People have been burned at the stake for less heinous crimes against god and man.

See, I always take the front carriage if heading to a terminous station for efficiency, then spend the journey wondering if this reduces my survival odds in a crash.

Couple of slices of sourdough with salted butter, and a blend of ketchup and mayo to make a proper nice chip butty.

(Chip sandwich to you Americans).

3) he was briefed about it, but on page 2 of the report.

Never can be safe, there was that horrific incident in the North Sea a few years back when a fishing boat hauled in a mine.

Area denial - it would be about keeping ships out of the straits rather than sinking them.

With apologies to the old naval joke that every ship can be a minesweeper once

This seems fine.

(I should note this isn't verified, but it is highly plausible for Iran to do this).

Tell me, how easy is it cleaning up a supertanker's worth of oil in a sea full of mines?

The intelligent ones at the back will have noted the problem of the UK's Royal Navy having only 2 carriers and 13 escorts. They've had to drag a destroyer out of dry dock to put to sea to defend Cyrpus.

The general rule of navies is you can actually deploy about a third of your force. 1/3rd deployed, 1/3rd preparing to put to sea or transiting to the deployment area, 1/3rd under training or refit.

You can surge more, at a cost of losing capacity at a later date.

The basic conclusion is Iran doesn't have to have held back that much of its arsenal to make an Aegis destroyer's life somewhat miserable.

There was actually a war game of this scenario back in 2002.

I'll be recharging my car at 5p per kWh tonight on plentiful renewables as petrol prices rocket.

Which falls only below manslaughter/attempted murder/actual murder in terms of severity of charge.

It's the most serious non-lethal offence against the person.

Being told to pay £300k whilst in custody for an alleged section 18 GBH is quite the 'Finding Out' part of being a collosal [redacted].

Although s.18 wounding with intent, use of weapon, 3 years minimum anyway.

If he is convicted of the alleged offence it is likely his prior suspended sentence will become activated as it was within 12 months.

It might make the vet bills less if he could communicate why he has started doing X

The rule says 'especially when pulling away from a stop' - not 'only when'.

It does apply here.

In today's "but cyclists ignore the Highway Code', how many of these drivers followed rule 223?

And accept the typical pay of a tanker deckhand for the next 12 months.

I am of course not defending their approaches or choices. But a lot of people have a 'absolutely nothing of note happened prior to 1985' take on geopolitics.

Russia's foreign policy since the advent of significant mechanisation has focused on the fact there is no geographical barrier other than distance between the Netherlands and Moscow.

China's is shaped by how close UN troops came to their border in 1950.

Both numbers exclude maintenance, and all things being equal the EV van should need less of that.

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).

This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

Making conversion therapy the official NHS policy for trans youth

Analysis: Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015 - Carbon Brief UK's energy bills were £22bn higher over the past decade than they would have been if Conservative governments had not cut “green crap” climate policies.

As we head down another cycle of people insisting the solution to sky high gas prices is burning more gas, I once again tap the article.

So we just finished watching 'How to get to heavn from Belfast' and the answer appears to be 'destroy a Range Rover' and tbh I can get on board with that.
