  • Britain won’t let US use its bases to attack Greenland, says John Healey

    https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/britain-bases-greenland-us-attack-john-healey-5HjdQWB_2/

    There is “no question” of British bases being used to support US military action against Greenland, the Defence Secretary has said.

    On a visit to Kyiv, John Healey rejected the prospect of UK support for an attack on Greenland, saying the UK would only act “on a fully legal basis”.

    How will the most powerful military in the world take over a country of 50k people without the aid of the British? Stay tuned to find out how!

  • The Traitors subreddit is decent lighthearted fun.

    They’re convinced all the minorities are getting sent home by thicko white people who refuse to listen to the experts in the castle.

  • For the night shift, here's an old logic problem to tickle the neurons.

    A judge tells a prisoner:

    "You will be hanged at noon on a weekday next week. But, the hanging will be a surprise. You won't know the day of the hanging until the executioner knocks on your cell door that morning."

    The prisoner is a bit of a logician and goes back to his cell to think. He smiles, realizing he can never be hanged.

    The Prisoner’s Logic:

    • It can't be Friday: If I haven't been hanged by Thursday afternoon, I’ll know for certain that Friday is the only day left. Therefore, it wouldn't be a surprise. So, Friday is out.

    • It can't be Thursday: Since Friday is impossible, if I haven't been hanged by Wednesday afternoon, Thursday is the only day left. So it wouldn't be a surprise. Thursday is out.

    • The Domino Effect: He uses the same logic for Wednesday, Tuesday, and Monday.

    He concludes that a "surprise hanging" is mathematically impossible. He goes to sleep like a baby.

    On Wednesday morning, the executioner knocks on his door. The prisoner is completely surprised.

    The judge’s statement was true: he was hanged on a weekday, and it was a surprise.

    What should we learn from this problem

    What should we learn from this problem

    We need to invent a secret 8th weekday just for surprise things

    And on the Eighth day, God created Blackpool.

    I am too pissed to consider it, sorry mate

  • While the world burns around us, I often like to spare an hour of my week to have an episode of the Blot Outdoors Show on in the background, while I take advantage of the opportunity presented by my missus doomscrolling in bed to paint Airfix kits in the freezing conservatory.

    Introducing me to the guy's channel is the single greatest contribution this forum has ever made to my life. I'm not sure why the idea of a middle-aged man "stealth-camping" behind some bins drinking neat whiskey from the bottle with his dwarven companion is so tantilising to me, but it is, and I hope it has a similar effect for the reader.

    I've seen him do hey maaate a few times tbf, there was one where he was in a bush just shouting it at pissed up passers by.

  • Genuinely who on earth would say no to $1m tax free and US citizenship to remain part of Denmark?

    having had CONTEXT shoved down my throat by the suspiciously ex marxist heavy "right wing" media this week

    the Danish argument is pretty much "they have the constitutional right to leave but we give them so much free money they wouldn't ever.."

    lols

    If the US had Greenland but still allowed it autonomy then as far as the Inuit are concerned, has anything much changed? The US has more money and would probably develop the place better tbh. Though the potential downside is they don't exactly have a great track record with Puerto Rico.

    100k a person is being mentioned. F me, at that price Elon could think about buying half of canada.

    It'd totally fuck the local Greenland economy in the short term, but I guess once people started spending the money, there would be an incentive for companies to start sending products there?

    They almost certainly won't actually give them 100k cash.

    It'll be like a 100k one time tax reduction or something.

    It'd be an interesting economic experiment.

    This would actually be the funniest outcome

    Just ignoring Denmark, and Greenland striking their own deal with America would be hilarious for sure.

    2026 is off to a wild start. 3 more years of Trump btw 😂

    Yes; and for some reason, a good 6 months after the "big trial", we are still awaiting the outcome of endless appeals and claims, the Manchester Airport Madlads I mean. Absolute farce, really (and those two are lucky, I believe that they are not remanded in custody - plenty of people sit in prison for 6 months or more waiting for a trial, a true scandal).

