Did you see the thread from the guy talking about his youngest daughter going shopping with his oldest daughter/her older half sister and his ex wife, took two pages for people to argue who they were in relation to each other, I have no faith in a MN war cabinet

How do you know about this nation's preparedness for war?
I strongly suspect you're not privy to any details 😂

Nor is our extremely competent Prime Minister. He barely knows how to tie his shoelaces.

Or getting a Ring doorbell.

Buy another dog. Take it to John Lewis while you choose a Nespresso machine.

These threats are reported every few years then it dies down again. It doesn't do anybody any good to worry.

Yes, but it's good fun for people who Know Things about deployment of weaponry, whereabouts of nuclear submarines and the PM"s shoelaces.

Have a look in his Declaration of Interests on the Parliament website, I’m sure he’s had them bought for him, so the details will be on there.

Nothing about his ability to tie them.

The drones were coming out from the sea (prob a navel ship out of sight) and coming right over peoples houses in NJ. This went on for many months. These were huge drones the size of a 4/4 car.
These govt were very tight lipped about what these were.

I believe they were testing new war tech

It's still going on.

I didn't realise it was still happening-looks like I'll be going down a rabbit hole again! I remember people were saying oh everyone just started looking at the sky all of a sudden and misidentifying planes or hobby drones but it was obviously far more than that!

@Platypusdiver

our fighters train too, in fact often they train with the Nordic countries. Our navy is often on manoeuvres with them too. Download flightradar to see our planes over the North Sea most afternoons (back in time for tea though) in fact the defence helicopter school is still up over Shropshire ish now.

what we don’t do here is scaremonger

Well exactly. We’re far too busy to be distracted by international warfare. Let’s get that wrapped up before bedtime and then we can have a cup of tea and argue about what to do with the chicken for the third meal.

Yes, but are we a shoes on or off nation?
During a war, should we use toilet brushes?

Actually we have absolutely fantastic Mountain Rescue Teams, Lifeboat crews and the like who are expert volunteers, brave and skilled. Fire fighters. All sorts of people,

And amazing volunteers like the farmers aiding the NYM fire.
I read today some of them haven't been home for over a week. I dread to think what would have happened if they hadn't all kicked in. But thats a different thread I guess.

Scaremongering, like headline grabbing news...hot/cold weather here there whenever. Tabloids love it.

OrangeAxolotyl · 01/09/2025 23:06

Well. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm going to panic buy M&S bread-and- butter pudding and stockpile it.
Thanks for the conflict heads up, OP 👍

We’re fucked. English men can’t even spray paint a geometric cross on a mini roundabout. I’ll be drinking myself to death, or taking the cyanide pills.

I will start whatever kind of thread I like.
It did make me laugh. If you don't like it, I guess it's a problem that you have.
Go & read a thread about baking if that's more your cup of tea 🍵

of course you can start whatever kind of thread you like, but when you lack the skill to make it clear you're laughing at something then don't be surprised if people take it at face value.

The problem I have is your responses to posters who took your post at face value.

i think your lists are snippy, bitchy & unnecessary.

Your post to me was patronising, but luckily I see you for what you are 🙅🏻‍♀️

Unable to comment as I'm barely following the news these days. But I've been seeing ads recruiting Royal Navy reservists on LinkedIn multiple times in the past few months. Never before 🤔

Mark.rutte has been sounding a klaxon for so long . He thinks China will invade Taiwan and ask Russia to attack NATO or the Baltic states to draw fire

He said Russia is rearming at an incredible rate , producing in three months the amo Europe does in a year.

We know Russia can't take Ukraine but this conflict has forced china Russia and North korrea and Iran even closer.
