How do we know Churchill wasn’t reincarnated as an otter?
Otter armoured car crossing a bailey bridge surrounded by troops and wrecked buildings.
Tories arguing that Churchill should be on banknotes rather than Otters, because of WW2, are showing their ignorance.
Here's a photo of an Otter participating in the fighting in Italy. I don't see Churchill in this photo.
This is a nation that drinks Ratzeputz FFS. If you can drink that stuff, salsa verde is the nursery slopes.

You might try Cuthbert Headlam’s diaries - edited for the Army Records Society by Jim Beach. Acerbic yeomanry officer who made it to GSO and has thoughts on the system.
To quote the great Stonekettle - all the self awareness of a dog licking its own arse on a public sidewalk.
US President complains that UK only joins wars late in ‘Irony takes itself outside to the back of the shed and shoots itself’
Not part of my childhood canon (male Brit) but my wife (female American) did read them growing up - and reckons that in books, never mind the TV series, there was a lot of wallpapering of reality that even a child could spot. So maybe there's scope for 'authenticity'.
there is literally no group of people in society I am less interested in hearing from right now, than 'British influencers living in Dubai':
At what point do stop being a 'former' anything and become 'irrelevant geriatric embarrassment to former employer'? Asking for a friend, obs.

Since we’re all having a love-in about the UK Greens today it’s probably worth restating that their defence policy especially wrt NATO is shit.
"John Prescott would be loving this"

Even when they visited UK is was actually to meet the USAF

Time for a wee swally, Mary Doll.
Spent periods in my youth mucking out cattle byres. An unpleasant job, but with one lasting benefit - I can recognise bullshit where and whenever it presents itself.
All those conferences I have participated in with top officials with very concerned faces going on and on about soft power and countering Chinese influence, Russian disinformation, it is all terrible, etc…
Guys.
Fund. The. BBC.
I was watching events in Minneapolis on the TV the other night and strange as it might seem, I didn't find myself thinking 'you know, those look exactly like IVCPs in South Armagh c.1980'.
Screenshot from Tumblr User hatingongodot: “In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“ LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy User Shitacademicswrite: i thought maybe this was fake, but there’s even a citation! Taejong Sillok Book 7. 5th year of King Taejong’s Reign (1404), February 8.
Never forget the anniversary of King Taejong falling off his horse!
Naughtiness at home, rather than naughtiness abroad? Double Plus Ungood.
Amateurs study conspiracies, professionals study cock ups.
Some days ago we saw a letter from Sen Wyman to D/CIA indicating he had 'deep concerns' about CIA activities, which many linked to reports of an ODNI whistleblower 'issue'. Seems the whistleblower thing is NSA. So what could be exercising the distinguished gentleman from Oregon ? Venezuela?
I would be interested to know how many of these Bibles were actually read ....
As a Brit I was slightly surprised by Dort being a supporter of Arsenal FC, then I checked out the American usage of 'gooner' - eeew!
Was off to plug up the bombe until I remembered your speciality ....
I feel sad for Starmer in many ways. An ostensibly good man with good intentions. But as I expect Clement Attlee would have said “not up to it”.
the cat has a very particular noise when he's staring at birds he wants to but can't murder and I think he's blaming it on woke.
Preach!
