    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Ahh, Isreal. Helping recruitment for Hamas since 2023. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67695861

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    According to soon to be falling from a window Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, onetime richest man in Russia and friend of Putin and Abramovich, Russia will be running out of money next year without foreign investment. Apparently Putin is already shaking down his oligarchs that he enriched with...

    They’re also busy fucking up power sharing at the moment arguing with every other party over how a the £2.5B budget should be spent with economics that would make Truss blush. They simply don’t want a return to power sharing. Hopefully they get wiped out at the next GE and assembly elections so...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Nothing if you’re fighting for Russia. I think you’re grasping at straws though if you think Ukrainians have nothing to fight for.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It’s disappointing, I wouldn’t say it’s humiliating. The one thing Russia did get “right” was distracting Ukraine over last winter with Wagner cannon fodder while digging in and making Ukraine the most mined country in the world ahead of the spring offensive. Although that in itself is a...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Their new T 14 tank is a standing joke also. Putin apparently believed they had the best designed tank in the world. The reality is it can’t even do a parade without having a tow truck on standby. Allegedly he’s only just learned it hasn’t even been built to the spec in terms of armament and...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I was watching something not that long ago where he’d been paying prominent people in Ukraine money for influence amongst the people. So long as they kept saying it was working he kept sending the money. It seems he really thought he’d won the hearts and minds of Ukrainians despite their not...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Not sure that you can claim Putin isn’t an idiot when he clearly believed Russia was going to be waved in by adoring Ukrainians throwing rose petals at the tracks of tanks all the way to Kyiv as liberators not invaders. He ain’t exactly smart is he. In fact the only thing probably stopping him...

    Sunak went full Colonel Oliver North today. Like Boris he’s decided to use the I’m an idiot line of defence.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You do wonder if Starmers ego is working overtime with this and he wants a bigger majority than Boris in 2019 for bragging rights. Apparently they really do despise each other beyond what is the norm between a PM and opposition leader. Desperation to win that dick waving competition might...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Err. There was an agreement in the first place. It was called the Budapest Memorandum. How can people be so stupid to believe an agreement would mean anything to Putin, if they did he wouldn’t have annexed Crimea or invaded any other part of Ukraine.

    But even the governments own estimates was that they could if they wished get a quarter of it back. I understand that it was a desperate time but the fact that they believed that they could get a quarter of it back and chose not to demonstrates how they value the public purse. The failed test...

    It’s up there. But you have to remember who controls the tone and why they give people like Michelle Mone a free pass. She comes from the same place as the Murdochs, the remaining Barclay brother and the Rothermeres. She’s one of them and they look after their own so have you distracted with...

    That’s about the size of it. And actually for a country of our size that is a sensible amount of net migration. It grows the economy and we need to compensate for a declining fatality rate. More people in the UK celebrated their 50th birthday last year than were born in the UK by about 100k...

    That’s the whole point. It’s highly unlikely to continue. The migration observatory has done some decent articles on it pointing to separate reports by both the ONS and OBR and comparing historic trends of migration to the UK and comparing to trends in comparable economies. Both the ONS and OBR...
