Buck's Fizz won 1981's Eurovision in Dublin in the middle of the IRA hunger strike. Ireland didn't give UK a single point - unsurprisingly - but the idea of asking Buck's Fizz to account for UK govt policy in the Maze would've been INSANE. It's still insane in 2024 with Israel.

A British Army with two deployable divisions is unrealistic and unaffordable you say? During the Cold War we had four divisions (three of which were armoured) plus an artillery division. What's unrealistic is not rebuilding the Army in the light of current threats.

Kevin Hurley I retired with 27yrs - 20yrs as Sgt
An incredibly talented DC under my command resigned with 15yrs in (plus 5 as SC!)
All that experience lost because govt couldn’t see past their wallets.
Crying wolf my arse!!

Just a reminder.....

When UK voted to reject the EU expriment, a snobbish, bigoted elite in London blamed it on the stupidity of voters.

Little surprise then that when such snobs have their musicals cancelled, they don’t blame themselves, but go after the audience. thetimes.co.uk/article/sherid…

The big decisions in Brussels about filling roles and dishing out power always take place in back corridors, far from the gaze of journalists and voters.

This is how the EU will appoint its next set of highly influential and highly paid leaders.

Democracy will wait outside.

Anyone with up to date info be able to help this candidate?

All the smug idiots who said the cold war was over so we didn't need defence. ... its not playing out like that is it. Turns out us 'warmongers' were right after all

There are now so many people in GB whose origins & intentions are unknown (how many tens of thousands do the Home Office admit they've lost?) It's obvious to me that voter ID is essential. Almost impossible to survive in legitimate society without it anyway. #LocalElections2024

I used to see these alot in 80s Shropshire. They migrated in in the summer and disappeared late September every year. Annual camp for ANGs i guess because you never saw them out of season

While the rest of the world moves on, a police officer is only just beginning her long journey to recovery from emergency surgery to save her arm. And her colleague from emergency surgery to repair his hand.
Heroes, both.

Incredible footage!

Every single one of these police officers is a hero. Thank you for running into danger to keep us all safe 🙏

Sadly 22% of police officers plan to resign in the next two years because of poor pay, declining mental health and low morale

The Police…

Al Murray - DKMS.ORG.UK 🇺🇦 Cops do this thing every day up and down the country. More regularly than you’d think. Next time you see a cop on duty just say thanks. All they get these days is complaints from the public, roasted in the press and no support by management. Just say thanks

Fair play to the Old Bill, unarmed police tacking someone with a sword.

Incredible footage showing immense bravery of the Metropolitan Police officers confronting samurai sword wielding man. Female officer appears to have brought him down with second taser.

Can someone explain why it is legitimate for Ireland to want to stop an influx of asylum seekers from the UK, but cruel and inhumane for the UK to want to stop an influx of asylum seekers from France.