    If they released the footage it'd become real for Adrian and Jonty and they might have to change their world view.

  • After offering the woman, who the court heard was born in 1993 and is from Aberdeenshire, wine, he attempted to force her hand and head towards his exposed crotch.

    Forensic evidence also showed there was a trace of Cristiano's semen on the victim's cheek.

    From the fact its attempted rather than actual the court has announced to the world that he is a premature ejaculator.

  • Hmm work keeps mentioning the idea of hiring a part time freelancer to "lighten my workload". I'm not under pressure, always get my work done and to a consistently high level....should I be worried?

    Hire me and I'll use chatGPT for everything and we can split the "freelance" money.

    Part time freelancer to lighten your workload is called chatgpt. You don't need an Indian manservant.

    Highly likely to be a saar so it's a question of where your bosses ethnic loyalties lie.

    I dunno. My manager seems to be pretty enthusiastic about it but I have no need for it. I believe the word the kids use is "suss".

    Depends how good an Indian off Fiverr will be at telling your boss that he's doing your job.

  • "Was asked to stop feeding pigeons and kept going"

    Cool…the only way this woman got put in handcuffs and stuck in a van was that she has middle class woman syndrome, and thought if she kicked off enough they just wouldn't bother. Sorry love, not this time. Fuck her. had she stopped and walked off those council enforcement couldn't do anything, as they can't detain her. But she is holier than thou and got fucking done, good.

    Those officers are lucky she was compliant. Gave them some cop playtime practice I suppose.

    People who do this should be forced to house all the pigeons they feed.

    I agree with the police on this one.

    If there was no rapes, murders, or robberies left to solve, I'd agree. But the police are impotent gremlins who aren't able to stop actual crime so instead need to go after relatively harmless behaviour, like pouring coffee down a drain, to not feel like they're utterly wasting their lives.

    I've performed an extensive physiognomy check and she is a Starmer supporter. Entirely deserved.

    I've been feeding squirrels, what's going to happen to me?

    I like pigeons.

    That is all.

    They always cheer me up.

    They're so impressively shit I don't know how anyone couldn't crack a smile watching them waddle about.

    I agree, but wouldn't call them shit.

    Their nests leave something to be desired, but everything else about them is great. They're really rather smart birds, have a novel way of drinking, display a great diversity in their plumage, their iridescent necks are genuinely beautiful, they make a charming noise (that I find quite relaxing), and are great fun to watch.

    They're also good parents, and mate for life.

    There's a lot to admire about them.

    Yes, I have a borderline autistic interest in pigeons. What gave it away? Our towns and cities wouldn't be the same without them.

    Whenever pigeons come up I always get an opportunity to showcase my favourite find from my PhD; they're extremely good at visual pattern recognition. So some scientists decided to test this by getting them to identify malignancy in pathology and radiology samples for breast cancer:

  • Minnesota incident is frankly just another example of how leftism rots the brain inside out. This woman wholly disregarded her responsibilities as a mother to stage a pointless stunt against federal officers doing their job, and was genuinely convinced that she could do anything and suffer no consequences

    And now they're completely deflecting to it being a phone camera not a body cam, as if that makes it completely inadmissible.

    They've been itching for an excuse to block X in the UK because they keep getting exposed and called out on there.

    On the other hand they forget that they cannot just do things internationally. Elon isn't going to give a fuck and will probably already have a hundred mirror versions of Twitter ready to go a la pirate bay. What are they going to do? Sue an American company who doesn't care? Good luck.

    Imagine he's got every one letter .com domain going? Would be hilarity watching the government take 25 years to ban them all because they're that fucking stupid.

    Citizens seeing the tweets from Egyptian Alaa really was the last straw…

    They've decided this will stop starmer having to u turn on his tweets

    I see it as the opposite. She's still putting the responsibility on OfCom.

