On a different manifesto to the one he actually tried to implement. We’re not talking Lib Dem’s not delivering free university here. He done a complete 180, he ran on a manifesto of signing an already agreed trade deal with the EU which the vast vast majority of Ukrainians backed and instead...

It’s almost as if Putins motivation is nothing to with Nazis and everything to do with mineral wealth.

In the last Polls about 59% of US public support aid to Ukraine, only 30% outright oppose it. Even in the senate’s only about half of republicans oppose funding Ukraine in any shape, way or form and that’s the MAGA contingent whose only purpose seems to be to oppose everything. I don’t know what...

Ooo, now you’re asking. Been racking my brain to think of them all as there was that many. There was Sid the manager, yes boy. Remember Mick Jagger making a regular appearance including doing the pips at whatever o’clock it happened to be. I think Mick Jagger was done by Phil Cornwell IIRC who...

Shit. Used to love listening to him as an 18 year old van driver when he was on Radio 1. All his characters like the pretentious music journalist and the micky takes like Arnie demanding Total respray, total refund etc. Real shame.

Wasn’t true of one side after the Oslo accords were signed. One signatory lived to an old age and died a hero of his nation. The other was assassinated by terrorists from his own people for daring to strive for peace.

I like your faith in UK bureaucracy. Do you know what EU Nationals got as proof of right to stay? An email, not an official letter, not a residency card or certificate, an email. Loose that and you personally have no proof of right to stay. It also sounds like you’re too young to remember the...

Shouldn’t you be a okay up to 3.5 ton? Which is LWB transit size. Unless it’s Italy rules rather than EU. You might also have something called grandfather rights. I’m not ever going to use it but when my license changed I lost 7.5 ton allowance which was what the law was when I passed but...

It will be their own fault. Spain gave every British expat already there regardless of circumstances guaranteed residency, all they had to do was apply, Spain even extended the deadline as they knew was British expats who hadn’t applied. I was reading that there was some exceptionism amongst...

It’s more akin to the UK invading the South or Ireland and raising it to the ground to tackle the IRA.

I’m old enough to remember the Johnson era when fraud wasn’t considered a crime so they could claim crime was falling when in fact it was up 14%. A typical Tory tale of too little too late.

America is paying lip service only. Repeatedly saying this is the line in the sand don’t cross it, okay, this is the line in the sand don’t cross it. Rinse and repeat. Would the US be stronger if it wasn’t election year? Who knows. The only thing we can be sure of is Trump would be weaker/more...

It’s never been a problem until Trump. You’re indulging him. Not least is because Trumps angle is that the only reason that the US spending on military is so high is because other members is so low, which is just complete bollocks. The reason the US budget is so high is because it’s a super...

But as I say, blinkered. look a Spain for instance. Massive strategic importance in location as the entrance to the Med from the Atlantic so also the Wests entrance to the Black Sea, Suez Canal and the Red Sea. The US knows this, the US wanted Spain in NATO as much as anyone, the US has both a...

Mmm. It’s a bit of a blinkered view though Steve. You’re putting spend and only spend as a measurement of importance. Take Iceland for instance. No military force therefore no military spend yet NATO members. The reason is the strategical importance of Icelands location. So there’s more than one...

Suddenly that EU army that was never going to be looks a good idea if Trump gets in again.

What amazes me is people actually think that the world will be more stable if Trump is president. He’s essentially just given Putin the green light to attack our NATO allies which will 100% trigger WW3. No ifs, no buts, we, that’s WE, would be at war with Russia.

He’s not deranged, he’s a very stable genius.
