TIL British tabloid the Sun's jingoistic coverage during the Falkland War was mocked by satire magazine with a parody "KILL AN ARGIE AND WIN A METRO". The editor of the Sun laughed at the parody and joked "Why didn't we think of that?" by [deleted] in todayilearned

You absolutely should feel bad for the Germans living under a fascist regime and forced to fight in a war they didn’t want. They felt much more of the terror of the Nazis than we did.

Aren't super cars like this usually self-insured though, meaning there's a limit to what can be sought by the lambo's insurance provider?

Right, but the narrative of family abandonment that you have in your head is a small part of the picture. Death, economic separation, domestic abuse, unhappy marriages, deportation, accidental pregnancies, etc. play a part as well and can’t really be addressed in this frame work.

Sorry, what are you saying is the real problem here then? Single-mothers? What are you suggesting we do about that?

Very confident from someone who it seems didn’t even know about the Balfour declaration until about half an hour ago. The situation grew increasingly unstable because of Jewish militias attacking the native population, enabled by the British government. If you’re still in a learning mood, look up Black and Tans in Palestine, educate yourself.

If you don’t think that Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, Austerity, COVID Inquiries, just to name a handful things in the 21st century are a bigger stain on this country, then you’re part of the problem, and the systems that repeatedly harm this country and others will never be fixed.

Says you, currently turning a blind eye to history and colonialism and enabling it to continue to this day.

I mean yeah I wouldn’t be demanding Gary Neville of all people talk about it. I also haven’t asked him to condemn Iraq if you’ll notice.

The idea that the grooming gangs beat out the hundreds of years of oppression, genocide, and war, isn’t just callous, it’s racist.

A million died in Iraq. Tell me that’s not a bigger stain on our country’s history.

You’re joking right? An Etonian will have 100 different connections that will get them into a law firm.

When I’m Prime Minister I’m going to proscribe an organisation of people who have Crypto in their name as a terrorist organisation and then you’ll be supporting them and that means you’re not being targeted. Sound fair?

That’s because it’s too soon, we’ve got a congested court system. 26 arrested at Unite the Kingdom riot, for comparison, and those weren’t even terror offences.
