  1. Europe has a well developed defence industry. They can order from there rather than support US industries.

  2.  @mariajurgens9889  Show us those photos. It’s time to put up or shut up.
    17
  3. OK. What is the full story.
    14
  4.  @kingtualah9808  The US is no longer in a position to control any other country.
    13
  5. If someone is in a country on a tourist visa & they then decide they need asylum. Doesn’t international law require them to claim it in that country ?
    11
  6. Bo-Jo told the world that he had negotiated a wonderful deal with the Northern Ireland protocol. How can he even think of now saying it’s a bad deal ? When the English voted leave did they hope it would get rid of the troublesome Northern Ireland. Hive it off to the south. How keen are the south to have them ?

  7.  @MrVidman14  Many of the young & once young have been helped up by the Princes Trust & Duke of Edinburgh Awards. They and others feel that The King is very relevant.

  8. If contracts have been signed it the least expensive option may be to carry on using the barges.

  9. Bring on some cooler weather. I can’t enjoy the heat here in a UK midlands city. It’s hot enough to affect my health.
    7
  10.  @CoachouseFilms  I can second that.
    7
  11.  @stevendelucas6311  I also wonder why he skipped over to Scotland rather the being in The States for the trial.
    7
  12. The European’s have a well established defence sector. They can just order from their people rather than support US industry.

  13.  @RoughWalkers it’s all good copy. Why let it go to waste ?
    6
  14. @ If that’s true no wonder people became upset.

  15.  @ticklingoscillators1852  I see him as perhaps a privileged white male who thinks rules don’t apply to him.

  16. Why did the UK electorate vote to end the Dublin agreement. Under that people could be sent back to the EU.

  17. A mother’s fight to save her son ?
    5
  18. This MP was interviewed on the BBC Today today programme on Monday 3rd June. She appeared to not even know her subject. The interviewer ran rings round her.

  19. The government may be quite happy with what appears to have happened. It will discourage others from interfering in things they are happy with.

  20.  @andytaurus62  The money goes into the public purse.
    4
  21. The money contributes to the public purse. Falling incomes affect public services.

  22.  @rolandsmith2141  But we all have mental health. For some it’s better than others.
    4
  23.  @dominiclane8538  We learned in the past. No unions, workers get screwed. Rather like BA & the rail companies a trying to do now.

  24.  @nodruj8681 International law appears to say Global Britain is obliged to honour asylum rights.
    4
  25. Bo Jo gave a very strong message. Vote leave & the health service will have money coming out of it’s ears. It’s a pity he he no longer there to ask where the money went.

  26. Sounds like a sensible lady. About the only people that come well out divorce are lawyers & estate agents. Been there done it could not afford the T shirt.

  27. ⁠ @onemanarmy-y2z It’s no surprise. Been talked about for at least 20 years.

  28. I keep hearing about China going for zero Covid & lockdowns. But no one ever seems to mention their vaccination status. Do they use lockdowns rather than vaccines ?

  29. I don’t remember anything like that.

  30. @ Sod who he does and doesn’t walk with. London now has cleaner air.
    3
  31.  @keithwalker3460  I also think modern slavers has a lot to do with it. The UK electorate voting to leave the Dublin agreement has helped the smugglers out no end.

  32. Is anyone selling photos/videos via OnlyFans checking who is buying them.

  33. The army fast response team were there in hours.

  36.  @ScottishRoss27  The Dover, Calais border is already a real hassle. Do we need more borders ?
    3
  37. Good that any chance of disrupting protests were stopped. Like many we did not have a TV so did not see the last Coronation. King Charles is younger than I am. I may not be around for the next.

  38. ULEZ is not a congestion charge. It’s about air pollution.

  39. International Law. Global Britain is subject to them.

  44. He did not encourage people to do somethings that could lead to loss of life.
    2
  45.  @GemmaHentsch  Yes but in the country they are in at present. Not sure international law says they can invade Poland.

