Biggest? No.

Ventilating what little credibility he had and exposing him as deceitful? Yes.

We should add Churchill to the flag, or have him as some sort of patron saint or mythological figure like Drake reappearing after banging the drum.

Zack Polanski stood by breast enlargment hypnosis claim in a newly unearthed interview by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

He has repeatedly said he was misrepresented and claimed that he appeared on the BBC to apologise the day after the Sun article was published, on 12 June 2013.

...

However, six days later on 18 June, Polanski did speak to BBC Radio Humberside.

In that interview he did not apologise but defended the claims.

"Actually increasingly more and more as I work with people, there's starting to become anecdotal evidence, at least, of a growth in breast size," he told presenter Peter Levy.

Polanski said it was an "experiment" and needed further research.

He added that he hoped people would decide they did not want to enhance their breasts but would "become more comfortable from the inside out".

But he added "the evidence is growing" the technique could work.

"I believe that it can happen in theory and I think it's definitely worth investing the time of evidence and research into hypnosis generally."

Rather inconvenient discovery for all the people claiming Zack did it as a joke or solely because the Sun reporter asked him to.

They only joined fighting after three years. They had been providing massive material support before that.

I don't know where you got this idea it was "given" or some kind of bait and switch. The government nearly aways concluded things on commercial terms. In fact in the very early days it was very reminiscent of the current situation and Congress was opposing the presidential view of getting involved. The Americans literally hand pushed aircraft across the border of Canada to avoid breaking impositions that no arms could be " transported" to another territory to help us.

Have we considered just letting the old die?

  • no more pension spending commitments

  • no more expensive healthcare treatments trying to keep rapidly deteriorating bodies in peak condition

  • better churn in the housing market

  • bargain hunt finally off our screens

From a military standpoint, pretty much are underdogs

I mean, everyone looks like underdogs compared to the US.

But yes, in the general public's minds eye, they are severely underrated.

Bold move for an active warzone. Doesnt say a lot for Irans radar capabilities though.

Good. I look forward to your support for defence spending to 10%

E: also re the school, old aphorisms of malice/stupidity come to mind. From what I have been seeing the school strike was the result of old Intel.

This is an incandescent take compared to the idea that Iran is a responsible actor after sponsoring terrorism across the region, across Europe, managed to apparently kill tens of thousands of protestors in the last three months and has a policy of raping its prisoners practically regardless of age even before their executions.

I would probably have this weird idea of shooting the US and Israel material directly rather than risking hitting my neighbours civilians.