  • If it weren't for the ice on the ground that impaired the SUV's traction and blunted its acceleration, the agent could've been seriously hurt or killed. Nor did he know what she intended to do afterwards or whether she would hurt someone else. It was completely reasonable for him to shoot in that instant. Everyone knows now it would've ended better if he didn't (and I bet he now wishes he didn't), but the outcome is judged on the split second he had to make the decision, not what we know now. Once she demonstrated that she would've been OK with running over someone, all bets were off.

    This isn't to totally excuse the tactics here - still don't understand why he had to walk to front end of the car in the first place - but it's worth noting he wasn't directly in front when she started trying to escape, her reversing and turning put him there. Also she looked like a harmless silly middle aged lib lady which likely caused him not to treat her with the caution he should have.

    This video also basically confirms Renee comitted federal felony assault. I'm pretty confident she would have been indicted had she survived the gunshot - which would've been a dick move TBF, but it is the Trump admin so they would never miss any opportunity to own the libs, lol.

    I knew Jonathan Ross's show wasn't doing great, but I didn't anticipate him having this type of career change.

    Awful optics for MAGA, looks pretty bad for them tbh

    edit: Vance has already toned down his rhetoric on X. if you're explaining, you're losing

    Boils my piss to be honest. It's just so beyond what I think is a reasonable response to the situation. She may well have been acting like a tit, but she clearly posed no danger to the officers. FAFO in this situation would be getting dragged out the car in cuffs, not her head being blown off.

    FAFO in this situation would be getting dragged out the car in cuffs

    That probably would've been the next step, had she not floored it.

    She very clearly deliberately drove at him.

    Still not quite sure about that, but looking at her face the moment she drove, the claims that she didn't see him or was just confused seem bunk (not that any of that matters to the justification of the shooting).

    Are you taking the piss lol? This footage is the nail in the coffin for all the leftist narratives you've heard in the past 2 days

    If you confront a white normie liberal and end up killing her you're a fucking idiot. Literally all they had to do is step out of the way then chase and arrest her. Again, optics.

    Congrats MAGA you've just misdirected all the anger about the Somali fraud back at yourselves.

    He didn't shoot her after she fled he shot her in a split second decision when she gunned the car at him, shoving him pretty hard. If her tyres hadn't spun on the ice she may well have ran him over based on the footage. Sure I don't think she was intentionally trying to hurt the officers but a retarded lib behind the wheel of an SUV can be as dangerous as anyone 

    Absolute madness firing your gun in that situation.

    What was it meant to achieve?

    It's just brain-dead on the woman in the cars part.

    Look, the simple fact is if someone is pointing a gun at you do what they say unless you also have a gun pointing at them.

    If they are legally allowed to carry said gun and are in a law enforcement role doubly so. It's an instant don't pass go don't collect 200 item if it's used.

    She just decided she was right and that was that. It's no good being on the perceived high ground, when you're shot in the fucking mug.

    Better to take the person's instruction and discuss the legality once they don't have the death stick pointed at your head.

    She just decided she was right.

    Another top tip is don't drive off or drive towards a person pointing said instant death device at your head.

    Nah bullshit, the guy went from holstered to 9mm in her head in about 1.5 seconds, she never even saw it coming. It's straight up murder, this is nothing like Kaba (which was very much justified)

    I don't think she even saw the guy pointing the gun. There was a policeman trying to open her door, she was probably looking at him.

    US cops are trained quite differently to ours so usually "trying to ram your car at LEOs" is the kind of thing that instinctively causes them to reach for their weapon. Even in the Yookay that's how that Chris Kaba guy ended up getting shot. Obviously in this particular instance it wouldn't have achieved anything but he had about half a second to think and react as she floored it 

    US cops are trained

    Everyone involved in this incident looks more and more retarded with every piece of new information.

    Feels like no americans left or right have any sense of self preservation or trying to remain calm. Bunch of mentally ill hippies and call of duty warriors. Actual retard country.

    Pretty accurate tbf

    These protestors are complete smuggos.

    We all have to die, but there's something very disturbing about dying in a stupid manner. No-one wants to die stupid.