  46.  @jimjiminyjaroo300  Ask Belarus the ones who are herding these people toward their border.
    2
  47.  @lin-s1952  Make a change from UK pensioners being accused of being well off so much so we are disadvantaging the young.
    2
  48. Perhaps the English speakers want to reach the UK because they are English speakers. Possibly because they have friends and relatives in England.

  49. Mental health apart. Haven’t we all done something we don’t talk about.
    2
  50.  @douglascrockatt3101  So what ?
    2
  51. The Conservatives not Labour sold off the water companies. Labour would like to renationalise. Unfortunately they may have difficulty finding the money to do that.

  52.  @kb4432  Just who’s pocket are his wages being forced out of ?

  53.  @outoforbit-  But which one is more culpable the John or the one selling themselves. After all no prostitution no customers.

  55.  @ticklingoscillators1852  He appears to have turned up a the immigration window without without the required documentation. Apparently has not come up with it since.
    2
  56.  @poethefallen1333 They will be able to do that. Musk has said he sees deleting even misinformation as censorship.

  57. No it does not. The wind starts them turning. No other input required. Windmills have worked that way for centuries.

  58.  @MyName-cw4yr  How can up claim an efficiency when there is no power going in. It’s all out.
    2
  59.  @MyName-cw4yr  If your not putting electricity in. Only getting it out where is anyone going to get a figure of 30% efficiency from. Remember not putting power in only getting it out.

  60. There will some in reserve..
    2
  61.  @arthurmackrell8154  What about boys putting themselves out there to feed a drug habit. OnlyFans. Do they have anything to answer for ?

  62. There used to be a torpedo research facility on Portland.

  63. The clean air is partly due to the Mayor. At least one think to be pleased about.

  64. Why should he be charged. Is it a general thing in the U.S.
    2
  65. @dondoodatWill the French allow to happen. Can’t see it myself. Not after Our Nigel did his best to get up their noses.
    2
  66.  @joefather6084  That’s one I have not heard before. Many Brits appear to be saying the government should just leave them to become destitute.
    2
  67. Done for a very good reason. Time taken to get the different vaccines rolled out.
    2
  68. The very fact that his in-laws are in Gaza could cause him problems. Also in the current situation how can the U.K. Government do a blind thing.
    2
  69.  @zakjuly6721  With freedom comes responsibly.
    2
  70. I also hope so. Because if reports about vaccination rates are true. The old are pretty vulnerable.
    2
  71.  @dominiclane8538  Same thing said when unions first came into existence. A lot of employers were screwing the workers which triggered the creation of unions.
    2
  72. The money charged goes into the public purse. Paying toward public services.
    2
  73. Can’t see a problem. One Nigel Farage has do the Brexit golden dawn the UK economy will be overflowing with cash.

  74.  @TS111WASD  Each to their own.

  75. If Trump removes all those cancer giving windmills there won’t be so much wind. So it’s win, win.

  76. Shouting won’t make a blind bit of difference.

  77. IR35 although not perfect seems like a good start in stopping people dodging tax.
    2
  78. May I ask which god. There are so many.
    2
  79. For me the wrong type of rain is heavy rain that does not have time to soak in. Instead running down the garden & into the lane.
    2
  80.  @olliereed4206  It certainly has. I remember when Northern Ireland and the Republic had a hard border. Many years ago I met people from Northern Ireland on work courses. They said. Things changed for the better when that border effectively melted away. The border is back. Not with customs posts & watch towers etc but it’s there OK. Is it time for it to melt away again by reversing the partition of Ireland ? The U.K. leaving the EU has brought the border halfway back.
    2
  81. How on earth can England be stealing Scotland’s water.
    2
  82.  @explorer47422  Yep. I have not seen or heard anything either.
    2
  83. Desalination plants cost a bob or to build. Very expensive to run. Would people be happy having to pay more for water. A cheaper option could be to make sure everyone is on a meter. A water meter has lead me to reduce consumption.
    2
  84. Is it correct that aircraft have flown into the airport only to leave less than half full because people can’t get into the airport. The Taliban have also reportedly said they won’t let Afghans to leave. So how many of his staff will they let onto the airport. Just because someone says “I can get my people and animals onto the airport.” Does not mean the Taliban will allow it to happen. He mentioned a car being flown out. Did the Brits fly it out ? He did not claim they did. If they did not he has no basis for argument.
    2
  85.  @robinbailey7460 Best pay more tax to build prisons.

