I respectfully disagree, Wilf. This is a battle against a regime running a country that happens to be fanatical islamists, but it’s not a battle against the religion of Islam. How can it be when almost every Muslim country in the area is being attacked by Iran and those countries are not only supporting America but are also defending Isreal ? “Soft line” Islamic countries like Jordan and “hard line “ Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia have shot down missiles and drones going over their countries heading for Isreal. I’ve seen and am aware of the past Israeli/ Arab wars, but now

Just heard that Starmer is “considering” sending HMS Duncan, our only seaworthy Type45 to the Med, but it will take a week to get there ! FFS, the illegals are crossing the Chanel in dinghies faster than that . Also, our only seaworthy cruise missiles capable Astute Class sub is in Australia on a training exercise. Meanwhile the French are redeploying their Charles de Gaul carrier group to the Med and have two frigates allready there and Greece has sent two frigates and aircraft. Where are our two carriers ? Not that it really matters as we don’t have enough aircraft t

There’s one sortie you should read about; the Vulcan attack on the Falklands runway. It involved dozens of refuelling aircraft and some that actually refuelled the refuellers ! It was basically symbolic, but it let the Argentines know what we were capable of Cheers.

Why would it need to be an increase in income tax specifically? Why not a moratorium on overseas aid ? Why not cut all benefits to illegal immigrants ? Why not a tax increase on the likes of Amazon ? Why pay an estimated £35 billion to give away the Chagos Islands ? Or how about cancelling net zero and the huge subsidies and drill for our own oil and frack for our own gas ? There are many ways of increasing military spending. Cheers.

France sending surface to air missile batteries to defend Cyprus and our air base……. Starmer still not wanting to get involved. Disgraceful and humiliating. Cheers.

Evidently we ordered 12 Type 45 destroyers but only 6 were built, only 2 are seaworthy and Starmer sent one of them to the High North to defend Greenland from Trump Cheers.

Evidently Greece has sent two frigates to Cyprus to defend our air base, as we “don’t have any available “……… Cheers.

I know the feeling My missus insists on reminding me that I’m 73, not 23 ! Usually when I tell her I’m going lamping with my p***y pal, or when I’m going coursing with my pal who is literally a third of my age, or when I say I’m going for a drink with my nephew and his ultra pals before a match ! She never mentions it when she tells me to get in the loft to fix a dripping ball valve, or go up two storeys on a ladder to clean the gutters. And she doesn’t see the joke when I say we’ve been married almost 50 years and even the train robbers and murderers didn’t get that long

Burj Al Arab in Dubai hit by missile and on fire . I had dinner in there some years ago with my daughter, the only seven star hotel in the world. Cheers.

They are on the east coast of Saudi, they should be safe. The British Embassy has contingency plans to evacuate in the worst case scenario. Thanks for your concern, I appreciate it Cheers.

Getting very serious now, DBX has just been hit. My family would have been flying JED-DBX-NCL if they hadn’t cancelled. Cheers.

I know, but those Beswick hounds are costing a fortune just now Cheers.

If I can bring a little humour to this ever depressing world, I’ll die a happy man Cheers.

Gunty, I’ve awarded you “THL LEGENDARY STATUS” and instructed Matttell to produce an Action Man figurine in your honour ! Cheers.

Don’t blame Pickford, blame Newcastle! Im a supporter, and don’t know what’s going wrong , but it’s obvious that Wissa and Waldermat are very VERY poor and very VERY expensive replacements for Isak and Wilson, and Elanga isn’t as good as Murphy! A disastrous transfer window. We are missing Bruno and Livremento, but that’s no excuse. Forget European football next season unless a miracle happens and we win the FA Cup or the Champions League ! Cheers.
