justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 10/10/2026I think others following ship movements have posted this. If correct the first tanker carrying 230,000 tonnes of various fuels left St. Petersburg before the Trump announcement and is off the Easter seaboard of the USA, as far as I am aware? Can anyone confirm? 020 2
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 10/10/2026Meanwhile I believe the tanker carrying 230,000 (?) Tonnes of various fuels from St. Petersburg is near the Eastern Seaboard of the USA. That means the 'Diesel Deal' must have been agreed before the Trump announcement? 021 2
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 08/10/2026Not just that but the DG's thinks, towards online only - eventually. He said this last month, so expect to lose the 'Linear' way of Receiving Radio & then TV from Transmitters in the countryside to the internet. Neither BBC nor ITV, CH4 & 5 own the Tx 's as they were outsourced. LW closed, MW next. 010 1

justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 05/10/2026Is the population getting ‘wind’ of these losses in the Russian Military? 2020 yesterday ! It’s risen from less than 1000 to this level of losses over the last few months. 010 1
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 04/10/2026However. ⬇️ Our cousins in Canada, have gripped ‘The Nettle,’ have the ball between their teeth & are determined to link themselves to Europe.

justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 23/09/2026This published yesterday I think, would probably be the most up to date reasoning for the Status Quo, but with all the usual caveats of how as Nations of people with a common Human Rights can work together & improve lives. p.s.

justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 16/09/2026Sorry, if you go to UCL’s website, www.ucl.ac.uk/social-histo... These publications have links to download the many & various report pdf’s of the Constitution Unit. Hope that’s helpful? 110 1
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 16/09/2026The pdf is about 51 pps. Does this help? 110 1
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 16/09/2026Thanks. As you probably know the constitution unit of UCL produced this document on how the pathways to a ‘Unity’ Ref’ in 🇮🇪 should happen. (N🇮🇪 has to ask for a Ref’ first, etc.) Everything based on grass roots knowledge & Q’s to/from the communities, etc. This was well received some yrs ago now. 320 3
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 16/09/2026You mean, those who voted to Leave didn’t turn over their voting slip and tick one of the boxes they liked the most - not discussed beforehand? Oh dear, what a shame, never mind. Perhaps they forgot to print it 2 sided after all the discussions on Brexit Island? 120 2
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 16/09/2026This side of ‘The Pond’ the £9 gallon of diesel had arrived, with petrol at £8 . (Averages). Prices in litres from the ‘Fuel Finder’ app. Updated daily. (Obviously our gallon is bigger than US’s, but just as much stress on economy) Maps of Birmingham area. Highest prices on Motorways - 214.9p/litre. 000 0
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 16/09/2026Same across this side of ‘ThePond!’ Typical diesel prices now around Birmingham in litres, so that’s around £9 gallon. (Obviously our gallon is a bit bigger than yours but same stress on our economy.) And from petrol map about 20 pence/litre cheaper so around £8 UK gallon. These maps update daily. 000 0
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 15/09/2026Well these were issued in the 1970’s but not used. I won’t be surprised if diesel is rationed for private cars so that logistics & public transport have a barrel or two. Probably an ‘app’ rather than WWII papers stapled together! 081 8
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 09/09/2026Well it may well be that a ‘Union’ flag will be amongst the others flying outside the EU HQ’s soon, as Canada under Carney really gathers momentum to access. Might just have to be the 🇨🇦 flag though as British Columbia’s flag & all the others would not have room in Berlaymont, nor Strasbourg. 010 1
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 08/09/2026Well that should have happened 10 yr ago when those who voted ‘Yes’ turned over their voting slip and ticked the ‘Canada’ box! No? Oh dear, what a shame, never mind. Just a figment of imagination of what might have been to placate some. Ah well, back to being a Tier 3 Country. 122 2
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 31/08/2026Ukraine’s cities need a hage amount of protection otherwise Putin will do so much damage it will be Grozny again!

justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 29/08/2026The pathways to a Unity Referendum are well researched by UCL’s Constitution Unit. Quite surprised the new PM isn’t aware of all of this firmly showing the pathways, particularly as it is entirely for the voices of the people of NI with the people of the RoI to follow on with their decision after. 011 1

justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 17/08/2026ECHR is in 3 International agreements & 1 Constitutional. 1998 Belfast agreement 2000 WA & T&CA with the EU. Art’s 165/6 of WA has specific ref’ to Good Friday Agreement. 1998 (modified) Scotland Devolution. ECHR within that, only Scots Voters/Parliament can change that. 140 4

Having sold HMS Ocean (on the front cover of Reform’s booklet) to Brazil’s Navy, what large RN ship capable of launching Royal Marines in high speed ribs have we got to enter France’s territorial waters? Two nice aircraft carriers? Boom! Why is the media giving so much air time to this mob!? 120 2

justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 11/07/2026Oh I see. Those who wanted to leave didn’t turn over their voting slips and choose the way to Brexit especially as it was completely planned down to every detail with all those ‘Citizens Assemblies’ talks by EFTA & Canada, & Ireland (N&S) having discussions. Oh No! Oh dear, never mind, what a shame. 000 0
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 11/07/2026Oh! Is this a refurbishment of Coney Island.? The new board walk ? I don’t know from this side of ‘The Pond’ as our own fun palaces don’t have such a Big Wheel. 000 0
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 09/07/2026Perhaps some confusion from about 10 yrs ago, or less? When the queues of trucks to Dover Port could be seen from the Space Station. 010 1
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 01/07/2026Maybe there will be a ‘grass roots’ uprising before an October Revolution 2.0 in 2026? On July 4th 1917 it started in Petrograd. Maybe the shortages building up now in Russia that affects all the ordinary population will be what ‘lights the touch paper?’ 070 7
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 20/06/2026Gosh, has the ‘New’ Versailles Treaty only lasted a few days? Goodness me, I know the original wasn’t too good but you’d think the new one signed by Trump would be ‘Ace’ and lasted longer! Better top up the cars again with fossil fuel before Monday! 010 1
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 18/06/2026Also should’ve been fought out within the three other National Assemblies/Senedd/Parliament, particularly as N Ireland & Scotland voted Remain. No planning for what happened next, particularly if the voters had turned over their ‘imaginary’ voting slip to decide what sort of Leave to have. Zilch! 010 1
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 13/06/2026On a Winter day when trees are bare the red nav’ lights on the masts are prominent from our area.

justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 09/06/2026"Oh we didn't have a plan, we didn't think it was our job!" FFS!

Good Job the Unity referendum is better thought thru.' 020 2

justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 07/06/2026This document explains the 1998 act of devolution is a ‘given’ for Scottish voters to elect their Parl’ & Gov. Within is the ECHR. Only Scot’s can vote it out of their Constitution. Also in 1998 the Good Friday International Agreement with the RoI. Within is the ECHR. Two more - WA & T&CA with EU. 170 7
justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 31/05/2026A suitable selection for him perhaps? - right up his street - in Clacton - perhaps the background music as he takes his MP’s surgery - in Clacton? 000 0

justsailingby.eurosky.social @justsailingby.eurosky.social · 18/05/2026Unfortunately those who voted ‘YES’ didn’t turn over the vote slip and decide what sort of LEAVE they wanted!
