Well... we think it was the Ayatollahs son... he was standing near a mirror at the time...

Well... we think it was the Ayatollahs son... he was standing near a mirror at the time...
The fact that he didn't spontaneously combust proves that god doesn't exist...
We don't argue that appeasement was shit... it was... but there really was no good alternative to it.
Can we start with him.
Then it might be just one?
Its just that Chamberlain died of cancer after Dunkirk... and Churchill made sure he took all the credit when the post war histories were written.
(This is a hill I will die on)
Lets remember that after the Munich agreement, "peace on our time" procurement was placed for Hurricanes and Spitfires, defence planning for heavy bombers and tanks...
And even then, we barely had enough until lend-lease...
Poorly remembered by history for having made a no-win choice. Sure we could have marched to war years earlier when the Army have no tanks, and RAF was still using Biplanes...
Chamberlain played for time with diplomacy, which ended up being a poor choice, but there real wasn't an alternative...
The confusion is deliberate... Cannons 'flood the zone'... add so much shit that you have to sift through each individual turd to prove the truth...
I think the problem is that WE are trying to find reason and meaning to their actions applying proper logic and our experience of proper politics and diplomacy.
Those bastards are not playing the same game...
Sitting with my wife today in Hospice as she fades away... I needed something from Terry today.

Katie hates world book day ever since that time she was roasted for sending her kids to school dressed as the author of Mein Kampf...
2026. Shit.
Also. Isn't airspace still closed? How would a civilian charter get through that?
I mean... have we actually tried this?
Bonus points if its someone else's child...

Its been a bit weird getting news from Influencers... ๐คฃ
I obviously meant 'bomb shelter' but a Bob Shelter may also be useful... depending on what the Roberts you know are like?
He has surrendered already?
OK. I have questions.
1. How do you access the ladder behind the hinged opening?
2. How does the Air conditioning condenser work after is gets buried in concrete?
3. Once the wood from the decking has burned off, how are you hiding the entrance?
4. What does AI need with a bob shelter?

Indeed. Not everyone that voted for Brexit was a racist. But all racists voted for Brexit... and in the process felt that LOTS of other people agreed with them...
I am Lawful Neutral. But aspire to be Lawful Good
Another one for the wish list...
Bentley fitted with a Rolls-Royce Merlin from a Spitfire!
I mean... his judgement day is coming...
Just after Brexit 10 years ago, a week after in fact... I found myself at a social event with my wife. Later in the evening I overheard another attendee whisper to his companion "we voted to leave to get rid of people like that..."
My wife is Chinese.

Fancy a lift? Hahahahahahaha... PSYCHE!
