Like the war of 1914-18 (US turned up in 1917) or 1939-45 (US turned up in 1941).
You didn't need us in Vietnam either. How did that pan out for you?

If challenged: he didn't mean that.
If not: yes, he'll do it.
What?
Like in the war of 14-18 (17-18 to you) or 39-45 (41-45 to you).
We might not have won without you, but the bad guys would certainly have won without us.
In the stupid war we didn't back you (Vietnam): how did that turn out?
And (not that I'm an Archers fan) Billy Connolly's idea of using the theme as the national anthem would be an improvement.
I'm surprised someone of intelligence with any national pride isn't in favour of ditching the whole corrupt family.

Bankrupt.
As are most of his business ventures.
Never personally bankrupt though.
He walks away with his pockets stuffed with cash, while the mugs who believed him carry the can.
Gonna be the same with the USA.
Nice or not, it's not a Mini.
Lost me at 'Can I be honest?'
He might or might not, but it will be nowt to do with a sky fairy.
Anybody suggesting "karma" should just bugger off and read their horoscope.
You must admit, he's nailed the MAGA attention span.
The 70s were ushered in by such masterpieces as "Grandad" by Clive Dunn released in late 1970, and staying at No 1 for weeks and weeks in early 1971.
And that was far from the worst dross we had to listen to.
Whose unconditional surrender?
Gives me a chance to repost this. Heroes all:

Labour just announced energy price cap dropped.
Oil just spiked, completely undoing that.
Given 50% of UK energy is from renewables, now is the time to renationalise and drop the dumbass marginal price system that makes green energy needlessly as expensive as gas.
Isn't he "War Secretary"?

Well, it was good enough for Dubya, and Blair.
Bugger! Does that mean the postal vote I have in the UK is invalid?
Did one of his brain-dead acolytes google "mail in ballots" and because we in the UK call them "postal votes" it didn't come up?
Or is he just (hard to believe, I know) a lying sack of shit?
Sorry to go all Godwin's Law, but (other than the porridge he did as a young man) I don't think Adolf was ever proved guilty of anything either.
Bet he'd have won in Denton and Gorton, despite not being local.
It's "Marry in haste, repent at leisure".

I'm centre left, but years ago could read and put some trust in The Telegraph, knowing that I had to allow for its inherent right-wing bias. Now it's no longer a merely biased interpretation of facts, it's pure far-right fantasy propaganda.

I'm reminded of the squaddie in the trenches in WW1. He cracked, put his head down and ran away. After a bit his head hit a chest and he was staring at some polished boots.
"Sorry sarge, I couldn't take anymore"
"I'm not a sergeant, I'm a General".
"Shit! I didn't think I'd run that far".
Wasn't it Groucho Marx who said that?
So the Department of War (previously Defense) is not waging a war, it's acting in self-defense.
Shouldn't they change the name back?
What?
Is America planning to do that?
And for Tony Blair.
When the Windsor parasites pay for all the brand recognition they get from "The Royal This", "The Queen That" and the "Princess The Other" names that get attached to NHS hospitals, that they wouldn't be seen dead in, and who they charge rent, then people might have a legitimate complaint.
