They had TEN.YEARS to demonstrate a benefit to Brexit, and have failed. We need to go back, and, sure it won't be as preferential an arrangement as we had before all of this bollocks happened, but they need us as much as we need them, esp. in these increasingly uncertain times.

Just so we’re crystal clear: Trump is now funding the murder of Ukrainian women and children to try and win the midterms. America is lost.
The orange omnicunt posts:

I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

He'd have a much better chance of changing the outcome of the midterms by announcing a complete cessation of hostilities (at least from the US side) and withdrawal of forces from the region.

It's a money sink, promoted by the Military Industrial Complex. Inflexible, likely never to be used. Better to buy a few more Type 45 destroyers if you want air defence that moves. (even so, chances are we will be hit by a drone swarm rather ICBM)

If we want a closer trading relationship with EU, we will need to align on tariffs on goods coming in from (eg) China, otherwise there will be a lot of stuff coming to the UK just to cross the Channel. I for one want a closer relationship with EU, and accept this as inevitable.

Spent the morning removing and cleaning keys on the laptop after puppy spilled coffee all over it. Good news is that it hath survived. I did take the extreme measure of removing the base and giving affected areas a swabbing with isopropyl alcohol - when it would't charge. That also worked!

Went to my local aquatics shop (Southern Aquatics and Pets in Woolston) for some flakes and feed for the pond. I've bought many shubunkin and comets there over the years. They're closing down in 2 weeks. Shame. When I left, I said "So long, and thanks for all the fish" (apols to Douglas Adams).

I recall the crazy headlines around nanotechnology some years ago, and people claiming that nanobots would turn the entire planet into a 'gray goo' - a phrase coined (and much regretted later) by Eric Drexler in his 1986 book Engines of Creation. Still here. No grey (or gray) goo anywhere.

Possibilities: (please add more) 1) Dry run to check responsiveness of military and police 2) They were up to some mischief at the air base but hadn't quite worked out what to do 3) They were aiming to steal fuel oil from farms - hence the large number of strong, young men ahd three vans.

One of the vans had a sign on the side "FUEL 2YOU" .. I took that as a clue to their real purpose. Equally, could be that they were on a dummy run to test the reaction of the authorities ...

Given the huge price of diesel in this country (Thank you, Mr President), it is equally likely that the security services have found they were out on a night of stealing fuel oil from farms, and had no notion they were near a US base.

BBC News reporting that security at the base has been clearly stepped up during the past few days, possibly as a response to increased threats from Iran.

There are a lot of ?ambulances on site at the incident by the look of it. Nobody seems to have heard any explosions though - maybe precaution in case some explosive material goes bang? Kudos to the police for their prompt action.

Belarus is landlocked. Potash would have to go via rail to a Russian port somewhere, and ship from there. I cannot see how it could be competitively priced, or how it could evade sanctions. It's a good job Potash doesn't burn readily, or it could be a target for Ukraine drones in transit ...
