Agreed, but it makes for great press.

I’m a fan of the “misappropriating the truck” charge.

I haven’t been in a few years (2008 was the last time, I think) but there’s always weird stuff there.

No, but the UK is particularly bad.

SNP are a bunch of bloody morons — not news to anyone...

SNP’ll vote against it, now we just need to see if the Corbynistas will keep the rest of the parliamentary Labour party in stride with them (unlikely, in my view).

Best part is, you’re not at all wrong.

I mean, it’s not really analogous in any way.

Fundamentally different situation, though.

Indeed.

As much as Turkey has a right to defend its airspace, I’m confused as to what the tactical advantage here is. This was a very minor incursion which was obviously non-threatening to Turkey; in response, they’ve gotten the ire of the Russian military machine.

Plenty of ugly cars, though.

You haven’t been purged, so obviously all is well.

Perhaps, but procurement hasn’t exactly been the strong suit of any UK government that I can remember.

The way the agreement with AirTanker works, the RAF should always have plenty of lift available.

Yeah, well, this is the same country where the leader of the opposition is staunchly against the nukes while the majority of his members in parliament are for it — it doesn’t surprise me.

They have an obsession with penny-pinching (as long as it’s in the public eye).

This is going to spawn an interesting political fight.

Yes, yes, you’re entitled to your opinion.
