@maddenifico Individuals with dementia frequently interrupt sentences with random noises, vocalisations or nonsensical sounds. It is a common symptom driven by aphasia (the loss of language processing).
@Bbmorg Number of members of the public fatally shot by American police in 2025, between 1138 and 1278 out of a population of 340 million. Number of members of the public fatally shot by British police between April 2024 and March 2025, a total two (2) out of a population of 70 million.
British troops operated in Helmand Province from 2006 to 2014 as part of NATO’s (ISAF), tasked with supporting the Afghan government against the Taliban insurgency. The province was the most dangerous sector of the war, accounting for the vast majority of the 457 British fatalities during the 13-year conflict. Fuck Hegseth.
@Raider2Fieldere Apologies, I mistakenly used the total number of United States 2,459 military personnel (2, 249) who dies in Afghanistan. Of this total, 1,922 were killed in action (hostile deaths), while the remaining deaths were non-hostile.
In the United States, there are approximately 400 home electrocution deaths annually, with 10% occurring in bathrooms. Historical data from 1979 to 1982 recorded at least 95 bathtub-related electrocutions in the US, with hair dryers responsible for 60% of those deaths. More recent estimates suggest that 60 electrocutions per year nationwide involve consumer products in wet environments.
Approximately 1,144 non-U.S. military personnel died in combat actions during the intervention in Afghanistan, representing nearly one-third of the total 3,609 coalition military fatalities. The United Kingdom suffered the highest number of non-U.S. deaths with 457 fatalities, followed by Canada with 159 and France with 90. Fuck Hegseth.
@JonathanSt28895@maryldtrump Please don't insult pigs by comparing Trump to them.
Pigs are highly intelligent, ranking among the most cognitively complex mammals on the planet. Pigs have excellent long-term memory and exhibit self-awareness two attributes Trump lacks.
The East–West Crude Oil Pipeline attack was carried out by drones launched from Iraqi territory which struck the pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions on September 10–11, 2026. Saudi Arabia officially blamed the strikes on Iran-aligned militias in Iraq, though no group immediately claimed responsibility. The Iraqi government confirmed the attacks originated from its Maysan province.
@UnitZee@powermacuser1 I support the BBC in fucking over Trump. The BBC has shown more backbone than the US media organisations that rolled over and gave in to him. A pity governments do not show the same resolve.
Nigel Farage is the British "politician" who has appeared most frequently on RT (Russia Today) appearing at least 17 times between 2010-2014. Russia Today cited him as one of their special and "endlessly quotable" British guests, noting that he had been known to the RT audience longer than most of the British electorate.
The linguistic term for using a brand name as a verb or noun is anthimeria. When this results in the brand becoming a generic term for the entire product category, it is legally and linguistically known as a genericised trademark or genericide. These phenomena are also referred to as proprietary eponyms.
"Whose streets, our streets". The same chant heard on the streets of Charlottesville in the US during the Unite the Right rally in August 2017 where white supremacists and neo-Nazis marched, leading to violent clashes that resulted in the death of counter-protester Heather Heyer.
The Union Flag has a specific, non-reversible orientation based on the precedence of the Scottish cross over the Irish cross. To fly it correctly, the wider diagonal white stripe (St Andrew’s Cross) must be above the narrower red diagonal stripe (St Patrick’s Cross) in the half of the flag nearest the flagpole. If the red stripe is above the white in this corner, the flag is upside down and considered improper.
