India/Pakistan now Flexing their Muscles
These two bloody ratbag countries are now winding themselves up for a war.

What a great gesture to have the Ukrainians included in the military march.

YES, America did win WW1 for us and did win the Japanese war in WW2.
Without American efforts in the European theatre in WW2 we would have lost, but the Russians actually won WW2 in Europe.
So YES the old fart is correct, but there is no need to brag about it.
An American saying is that "the British will fight ton the last American".

A good mark for turnip head Trump. After numerous encounters trying to obtain a ceasefire in Ukraine, the continuous failures of banging Zelensky's and Putin's heads together, has finally caused the US to Jack it in.
Let the buggers sort it out between themselves.
Its about time we did the same and get on with things more important.

Ryanair threatens to cancel huge Boeing order if tariffs raise prices
The boss of Ryanair has threatened to cancel orders with American aircraft maker Boeing and buy from Chinese manufacturers instead if Donald Trump’s trade tariffs push up costs.
In a letter to top US lawmakers, Michael O’Leary criticised Washington’s trade war with Beijing and warned that a “material” impact on the price of aircraft could prompt his company to take its business elsewhere.
The Irishman said Ryanair could even turn to state-owned Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac), a threat sure to anger Mr Trump, who has made isolating China a key aim of his trade war.
Ryanair, the largest carrier in Europe, is currently waiting on the delivery of 29 Boeing 737 Max 200 planes, out of a total order of 210.
It has also ordered 150 Max 10 jets, the largest in the 737 family, for delivery from 2027 with the option of another 150 afterwards.

Should male radiographers do breast cancer screening?
Currently the breast cancer screening service known as mammagrams, is the only NHS service run by women only. But because of the shortage of female radiographers and the increasing wait for breast cancer screening, the association of radiographers are saying that male radiographers should be also performing breast cancer screening.

Free Speech - Costly Silence (Edited)
ttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/trump-uk-state-visit-parliament-mps-peers-b2736679.html?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb
MPs and peers call for Trump to be blocked from addressing parliament during UK visit?
Why?
As champions of democracy surely we can have no objection to Trump addressing Parliament.
All our MPs could watch, and say nothing.
Perhaps add in a few shots of our peerage fast asleep...

Some Trump backers think the idea of him being Pope is divine. The cardinals likely will not care
While some of President Donald Trump’s biggest backers are praising the idea that he could be the next Pope, others are saying the chances are slim and that when Conclave starts his name won’t even come up.
Trump was asked by a reporter at the White House Tuesday who he would like to succeed Pope Francis.“I’d like to be Pope,” he quipped. “That would be my number one choice.”
That comment drew a quick reaction on social media and from experts.
Republican Senator, and on-and-off Trump ally, Lindsey Graham asked the Conclave to “keep an open mind” about electing Trump as the next pope. Graham said the president was “a dark horse candidate” after the death of Pope Francis.

Do ordinary people appear in TV ads? (Edited)
As opposed to professional trained actors.
Have often wondered when the advert shows a family in the holiday ad, or the family visiting the furniture store, are they a real family or actors.
Turns out that some of the time they are just everyday families who have joined Casting agencies. Here's an example of an ad currently on GB News.

Richard Burrows: Paedophile who fled to Thailand 27 years ago jailed for 97 offences
A paedophile scout leader and school housemaster, who spent 27 years on the run using a stolen identity, has been jailed for 46 years for numerous sexual offences against young boys.
Richard Burrows, 81, systematically abused 24 boys across the Cheshire, West Midlands and West Mercia areas between 1968 and 1995.
In emails found after his eventual arrest, Burrows described “living in paradise” from 1997 after he fled to Thailand.
Earlier that year, he had been charged with a number of historical sex offences and was bailed but failed to attend a plea hearing at Chester Crown Court in December 1997.

https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-hit-new-sweeping-drone-assault-from-russia-after-donald-trump-volodymyr-zelenskyy-meeting/
Putin is fighting a war of attrition.
The original frontal assault didn't work, because he gave Ukraine months of warning signs by moving troops into position, and testing the West's opposition to another "walk-in walkover".
Now he hasn't got enough manpower or weapon supply to finish the job.
Witness his nightly blitz isn't softening up Kiev, and its citizens.
Rather the opposite.
Solution.
Support Ukraine with every shell/missile/drone/plane the West can pour in.
Do it quicker than he can ship in arms.
The sources are known, cut them off wherever possible.
Get the Saudis and their money onside too.
Donald and his cronies will want to be in the huge re-building programmes in the years ahead.
Wars are mainly won by logistics.
But turn up the media volume too, and make sure the Russian people and army know Putin is an aging dictator whose days are numbered.
Putin cannot trust his generals, and they are already discussing who to replace him with, and when.
