    Space stuff...

    There is no technical or theoretical blocker to use landing a man on the moon, or even bringing them back again. It's just insanely expensive and has no immediate value beyond scientific discovery. And while science for the sake of science is important there are better ways to spend the tens of...

    Do some skydiving, those first few seconds before you get to terminal velocity are amazing. But yes, being in zero G for longer than that is apparently pretty horrible.

    How is that better off? That would be equal at most and ignores all of the contribution factors.

    Reality of Reform governance: Green windfarmer a better replacement

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxde5e4rngo Reform are a protest party, now the Greens are being realised as a similar protest party, but without the racism and Tory party émigrés, are we going to see a green resurgence?

    Hilarious. So you can't find anything to support your xenophobic bigotry and a quick AI query says you're wrong. The next time you say the sky is blue I'm going to be checking the weather report.

    Ai summary: No, Commonwealth citizens generally do not have easier entry to the UK and are treated similarly to other foreign nationals, requiring visas for work, study, or settlement. No, Commonwealth citizens do not have automatic priority entry or special visa exemptions for the UK simply by...

    Isn't most of his recent gains down to his scam memecoin?

    How? You keep saying this but can't say how. If it's as obvious as the colour of the sky it won't take you long.

    It's almost like the xenophobic right wingers don't actually have a clue about what they're talking about. London costs the UK money, then it doesn't. Commonwealth citizens get easier entry, but they don't. We give too much to the commonwealth, but they don't know how much that is or how. They...

    So we don't ... ... Then? Presumably? You mean you pulled that out of your arse. Perhaps the ability to have a say in local democracy is a draw but it doesn't matter to me if the developers I work with are Indian or Polish.

    Which commonwealth rights are those? I thought, with a few tiny exceptions, they were subject to the same rules as other countries. Another fart fact I think.

    I'll bet that's another 'fact' you've pulled out of your cavernous echoing rectum. What metrics are you thinking of?

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    Restocking wouldn't help the US, their kit has long production tails and are running full speed already. It does give them time to move the Marine MEU into the region, airborne troops don't have as much armoured equipment so aren't as suitable for a prolonged land invasion.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    Apparently the US also agreed with the Iranian interpretation of the ceasefire agreement, at least until Israel gave them a call.

    Commonwealth citizens, if they've got skilled worker visas then they're allowed to vote. The same as almost everyone who comes here.

    Trump threatens to retreat from Iran

    Lets not forget that right now paying the Hormuz toll would be breaching sanctions. So even if you had insurance, even if your shipping company was willing to take the chance that you'll be allowed out then it's only a tiny few organisations that will use the straights. Hormuz will remain...

    So yes it is a positive, you're just giving it less value than the Nissan car plant which is propped up on government subsidies.

    Isn't London a net positive financially for the rest of the nation?
