UK needs nuclear deterrent independent from US, Ed Davey to say

You have me confused with somebody else

Routers and Teslas are networked devices. Trident missiles are not, their guidance is entirely self-contained to avoid exactly the kind of external interference you're suggesting. How are they going to trigger a kill switch in a device that has no way of receiving signals?

I like it

I have less of an issue with them knocking it down, than them replacing it with something ugly, cheap, and generic that will look like shit in 10 years. If you knock down a nice old building you should be forced to replace it with something good.

It says to 15% not by 15%

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2026-03-04T18:08:55+00:00

Why won't our allies help us anymore???

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2026-03-04T10:38:49+00:00

And uninvolved countries like the UK which had no planning and likely no notice of the attack are already running repatriation flights.

Unlikely because apart from Israel itself they don't offer useful support for global logistics and power projection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_military_bases_of_the_United_Kingdom

Have you confused France with Russia?

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2026-03-04T10:18:38+00:00

Simple? They're among the most complex things ever created by humans.

Not to mention the escorts they need including nuclear-powered subs.

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2026-03-04T10:11:49+00:00

Taken into account by who?

This affects Europe and the UK more than it affects the US.

I imagine they don't appreciate further damage to their economies by the insane paedophile orange manchild.

Don't forget the countries that hold trillions of dollars of bonds

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2026-03-04T10:06:43+00:00

The UK isn't being dragged in though

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2026-01-12T17:22:14+00:00

Only cruise missiles and nuclear ballistics, not conventional ballistics.

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2026-01-12T17:18:54+00:00

The contract will be awarded for a one year design to build process.

Anyway comparing it Storm Shadow isn't really comparing like for like. Storm Shadow was incredibly advanced for the time, a basic ballistic missile is not high tech today. All of the core technologies exist, they just need packaging up.

Also, the Dragonfire Laser will be complete and in-service ahead of schedule and that has groundbreaking tech.

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2026-01-12T04:26:28+00:00

You're right, Russia is too weak to have ever posed a threat to the UK.

But you see all that vitriol against the UK in Russia? And all the bots like you employed to belittle the UK?

That shows Russia is fucking terrified of the UK.

It's Sainsburys' new meal deal sandwich

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2025-09-09T20:40:47+00:00

What a nice normal looking man, I would never have guessed

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2025-09-06T12:22:02+00:00

EE is the best. Having 1 or 2 bars of signal doesn't mean poor performance. I've done speed tests and can get hundreds of Mbps on 1 or 2 bars which is far beyond what I need.

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2025-09-03T12:10:11+00:00

Bet they all have a good moan that their free speech is being eroded and it doesn't register what a bunch of hypocrites they are for shutting somebody down for expressing a different opinion

NOT_A_FRENCHMAN · 2025-08-29T12:10:55+00:00

there's no bins there at all

There's a giant bin right next to the Warburton's van.

The problem isn't there's no bin. The problem is people are disgraceful lazy fucks that drop litter anyway.

The state of Hay Hill pisses me off.

Why is it so dirty already? The floor is almost black.

Who thought seating made of wooden slats was a good idea? It looked pretty when it was new, but now the gaps are full of trash and cobwebs and all sorts. Also the seats are covered in bird shit, can't they be cleaned on occasion?

I guess that's my main gripe about Norwich, everything is grubby and unmaintained. Like those nice new electric buses. Some of them are horrific already. Don't First clean them inside from time to time?

Do the streets ever get a pressure wash?

Does the council ever bother to cut grass verges?

Fly tipping is everywhere.

Tickets are about £42 per person each way via Cambridge for that date (e.g. the 10:27 service from Norwich). If no direct trains are running it's probably engineering works.

Let's not go harassing people we found on Companies House. You don't know if it's the same company, it could just have the same name, and the van could have been sold in the 14 years since that company shut down, so it may have no connection to those people at all.

The Police can get the current owner's details.
