What on earth has she been drinking? Is this Badenoch’s way of seeking attention by being extreme?

It’s an excellent video series presented in his Lordship’s distinctive manner. I’m listening to Rob and Jack’s podcast series on the Forgotten War. Worth reading the Japanese reaction to Sato upon his return to Japan; it provides valuable insights into their response to the 15th Army’s disaster.

If the plan is to by a load of these things. Perhaps they would be better off buying the Toyota hi-lux at least it works in extreme weather and conditions.

Considering the U.K. public’s stance towards Mr. Musk, as evidenced by the polling data, aligning your political support with Mr. Musk’s actions, particularly those taken in support of Mr. Trump, may not be the most prudent strategy, as analysed by the Wall Street Journal.

Given that Badenoch appears to have lost the plot in fighting Farage for Trump’s acknowledgment and the populist vote, Davey and Starmer, if they are wise, are in a strong position for the next election, which is likely to be held after the next presidential vote.

Then, she is battling Farage for the 25% of the electorate who are willing to give populism a chance. Now, the question is whether Starmer and Davey can capitalise on this opportunity, given that they can associate them with the Trump outcome, a likely significant negative impact on America.

Without knowing the details the most likely scenario is navigating a congested shipping lane, it puts ships in close proximity and one wrong call can set a near unavoidable collision if not spotted in time. At that point, opening fire wouldn't help much, only making things worse.

Might be a silly question how does a ship with all those radar and sensors everywhere, being that big given the escorts, get hit.
@drachinifel.bsky.social any guidance on what happened would be welcome.

Well, if the plan is to construct a substantial number of these Rolls Royce SNRs, they will require a significant amount of steel.

It will eventually reach a point where that becomes the obvious course of action. However, Johnson eliminated those he was terrified of, who would have been the ideal candidate to save the Conservative Party.

It’s unfortunate if it happens, George. You’ll have a generation without medical protection. We’re only now recovering from the false MMR vaccine controversy.

General Richard Freiherr von Rosen comes to mind. Though he was a lieutenant and platoon leader with the 3rd Company of Tiger Division 503, participating in Operation "Citadel" (the Battle of Kursk), the largest tank battle of the Second World War and Normandy.
