A recent study in the US says an increase in ME cases is likely linked to COVID infections.

Russia still launching attacks on civilian targets, causing multiple fatalities including children.

They really do need a better process for vetting potential candidates; "A Reform UK candidate has been suspended from the party after posts on social media revealed his support for serial sex abuser Jimmy Savile" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2xey4m2ygo

Is thst s penguin suit ?

Oh Wise and Grest One could you explain to we thickos the rationale behind imposing import tariffs on uninhabited islands but not on North Korea or Somalia ?
-
Yes and yes. And so are the fuckwit acolytes he has in his Cabinet. He thinks that tariffs are a solution to a problem, but hasn't a clue as to what they are or how they work.

What Trump has done is nothing to do with 'reciprocal' tariffs. He has looked at trade imbalances and come up with a second grade formula to try to eradicate them. Not for one moment has any actual thought gone into working out how the trading relationships are structured or have come about, hence the lunacy of the Falklands and Lesotho situations, let alone the penguins on Heard and MacDonald Islands. He is totally financially illiterate.

I look forward to seeing how the production of diamonds, currently mined in and imported from Lesotho, is transferred to the US.

Tesco would be dative, and therefore the plural would be Tescis.

So Donnie stopped the war in Gaza ? Tell that to the paramedics and humanitarian workers killed a few days ago.

It's like deja-vu all over again.

MacDonald Island is an active volcano, so presumably you could get quick fried penguin or steamed seal if you time your visit right. #McTasty

Heard and MacDonald Islands have got off lightly,the Falklands are subject to a tariff rate of 41%. Presumably, somebody in the US bought a couple of sheepskin rugs, whilst nobody in Port Stanley has bought an iPhone or Tesla.

Councillors have no shame.

This is starting to read like a script for The Thick Of It that was discarded as being too unbelievable.

From the BBC "According to the list released by The White House on X, the Trump administration will place a 10% tariff on goods from the Heard and McDonald Islands - an Australian territory that is closer to Antarctica than anywhere else, and is completely uninhabited, ( other than penguins ). The US president also announced a 10% tariff on goods from Svalbard and Jan Mayen, two remote Norwegian territories not far from the North Pole, that have a combined population of around 2,500 people. It is unclear what goods are exported by any of these territories."

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
badgerx16 replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
Chris Philp, the shadow Home Secretary, has said the Starmer Government has been "far, far too slow" in negotiating a trade deal with the US. What were the Tories doing since Brexit ? -

In response to your second line, ( added well after my original reply ); why are you so insecure ? Why do you think slinging insults makes you the "winner", or the "better person" ? It doesn't.
