A nice chicken dinner this evening; chicken breast braised/roasted in wine, stock and shallots with herby garlic mash, carrots, asparagus and a creamy chicken sauce made with the cooking wine/stock liquid. Wine Society Chinon to drink.

People who take this crap seriously are all mad, scary mad because they appear to believe it. They could cause a global nuclear war.

Yes. Matthew Elliott has had links with Russia going back a long way. He co-founded the Conservative Friends of Russia and was also a co-founder of the TaxPayers' Alliance. His wife has been the chairwoman of Republicans Overseas UK. He is at the heart of everything bad for the UK.

I said in 2016, after the referendum, that leaving the EU was only stage one in an ongoing right-wing coup planned in Tufton Street and aimed at overthrowing the NHS, Welfare State and our human rights so that US corporations could take the country over and exploit us.

Thank you. I need to find rules I can use them with. They are chunky figures, a bit too big to mix in with Perry Spanish for the Peninsular War.

I did a Spanish force ages ago. Sadly, I've only used them twice, because I decided that I'm not really a fan of the rules;

I think I'll give it a miss. I doubt that he'll be discussing the destruction and impoverishment of the Mughal Empire by the EIC and the Raj.

I am horrified to discover from my nextdoor neighbour that the people who recently moved in next to them are not only clearing all the well-established bushes from their garden but are also cutting down a tree that is probably 100 years old (no preservation order). Where will all the birds go?

That game did my blood pressure no good at all. You're right about Gabriel and Hincapie. Absolute monsters.

And they chose Spiked to make their announcement? That's hardly a ringing endorsement of their credibility.

Trump's entire government is the same. None of them are any use at all.

Well, he certainly got that wrong. I play a lot of historical games, mainly WW2 using Chain of Command and Sharp Practice for ACW, Napoleonic and 18th century.

Farage is NOT a patriot and doesn't give a toss about the UK. He is a grifter who would sell everyone and everything in this country just so he could make some money out of it.

British is, in modern terms (i.e. since 1707) a political identity, not an ethnic one.

Mad people who shouldn't be anywhere near power of any kind.

I rather agree with the government. If a government wins a majority in a general election, it has the legal right to govern until its term of office expires, so long as it has a majority in parliament. Allowing a public vote of no confidence would destroy the concept of parliamentary sovereignty.

Perhaps Trump is the Antichrist?

Don't overdo it. Slow and steady for the win.

UK β€˜took far too long’ to let US use its airbases to attack Iran, Trump says US president also β€˜very disappointed’ in Keir Starmer over UK government’s deal to hand Chagos Islands to Mauritius

I don't see why Trump had to use any UK military facilities at all. We should have told him No and stuck to that. His war, he should use his own facilities.

Goals are goals, and Arsenal have scored more and conceded fewer than any other team in the Prem. What matters now is not dropping any more points. That is all that matters,

I think it should be whole body of the attacker in front of the defenders.

The Pentagon says it’s β€˜lethalitymaxxing’. Why has β€˜incel’ slang crossed into the mainstream? With the rise of influencer Clavicular and β€˜looksmaxxers’, sexist language from niche memes has infiltrated official government accounts and NYT headlines

Why on earth would anyone want to talk like a bunch of objectionable, misogynistic far-Right wankers?
