I think it says a lot of the moral fibre of Trump and his sycophants that they seem unable to conceive of someone standing and fighting.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is governed by monsters, but they will die for their beliefs, and Trump can't grasp that.

(This is slice and dice in Norwich btw)

A monstrosity in a glass - a light brown milkshake with whipped cream and a broken open cream egg on top.

Trying to eat healthy and my favourite gaming cafe deploys what they term the 'Oreo creme egg freakshake'

Generally speaking it is hard to recover the full costs - often the defendant ends up still having to cover quite significant suma from their own pocket.

But how absurd that a claim that's refuted by the claimant's own video costs £146k to dispose of.

And - worst than absurd - anyone who couldn't afford £146k would have had to give up. That's what our libel laws do to freedom of speech.

And my Electricity *checks notes* currently 11p per kWh.

Britain would have no greater policy failure than trading wind back to oil.

The Norwich - Tilbury pylon route is generating lots of complaints, don't worry.

2/3rds of those hectares are offshore and the finished site will be around 80ha.

Can we please use actual numbers.

Solar is good! It is cheap! It can be blended with good production and biodiversity enhancements.

But lets not pretend it is even remotely comparable to nuclear in land use efficiency.

Sizewell C will have a generating capacity of 3.2GW, at a capacity factor of about 90% so about 25TWh per year. It occupies around 80ha, so 315GWh per hectare.

A hectare of solar panels yields about 0.5GWh per hectare.

Under English law, this lends itself to one of law teachers' favourite cases, the House of Lords case of Tolley v Fry of 1931: www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKH...

Forstater.

So weird and sad.

The gender crits just care about women's rights. That's why they spent their money and their Wednesday evening turning up to a trans solidarity concert, and then posted about it. Very normal!

Even a half full Wembley Arena is 6,000 people.

Nvm seen in christ alive that's too much cringe before coffee.

What fresh hell have I missed?

I suppose "techbros inventing renting (but worse)" makes a change from "techbros inventing buses (but worse)."

It has been 14 years since the last time powers under section 13 of the Public Order Act 1986 were used to impose an outright ban on a march. Note that this is a one-month ban, starting 11 March, applying to all related marches

Hard to overstate how nauseated I feel reading the Senator's objections and seeing them as "He's wasting your money, some soldiers might die committing war crimes, and they didn't have a plan" and not "They are killing thousands upon thousands of innocent people and children."

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.
