Oh I just re-read it, it's the biggest deployment to NATO in decades.

When was the last one, Yugoslavia?

A May election is looking more likely no matter what Sunak tries to pretend.

Yarp, send the troops out, at least that way there'll be a military left when Russia lobs a nuke towards the UK to send a message.

Meanwhile the "Sovereign Individuals" (author William Rees-Mogg) running the country will conveniently be on holiday.

I'll have what this guy's having, please. It's gotta be strong.

Mainly I'm just drinking Blood in the Streets, while preparing for The Great Reckoning.

Seriously, William Rees-Mogg wrote the disaster capitalist's handbooks, that we now see playout out before our eyes. And his son is a scrawny ass Monopoly villain who sucked his nanny's teats into his teenage years.

Lol am I actually being downvoted in defence of this man??

It's customary in English to call people by their first name rather than their middle name, unless of course they choose to go by something different.

Eh? I'm not talking about Jacob Rees-Mogg, I'm talking about his father William (deceased). William wrote the books on disaster capitalism, Jacob has been playing them out.

However in my eyes their middle names may as well both be Wanker.

Ah that makes sense then.

Yeah I'm not sure Jacob has ever done anything of any value. I could kind of respect William, even though I vehemently disagree with him. Jacob is just a whiny, over-privileged tosser.
