But this man, is like a light in the dark. Someone who can see what is happening, how things are going, and if only, there were thousands, no millions in this country and in Europe that would stand up and say, and be counted , as he is on this phone in. I’d like to shake his hand

Members of our armed forces are leaving at an alarming rate and recruitment is very low.
We have a total military size of about 150,000 (56% Army) including the Army, Navy and Air Force. It is the size of a pea nut compared to most other countries. There are 3 times as many young people in our Scouting organisation.
Great Britain of yesteryear is now a tiny mouse that roars. -

The European Union must commit to purchasing “large scale” amounts of US oil and gas or face tariffs, according to US president-elect Donald Trump.
In his latest trade war threat, the incoming GOP president spoke out against Brussels via his account on social media site Truth Social.
Trump said: "I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas.
Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!" -
I've just spent several days without a proper water supply because a valve jammed at the Cheam water treatment plant. It was either very low pressure of totally dried up. They supplied bottled water so I could at least get a cuppa and I used rainwater from the garden to flush the loo, but I couldn't have a shower for four days.
This morning I received four separate letters from SES Water, two of which had identical contents.
It just adds insult to injury that they're wasting money on postage when the infrastructure is failing.
They'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. -
Should HTS have their terrorist label removed.
The new leaders of Syria, HTS, are a proscribed terrorist group because of links to Al Quaeda and ISIS. But they have never attacked foreign targets or civilian targets in Syria. They have only fought against the Assad regime.

Further to a couple of of posts about Musk and other super-rich interfering in the democratic process... Obviously we aren`t the only ones to question it, but so far no ones done anything. Maybe that`s about to end.

Politicians and Polio (Edited)
The lawyer assisting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in selecting federal health officials for the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump has filed a petition urging the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine.
The vaccine has safeguarded millions of people for decades against a virus that can cause paralysis or death.
Trump said he's going to direct Kennedy to study the rising rates of autism diagnoses and that he'd consider getting rid of some vaccines for children, falsely suggesting autism may be caused by vaccines.
"We're going to have a big discussion. The autism rate is at a level that nobody ever believed possible. If you look at things that are happening, there's something causing it," Trump said.
