@swanyard98 Oh no whatever will I do without 14 varieties of refried sick with microwaved cheese on top

@farsideagm @Fahadnaimb non recurring engineering cost $9000, cost of manufacture $50, sold to BDS for $300, sold to the airline for $600

@ShaunHoughton7 @implausibleblog You’d be sacked on the spot for drinking on a site? Have you ever met a scaff?

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@nicksortor That’s Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of his other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith to you

@implausibleblog Less people doing non-STEM courses, and university bankruptcies. Do you want to be the person who tells someone their child can’t go to uni anymore? That barrier has not materially existed in the last 20 years and reintroducing it is politically impossible

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@implausibleblog Problem with no solution. Too many people go to university for the state to pay; when it was free, there were far fewer students and far fewer universities for them to go to. If you want to go back to that, expect far fewer heads in universities

@andrewfeinstein This is a blatant lie. You know it is a blatant lie, yet in order to cover for these people, you propagate this lie. Don’t think you deserve to be listened to about anything, to be honest!

@BruceRoger57623 @ReginaDo @thejournal_ie As a British taxpayer, I’m tired of paying for your nation’s pathetic cowardice.

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@7Irishg4 @ReginaDo @thejournal_ie “Neutrality” only works if you are actually capable of defending yourself if attacked. Ireland relies on the UK for defence while grandstanding on the world stage about neutrality; this isn’t neutrality, it is cowardice

@SteveVanquish @FennellJW @ukgeopolitics But what is there to gain? Seriously? A pivot to civil shipbuilding would be massively less profitable for all the operators, and would result in a substantial loss in military capacity (which actually matters)

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@implausibleblog “Aircraft used in a genocide” this is a blatant lie. Like it is physically impossible for this to have happened. Considering, in years past, saboteurs would have been shot or had a long drop and a short stop I don’t think this is particularly unreasonable

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@SteveVanquish @FennellJW @ukgeopolitics But why would we? We’re never going to beat S Korea, China and Japan at that game so why bother?

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@nikitabier Waa waa waa. European (and other foreign) companies have to comply with US law and regulations when operating on US soil or selling to the US; why do you think you should be any different? Because your boss has spent the last 2 years rimming Trump?

@RealScottRitter @triclassified Aren’t you a pedophile?

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@wrong_speak people want to pay less, so they put more people on the same aircraft

if you want this type of experience you can still fly business, which, adjusted for inflation, probably isn’t far off the price those tickets would have been

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@levelsio @grok - engines don’t run during boarding so can’t be bleed air
- much more likely to be fumes from refuelling
- kerosene in the bleed air would indicate something catastrophically wrong with the engine

@admcollingwood The biggest issue with the subs is the maintenance backlog cause by dock capacity, which is being tackled through what appears to be a competent and comprehensive dockyard modernisation plan. The disposal remains a comprehensive mess, but that appears to be improving as well.

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@Jjhaaames @BearJFK I’ve been through it, it absolutely does. The gross tonnage of the Royal Navy significantly exceeds that of the Marine Nationale. Keep in mind how heavy the RFA and carriers are in particular.

Also, the MN is approx ~40k, once you include RFA etc the RN is 37.5k. Not 20% less.

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@RobertJenrick This is entirely a product of *your* government’s inaction. The drydock backlog, the shambolic disposal process, the pisspoor training system set up by your party are the responsible policies that have landed us in this mess. The audacity to shift the blame

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@BearJFK Some are caused by funding (escort fleet), some engineering (lack of drydock capacity for boats), some management (recruitment). Just because the navy is in a comparatively poor state of repair does not make it cheap to run

[bigladseb @bigladseb]

@BearJFK What do you mean when you refer to the “state” of the RN? Do you mean maintenance issues on the sub fleet? Lack of escort vessels? Personnel issues?

It’s obvious the Royal Navy has problems
