Guess the airplane manufacturer.

Tax collection, don’t fucking move!!

Satan’s Rejects

Can you please elaborate for those of us with little hope of getting hands on a T line?

((No disrespect intended as I don’t know the context))

Plot twist user Ronnie moonlights as a collector for a loan shark.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a Tory

I bought a VGC 3sp in port talbot last year for £400, and considered it a great deal (I was in the area anyway). You’ll be hard pressed to fine a well cared for modern Brompton 6sp for under £650 in London, £600 with some luck.

Is that your price or the seller’s? For a post 2014 (longer wheelbase) 6sp with nothing missing and nothing broken, cracked or rusted, £400 is a bargain and a half.

The skies weep with joy at the change of government.

Low pressure zone coming in from Cornwall parallel to the Channel. The heaviest clouds are yet to arrive.

I’m sure it is related to that, but fabricating weapons for Russia to blow up Ukrainian people and ex-NATO vehicles, and possibly NATO personnel in this decade (it could take a few years to come online anyway), is a pretty big statement. Just what the full statement is, is my question.

India also buys loads of military kit from Russia, so having Russia build them a factory that they could nationalise in an emergency, for advanced munitions that work with their pre-existing hardware, could be quite advantageous for India.

Given that Japan has territorial disputes with Russia, I don’t think they’ll be very happy with India making munitions for them. Australia may not have any direct skin in the game, but if the US redirects military resources towards Europe and away from Asia-Pacific, they’re in no position to hold back an already pushy China by themselves.

India deciding it’s a big enough player on the world stage to stick two fingers up at NATO? Or a smart strategic move to pull Russia away from China? Or perhaps they estimate the odds of NATO entering the conflict are low enough, and their own military might is a strong enough deterrent, to preclude India becoming wrapped up in a wider war?

Well that escalated quickly.

Obvious as it was, Reform’s performance says a lot about who was voting for the tories previously.

1 more minute of unknowing, hoping that the Conservative Party shows its death throes….

Fascinating, if horrifying. Thanks for the clarification.

Rape must include a penis

Surely a penis-like object is enough for unwanted penetration to qualify as rape?

Also, by that logic, only men or people with penises can have actual sex, whereas everyone else using fingers, mouths, vulvas and other body parts and objects is just having sexual contact.

Bloody foreign leaves coming in and blocking up the train tracks.

Needs a drink and a snack to be a meal, otherwise no deal. If the PM and former Treasury Sec. thinks a sandwich is a full meal, then it makes sense that his policies impacting middle and working class compensation are, shall we say, more restrictive than those of someone who thinks a sandwich, a juice and crisps constitute a meal.

I want to send someone in Germany a Cohiba cigar. A mate is travelling to Germany, and should be allowed to import the cigar as part of their personal allowance. Can he then send the cigar via the German post, or is there a rule or fee or something to be aware of?

Inadvertently going for the hat trick it seems…

My boy does the voting - they don't expect electoral fraud from a 7-yr old. He wanted to vote for our neighbour, so he did.

You live next to a candidate on the ballot?!

A govt led by a man who thinks a sandwich qualifies as a meal. This explains a few things.

Just had this conversation with a pink haired lady making my coffee. Her point was that she’s worried this election might spell the beginning of end of the Labour Party, if they 1) receive a massive mandate and are unable to deliver, decreasing support for them in the future, or 2) move further right from their current centre-barely-left to keep their new base, changing them into Conservatives 2.0.

Comment was partly tongue in cheek. Most of my team at some point worked at the FT, The Economist, or Bloomberg, I’m surrounded by the fnckers :).

Zealots and apostles of capitalism. Market forces are the beginning and end of all things for them, they’re so unable to think outside that box, and since they’re in positions of power they’re dooming us all.
