Thread | Should we go to war

Heavens forbid it ever came to it but we now have more civil servants than squaddies ,
"The Civil Service, cut back drastically during David Cameron’s time as prime minister, is now four times the size of the British Armed Forces for the first time. Britain has a public payroll of 543,000 full-time mandarins and 137,000 regular troops",
Vlad must be rubbing his hands in anticipation.

Looks like the Chancellor of this great country is now in more of the sticky stuff, it appears a letter sent to her from a Tory MP Richard Holden asking her directly to clarify her position whilst holding the role of an economist, "Under government guidance, published in September, it states ministers should respond to such correspondence within 20 working days, meaning Ms Reeves should have responded by Monday December 16 at the latest" but she hasn't , its not a good look mispresenting your self at the best of times but for a senior member of a Government even less so.
On a side note note google Richard the 111 ,that's an uncanny resemblance if I may say so . |

Thread | Re election
at 19:18 24 Nov 2024
I see that an online petition to call for another general election has now reached a million votes , not going to happen but a more oil on the fire of Starmer's tenure .
"An online petition calling for another general election to be held has surpassed 1 million signatures after thousands more signed it every minute.
The call to action was started by small business owner Michael Westwood four days ago. Mr Westwood told the Express he thinks voters feel "betrayed" by Labour and that the "promises that were told" ahead of the July election "looking nothing like" the reality.
Described as Britain's fastest-ever growing petition by commentators, the campaign has been backed by a number of political figures including Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who said he had "never seen anything like it" after watching 750,000 signees add their names in just 24 hours.
Former Tory leadership contender Robert Jenrick said: "Over a million people have now expressed their fury that Labour lied at the general election.
"Starmer shamelessly said one thing to get elected and has done the complete opposite once in power. Nobody will ever trust a word he says again." |

He used to play ( albeit briefly) with grandson and to be picked up Barcelona at such a young age and from abroad must mean he has something about him .
Enzo Romano
"For those of you following Enzo Romano’s story I thought I’d let you know what’s happening at the moment.
Many of you know Enzo’s story but for those of you who don’t I coached Enzo for 4 years in Cardiff. In 2016 when he was just 7 years old he got selected to play for Barcelona and his family moved from Cardiff to Barcelona. The story doesn’t end there! He is now 15 years old and plays for the Wales.
Despite being born in Wales Enzo has now been denied British citizenship. His family have of course appealed this decision. However if this decision is upheld it will prohibit him from wearing the Welsh shirt and playing for Wales his home team.
Enzo has always had a dream of becoming a professional footballer and he always wanted to represent the country of his birth, Wales." |

Are they worth it, it appears the darling of the labour front bench was recently spotted (3 weeks ago) fiddling around with a nice bit of military kit , namely a drone , no ordinary drone though but one manufactured by "Autel Robotics, a Shenzhen-based drone manufacturer, found which itself slapped with sanctions by the UK government last week, having allegedly supplied UAVs to be used by russian forces. Ironically these drones were also being used by the Nottinghamshire police force. Money has no enemies it seems. |

Only in the UK, whatever happened to basic common-sense by our so called betters. Putin is moving towards a wider war footing, he's testing our ariel response to his air forces incursions and now some dimwit decided to allow one of his ships loaded with enough ammonia nitrate to reshape part of the UK's eastern seaboard .This after the more sensible amongst the free world decide its too much of a risk to allow it to dock. Taking aside whether Russia is involved or not why would the UK take a risk of a major event occurring right here at home when the ship can still move under its own powe. |
