perhaps, every society has its vocal idiots and a few people who see them and think ‘useful idiots’ but they arent likely to get any more traction than they currently have and they are currently in full blown red queen ‘run as fast as you can just to stay in the same place’ mode. the far right as a effective pressure…

dunno the prinz eugen did ok but most of their surface navy was various states of embarrasing. the panzerschiffe got beat up pretty badly with the one that actually fought a surface action with cruisers being crippled and then scuttled, scharnhorst and gneisnau did ok until asked to fight anything heavier than a…

by brits NP i assume you mean the BNP? the british national party?

wasnt really designed for that, wasnt really designed for anti shipping use at all, it was designed to penetrate hardened targets underground and collapse them via shockwave, or cripple factories by collapsing them into the cavity created by the blast.

not really, they werent using tallboys for night time area bombing, they were making daylight strikes in clear weather for precision strike, at least by the standard of the time, same units trying to hit a rail tunnel put 3 out of 12 into the tunnel itself.

not before standing trial, being convicted and hopefully undergoing asset fortfiture.

I dont think he put much thought into it to be honest, it doesnt seem to have been intended as racist, black trainer trying to combine two enthusiasms and failing terribly, but the intent seems to have been good.

95% of us couldnt give a flying fuck, what any royals or ex royals do, the average briton spends about 0.1% of their year giving any thought at all for the royals, most of that divided between hoping the queen doesnt die before Charles and wondering which of them is going to get caught saying or doing something…

he kind of does, he is a member of a organisation which seeks to abolish the monarchy, he was almost certainly approached for comment by the author of the guardian piece and gave his comment, which was probably simply a variation on the same comment he would give about any expenditure of tax payers money on the…

honestly he looks better without the orange and obvious combover, not good i hasten to add, but a little more genuine, it would probably help him at this point because people dont look for bullshit and lies quite so much as when someones outward appearance is in itself a obvious lie

well to be fair churchill was racist as fuck at times.
