The UK army has also been testing such lasers and I'd imagine a good few other countries are doing the same. You'd have to be crazy not to look for solutions to deal with small drones given what we've seen in Ukraine.

A couple of decades ago, my Mum was on a tour of Holyrood Palace and was somewhat dumbfounded when a nice American lady also on a tour asked her if they were in Buckingham Palace! She must have had a very busy itinerary, not to know which country she was visiting!

She shouldn't need to adapt! A 'fiscal rule' planning spending on forecasts about an unknown future 5 years away is a badly-conceived policy in the first place and she shouldn't have followed the Tories by duplicating it. One of many badly-conceived policies, many of which were also inherited!

Continuing the Tory policy of a foolish, self-imposed yet utterly nonsensical 'fiscal rule' is about as wrong as it is possible for a Chancellor to be. What we've seen tried is 'expansionary austerity' by another name. To fix 14 years of Tory ruin, you've got to properly invest, not cut.

The ACV brigade recommend it for everything! My favourite is their advice for folk with acid indigestion or even serious reflux - drink some acid! It's made from apples!

One man's madness is another showing some admirable character.

Amazing to see such a large proportion of such a large country completely switching off their brains. If you get your news from Fox, then I suppose that explains it to a degree. And the daily televising of the White House 'press conferences' with comical selected questions and ludicrous propaganda.

He's going to burn down everything he touches for a long time yet.

If I understand things correctly, 'purebred' dogs are those which have been selectively bred to share genetically desirable traits. Cousins marrying cousins again and again. Probably the odd sibling thrown in from time to time. Does this sound feasible for any areas of the country in which you live?

Trump probably gave him the job on the basis of that photo alone. "Looks my my kinda guy".

Too late to be called Taco Tuesday, so it's Taco Wednesday. And tomorrow will be Taco Friday, followed by Taco Saturday and so on for 4 years.

Interesting to learn something new. I think the catch-all term is, 'shagger'.

Are we at all surprised that a spokesperson for Truss didn't even know the correct name of the football club she was there to support?

From that quote, I didn't expect to hear Vine show such self-awareness. Actually, it might just have been the professor pointing out the obvious. I'm thinking morally, not physically, of course.

All a bit, Trump-y, isn't it? What else should we really expect from those who fulminate about freedom of speech when a racist gets sent down?

The semaglutide seems to have played havoc with his memory. Morals haven't changed, though.

It's probably because you are a company director. The criticism of policy is almost certainly just coincidental. 🙃

As a company director living in a cul-de-sac (albeit with only two children), I wonder if the authorities will be tracking my movements to ensure I am not at risk of being radicalised?

Not Corbyn, obviously, but it would be nice to have somebody at least mildly left-wing as leader of the Labour Party. Somebody who doesn't have the political instincts of a potato would be good, as well.

Do the government have any policies which aren't inane, poorly-considered and based on culture war gibberish? Asking for a friend. They are truly beyond inept.

I'm sure Siemens will be able to find somewhere else to sell their turbines. Plenty required for Dogger Bank (a less fun place than it sounds)!

Ah, Lincolnshire's famous mud mines. We'll be exporting our mud all the way around the world.

Hull isn't in Lincolnshire. However, Immingham and Grimsby are and there are plans to install large turbines on the docks of each. Green energy for English ports? What a crazy idea!

I need to show this to my wife. Actually, probably better to text her a link...

One word which hasn't lost its meaning (in the UK) is 'cunt' and this applies oh so well to the likes of Heath. Never lose sight of the fact that he's getting paid very generously to write this gibbering bullshit.
