Shimane Maru was the first of the special 1TL-type tankers, designed to double as MAC ships and equipped with a flight deck, based on the 1TL-type wartime standard ship built at Kawasaki Shipyard during the Second World War.
It was operated by the Army rather than the Navy.

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

One day, I'd love to write a book about the far-right origins of most of the British environmentalist movement. The Soil Association emerged out of Kinship in Husbandry, which was properly Deep Soil fascist.

huh, did not know that UK hippy/new age figure John Michell was a fascist - an Evola fan and the author of a book of Hitler's "insightful" quotations. (Also a British Israelite, which can be just regular kookiness or - I suspect - full blown anti-semitism)

I do think it's weird that in UK governance in general it is far easier to now implement what are, whether you agree with them or not, basically paternalistic restrictions on consumption (the choking porn ban being the most recent example) than actually raise taxes and spend money.

Both this and... this doesn't raise much money! Its a couple of billion here and there: it will not fill the gap in the budget, give you headroom or allow money to invest.
All you're doing is pissing off a lot of core voters for little gain!

@arnabdatta.bsky.social is editing a fascinating new series about drawing lessons from what worked and didn’t in the CHIPS Act. It’s this kind of nitty gritty operations analysis that is just as important as legal and authorities focused post mortums. www.factorysettings.org/p/introducin...
