The British ruling class is more interested in maintaining their own power than in supporting Israel. Israel isn’t their military base, and they want good relations at least with the ruling classes of the Gulf states. If pushed too hard, there is a possibility that they will throw Israel under the bus to save their own skins. I’m not betting on it happening, but Harmer & Co. are spineless cowards, so anything is possible.

Muslims in the ruling class.

We should do what works. Entryism into Harmer’s government would, in general, be a waste of time. Getting the BBC to correct this particular mistake might work, as (1) the UK has a sizeable elite Muslim population, (2) the UK, unlike the US, needs to maintain good relations with oil producers, and (3) criticising Israel and supporting Palestine is therefore much more ‘acceptable’.

It’s a public service. It needs to be corrected, not abandoned.

One tenth the mass of the earth?

The coup is when you get the army and industry onboard to the point you aren’t arrested as soon as you go to bed after making that speech.

That’s a successful coup. But even an unsuccessful coup can get a lot of people killed. That’s my concern. I’m not American; I don’t care who sits in the White House.

Real galaxy brain take.

There’s already Essex, Middlesex, Sussex and Wessex, so all we need is a Norssex to ceate Sexland.

While the Latin mass bollocks is gone, Catholics are still expected to know a few Latin words, and Luce = light is one of them. So any conspiracy theorist who stirs shit over this can be safely dismissed as an ignoramus.

Luce = light, Lucifer = light bearer (his job before he rebelled)

There are only so many Latin words; at some point they’ve to use some word that looks like some other word.

Should I just copy my wife?

Safest option. Also please call it football, not s*****.

Football is serious business. Wearing the wrong team jersey can get you anything from angry looks to shoves. Listen to your wife.

In general, most football fans are working class, but some are racist or otherwise bigoted. Liverpool and Arsenal have probably the best fanbases among the big clubs.

1. This is using some cryptocurrency - blockchain nonsense.

2. Only Russia is actively supporting it, with China neutral, South Africa reluctant, and Brazil and India not even participating.

Yes, but is it worth going to war over a drone dropping some leaflets? Returning an equivalent amount of waste paper was funny and appropriate, war is neither.

as a kind of protest against the war in Gaza.

Well, I guess enforcing the Genocide convention is technically ‘a kind of protest’.

The Last Emperor 2: Electric Bazingoo

The smaller the eye, the stronger the wind?

You can write Türkiye as Tuerkiye if you want to stick to ‘pure’ English. I mean, Latin.

You’d have to make major adjustments to actually have one violently explode.

That, or buy a Samsung smartphone.

Or you could blow the door or window of the plane and crash it.

Would it be enough to actually compromise the hull? The hull would be built to withstand random birds colliding (and at the speed a plane flies, a bird would hit it with the force of a bullet or so), so I’m guessing it should be fairly strong. Also, a hole in the hull shouldn’t cause a crash - the ‘door fell off’ Boeing still managed to land safely. (Whoever is near the explosion is going to get badly injured / killed though.)

I mean, she’s not wrong.