  86. I am glad not to be airport staff.

  88. Why are we not hearing anything from Russia ?

  89.  @boofuu3145  Can we please have that in English.
    1
  90. @ They can do it because they can. It’s no surprise it’s been on the cards for at least a couple of decades. It’s the reason a fried moved out two,decades ago. Anyone who has moved there in that time knew it was bound to,happen in the end. The almost inevitably effected house prices.

  91. I thought the Chinese are communist. How can that be right wing. CCP stands for Chinese Communist Party.

  92.  @ashleyw6728 Would like to think about the cost involved.

  93.  @zakjuly6721  I would be concerned about any country who did not imprison people. This tennis player can leave the country anytime he wishes.

  94.  @jessicaandtrains7768  I don’t get your point. Passports & visas have surrounded travel for some centuries.
    1
  95. Hopefully towards a safer world.

  96. Ms Patel did promise that she would get the number of people coming into the country down to zero within a year. At over 35,000 crossing by small boat in 2021 alone she is behind schedule. Perhaps she is trying to keep her promise.
    1
  97.  @lin-s1952 Makes a change from pensioners being vilified for holding all the money. Screwing the youth. Now we are suddenly poor.

  98. A revolution in the U.K. ? Most U.K. citizens are too smart for that to happen.

  99. How many people their age have not had a slice on the side ?

  100.  @royboy565  Many have attended the STD clinic.
    1
  101.  @royboy565  They are reportedly low protein. So a person would need a plate full. Any idea on what could be the ideal seasoning ?
    1
  102. Not that easy. Global Britain is subject to International Law so it could be difficult.
    1
  103. President Trump agreed a withdrawal with the Taliban. Then left Biden with the sticky end of the stick.
    1
  104.  @lemcakes32422  Why should that be ? I don’t hear people shouting about uranium being about because of all the other wars happening around the world.
    1
  105.  @lemcakes32422  Keep up. Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons when the Soviet Union collapsed.

  106. Which god. There are so many. The Hindus alone have about ten major gods.
    1
  107.  @sweeta17  Speak for yourself. He has reportedly more or less just purchased some photos of a type available from a U.K. Adult Shop or through OnlyFans. Apparently not even criminal.
    1
  108.  @sweeta17  I did not say that. Also did not mention anyone with a drugs habit selling photos to feed that habit. Should we be looking for a drug dealer ?
    1
  109. Would many people be happy about the boat people being given U.K. military training ?

  110. Reporting too early can scuttle any investigation.

  111. Cows are dangerous. In the U.K. they kill more humans than any other animal. They will often kill dogs at the same time.
    1
  112. I think there is a lot of truth in your assessment. I voted remain but the years of messing around left me wanting to ‘Get it done.’ I did not vote conservative. We do have a Labour MP. I feel sure J Corbyn spending time as Labour leader frightened lots of folks.
    1
  113. If people buy goods made in China instead of Spain. Factories close.
    1
  114. To me this piece comes across as mostly word salad to fill air time.

  115. I am a bit surprised taken this long to happened. Israel has been talking the mick for years.
    1
  116. Who is ?
    1
  117.  @steventhomas8514 No they didn’t.
    1
  118. Looks as though JSO’s ‘Flash Mob’ tactics are working for them. Using 150 plus people spread around the the city. The police have very little of turning up before JSO have done a bunk.
    1
  119. Labour has not promised to renationalise water companies. Said they would like to but will need to find the money to do it.
    1
  120. Let’s hope Covid does not overwhelm the Chinese health system.

  121. President Trump will be getting rid of the cancer giving windmills. Will also cut wind events.

  122.  @rinibunny4576 The 1960s Sam Fox appeared on a regular basis.

