The most British German you'll ever meet 😎 πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ A decidedly non-eclectic mix of wargaming, politics, Ukraine and memes. BT once addressed me as "Dr Volts" so that is now my secret Cold-War Supervillain identity. Rhubarb is not food and you know it πŸ₯¬πŸ‘Š

It kind of feels like this should have been a catchphrase/recurring scene in a US 80s sitcom set in smalltown Minnesota

Even in the Frank Miller fantasy, the story of 300 is about King Leonidas being so absurdly bad at politics and statecraft that he was left largely without allies and got maneuvered out of being able to deploy HIS OWN ARMY against an existential invasion threat.

I bought the USB remake of the Competition Pro a few years back.
They had replaced the super-chonk rubber ring for centering with a puny metal spring.
...and that was a No from me.

First do everything to stop young people entering the country and then go, "Oh noes, penalise people because they're not having enough young people" - cool, cool, cool, cool.

I think Starmer's cooked, for what it's worth.

He admits he knew Mandelson had maintained his relationship with Epstein. He admits to have accepted Mandelson’s lies which seems to have been the extent of the security vetting.

There's a massacre in Druzhkivka.
At least 7 are dead after cluster munitions were used on the town's market - breath-taking war crimes.

The town, now very near the frontline in free Donetsk, was also hit by aerial bombs.

8 others are also injured with 3 tower blocks hit.

PM Tusk on Epstein: it is very likely that this was a planned operation by the Russian KGB.

More and more leads are pointing to suspicions that this unprecedented pedophilia scandal was co-organized by Russian intelligence services.

I had three UK gov website logins before this started. I thought, hey, will finally be able to cut this down, bring this together.

I have seven now.
