iirc many of Rome's early victories were based less on the prowess of their generals and more on their system of being able to quickly raise militia armies to replace the ones the aforementioned generals had pissed up the wall.
Have we been hoodwinked by Iranians spray painting pretend jet fighters? No, it must be the laws of physics that are wrong!
Shabana Mahmood MP ~ @ShabanaMahmood X.com I have approved the Metropolitan Police's request to ban the Al Quds march. I am satisfied doing so is necessary to prevent serious public disorder, due to the scale of the protest and multiple counter-protests, in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Should a stationary demonstration proceed, the police will be able to apply strict conditions. I expect to see the full force of the law applied to anyone spreading hatred and division instead of exercising their right to peaceful protest.
Gentlemen, you can’t protest against the war here! There’s a war going on!
What I love about this is that Trump is like, "I know we said we were already bombing you as much as possible, but we're going to really *really* bomb you if you don't do what we say, like mega-ultra-super bomb you". Turns out if your rhetoric is dialed up to 11 from the start, there's nowhere to go
"I'm a big supporter of yours..." which is why I'm concern-trolling my way round your replies and condescending people disagreeing with me.
Ah bless you, you thought you did something here. Good luck on the path, friend.
"Keep going, I'm nearly there"
Sounds like a skills issue. Good luck sorting that out.
Yeah, before the attacks on Iran no-one had even heard of this "Epstein" character!!
I mean, the counter argument of "not cutting jury trials" seems to be pretty implicit in Zack's message here, don't you think?
Christ almighty, the amount of times I remember getting into it with these hacks because they Would. Not. Accept. that they were aiming their fire in the wrong direction as they repeatedly punched left over spoonerisms and being called bald, while fascism was literally on the rise under their noses.
It also strongly implies that there is an anointed ruling class that is capable of running things and that anyone who isn't part of that needs patting on the head and pointing towards the exit.
This right here is the winner.
"Replies disabled" is just 👌🏻
Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.
Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.
I am fucking levitating reading this.
This guy's name is Ryan Ferguson. Here he is in Warwick last week, siege heiling alongside Aryan Front. Here he is yesterday in Bristol palling about with "Bristol Patriots". They know who he is, and they're fine with him being there.
Yeah, exactly. The fucking cowards in the Blackpool group were like "He's entitled to his beliefs, but we don't share all of them". Motherfucker, you *invited* this Nazi piece of shit here because you thought he could provide numbers for your next protest, you don't get to wash that stink off.
A "pretty serious allegation" that's well within the patterns of behaviour we've seen from IDF soldiers in the past, remember the hospital raid dressed as doctors?
This piece of shit came to Blackpool recently to meet up with our resident "patriot" group and loudly announced on video that their next migrant hotel protest would be whites only. It's been grimly amusing watching the neighbourhood "We're not racist, but..." dickheads trying to spin that one.
This isn't a catalyst post for religious discussion btw, if you're a believer, good for you, I envy your faith in many ways. I'm not, let's move on.
Ironically, it's "Christians" like this who make me wish God *was* real, because fuck ME will they be in for a shock.
I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.
If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.
My daughter wouldn't eat anything remotely approaching texture for the longest time, whereas my son was (and still is 😄) a dustbin who will eat anything put in front of him.
Yeah, I remember in a sea of variable parenting advice, one of the best pieces was (ironically) not to take any of the "best ways" of parenting too much to heart, because you can read as many bits of advice, as many parenting books as you like, but the kid hasn't. They're gonna do what they'll do.
Woken up from snoozing on the sofa, time for some planking and a spicy marg.

Well yeah, but the space force are an amalgam of different service branches. Airborne regiments are part of the army, so "ground specialised" soldiers are also known as... soldiers. It just strikes me as a bit of a tautology 😄
Not being funny like but "soldiers specialised in ground combat"?
As opposed to?
