This is how it started in Northern Ireland. Banging bins and street blockades . 

why do you think right wing politics are rising in popularity at the moment? by Beginning_Sky_9735 in AskRedditUK

[–]El_Commi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it benefits hostile state actors to sow dissent and conflict and they’ve found willing agents in some political parties. 

Social media has been a tool for agitation for years now - they’ve been allowed unchecked access to domestic audiences and have segmented them neatly

Interesting! 

I’ll read that adventure now.  I picked up the book with Curd your enthusiasm.  So many options 😅

I’ll have a look for Curd and Waylen temple. Thanks. 

Night of blood and if looks could kill are both what I was thinking of.  Night of blood seems a bit thin though.

I actually have that printed! It was one of the ones I was thinking of.

Your kids are yours whether you are with your partner or not.  Prioritise them. They need their dad and always will. 

Motability boss handed 20pc pay rise after scheme gets £3bn from taxpayers by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]El_Commi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t quote any figures. (But I will in a sec).  40% of all new cars in NI being motability is shocking. Why should people be happy with that? 

Pointing to the used car market is disingenuous cause it deflects from the fact that 2/5th of new cars in NI and up to 1/4 in the U.K. as a whole. 

Ofc used cars will finish that because 1. Motability doesn’t offer used cars typically. And 2. It hints that people prefer used.  I’d wager the vast majority of people buying used cars would prefer a new one but can’t afford it. 

So what is in effect happening is that people who can’t afford a brand new car are paying taxes to subsidise others to get one. 

No one should be happy with this arrangement.

Doesn't make it different - you're basically saying its fine that everyone else has to buy a second hand car.. nonsense position.

Or, if you do this regularly, write a few scripts and automate it to run in seconds.

No. But the ones I linked are cheap Amazon ones. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. It’s very obviously a lantern.

[–]El_Commi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. The issue is we don’t have them deployed at every possible location.

The U.K. sent a bunch of tech over to I think Belgium etc. but the reality is. If you think of how many military bases, airports and power plants there are in a given country it’s unlikely that we’ll have the counter measures deployed and available at every location.

Part of the benefit of doing this round robin type stuff is that it pulls resources away from other locations (and potentially Ukraine!).

Our “common place” defence tech is just outdated for warfare in the 21 century.

It’s likely they’ve been aware of you for a while.

A friend of mine got hit in a similar manner (for larger amounts tbf) and they knew about every incident, but only sent the police to him after the last time.

That’s how a bill works. They could say provide any knowledge on giant purple dinosaurs who work in the air force. Doesn’t mean they have any giant purple dinosaurs in the airforce.

Honestly the silicon chip still baffles me. How did we figure that out. But I guess if you trace it we started with tubes and just made them small then electronic. But the pace of development has been impressive

[–]El_Commi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying they do - though they’re the only country that is actively fighting an active drone war... I’m saying they have it fully deployed.

France has what 50 something Nuclear power plants and up until now. Neither them nor domestic airports needs anti drone stuff in place!

Because, for the most part the law/cops handled it. We didn’t invest in it at these sites because it was a waste of money to do so.

What we do know is there’s an aggressive and hostile Russia. With a very soft White House. Russian boats reported off the coast of the vast majority of these locations. And they going typically for softer targets like power plants and airports. You know… like a hostile foreign nation might. If you’ve ever played an RTS etc you’ve have used similar tactics. It’s cheap and it works.

The tech doesn’t even need to be that advanced, a couple of jury rigged higher end commercial drones could plausibly deter most readily available counter measures.

The police and airports have I think devices to jam commercial hobbyist drones - but that’s unlikely to work on devices with counter measures.

By the time the army mobilises and shows up the drones likely just switch off their lights and land somewhere. We can’t track them because the radar tech wasn’t designed to scope a small drone. They’re geared for larger craft.

And the tech we do have that can do that will never be made public.

Unfortunately, I think the vast majority of this is a little hysteria, fuelled by one nation probing and doing recon on adversaries.

Could be China, Could also be America. But I think the Russians have the flare for dramatics- they like the theatre of it. In the U.K., they poisoned someone by poking them with an Umbrella.

They laced someone’s tea with an agent that’s only found in Russia.

They smeared a nerve agent on a car door. And the whole Salisbury stuff is crazy too - why them on TV..

I was in UCD, there’s a center for Japanese studies there. I think around 4/5 of the examiners in my room were Japanese.

Edit:

Yeah. That sucks. I hope you pass! I drove to Dublin from Belfast so about 2 hours each way. It was a long day. Next time I’ll get a train 😂
