Broken immigration system. Please bear with us while we turn it off and on again to see if that fixes it.

Again I agree, and I don’t think NATO should withhold or restrict aid and training if Ukraine don’t issue a statement.

And I agree that looking back over targets hit between Ukraine and Russia it is clear as day that Ukraine IS holding to the high standard in place by NATO members and is targeting only military targets.

The issue is that in the political sphere Russia and their useful idiots and apologists only need one example to try and smear the story into false “well both sides did it” narrative which you then have to pull out the long list and start going through it i.e. it takes more time to disprove a lie than to say it.

If, as it is most likely the case, Ukraine accidentally hit a random tower block then said “whoops, missed the target there, but shit happens in war, it was a guidance failure / got shot down by air defence and crashed / whatever” it provides a quick response to the story the Kremlin will try and spin out of it add to the list of examples you gave how Ukraine treats civilians vastly better than Russia.

I don’t see the downside of doing this. The Kremlin wouldn’t know how to respond.

I did mean that.

This is true but if it wasn’t intentional Ukraine needs to release a statement if that is the case because:

1. Russia would never admit to fault and it shows Ukraine is committed to upholding the Geneva convention and therefore has the moral high ground.

2. That statement to Russian non-combatants would go a long way to winning the hearts and minds of the Russian populace. We can argue ethics and complicity of the Russian population in this war all day and night but the “enemy” treating them with more respect than Putin would make the Kremlin’s propaganda department sweat buckets.

Slap a thermite cartridge into a wing drone airframe that has swivel wings with rotating electric ducted fans and a loudspeaker that can blast a terrifying sound over 140 decibels and you’ve got yourself a dragon.

Not surprised about the older generation seeing an increase in suicide rates where, especially for some medical conditions around chronic pain, death is preferable to the NHS waiting list.

As much as I wish we could rejoin or even that Brexit was just a bad dream…

Not going to happen. Not for a generation. Why?

• The EU would not accept the UK back in until there is strong and sustained political desire to re-enter. This alone would be your 20 years or 4 parliament terms.
• The EU would probably want some concessions during the rejoining process including a commitment to adopting the Euro. That alone would be controversial.
• We can still get most of the benefits of the EU without fully joining. For example, the customs union would allow for free trade and free movement.

Oh yep, don’t forget her bullshit about a woke UK deep state she said on her way out. Give it another 3 years and she’ll have dropped to the level of headline guest at conspiracy conventions.

And the UK tax payer is forking out for her retirement with ex-PM pension she can now draw from! New rule, you’ve got to at least make it 1 year as PM before you qualify for the £100k a year pension.

It’s “Metro” it’s a free newspaper that’s available on every bus in the UK owned by the same people as the infamous paper: the Daily Mail. It has the same low-quality journalism but with the opposite spin (centre-left).

I wouldn’t trust those two papers to wipe my arse clean because there’d be more shit smeared onto my cheeks!

It’s a cultural skill developed over many centuries where armies stood on opposite ends of a field and insulted eachother before the charge happened.

Here’s a breakdown of the aforementioned insult:

“You Fucking” used as a layup for whatever follows. It is best to exclude swears for subsequent words unless you intend to punctuate the end with a worse swear. The only one up from “Fuck” is “Cunt” without getting into slurs.

“Nepo” shorthand for nepotism, this is the personal attack element and should be first in the insult. If you imagine stabbing someone with words, this is the one that breaks through the skin. It also has two syllables so it can follow on well from “fucking” which also has two.

“Silverspoon-lollipop” is the final thrust of the insult deep into their soul. This has three elements:

• It is a second personal attack that is closely related to the first as it denotes inherited wealth.
• It is the first part of “silverspoon-lollipop”. This paints the image in one’s mind of Elon having a silverspoon stuck up his arse and therefore making him a human lollipop (popsicle). Creating an absurd and humiliating visual of your opponent is a good way to inject a healthy dose of comedy which is THE key ingredient to any good putdown. Lollipop, as an inherently silly-sounding word, is the punchline again because of the absurdity of feeling destroyed by being called a lollipop.
• Both sets of words have the same number of syllables. This gives the insult a good rhythm: 2-2-3-3.

In closing, this is a skill that can be learnt it just requires practicing a few rules-of-thumb:

• Target weaknesses and personal flaws in your opponent that they can’t deny.
• Warp those flaws into an absurdity that adds comedy.
• Be sparing with swears and use them as layups or punctuation.
• Think about syllables and rhythm like one would do in a rap or roast battle. If it’s too long, split it into multiple insults.
• Keep in mind your cultural sensitivities. For example, in the UK it’s pretty universal that the only swears more offensive than “Cunt” are ethnic and cultural slurs. I also learnt from my Romanian friend that a lot of the worst insults from there are centred around the mother or the sister.
• If use your cultures’ sayings and idioms, which are more widespread in English than people realise, as shorthand.
• Practice, practice, practice.

Use these guidelines and you’ll have your enemy’s soul demoralised and destroyed their therapist will need a therapist. Happy insulting, ya bastards! 😊

We don’t have enough firearms in private hands evenly distributed to have a civil war you fucking nepo-silverspoon-lollipop!

Maybe you should be looking at your own country for that and I wonder where the nutjobs are that would kickstart that would hear their misinformed reason? I’ll give you a clue, it used to rhyme with Shitter!

Sure, we’ll need some target practice before raiding the wealth-hording bunker dwellers.

Plus the desperate and the idiots can go first as bullet sponges.

Well yeah and yeah I get why you are avoiding media that doesn’t have Scientologists (incidentally, fuck Hubbard and fuck Miscavige) but that’s got to be a pretty small pool of film and TV considering the stranglehold they have on not just actors but directors, producers, executives, etc.

Those weren’t artificial intelligences.

But that’s the ONLY difference. The rest is fairly comparable from the hallucinations of stuff that never happened, erasure of stuff that did happen from their data set memories, and completely entrusting due process and justice into a system that was fallible enough to be manipulated by a single bad actor.

Where’s Tom Cruse when you need him?

Eh, we could be doing better, but at least now we’ve got a sensible sounding government.

Don’t worry about this, race riots happen every 20 years or so. The previous one was much bigger.

FFS, WTO just forgive the debt or restructure it. Having a Kenya devolve into disruption followed by civil war and war lords and terror groups taking advantage will just create another refugee crisis.

The cannon is more valuable to russian commanders than their troops or shells.

Two for one deal it is then.
