Guided Missile

I am not often lost for words, but...

Great film out at the moment...

A near miss by Iran on Portsmouth Dockyard, but, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining.

If ‘letting someone use your runway’ makes you responsible for everything they do, airports are going to need very good lawyers.

So, what you are saying is that what Israel are doing to a terrorist dictatorship that wants their country to be wiped off the map "from the river to the sea" is akin to a "drive by shooting". Mate, have a word with yourself.

This is a stupid tangent: Oh and you'll understand the rent boy comment one day, as soon as the super injunction is lifted.

So, Article 5 of the NATO treaty, does not apply to Cyprus, primarily because Cyprus is not a member of NATO. It may apply to the UK bases on Cyprus, but you have Article 4 and 6 coming into play and Starmer would get a rent boy hard-on just thinking about the legal arguments against helping Trump and upsetting his muslim voters.

Calm down, dear: Why Cyprus is not in NATO There are a few historical and political reasons: Division of the island (since 1974) After the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, the island was divided between: the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus (south) the Northern Cyprus (recognized only by Turkey) Because Turkey is already a NATO member, the dispute complicates Cyprus joining the alliance. Neutral / non-aligned tradition After independence from the United Kingdom in 1960, Cyprus was associated with the Non-Aligned Movement, avoiding military blocs during the Cold War. Turkey could veto membership NATO requires unanimous approval from all members. Turkey would almost certainly veto Cypriot membership because of the unresolved territorial dispute. Current Western alignment Although not in NATO: Cyprus is a member of the European Union (since 2004). It cooperates with European security frameworks and partners with NATO countries informally. ✅ Summary: Cyprus is politically aligned with Europe but cannot realistically join NATO while the Cyprus–Turkey dispute remains unresolved.

Cyprus isn't a member of NATO and Turkey would never agree to its membership.

Meanwhile, Lammy refuses to rule out strikes on Iran Deputy Prime Minister says ‘all operational capability’ open to UK to defend country

Like I give a fuck...

I think you'll find that pretty much every soldier in the British Army was inspired by Winston Churchill during WW2 and were proud to serve Queen and Country. Monarchs are allowed to survive wars. Jesus, King Edward VIII, that well known Nazi was allowed to live in the Bahamas after the war. Politicians and dictators are normally, when supporting the losing side, hanged from the nearest lamp post. There's an idea...

Starmer proving, beyond any doubt, he is no Winston Churchill at the press conference. Do we have one single member of the armed forces that would risk his life defending his sorry ass? I don't think a single member of the cabinet would. Today is a historic moment, the day that the UK hit rock bottom.

Met Craig David in 1st Class on a BA flight to Miami. What a lovely bloke. On "deplaning" he took us to immigration on his golf cart and told us we should apply for Global Entry. A great tip from a true Southampton legend.
