I know the wording of the GFI is vague but it’s vague on the side of the government believing the time to be right. It’s quite clear that 50%+1 is the margin required in any unification referendum. He’s talking out of his arse this proving his qualification for a ministerial role in this government

The Ka-52 didn't properly enter service until 2011, it's their most recently designed attack helicopter and obviously their most sophisticated too It's no AK-47

I don't believe they have a statutory duty to remove green waste. Lots of councils UK wide are now charging for Green Waste. Government cuts is generally the reason given

Oryx has it as 59 visually confirmed losses of KA-52. There will also be more as there have been at least 3 reportedly lost fairly recently in non-combat scenarios well away from the front (which hints at maintenance issues) Also Wiki has it as 146 KA-52 at the outset and at least 4 more of a new variant were delivered in January this year.

Which Putin? The real one or one of the body doubles There've been quite a few Putin medical episode rumours in this war and just about zero of them have been true. Even Kadyrov has died three times I think

Our game did me no favours, all three players (Cash, Diaby and Ward-Prowse) blanked. Still Son and Maddison to play

I see Sunaks “treasury phone” is still in use The one he told the Covid enquiry he didn’t have any more

Nah, my tastes change with the wind. I explore music, always have done. I listen to a bands influences, their influence's influences and back to what other artists have been influences by the same. There are whole periods of time and styles of music I come to much later than when it was current. I listen to new artists just emerging… Serious music fans will always do this I think. As much as I call the 80s the most creative decade for a variety of reasons following on from punk and the emergence of cheap synthesisers etc there's great music from most decades (except Liverpool in the 60s obvs ) I'm at home with 60s Garage / Psyche as I am with it current derivatives. The same with Post-punk. I'm still on a journey of discovery with “Krautrock”. There are styles of the reggae family I'm a huge fan of, there are other styles… well not so much. Where does library music and soundtracks fit into this? Somewhere alongside that sits electronic ambient music. I’ve also got an interest in what could only be described music of the black consciousness movement, mainly the jazz stuff but again that isn’t the only Jazz I'll listen to. My musical awakening started I guess with punk and whereas I totally got he attitude, a lot of punk was shite but some of it was genuinely groundbreaking. The second generation of punk was particularly risible. Shore like Sham 69 and the Angelic Upstarts… garbage Music doesn’t fit into decades nor does your taste if you keep your ears open. Some people settle into familiarity others are like explorers, always seeking out something different. I'm definitely the latter. I reckon the last 20 albums I’ve bought, range from to 60s to now in equal measure Today for example I've played albums by Trees Speak (a modern take on German electronic music from the 70s), Kindof Blue by Miles Davis, a compilation of lounge music, The Liminanas (current French Psyche deeply rooted in the 13th floor elevators / Morricone / Gainsbourg), a 70s Dub compilation, an album by Julia Jacklin, another by Courtney Barnet and Radiohead too. A fairly typical Sunday Your taste only fits into the box you try to put it in, people should get rid of the box

I’ve changed my mind, it's the 70s all the way. Disco, Easy Listening, Prog, singer / songwriters… Are we back in the 70s, all that shit is current again.

Which West? I'd love to see the origin story

If you can't see that what you've posted is classic nonsense there’s no helping you but I'll attempt it nonetheless. Who are the unnamed “Western Champions of Human Rights”? Once you can name them, then outline what their response has been to the current situation in Gaza. This is classic “The West” (whatever that is) is the enemy and all one homogenous entity rubbish. Is Amnesty International part of “The West” for example? Are the millions of people marching on the streets in Europe in support of the plight of the Palestinians “The West”?

Vic Derbyshire vs Robert Jenrick Its a bit one sided

Someone called Steve Jordan, chosen by Watts himself I think but Watts drums on some of the tracks

Didn’t go for the Burn to Tsimikas transfer but captained Haaland. Still have 5 to play, so far only Turner has blanked, I have Cash, Diaby, Son, Maddison and Ward-Prowse to play. Hopeful

If so, where is the crater from the high explosive that Israeli missiles use?

He was certainly a legend in the comb manufacturing industry

You’ll be needing a bin shed now then

Doesn't want a Portillo Moment

And so it starts… Jeremy Hunt possibly standing down at the next election

Or Honey I blew up our kids… again

Just as with Russia in Ukraine somethings put into the public domain are for the domestic audience (wrong word but you know what I mean), some for the opposition and some for the international. We wiped out a shit load of Palestinians would resonate well with some at home, especially after the Hamas incursion. When it was realised that resonates badly on other fronts it gets deleted but as we all know, it’s too late.

Nope, not in this war
