I think you need to step out of your echo chamber.

Why would we be involved? Because of 300,000+ Brits in the Dubai and the surrounding countries. Because of Iran attacking our allies Because of RAF Akrotiri Because of Oil and global energy supplies as we decided to buy oil and gas rather than produce our own Because of the 'not so special...

I'm sure you already know the answer. No one actually knows for sure because it came in low to avoid radar. But the speculation is that the Iranian made Shahed drone was launched by the Iranian backed Hezbollah in Lebannon. So why don't you just make the point that you're trying to set up?

The US did tell us what was coming, hence their request to use our bases. From what i've read, they didn't share the exact timing because the Israelis spotted an opportunity to kill the Iranian Leadership, so acted decisively. Something that our PM is fundamentally unable to do. It should have...

I wouldn't call Pakistan islamic extremists. There is difference between being a muslim and being an islamist extremist. But you like to conflate someone that doesn't like islamic extremists as automatically anti muslim and in that assumption you are categorically wrong.

Nor do Islamist extremists. That's specifically the problem.

Trump is annoyed that the UK wouldn't allow the US to use Diago Garcia or US bases in the UK to launch strikes on Iran so their bombers had to fly marathon round trips. Starmer could have just declined to involve UK forces directly, and the US would have accepted that. But no, he also had to...

Which bit of my post is nonsense? Did Starmer **** of the Americans by not allowing them to use our bases? Yes Did Iran attack RAF Akrotiri? Yes Has Starmer ended up allowing the Americans to use our bases anyway? Yes I'd say i was pretty factually accurate.

Iran is/was a danger to the whole world. They sponsored terrorism left, right and centre. If they achieved their goal of making a nuclear weapon, it would be a huge direct and indirect threat to us. Starmer is a spineless lawyer who's only principle is doing whatever he thinks he needs to do...

I appreciate this is not what you want to hear, but a DIYer or amateur is not going to buy this TIG plant, and the people that will buy this plant will know what they need to make it a fully functional machine. For example, welders will have their own preferences for the type of torch they use...

Why do you think you need the 'Ready Pak' in order to sell the TIG plant. The 'Ready Pak' is the TIG plant you already have along with a water cooler for a water cooled torch, the torch and cable, a gas valve, ground cable, pedal, wheeled cart etc. This is not a DIY welding plant. It's 3 phase...

Let's also hope that Labour party realise that allowing Mandelson back was a particularly stupid idea, and therefore don't allow a comeback from Angela Raynor.

Matt Goodwin is trying to frame the by-election as a referendum on Starmer and the labour government in general, as well as focusing on local issues. Seeing as it's been a safe Labour seat for a long time and he's going around knocking on doors and actually talking to the locals rather than...

Yep, they do that every year at least once. Usually on Holocaust memorial day. So clearly, they've lost any argument they're ever involved in. FFS when 6 million of your religious ancestors are killed in the most organised extermination the world has ever seen, i think they have the right to...

Looks like an old air vent to me. Its in the wrong place to be an ash pit. Either way, i'd give it a smack or two with a lump hammer to see how secure it is. If it's loose, take it out. If it doesn't move, cut it flush with an angle grinder.

Old acetylene bottles are still dangerous, even when empty. The acetylene was dissolved in acetone so the acetone will still be in the bottle and old acetylene bottles can also contain asbestos as part of the matrix that the acetone was absorbed into. Whatever you do, don't try to cut it up!

We recruit graduates and non graduates for the same engineering and project management related jobs. I'd take someone with 3 years relevant work experience over someone fresh out of university with a relevant degree every time. The only time that changes is if the graduate has done a decent...

I'd buy a test kit on line to send off a sample rather than bring in an asbestos specialist at this point. Even if it is asbestos, the best thing you can do is cover it back up again. If it does turn out be asbestos, don't panic. You've cleaned up any release of fibres and a one off small...

Interesting you felt safe. I used to live in West London, left approx 20 years ago, but still know the city well. We go to visit friends or just do London stuff fairly regularly, and went down for the day between Christmas and new year. We were in the St Pancras, Covent Garden, South Ken, and...

Do you really want tank stored cold water as your kitchen supply?
