#KeirStarmer has insisted that the UK will not be drawn into the wider war in the #MiddleEast.
With #Starmer's long record of breaking promises, that should make it safe to bet heavily on the UK getting well stuck into the wider war. #sarcasm
But there is a wee problem: the #RoyalNavy has no serviceable ships. #oops
So this may be that vanishingly rare species: a promise that Starmer actually keeps. 🤣😅 #popcorn
Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame:
All their attempts to bend thee down,
Will but arouse thy generous flame;
But work their woe, and thy renown.
From wikipedia .... i don't think they should be singing this in the Albert Hall ? We have at least one (very vulnerable) aircraft carrier... you are supposed to protect them with a ring of destroyers, ha bloody haha.
@RichRARobi The carriers were built at Girdon Brown's command as a way of throwing billions at Scottish shipyards, and secondarily as photo ops for flagshaggers.
Militarily, they are chocolate teapots.
With the rise of the drones, we would be better of with a bunch of a modern equiv of fast MTB 's as drone support vessels? Coast patrol boats?
