Just an older British bloke who is very dismayed by the series of rightward lurches the world has taken lately. I respect diverse opinions, but not flagrant refusal to see the truth.
I still #FBPE.
Unsolicited unwelcome DM = instant block.
I sincerely hope Peston is wrong about what Starmer is “minded” to do.

While there is a debate to be had about whether to try and stop US launching attacks directly from Diego Garcia, there is ZERO justification for our direct involvement.

You will have far more success by not shooting back.

Yes, yes yes.

Keep it peaceful folks, and if starts getting messy, All Sit down.

No, no, no. At this point you must avoid giving them excuses.

It’s EXTREMELY unlikely. 1) Look at many recent trips by Solong below. 2) consider that it held the exact course and speed for 9 hours, and that the tanker was not exactly stationary throughout that period, as it was swinging at anchor.

Look at the course he took MANY times. Consider the fact that on this occasion course and speed were unchanged for 9 hours. Consider the fact that the tanker was swinging with wind and tide at anchor. While deliberate is not QUITE impossible, it’s highly unlikely.

Currently looks as though a group of tugs, offshore supply vessels etc are doing a coordinated search.

Quordle extreme is frequently easier to solve than classic, I find.
