@Irishtown6@PeurAvion In exactly the same way that I still refer to the UK as part of the continent of Europe even though we left the EU. Geography and politics are different
@Irishtown6@PeurAvion Then that is just your ignorance and mis-directed prejudice. The British Isles has NEVER referred to a political entity, it has always been geographical.
Likewise Great Britain has always just meant the biggest of those isles
@Irishtown6@PeurAvion It's not antiquated at all. It is a geographical term mean all those islands: Great Britain, the emerald isle, isle of man etc. It is nit a single country, but the term is absolutely still relevant
@benmoores2 Sorry, but I think HMS Warrior is far better than Victory. Victory is special because of what happened on her, not the ship itself. Warrior made every other warship obsolete overnight and marks the transition from the wooden walls and is epoch defining in her own right.
(IMO)
@DeborahMeaden Sadly not. Same mindset as Maga supporters (and I use "mind" in the loosest possible way). Personally I will vote for Tories, Lab or LDs - whichever is the best way to ensure Farage doesn't get in
@SeaSpitfires Thanks. I grew up round there (in the area where HMS Cambridge targets would occasionally land) and did visit the Mewstone a couple of times (not sure whether that was permitted or not then, I know it isn't now) but had never seen that film
@BillDunblane@Telegraph@TomTugendhat Russians couldn't get to Kyiv. How the hell are they going to make it to London? Besides which there are those things called NATO and Trident to discourage them
@ITVNewsPolitics Never been part of an extremist organisation? What about Reform? Never tried to take it out of someone on the basis of where they are from? Basically his USP is blaming everything on immigrants because they don't come from UK- and especially non-white countries
@UKDefJournal @HiphopPicts Be fair, maybe HiphopPicts doesn't have English as their first language. Maybe it's Iranian for example.
P s. To confirm I'm not a bot, I can't see any traffic lights out of my window
