Amazing Ukrainian ingenuity. This is the cheapest way to neutralize russian threats.

Ukrainian interceptor drones such as the Wild Hornets STING and SkyFall P1-SUN typically cost around $1,000–2,500 per unit, depending on the model and configuration.

Meanwhile, the russian Shahed-type drones cost around $20,000–$70,000 per unit, depending on the model and configuration.

The return on investment is 20 to 1.

What is this rubbish about a tourism tax damaging the tourism industry in Wales? We must be unique in that because over 60 other destinations charge it including Manchester and Liverpool.

🚨BREAKING: Thousands of furious Brits have taken to social media to declare a full boycott of Subway and KFC.

Both chains have recently announced they are switching to Halal meat in their products.

Do you support the boycott?

@rhysthomas It’s really worrying. I always found the air stuffy and sickening when I worked on the wards, seems like we’re learning nothing.

Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine.

I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.

The urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and to bring relief to the civilian population.

Peace is possible.

We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. We must also ensure the demilitarization of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza. And finally, we must build the State of Palestine, guarantee its viability, and ensure that by accepting its demilitarization and fully recognizing Israel, it contributes to the security of all in the region.

There is no alternative.

The French people want peace in the Middle East. It is our responsibility — as French citizens, alongside Israelis, Palestinians, and our European and international partners — to prove that peace is possible.

In light of the commitments made to me by the President of the Palestinian Authority, I have written to him to express my determination to move forward.

Trust, clarity, and resolve.

We will achieve peace.

Occupants at RAF Benson (quarters and singlies) have been told that Pinnacle have conducted a ‘walk around domestic site’ and they have identified that residents are not allowed to have anything in their front gardens and ‘communal areas’ (outside blocks). They have given examples of kids bikes, garden furniture and said they will cut down any swings as it poses a risk to others. Maybe rather than waste their time policing whether Jonny aged 5 has left his balance bike at his front door they could maybe use that time better sorting out the shit accommodation!?

I live next to the sea. It's beautiful. I got an acute, painful skin infection that needed antibiotics. The first question the doctor asked me was, 'Have you been swimming in the sea?' I had. I don't any more. The shareholders make thousands. We get sick.

Did Rayner send d*ck pics? Did Rayner give peer numbers away so as not get blackmailed? Did Rayner buy a yacht or run off with £29m? Did Rayner deliver £100ms useless PPE? Did Rayner have a tax haven hiding £Ms? Did Rayner claim £££ for her horses stables? Did Rayner claim energy bills for a home she didn’t reside in? Did Rayner have an affair while her partner had cancer? Did Rayner have multiple children with multiple fathers? DO YOU WANT ME TO GO ON? Well then stop reaching,

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.

None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.

The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.

Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.

A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.

On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.

On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:

"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".

On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.

There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.

Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.

A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.

He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.

The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.

It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...

THIS is the reason we wear poppies.

We do not glorify war.

We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.

Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
