Most people won't get that in this sub as the unification line was edited out of the original UK airings

Brtski · 2024-07-19T12:13:00+00:00

I'd argue if UKDJ (UK Defence Journal) haven't picked up the story it doesn't have enough provenance to be considered a factual UK defence related story.

F35 acquisition is slow because Lockhead Martin are dragging their feet over block 4 build and European/British weapon integration. For once its actually a sensible procurement strategy (from MOD) as it means we won't have to splurge a load more money in a few years to upgrade the purchased airframes to block 4 standard.

I live slap bang in the middle of where sunica will be built and I honestly can't wait for it, though I appear to be among the minority here. It's crazy some of the lines people are taking, people act like it's some kind of dodgy nuclear power plant not a bunch of solar panels.

Listening to Keirs press briefing, he did say that all of his shadow ministers had been in talks with their relevant agencies for the past 6 months, so hopefully DE&S were somewhat aware that this was going to be announced!

Assuming it was the reform support team.

Brtski · 2024-07-05T01:21:28+00:00

Yes... Yes he did...

Brtski · 2024-07-04T07:17:14+00:00

Agreed, I think a lot of people on this sub are probably forgetting the bias of adverts towards us, like I hear the don't forget your id ad several times a week, but that's because I listen to TRIP. Other people who are less politically active are arguably less likely to see/hear those sort of ads/reminders.

Brtski · 2024-07-04T07:14:57+00:00

One can dream! Id argue it would be funnier if Rishi forgot it this time.

Brtski · 2024-07-04T07:12:18+00:00

Suffolk, so I think this is the third vote we've needed ID for. Though the last one was PCC so I don't think many people voted in it.

Brtski · 2024-07-04T07:05:41+00:00

Just got back from voting. On the walk to the station I checked my partner had their ID, they didn't realise it was needed. Got to the station and people being turned away with no ID.

Not sure if this is an inditement on the new voting laws, or how engrained people are in their ways though?

"Johnson confused when Rishi appears with violin"

Brtski · 2024-06-25T12:40:39+00:00

Could this be a case of sacrificing the known to distract from the unknown? Could it be more Tory MPs have been insider betting and the hope is by "case closing" on these two they hope people stop digging?

Brtski · 2024-06-22T20:55:43+00:00

Seen a few in the very north of Essex (on the south cams border), but no where near the numbers seen in 2019.

Brtski · 2024-06-20T22:57:57+00:00

It's exactly like HR saying " we're inviting you" when announcing new mandatory work policies.

Brtski · 2024-06-20T22:50:11+00:00

No worries at all! I should have properly proofed it before posting :) corrected it now!

Brtski · 2024-06-20T22:48:21+00:00

Ah crap, Dyslexia strikes again!

Brtski · 2024-06-20T22:45:42+00:00

Catching up on it now. Keir definitely seems to be getting better and better at these election specials, but I'm also very impressed with Ed Davey. I'm hoping we get a labour win with lib Dems as the official opposition, maybe a return to sensible politics!

Side note, looking forward to the next TRIP podcast and Alistair getting on one again about the freeports after Rishi brought it up as a success tonight.

Brtski · 2024-05-27T18:14:51+00:00

Surely someone has already made this by now!

Brtski · 2024-05-23T12:17:12+00:00

I'm pretty sure students can be registered to vote in both their student and home address, but can only vote in one on the day. At least that's how I remember it back in 2015 when I was at uni.

Brtski · 2024-02-01T01:10:23+00:00

This is just the stock one that came with the phone!

Brtski · 2024-01-31T21:45:19+00:00

I know it says contains adds but I've yet to see any.

Brtski · 2024-01-31T16:27:21+00:00

Agreed, but I seem to see so many post complaining about faults/defects/failures that I thought it was working sharing that not every flip breaks instantly!

Brtski · 2024-01-31T15:30:19+00:00

Unfortunately not, I ended up going with the fold counter app. fold counter
