Suffering fuck. This prick was a guest on Off The Ball, lecturing us all on how to behave at football while lecturing us about waves & curves. Just fuck off.
Dear oh Dear. The man who told families to eat Christmas dinner off pasting tables now has a top job at the Ministry of Defence. Incredible.

ex-HMS Iron Duke towed out of Devonport to be prepared for scrapping in Portsmouth today. As we previously reported, £103M was spent on her 49-month LIFEX refit for about 16 months of operational availability before it was decided she was unseaworthy and beyond economical repair. Another £4.7M was spent on a project to add Towed Array sonar before it was cancelled. navylookout.com/another-wars… Photos K. Clarke

It currently costs the Royal Navy in excess of £1 million to shoot down a single drone using a Sea Viper missile. After the DragonFire laser system is rolled out from 2027, 5 years ahead of schedule thanks to Brexit, it will cost around £10 a shot. Such a massive saving for UK.

JUST IN: The UK Sunday Times published a major report today detailing a previously secret SAS operation in Syria in 2022, which led to a murder investigation afterwards. According to the reporting, SAS operators attempted to capture an ISIS cell leader codenamed “Bravo One" near Al-Zer. The team came under fire, pursued two individuals, and killed them after assessing an imminent threat. An initial internal review cleared the action as self-defence. The director of Britain’s special forces later referred the soldiers to police. Several were arrested (some while still deployed in Syria/Iraq), homes were raided, and they faced a double murder investigation carrying potential life sentences. Within about 48 hours of questioning, they were returned to operations and conducted further raids. The case dragged on for years, and the soldiers were cleared last year with the possibility of the case reopening. The incident allegedly plunged the SAS into a crisis, with impacts on morale, retention, and accountability.

🇬🇧 This is proper British (oh hush you progressives) A 76 year old man is before the courts with a test of equality before the law! … pay attention. Timothy Miller was arrested for wearing a burka at an anti-migration protest. So he’s turned up to court wearing it AGAIN! Because Section 157 of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 provides a defence for face coverings worn for religious observance… It doesn’t say ONLY women. It doesn’t say ONLY Muslims. And the Equality Act protects religion or belief, while Article 9 protects the freedom to CHANGE religion. And clever Mr Miller says he’s “exploring Islam” So now the court is screwed (not a legal technical term) and must decide whether his actions qualify as ‘religious observance’ Because the law must be applied EQUALLY, regardless of sex, religion or political opinions. He’s challenging whether equality before the law really means equality for EVERYONE. (I think I love him) And I think that’s bloody brilliant!.. now we have to see if the law is going to show its cards! … Will it discriminate against this white man? exploring his religion? … of course it will. And then you will know … that this brave man took one for the team. Come on Team Britain 💣

The good old days 😁
When public information films were telling you that everything - EVERYTHING - was a danger to your kids, being a parent in the 70s and 80s must have been anxiety-inducing.

There was a situation at my daughter’s school last week which left her in tears. I went in to the school the day after to let them know we were removing her with immediate effect. The head teacher tried to explain but I had no interest in her excuses or reasons. The school had a play and an open evening for next year’s new pupils, and my daughter’s class were asked to take the potential new pupils and their parents for a tour of the school and classes. My daughter is the most softly spoken, polite and friendly child you’d probably ever meet. She’s one of just 40 Jewish pupils at the school out of over a thousand children. My wife wanted her to go to a non Jewish school because she felt concerned about the security threats at Jewish schools, and I don’t have much say in the matter as I’m just the dad. Our youngest goes to a Jewish school and the security simply isn’t anywhere good enough. This would be both their last year at school in this country because we’d already made the decision to leave the country before their next school year. My oldest wears a tiny discreet Star of David pendant. It’s so inoffensive to anybody but allows her to express her Jewish faith in a small way. When it was her turn in line to greet the family she would show around, the family was a Muslim family. My daughter has no personal issue with anybody and is friendly with two Muslim girls in her class who aren’t bothered by her being Jewish. But this family clearly were. In front of everyone, the father refused to be shown around by “a Jew”. He apparently, according to several parents and a teacher, raised his voice at her, and demanded that another child show them around. Instead of the head teacher condemning his behavior and telling him to leave, she asked my daughter to step aside and asked another pupil to show them around. Nobody except other parents, non Jewish parents, came to my daughter to ask if she was even ok. She was in a flood of tears, frightened and confused. My wife got a phone call from another parent and insisted she would go fetch our daughter because she already knew what I would do had I gone there myself. But this is what we live in now. This is the new normal. For reasons of what will come next, I won’t name the school. But this is going to escalate, a lot.