  123.  @RedjiyThornton  We had some of those. Unfortunately they didn’t do well in clay soil.

  124. The chap who is now King Charles is been instrumental in smoothing things over the decades. Has been very useful behind the scenes.
    1
  125. It’s being funded by people paying smugglers a fortune. The UK used to be able to send people back to the EU under the Dublin agreement. The UK electorate voted to leave the EU and end that. The UK is now talking about sending people to Africa instead. Did the UK electorate shoot itself in the foot ?
    1
  126. I would really like to know which EU based laws Ms Truss wishes to scrap. Has she put out a list ?
    1
  127. Covid 19 was a pandemic. Which means there is little chance anyone has missed it.

  128. Something like that most have needed immense power.

  129. Annoying.

  131.  @icantthinkofaname9935  A presidential visit is not uncommon. Haven’t at least the last four presidents visited Ireland ?

  132.  @gary2632 That down to people threatening his life. Even been people encouraging targeting of his home and family.

  133. Heard elsewhere that the jet had dumped fuel on the drone. Would that mean it had been urinated on at a great hight ?

  134. Are we really sure they were not given the jump or be pushed option ?
    1
  135.  @suegarton3700  Yep. That is what Mr Musk more or less said during an interview. Asked about his X reduced staff. How could they insure that content was honest & trustworthy. He did not reply directly. Purely saying he did not wish to be involved in censorship.

  136.  @TheLastCrumb.  There will still be some in reserve.

  137.  @TheLastCrumb.  May I take it that haven’t spent any time in the military.

  138.  @JohnnyMotel99  Interesting. Just what percentage of water mains are cast iron ?

  139. I have had the same response. Mention climate change & suddenly I’m an idiot.

  140. Good job they were still looking.

  141. Build in the 1950s they will have been past their collapse by date.
    1
  142. Also graves to be prepared in Russia. All because President Putin decided to copy Hitler’s invasion of Poland. Didn’t end well for Hitler & Germany. Putin may end up doing the same for Russia.

  143. Good !

  145. The money goes into the public purse.

  146. The local MP can in effect do sweet Fanny Adams. He/she can jump up & down all they like. But in the end the people at the top allocated the resources.

  147. Is it true the normal winter rains didn’t come leaving the area tinder dry ?
    1
  148. $750 was an emergency payment to help getting past the first few days. The real help does come.

  149. It’s heavy rain that does not have time to sink in.

  150. Why on earth did the UK electorate vote to leave the Dublin agreement ? Under that people could be sent back to the EU.

  151. Putin said there could be war. He’s become a joke.

  152. Everyone is free to have their own opinion. The reporter asked for,his & got it.

  153. Can’t see what the fuss is about. Two nukes were dropped on Japan they rebuilt the cities more of less straight away. People have lived in the exclusion zone for decades. The wildlife appears to be doing very well.
    1
  154.  @patverum9051  The only thing different about the radiation in the exclusion zone is that it has decreased. People have lived there for decades & studies have shown the wildlife is thriving. Also would their commanders have sent troops into the area if they thought it was very dangerous ? There may be a few extra cancer deaths in time. But obviously not enough for the military command to be bothered about.
    1
  155. A very good question. I can’t see how it could be.

  156. I have had my 6th booster. Doesn’t seem to have done me any harm.

  157. But Covid is not just a sniffle. I’ve had it. Just a sniffle does not kill so many people or put them into an ICU on a ventilator.

  158. How many coal plants are left. I thought they were more less gone. Or had been converted to biomass like Drax.

  162. Is there any truth about the lad & OnlyFans.
    1
  163. Does anyone know how much water is leaking after the water companies stop tap at the edge of a property. Water leaks after that tap are usually the customers responsibility. How many customers are not fixing their own water leaks ?

  164.  @boota1979 Someone has used all of them on previous occasions.

  165. President Trump has made it clear that climate change is a scam. He is going to scrap all of the Biden Administration’s efforts. Including the wind turbines which he claims give people cancer. He is also promising to promote the use of fossil fuels. The real worry. His base which is aprox 50% of the U.S. electorate believe him.
    1
  166. I think that this may lead to a new variant could appear would be more accurate.

