A mix of both, if you want to be pedantic about terminology.

Both, if you want to be pedantic about terminology. Look at their posts.

How do you think your car engine would perform after someone pouring paint into its internals? Think of a plane engine as a very high performance car engine .. but with an engine failure being catastrophic for the flying plane.

Long gone? If only. Thick Lizzy is still very much around and shill'ing conspiracy for the far right. Her victimhood act is very useful to far right propagandists trying to portray her as some sort of heroine of freedom betrayed by 'dark forces'. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Liz Truss is long gone – but her fiscal meltdown still dictates every step Labour makes | Max Mosley
A jittery No 10 now seeks the market’s approval for everything. The result? Cruel cuts and a fear of desperately needed public spending, says economist Max Mosley

You'll see a lot of people whose job or circumstances have them dealing with the dead doing the same.

I think this is why Labour are so determined about their 'fiscal rules'. My guess is the EU has said "if you want to ask to rejoin, the UK needs to stop borrowing and being such a financial black hole basket case"

I certainly triggered the propaganda bots didn't I? They appear to be stamping their troll boots at me in abject fury that I dated to express an opinion they didn't want to hear ..

'used in a genocide'? Look at a map. Israel and Palestine are next to next other. Do you seriously believe refuelling tankers are required to fly from Israel to Palestine? WTAF?

Great .. except I never said 'we must treat protest as terrorism'. Nobody has. Infiltrating an RAF base to sabotage RAF aircraft is simply not 'protest'. As for Russia, if Russia wasn't 'resurgent' .. it wouldn't have Brexited the UK, Trumped the US and invaded Ukraine.

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 07/07/2025
It's a war between Iran (using it's proxy in Palestine) and Israel. Last time I looked at a map, neither of those countries were the UK, or even in Europe .. which is pretty much the definition of foreign countries and far away.

In what way is a refuelling tanker a 'flying death machine'?

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 07/07/2025
Russia recently destabilised the US .. purely using hybrid warfare, propaganda and 'useful idiots' .. much as he successfully wrecked the UK a few years earlier by Brexiting us .. I really doubt Putin thinks he's losing. China, Iran and N Korea are also actively using hybrid warfare against Europe.

Legal changes aside .. and the fact that was an attack on US military assets, not UK military assets .. the main difference is that close on 25 years have passed the world has changed and we now have a resurgent Russia (allied with Iran, N Korea, China) openly trying to destabilise Europe.

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 07/07/2025
Read the legal definition of terrorism. As for the planes .. they are leased by the RAF, flown by RAF crews, used by operationally by the RAF and were stationed on an RAF base. So the 'but not RAF' is a feeble excuse.

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 07/07/2025
I'm saying 'the law defines people infiltrating RAF bases to sabotage RAF planes as that'. The response to me daring to point that simple fact out has been .. unsurprising.

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
The planes are an example of critical state functions and assets being outsourced (PFI, cf. our NHS). Death by privatisation. It's an indicator of how corrupt the UK has become. Crews are RAF. Mandela? Are you seriously trying to conflate the UK with apartheid era South Africa?

How much do you think aircraft engines cost? How long do you think it takes to replace an engine on a plane?

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
'Make up' what? I have referred to: the infiltration of the RAF base, the attack on the RAF aircraft, the uncertainty over what was done to the aircraft during the attack .. and a legal definition? All facts as far as i'm aware? But stating a few objective facts has triggered the apologists ..

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
How about something as pathetic as ... let's think .. a gaggle of Russia's 'useful idiots' trying to justify saboteurs attacking a UK RAF base because 'far away foreign war'.
000
peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
An RAF base was infiltrated by saboteurs who disabled two planes. It may have been subsequently proven to be 'just paint' and the aircraft may have been repaired .. but that is not the point .. neither is whatever cover story the saboteurs gave the media to justify the attack
100
peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
I have a huge problem with the way UK security has been defunded to the point of demoralisation and ineffectiveness .. the fact saboteurs can so easily infiltrate an RAF base and disable two refuelling aircraft is a prime example. Russia's 'useful idiots' celebrating it is just icing on the cake

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
And that role is what?
000
peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
It's the legal definition.. what's your point? I could apply my own subjective definition to any legal terms too, but it doesn't alter the law.

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
Since when is the RAF 'a hedge fund'? And the military repairing planes by replacing wrecked engines is a thing, right? And the suffragettes, poll tax and corn were about things in the UK .. not a faraway war between other countries?

Meanwhile, let's return to reality, and you can explain to us how the RAF and those planes did that?

Not just just 'splash paint on' .. they threw stuff (maybe just 'paint', maybe more) into the engines of RAF aircraft that they had specifically targeted in order to wreck the aircraft.

peterdavieson.bsky.social @peterdavieson.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
Remind me again which organisation it was that .. targeted specific RAF assets, located those assets, then attacked an RAF base to deliberately wreck those assets. How would you designate such actions and such an organisation?

Reform don't need to be credible .. the just need an angry electorate. That is why they preach hate and deliberately cause chaos at every opportunity. And, worse than that, they only need to get it nto power once .. because they will end democracy in the UK.

Last week a patient was prescribed a medicine by a GP. Reading the leaflet in the box it stated DO NOT TAKE THIS IF YOU HAVE [a condition they have] OR ARE TAKING [2 prescription meds they are taking]. Incompetent GP. Incompetent pharmacist. Patient 'attitude' being blamed .. of course

If a history of ME is ever written it will be a litany of victim blaming .. from the ridiculous 'mass hysteria' smears through the sneering 'false illness beliefs' to the punishment beatings of 'just exercise more' .. Long COVID sufferers are just begining to hear the neverending story.

Either that .. or the centre left just began to disintegrate. Again. I doubt comrade Nigel would be smirking so much if it were 'for the better'. Labour seem determined to hand him the next election on a platter .. and once Poundland Trump gets into power there will be no more elections.

Have you played the council's 'pothole' driving game where you drive around anywhere in the UK? You lose by knocking your wheels out of alignment, bursting a tyre or snapping a suspension coil/rod. 'Pro' difficulty available by driving at night .. 'Nightmare' by driving through standing water.

As it's virtually impossible to get a GP appointment, I doubt we'll notice much difference. We'll just be told to go away, lose weight and exercise by a flakey app instead of an entitled GP surgery receotionist.

Dear Labour, We saw how 'care in the Community' worked out for the mentally ill. They were abandoned to die unseen. So .. we're not fooled by shifting resources from hospitals to local 'community care' for physical illness either. We already know how the story ends. Love, Pete.

Dear Labour, One person. 2 day wait to see a GP. Told they need a blood test, gets it next day. Another. 4 weeks to see a GP, then 3 weeks for blood test. Same NHS. 3 days .. 7 weeks. Clue is in the name. NATIONAL Health Service. Not 'postcode lottery'. Get your act together FFS. Love, Pete.

The UK has at over 4 times the per capita COVID death rate of Taiwan .. and the UK undercounts. In Taiwan, everyone gets at least one free COVID vaccination per year. Go figure.

Just over a week ago I watched another family member die horribly .. neglected and abandoned in the ruins of our NHS. I've lost count of the number of acquaintances, friends and family I've watched die such deaths over the past decade. But, today, I have to get up and support those left. Again.

👍 and, in other news, the government frets about soaring disability numbers. It's almost as if they never ask themselves what could be causing disability to soar? Aside from a collapsed NHS of course.
