Kind of agree, single market and freedom to retire to Benidorm is pretty much the sweet spot for a bunch of alcoholics clinging to a rock in the Atlantic.

Yeah but you have seen Canada. Carney has a 70% approval rating at the minute. Telling the US to F off over the Falklands would give a UK politician about the same. You have to remember that Thatcher asked Reagan for help over that and he refused. Not forgotten.. It’s a deep cultural memory

And maybe the term “go to war” has more nuance than suicide your armed forces…

Mike @mike-oll.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
I will admit to it being late and have had a glass of wine, but what I am trying to say is that the strength of feeling over here about the Falklands (for right or wrong) would be enough to kill the relationship dead.

Mike @mike-oll.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Again not the point i was trying to make…. You either want to piss all your allies off to the point where we all go our own way, which is self defeating… or you don’t? Was just saying that the Falklands thing would be the tipping point for most Brits…

Mike @mike-oll.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Yep and is losing a war in Iran… and hasn’t managed to feed its sailors and has them jumping overboard to commit suicide. That wasn’t the point i was trying to make

Mike @mike-oll.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Yep, will point out you are losing a war to Iran at the moment. My point was not about actually going to war… it was just that if you could find one issue that could turn an entire country against you in one moment… fu**ing about with the Falkland Islands would do it for Brits.

Mike @mike-oll.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
That’s what Russia thought when it invaded Ukraine… What Trump thought with his trade war with Canada… But if you really want to kick things off in a big way.. then it would be one of its upstart former colonies trying to mess with the UK over the Falklands…

#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.

He's made a huge difference to our Greater Manchester transport system (something people in London take for granted), with trams, and now buses being integrated. And he donates part of his salary every month to support homeless people in the area. (Whereas Farage is constantly money grabbing).

Gorgeous glass gaming pieces from Iron Age Britain! 🤩 This unique set of 24 coloured glass domes with flattened base and spiral decoration may have been used for a game similar to ludo some 2,000 years ago. British Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a set of Late Iron Age glass gaming pieces displayed on a sandy surface in a display case at the British Museum. The set is made up of 24 coloured glass domes; six each of white, yellow, blue, and translucent green glass. One of the yellow pieces is out of shot in my photo. Each game piece is decorated with five inset spiral motifs in a contrasting colour. Nearly all pieces are uniform in shape; domed with a slightly pointed apex and a flattened base. Dimensions approximately 2.57 cm diameter and 2.2 cm height.

The gaming pieces were recovered from a richly-furnished Late Iron Age cremation burial in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, when it was disturbed during the construction of two gas-pipe trenches during the building of the Panshangar Estate in 1965.
