He knows what he is saying and it's not the first time he's said it. It's brazen and hopefully will be easily evidenced come the day, and the wall ...

As he has already said, "no more stupid rules of engagement".

ten years ago) is fantasy. If there are too many tourists for an island that can't get bigger however much it tries, rearranging the deckchairs for more people isn't the answer. Have a look at this typical story just from the last couple of days!

The south isn't "approaching collapse". It is already in collapse. No-one can move anywhere. And apart from gridlock, expanding Los Cristianos port with a below-sea-level - with seas rising - underpass to the TF1 going under every 60s & 70s block built (one of which collapsed without any help ...

They're prepared to do it because they don't care about the cost to their people. The Americans don't either, clearly ...

so a plague on both their houses. And if the genocidal zionist abomination is included, on all their houses.

Yes, and which they're trying to force into shops in the UK at least.

They have no idea at all about food. Their "cheese" can't be labelled as such because it's plastic, and I now know their meat sauces are so smooth because it's actually mechanically recovered pink slime. And then chicken, chlorine washed, in a tin, and I don't think they really get "vegetables" ...

Second wins nothing in the UK. Even a single vote advantage means Reform is the winner who takes it all.

Appropriate for a state modelled on the Roman Republic, or at least the Julio-Claudians. Are we really looking at the turmoil of four quick successions followed by a military takeover? It feels far from implausible ... Sibylline even ...

Tax free loads-a-money, air conditioning, gated compounds where residents are imprisoned while feeling they're living the dream, luxury goodies and bungs from the emirates to influencers and other moral cowards to lie to the west about how wonderful and safe it all is ......

They won't because it's with them half the time. In Spain they call it turnismo ... your turn my turn your turn again my turn again, ad infinitum.

It's not the pendulum that needs to be stopped, it is part of the problem. It is the system that uses a pendulum that needs removing, root and branch.

He recovered, has been awarded "Horse of the Year", and was one of the primary horses named in the British Horse Society's equestrian Hall of Fame. He died aged 30 around 10 years after the bombings and has an an annual award named after him.

Sherlock, Murphy, and Roscoe are London Fire Brigaede cocker spaniels who help identify ignitable materials at fire scenes. They were particularly heroic at the horrendous Grenfell Tower fire.

Needing no introduction, Larry the Downing Street cat. The only one in recent history who actually deserves to be in there.

A statue of Winkie, the carrier pigeon who saved a downed crew of British airmen during WWII by flying home for help. She received the Dickin Medal for it, the animal version of the Victoria Cross.

Tories can't face life without WWII cosplay, even in their money. Not enough for banknotes to have other important aspects of the UK. It must be Churchill and heroes.

Suggestions for some while accommodating the new theme. The last one should please the gammon, surely.

Every time I see him I get the instant impression of someone experiencing a psychotic incident ... or who is hyped up by drugs. Don't know which it is but it looks just like one of those two. Either way, a walking talking bomb about to go off.

Intriguing that so many "reputable" investors fell for it ... mostly American, I see. No surprise really that they failed to see behind the posh watch and the pretence of wealth.

Not like we didn't suspect exactly this sort of thing, and not like we didn't suspect it would be kept as quiet as possible, but it's just so bloody blatant.

It's an indifference to discovery, indeed a parading of that indifference, that's so mob-like.

I speak from film experience, of course ...
