@Alexarmstrong In the 1950s large parts of the Thames were declared biologically dead, nothing lived in them because pollution was so great oxygen levels collapsed.
@soupjackson85@JimLaPorta@emeriticus@BritishArmy We all watched the video, heard his words, you have no idea what point he was trying to make, you just want to defend him at all costs which just make you look a fool.
@NobleExcalibur@visegrad24 You know this is a proposal, if it gets through it doesn't take effect for 2 years and immigrants still get some level of benefits?
@CfCMannie@visegrad24 The law hasn't changed, if it does change it won't start till 01/01/2028 and immigrants would still have access to some benefits.
🚨We would normally refrain from posting things like this, but seeing as @benonwine thinks mocking a woman's weight is fine just because she accepted a ministry role
Oh and whatever you do, don't save this pic and post it on his timelines🤣
If only this guy knew what it was like to be even a LITTLE further back from the front line let alone the FRONT he’d change his tune.
But he wouldn’t know would he.
As I sit here with 2 limbs missing, friends gone, trying to keep it all together for my family, it’s infuriating to hear this come out of @realDonaldTrump mouth.
To be fair I’d rather sit down with this guy than lose the plot over him.
We know what we did brothers and sisters! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🫡🫡🫡🫡
This is one of the most offensive things he says. Literally pissing on the graves of allied soldiers from NATO nations who died fighting in our defense after 9/11. Got complaints about NATO? Fine. But show a shred of humanity and decency.
Listen to this boorish imbecile: "They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan or this or that, and they did -- they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."
Donald Trump has again disparaged Nato allies, claiming their troops “stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines” while fighting in Afghanistan in support of US campaign against Taliban.
The only time Nato has ever invoked article 5 – that an attack on one member represents an attack on all – came after September 11.
Member states deployed thousands of troops to Afghanistan - 3,486 were killed in 20-year conflict, incl more than 1000 non-US personnel.
🇬🇧 457 British troops died, while another 2,000 military and civilian personnel were wounded in action
🇨🇦 Canada suffered 165 deaths, including civilians, during 12-year deployment, its longest combat mission
🇩🇰 Denmark - which controls Greenland and which Trump said was “ungrateful” for US protection during WW2 - lost 44 troops, most per capita outside US.
I witnessed young Canadian solder Frederic Couture stand on a landmine on the frontline in Kandahar in Afghanistan in 2006. "I'm 21-years-old and I've lost my foot," he cried. "What am I going to do now?" He killed himself a year later, unable to go on.

Trump: "You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this and that. And they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines".
Danish soldiers, Helmand Province, 2009:
@TotalesTurns@DanielJHannan The US went because of 9/11, an attack on their soil. Everyone else went because they were asked, now Trump is disrespecting the sacrifice they gave and your here with stats.... sad.
