Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
I like shooting too, but shooting is an admission of failure.
If you have to shoot, shoot to kill.
I think my NZ national anthem vid is much more uplifting than any shitey comment on how to shoot- and believe me, I've turned thousands of rounds to brass- and picked them up.

I saw on Channel News Asia that non-payment of telly licences was to be “decriminalised” in England. Is the Beeb to be flogged off?

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
I'm sure Boris will start the ball rolling. The current BBC charter runs to 2027. I suspect it will be easier to investigate other options then not renew it, rather than duke it out (likely in court) to show that the BBC has breached its obligations. Given it's a Royal Charter, it would be normal to give them time to put things right even if it could be proved they'd breached them. Furthermore, after the prorogation judgement, I expect Boris would prefer to avoid the courts.

I thought that the proposal for the BBC TV licence was to adopt a pay-to-view format?

Anyone recall the expensive shambles in UK after the SA80 took over from the FN 7.62 SLR? An awful lot of dosh was poured into the sand and the snow, both conditions which apparently overcame this weapon's ability to do harm.

+1 UP. Shame that we lost John Fortune so early.
One can only speculate at how their scripts and dialogues would have treated the current UK shambles?!

BM, not really, after the Army I listened to the Navy. Then a bit of Foreign Office. They could rerun the lot. No one would recognise they were repeats. Use CGI PR whatever, just change names.

For those in this forum who’ve never had the pleasure, simply put “Bird & Fortune on the military” in your fav search engine and sit back and laugh with us all. A brilliant comedy duo who told it like it was/is but still our lords and masters continued hellbent on destruction of us all in UK.
Something to cheer us up on Friday 13th morning ? !

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin “Oilwellby”, following the general election Conservative win, writes about his concern regarding the direction the country is taking and the manipulation of ‘truth’ by politicians.
Should he be commenting like that so soon and what would the article have said if JC’s lot had taken the reins of power?
I don’t recall Communism being very enthusiastic about Christianity or any other religion so maybe best hold one’s counsel until a better time or possibly modify the thrust of the criticism.
If he’s also upset about the possible departure of UK from the deadly clutches of the EUSSR then he should rejoice and lead the hymns in praise of reducing globalisation effects and the indifference of EU elite to the plight of their citizens.

Barking.
The truth is, it's the people who've changed.
The UK is filled with pansies.
I don't think it's fixable, but it's leavable!

He should remember he is head of the Anglican church and not the European one.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
A timely reminder from the recent past as to WTF is going wrong;
It’s audio only as the poor lass would probably be deleted if her identity was made public.
This is the sort of horror which should be getting discussed openly in what remains of the UK but no wonder there’s a deafening silence on the topic when one looks at our elected reps in the HoC. How much is basic fear of the racist card being played if/when this sort of injustice is publicised?

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Now we’re told this morning that Blessed Hillary Clinton is going to be the new Vice-Chancellor of Queen’s University in Belfawst!
Imagine the security concerns and precautions? But at least she’ll be able to observe the coming storm of disillusioned Loyalists, as they wake up to the creeping reunification, from within her protective cordon.

I may have my ideas wrong but I thought IRA is particularly careful about its image in the USA.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
It’s not the threat to Hillary from IRA terrorists I’m concerned about, more the threat from lone nutters and the presence of Islamic fundamentalists who may use her as a way of striking against “The Great Satan” viz the USA.Rwy in Sight wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 10:13 amI may have my ideas wrong but I thought IRA is particularly careful about its image in the USA.
You are correct about the IRA, thanks to 9/11 they realised terrorism was no longer a popular option. I’m referring to the so-called Loyalist & Unionist faction in that unhappy province who, if Ireland inches towards unity, will replace the IRA as the resident terrorist presence with all the horrors which that will entail.

Absolutely nothing to do with Theresa and co. getting rid of 20,000 Police
When all else fails, read the instructions.
