Invading Southern Lebanon is far trickier than steaming through Gaza.

Britain is a socialist country because of the Tory Governments?

I agree, but Israel could cut the guff about using "smart" weapons in 'targetted strikes', and doing their utmost to minimise collateral casualties. There is no such thing as a "smart" bunker buster. Juust be honest, they want to hit their targets, and nothing is going to get in their way.

Pure whataboutery, but I didn't see this 6 year old girl's image on Israel's hit list;

Trade switching from the EU to other overseas markets, import and export, results in more 'food miles'.

None of this will stop people voting for him.

"Winkle" - the biography of Britain's greatest pilot, Eric 'Winkle' Brown. From being adopted as a baby by an Edinburgh couple, to holding the Guinness record for the most types of aircraft flown by a pilot, via visiting pre-war Nazi Germany, a wartime career in the Fleet Air Arm that continued on into the 1970's, flying alongside and befriending future NASA astronauts as a test pilot, helping build the reformed German naval air arm and being adopted as an honorary Kreigsmarine veteran, serving as Naval Attache in Bonn ( where John Le Carre lodged with him and his family whilst completing "A Small Town in Germany" ), and sailing with Prince Philip. A complex and irritable character, but the encountering and name dropping of so many important historical figures from the 1930s up to the 2000s evidences an amazing journey.

Rough calculation; In the last 2 seasons LD has scored approx 1800 runs @ 50 and taken 103 wickets @ 22.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

So, some right wing bullshitter spouts innuendo regarding a supposed affair. How did KS 'bring it on himself' ? -

And another feature of SM is that it allows the unleashing of unfounded rumour that can be rapidly spread around the globe. Once it is "in the wild" how does the target ever completely kill it dead ? -

What is important is whether the 'secret' is based in fact or is just baseless SM rumour being alluded to as a deflection, whataboutery, or in the hope that by simply shaking the tree something has to fall out. ( Nudge, nudge, wink, wink ). -

Speculation and innuendo, perhaps relating to this; https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/19947018.baroness-chapman-paid-false-claim-affair-keir-starmer/ -
I think the problem is with Chinese airbags in general; there have been many news stories from the States and elsewhere of airbags either not deploying or triggering unexpectedly, not just in EVs.

He is loaded anyway so £100 probably wouldn't register with him. -

Ancient is at least pre-medieval, and 'early medieval' is around the time of the earliest Anglo-Saxon settlement in Britain. However you frame it, King Charles and Oliver Cromwell are not characters from ancient history.

Another one from ''Auntie''.......…. The BBC have a report on an 'ancient' shipwreck in Orkney - the ship is thought to be from the 17th century. That is NOT ancient - the Romans were ancient, the period of the English Civil War is not.