  167. Who is Bishop Ball ?
    1
  168.  @zaksnoop4441  I am pretty sure most of us have discovered or could find out that someone we know is that way inclined. Back in the 70s I helped out on a Probation Service youth program. The group leader ended up going down for pedo activities.  I or any of the other volunteers had any idea he was into that sort of thing.
    1
  169. His idea to achieve peace is reportedly. He would just hand over a large part of Ukraine to Russia. How come he even thinks he’s in a position to do that ?
    1
  170. Liz Truss says she intends to break the unions. Just another attack in the working person.
    1
  171.  @richietaylor9870  It’s a pity that the police have had to been there in defence of people causing disruption. Something that people don’t see as something the police should be doing. Perhaps it’s a pity that some did not lock themselves to things. The police were really busy & would not have been able to stop the crowd giving them a good kicking.
    1
  172.  @BlyatimirPootin  Perhaps they should not have been stopped locking themselves to things. The police were too busy to stop the crowd finally give disrupters a good kinking.
    1
  173. @ 20mph limits have been used in Scotland for decades. Why do southerners have problems ?
    1
  174. @ Not about cutting carbon emissions. It’s about improving air quality. The EV set up is expensive. But running two EVs off solar and a PowerWall means no trips to the gas station. Commercial chargers only used on trips. Apart from tyres EVs need as much maintenance as the washing machine.
    1
  175. @ I don’t drive like that in 20mph zones. Why would anyone want to ? It’s not about emissions it’s about safety. I also find it easier to get parking when traffic is slower.
    1
  176.  @maxpowerii7368  Do two many young people now start work in their twenties & in hock when their grandparents started earning at 15. Started paying tax & National Insurance at 15. They had lower expectations. 70 years ago most workers did not have central heating, double glazing, fitted carpets etc. Factories worked a 48 hour week. Another thing that has an effect is the the world population has more than tripled in the last seventy years. That is going to have an affect on property prices. Things are going the get worse. Take a look at a graph showing population increase. 700,000 people now displaced in Sudan alown. How many from there & elsewhere are heading this way. Heading here because the U.K. is seen as much richer than they are. The U.K. is no longer part of the EU we are now alone against the world.

  177. She really does need to get on with the Chinese. Either that or be taken over by Trump as your Jeremy Clarkson suggests.

  178. How long will it be before they can run the next shot. If remember in the past it’s been months of repairs needed before they could run another.

  179.  @northleedspoppa  Perhaps a good kicking instead. Cheaper than jail.

  180.  @MrRight-hn5pq  How would people in the U.K. affect International Law. About 70 million in the U.K. up against around 8 Billions.

  181.  @MrRight-hn5pq  Global Britain is subject to International Law so not we can’t.

  182.  @cloudbasenirvana  Why on earth should the British people hate R Sunak ?
    1
  183.  @Mikeyc2k6  Like many others I prefer Sunak to Truss so he can’t be the most hated person in the land.
    1
  184.  @Mikeyc2k6  I know a couple of small businesses that trust him. They would not have got through the pandemic without his action. He is trying to be in a position to help the NHS. Liz Truss says she will cut taxes plus many protecting laws that we have as an overhang from EU membership. The NHS desperately needs money to get it on track. I suppose we could all go private instead.

  189. I am about the same age as the lady. My take on. ‘Not my King.’ Is that some just don’t have a grasp on reality.
    1
  190.  @1SeanPG  The elderly lady is one of what exactly. Saying. ‘Not my King’ is like me saying my legal wife is not my wife. Saying that could start people asking. I am showing signs of dementia. I wonder the same about the the ‘Not my King’ people.

  191. Is it true the usual winter rain didn’t arrive. Leaving the area tinder dry ?

  210. A large percentage of Chinese old people are apparently either unvaccinated or under vaccinated. Looks like we may need to wait before reaching your conclusion. A new wave of Covid is starting in China we need to see how that pans out.
