There are three houses on my very short street with them 😀

I don’t read papers. I usually just go on BBC news website, it’s very biased towards the left, but then I’m only I’m only looking up simple news facts so it doesn’t make much difference to me.

Generally the only people I hear complaining about the Daily Mail are Labour and Lib Dem supporters. Always strikes me as a lazy way out, kind of like calling someone a “racist”, attempting to win an argument without actually providing any credible counter-argument.

Good to see you told him to sling his hook! My advice would be to provoke them by putting up a bigger flag, much bigger, and perhaps send a letter saying you refuse to take the flag down. Lots of people near me have flags up, many have them all year round, so I doubt the council would get very far!

The rules on what you can do on your own property need to be changed significantly. They should effectively be whatever you want unless it can be proven that it will cause significant negative effects for others.

lol 😀

We know what you think John, no need to keep repeating yourself.

@Jonesy
Completely agree. Also there seems to be a worrying trend of people forecasting “there won’t be anymore big wars” usually followed shortly by a massive war. Resources could be a big factor as you say, if they could take them by force then they could be tempted to do so.

@Frosty
I would point out that John gave no source for the 8 missiles figure he quoted. I’ve else seen 10 and 14 quoted in previous debates on this issue, so there is no reason to suspect his figure is any more correct! We should have enough missiles left to fill 2 subs completely, and probably a 3rd, not that deployment rotation would permit unless one was armed in dock. On warheads, the stockpile has gone down, but production capacity has gone up.

If you’re going to go with such a large number of TLAM then you’d be able to afford the Trident instead. A couple tens of TLAM could certainly be defended against with air defences without ridiculous expenditure.
