    Not indirectly either.


    "The core issue is the complaint made by Boeing against anti-competitive behaviour favouring Canadian company Bombardier.
    However, the implications of the US decision cannot be underestimated as far as the economy of NI is concerned and IF the UK actually has any influence with the US Administration is concerned, then they should be fighting this one."

    Threaten to leave NATO over it (that one usually panics the USA military) .


    "But the whole mess underlines exactly how unimportant the UK is in the bigger scheme of things"

    For this type of claim, virtually every nation in the world is
    unimportant in the USA economic "bigger scheme of things" .

    Unless someone can show usage of the term that pre-dates
    his current long-standing (sic) hairdo, he may have a strong
    claim. :)

    What a Candy Crush Saga...

    Staying in Trumpville, Mike Pence proved what a patriot he is by walking out of an Indianapolis Colts game during the national anthem as he was offended by a number of Colts players exercising their First Amendment rights by not standing for said anthem.

    For some strange reason this isn't the way Fox News are reporting the story.

    A Republican calling the White House "A Day Care Center". What time does baby Trump get his diaper changed......and who volunteers to do it?

    Indeed. And people actually think our independent nuclear deterrent is independent! It doesn't work without American input!

    The cause of this state of affairs is well documented,
    and has its origins over 50 years ago.

    As a taxpayer I am prepared to pay more tax so that ALL
    R+D of this kind is performed on UK shores with nominal
    purchase of systems from overseas suppliers (the UK
    has a more than adequate skills base to do so) .

    Closer to home, Southern management are offering their long-suffering commuters the chance to meet with them this Thursday at St Pancras

    ...between 7:30 and 9:30am, when their long-suffering commuters are busy with their morning commute (or lack of)

    Do any trains operated by Southern actually stop at
    St Pancras (Thameslink etc) ??

    If not, then they are even more disingenuous c**ts
    than I currently consider them to be.

    Wolfenstein triggering continues...












    Yes and no: Southern trains don't, but as they run GoviaThameslink some of their other lines do.

    Racists, trolls, libertarians and an Arsenal fan. What a horrible mix.

    The real eye-opener is that, when Wolfenstein: The New Order was announced in 2014, we didn't hear a peep from the followers of Jean-Marie le Pen, Nigel Farage et al about how the European Far Right were being depicted and ****posting comments sections across the internet into oblivion as a result. Instead we had people asking where they could get the oompah version of The House of the Rising Sun used in the trailer (and, later, the game itself)

    1. the core theme behind the Wolfenstein game franchise
    has always been a shoot em up against Nazi armies

    2. even the laziest Internet searcher could have found
    this info with a one word search.

    The railways are proof - and have been for decades- that Britain is a third world country.
    Laughing stock.
    Has anyone ever been on a train that ran on time?
