What sort of signal would UK unilateral nuclear disarmament send to Putin in the current climate ?

No they are not BECAUSE there is a deterrent capability within the alliance. Would you want to rely on France ?

Why does having nukes make us more of a target ? All the countries Russia has invaded since 1945 have been non-nuclear. If Ukraine hadn't given up their nuclear weapons in the 1990s for Russian security guarantees I don't think they would be fighting now. We don't have to compete with Russia, we are allied with the USA and France.

Selected edit from Sunak interview with the BBC: Nick Robinson - "Having your own home has got harder under the Conservatives, hasn't it ?" Rishi Sunak - "It has..."

In the latter 2 series there have been too many 'with one bound Jack was free' escapes, particularly with the engineering crew. Not a bad branch of the Trek universe, but not the best.

Depends on why you gave up on S4. I think S5 was better, but it isn't a high bar, and some of the cliffhangers stretched credulity, even in relation to what Disco had given us before.

That article goes nowhere. Brexit happened,; for some it was wonderfully liberating, for many a disaster that was foretold. Unfortunately it cannot be easily undone.

Until Farage is sanctioned by Law he is free to say what he wants. British Values.

Are you now showing antipathy towards devout Christians ? ' British Values' grant Anne Widdivombe the freedom to express her opinion, in the same way it permits you to criticise her.

And they carry on until November.

There are some in all ethnic groupings that don't comply with those principles.

Farage's second wife and her kids would probably fail.

How long do you have to practice Islamophobia before you become properly qualified ?

Shouldn't the thread title be changed to 'Holiday tips for anywhere but the Falkland Islands' ? As Al Murray put it, the Falklands are a group of islands where a war was fought over penguins - the essential ingredient for Guinness.

When their batsmen moved outside leg stump to make room our bowlers followed them. When McDermott did the same their bowler kept his line and hit the stumps.

What does the win predictor suggest ?

Looks like we will be chasing well over 200.

Wurzels rattling along at 10 per over.
