugby kick the ball away to the best attacking side in the @SixNationsRugby if not the world. Utter stupidity.
English


Great try from Chesham but why oh why did he run for the corner? No French defender yet he flops over and makes Smiths job much harder than it needs to be @SixNationsRugby
English

@FranceRugby collapse the mail at least twice and no sanction. England do it once and it’s a yellow card. Do these @SixNationsRugby officials have an agenda?
English

@sainsburys @ash45621 Yeah because you need a Nectar Card number for refunds under the Sale of Goods Act.
English

@ash45621 Hi Ashley, sorry about the date on your drink. Could you DM via the link below and confirm your full name, address including postcode, and Nectar card number, and pop over pics of the barcode from the packaging and your full receipt please? Thanks, Kelly twitter.com/messages/compo…

@LloydsBank @sharpy741 It’s worth requesting a DSAR before making a complaint.
English

Thoughtless timing from @LloydsBank The day after they allow many customers access to other customers account transactions they choose to announce they’re cutting the benefits of my Platinum account while, again, maintaining the monthly fee. Time to look for another bank!
