The US can Switch Off our Trident Nuclear Missiles
What a load of crap when a foreign nation can switch off our nuclear deterrent.
These missiles are on active service 24/7 on instant readiness. Its no bloody use having to ask Big Brother if we can use them. The enemy will not wait.
Its a fantasy defence cock-up.

RAF pilots ‘put at risk’ by White House’s secret group chat leak
Danielle SheridanDefence Editor
RAF pilots were put at risk when a White House group chat on Yemen was leaked, a former head of the Army has said.
Precise plans for air strikes on Houthi rebels were discussed by senior US officials in a secret chat that was accidentally shared with a reporter before the strikes.
Lord Dannatt, a former head of the Army, told The Telegraph that because the RAF provided routine support, the leak would “undoubtedly” have put British personnel at “higher risk”.
A British Voyager plane was used to refuel US jets that were defending the aircraft carrier that launched the strikes, in which more than 50 people died, on March 15. The plane flew from the RAF airbase in Akritori, Cyprus, to assist aircraft protecting the USS Truman in the Red Sea.
Lord Dannatt said: “As US officials gave away classified information about future operations in which the RAF were involved, this undoubtedly placed British personnel at higher risk.
“I hope the White House will tighten its security rapidly and considerably. We will continue to operate with the US, but need to be confident about their operational security.” Members of the group chat included JD Vance, the vice-president, Pete Hegseth, the defence secretary, Mike Waltz, the national security adviser, and Susie Wiles, Donald Trump’s chief of staff.

Revealed: Trump’s plan to force Ukraine to restore Putin’s gas empire
Donald Trump is holding a gun to the head of Volodymyr Zelensky, demanding huge reparations payments and laying claim to half of Ukraine’s oil, gas, and hydrocarbon resources as well as almost all its metals and much of its infrastructure.
The latest version of his “minerals deal”, obtained by The Telegraph, is unprecedented in the history of modern diplomacy and state relations.
“It is an expropriation document,” said Alan Riley, an expert on energy law at the Atlantic Council. “There are no guarantees, no defence clauses, the US puts up nothing.
“The Americans can walk away, the Ukrainians can’t. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
The text leaves little doubt that Mr Trump’s chief objective is to incorporate Ukraine as a province of America’s oil, gas and resource industries.

NEW MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCES UNMISSABLE EVENT
Is this country so hard up that we can't afford a new folder?
Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022, today, Rachel Reeves left 11 Downing Street to deliver her Spring Statement, carrying a folder bearing the cipher of her late Majesty.
Are we so poor that we cannot have a new folder made bearing the cipher of King Charles III?
Was Heathrow shutdown caused by NetZero?
We all know the fire at the substation caused the total power cut at the airport and 5,000 homes, but why didn't Heathrow's backup power work?
The answer is they have recently scrapped perfectly good diesel generators, which would've kept the airport running. The have been replaced by bio mass generators to comply with Net zero. They didn't work.
FACT ABOUT AN INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPH!
This photo was taken nearly 15 kilometers above the Irish Sea in April 1985.
This is the supersonic commercial aircraft 'Concorde', flying at a speed of Mach 2, that is, twice the speed of sound or approximately 1,350 miles per hour.
A small fighter jet approached it in flight and accompanied it for four minutes at the same speed, and then the fighter pilot took the photograph, which is to date the only image of the 'Concorde' flying at such speed.
In the background the sun is shining, and at that height the sky already takes on a darker tone even in broad daylight, due to the decrease in air density.
The curvature of the Earth can even be seen at that height.

Prince William's Frontline Walkabouts (Edited)
Walking around war zones in todays high tech environment is a very risky business if you are a potential target. The use of drones means that if the enemy know where you are at a specific time, the drone pilot can drone you to eternity in a split second.
No security on Earth can prevent it.

Currently Trump is very upset about a painting that doesn't flatter him.
"Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
However he "knows nothing" about about the most serious leak of information from his own government.
Not a pretty picture...do you agree?
