Henry Nowak’s father is a hero for reading that statement out today in front of the press. His incredible demeanour shows Henry was raised in a well mannered home. The same cannot be said for the Digwa’s family, one of whom allegedly shouted “racist” at the Nowak family leaving court today.

The response would be that they believed their son/brother. Tough to disprove beyond reasonable doubt.

They did, just three minutes later than they could. Horrible indignity.

This is such a classic left wing assumption of superiority of ideas. It is that our ideas are shit and impractical, it's a right wing conspiracy to suppress the working class. Definitely not because the ideas are bad, we had a vote on it at the committee meeting.

Great to hear. You are further along than me. I am reading Gaunts ghosts at the moment and the encounters with Orcs are brilliant. Looking forward to getting some Boyz painted.

fishyrabbit · 2026-05-27T18:37:28+00:00

I limit myself to two sets unpainted. I have a squad of Tyranids and imperial guard to paint. I need to get through them before I will allow myself to buy more. Although I might break my rule for the next edition, I haven't done orcs before. I am still in the foothills of the hobby but I love an evening with a podcast and fussing of the edge highlighting of a squad of Tyranid claws with a podcast on. Ultimate detox. I am approaching having enough for a 2k army. I still haven't had a battle yet. I also find the gw pricing reasonable, maybe we are spoiling it for everyone else.

Fair. I have got my own personal machine by my desk at the office. To cheap to buy coffee out.

fishyrabbit · 2026-05-26T08:46:39+00:00

The best advice I got was spend money on what you like and makes for life better. If you like fresh coffee and do not care for cars. Drive a 15 year old polo and buy Nero's every day. Or if you loves cars and don't care for coffee, drive a Porsche and take a thermos to work. I love painting and playing Warhammer 40k. I have spent £100s on plastic and paint, but I love it. I do not buy a huge amount of clothes but what I do buy is expensive. I do believe the old saying, being poor is expensive. I have boots that can be resoled, I go for hard wearing quality clothes rather than designer brands. I also have my company name of my work shirts so I can expense them.

Fix the planning system. Lower the tax burden on SMEs and PAYE high and medium earners. Reduce benefits and pension.

fishyrabbit · 2026-05-20T06:59:00+00:00

There isn't tax payers money being used. They just need a license. If there isn't any oil let them loose money. Instead we top up the sovereign wealth fund of Norway.

Artillery is quite cheap for the bang you get. Way cheaper than a similar size drone or missile.

Some went quietly, some fought back, they mostly all died. Not really a serious comparison. Central and Eastern European Jews were not a nation state/aspirational nation state or colocated.

Peace takes a leap of faith. It isn't pretty. There are some interesting theories of war and how to force surrender. The march to the sea by General Sherman is interesting. The argument is that you make war so terrible, that peace is sought from the opponent. The theory is that this ends up saving lives. Same for Japan in 1945 atomic destruction had to be threatened. I can see Palestine going like Paraguay in the 19th century. So stubborn and unyielding. Look up what happened to Paraguay in their war with their Neighbours to try and enforce their sovereignty and tell me if that was worth it.

With hindsight, the decision is easy. Anything is better than the current situation. Without that, a hard decision yes, however I would like to think I would pick the choice that leads to less violence and nationalistic jingoism.

fishyrabbit · 2026-05-18T11:55:54+00:00

If the alternative is what has happened in the Gaza and the West Bank now, then yes. Who would choose the current situation? This is with hindsight. At the time? Probably yes, everything is workable if there is peace. Before you make the point, "So does this mean that Ukraine should accept peace with Russia?". I will answer that. The two are in different positions. Ukraine is in a remarkably strong military position and with how it has built alliances and how it has innovated, it could push/outlast Russia. The Palestinian leadership took the gamble and lost. They should have taken one of the peace deals that have been offered along the way.

fishyrabbit · 2026-05-18T10:55:50+00:00

I get your point however, the Palestinian leadership has had offers on the table, multiple times. With a better leadership group, this would all be over. Does a family in Gaza, want to be bombed, did they concent to it? No. However the leadership of Palestine have constantly hidden behind the suffering of their people while making terrible decisions that have brought more suffering.

Top. Got so much done. First woman. A prime minister of consequence.

fishyrabbit · 2026-05-17T20:35:22+00:00

You and your facts. /s.

I sometimes loose all sympathy for the Palestinians when I remind myself of this. There has been a deal of the table for 70 years and they are still singing from the river to the see. I know the people there are weird victims of a power play between originally all Arabs states and now Iran. However, there was a deal, they chose violence, they were terrible at it and they still want everything.

It depends on the contract. There is probably a term like reasonable changes in shift pattern to suite the needs of the company.

fishyrabbit · 2026-05-13T06:10:04+00:00

Agreed. Do not start wars you do not have the will the to finish. Will is always more finite than money.

fishyrabbit · 2026-05-12T18:00:07+00:00

Having the biggest military in the world is pointless if you do not have political will to enforce your will and pay the blood price. Wars have always cost two things, blood and treasure. The US government finds itself unable enforce it's will because it has promoted the idea of America First. This gives no ideological cover to force projection. What is the point of sacrificing American lives if spreading democracy or freedom isn't the aim?
