More horses in the British military than tanks
More admirals in the British navy at 100k upward salaries then functional war ships

All the King's men (& women & them)
& all the King's horse (mostly geldings they shy easily)
Couldn't put humpty together again.

Yup
Getting the king to roll out the red carpet for a despot who has threatened to invade another country he is also the king of is quite the play.

An inspiring thread in these godawful times of uncertainty #speirgorm #Palestine
Adam - SpiceBag - Doyle came to public attention because of this (controversial?) depiction of a Famine-era eviction being carried out by modern day private security and our own Garda.

Dr Mark Felton has done it again, following on from asking why the UK has more admirals than battleships he has now done a video asking why the UK has more horses than tanks.
yup.
ceremonial stuff.
admirals and horses are cheaper than battleships or tanks and mostly harmless

Yesterday — YESTERDAY — JD Vance visited Dachau and said it drove home “what unspeakable evil was committed and why we should be committed to ensuring it never happens again.”

Today he met with AfD??

He made a mockery of his visit to Dachau. Disgusting.
