Re: Trump Overreach? – politicalbetting.com
a I think you'll find this will be as difficult as getting rid of Triple Lock. There is a whole host of charities (a tax law designation) that spend their monies (often government grants) on Judicial Reviews to challenge small aspects of legal interpretation of any new legislation. This chips away at the foundations of… -

a Anecdote. When the Berlin Wall came down, companies in Europe were rubbing their hands on the reconstruction projects that were touted at the time.

Lucy Letby's defence counsel - https://www.exchangechambers.co.uk/people/benjamin-myers-kc/ What his instructions were we don't know. But to suggest that he was just going through the motions is nonsense. The defence applied to have all the charges struck out on the basis that there was no case to answer. That is… -

Re: If Farage doesn’t distance himself from the odious Trump then his polling might struggle
I know why the policy should be enacted. It’s electorally damaging because there is a rump of residents that don’t want to admit their privilege is unearned. So they take against someone putting a different priority on progressing the repressed and left behind. The rump are resentful and their undeserved place may be being… -

Further - the Nott cuts were actually about strategy. The submarine service and the RAF projected a future in which surface ship were obsolete. The Soviet ASMs would wipe them out. IIRC doubt was cast on the possibly of Aegis to deal with swarm attacks. I’ve got a copy of Keegan’s book, pre-Falklands, that laid this out.… -

There’s another geographical factor affecting the channel coasts.

The photo of the prostitutes is from the 1989 film Интердевочка about a nurse who is also Leningrad's top prostitute. She quits the game to go to Sweden and marry a client. It's basically the Russian version of Pretty Woman but with a lot more misery and death. Worth a watch. -

Re: Starmer’s best day as PM but there’s always a Tweet – politicalbetting.com
Israel and Syria are at war and have been at war for 70 years since Syria tried to annihilate Israel. Attacking your enemy when you're at war is perfectly legitimate. I support Ukraine going into Kursk to put pressure on her attacker and I completely support Israel doing the same. If Syria wishes to end the war with Israel…