    Take it back about the shooter - I thought he was standing still right in front of the car, didn't realise he was traversing.

    still don't think he should have shot her, but at this point it's become one of these red v blue issues.

    Most of what's shown in this clip was already discernible from the footage we've seen so far, but it's really quite difficult to deny when you watch this 

    Libs sorely regret the day they pushed for LEOs to wear bodycams. It's been L after L ever since 

    On one hand, shooting her is ridiculous. Stepping to the side is both natural and easy to do here, plus shooting someone in a car that's only 1 foot away from hitting you obviously isn't going to stop the car. Not to mention the shots from the side.

    On the other, it's bizarre how often these protesters seem to think that serious crimes are instead some kind of game without consequences.

    They think they're untouchable, because they have woke on their side

    George Floyd is probably looking down on them from heaven

    George Floyd is probably looking down on them from heaven

    I'd guess he's more likely looking up at them, if you catch my drift

    I really don't understand what these idiots think is going to happen. Truly despise people like this, but it's so unbelievably tragic. Could easily have just got out the car (probably get a bollocking) and then be on her way home. Instead a family and multiple peoples lives are wrecked and for what? Virtue signalling for people who will forget them in a few days.

    "Got to stick it the man"

    Which is not something you do against US enforcement officers.

    Oooooofff... changes everything from my perspective.

    There could be a signed confession that they were going to go out and run ICE over and no one's mind would change

    That video will change no one's opinion.

    Amazing how everything happens in the 41st second.

    I'm still holding out hope airconguy will take back his statement on her being attractive.

    Yeah I was wrong haha.

    Still think the shooting was bullshit and unwarranted though.

    Fickle is doubling down on a Would.

    C'mon, I have standards

    At the time the officer draws his gun, the wheels of the car are pointed at him and had just started turning forward. They do appear to turn right but at that moment he has raised his gun.

    My feeling is she did not intend to hit him but I can see why he might think she was intending to.

    Doesn't even matter though does it? He was getting hit (nudged is more accurate) by the car as he started shooting. It was retribution rather than preventative.

    Don't think there was any thinking going on here at all.

    He panicked and shot a lady who was also a moron.

    Telegraph says he was dragged by a car in a previous incident.

    Sounds like the guy is a bit hard of thinking if he keeps stepping in front of cars.

    He'll completely get away with this, btw. But he was wrong.

    "Drive, baby, drive, drive"

    Regrettable words.

  • Always had my reservations about Dominic Cummings, but this is one of the most jaw dropping essays I've read in years.

    Something that stood out to me:

    Terrorists literally being hunted from cave to cave in Afghanistan by JSOC (US classified special forces) have used satellite phones to procure London barristers to bring legal cases against the MoD for ‘human rights’ abuses and won secret payouts of millions while on the run. Such grotesque cases are classified by the Cabinet Office to stop MPs knowing what the ECHR actually does and close to zero MPs are informed of such lunatic dynamics.

    Can this really be true? I mean, nothing would surprise me nowadays; and after the Egyptian extremist situation - our government literally outspoken in support of a gigantic arsehole who hates us and all we represent - I shouldn't expect anything to make "us" rise up. But if this is true, it should be front page news, and might chip away further at Labour's waning support.

    But if this is true, it should be front page news, and might chip away further at Labour's waning support.

    If its been classified it won't get published without a leak of supporting documents. And even if it does get leaked, who will publish it? Certainly not the BBC. Perhaps the Times would.

    He was the architect of Boris wave immigration.

    He's right to point out these legal attacks on special forces

    What is the point of the ECHR at this point? Has it actually benefited anyone decent in this country ever?

    There is a national drug shortage of propranolol a generic beta blocker that should be readily available.

    Did the GP or pharmacy think to let me know when I reordered my prescription? No! Leaving me to source an alternative at 4 o'clock on a Friday when the medication runs out on Saturday

    It would have been nice to have been told 4 days ago when I first ordered it. Fucking muppets

    Have you tried just being less anxious?

    I suspect its similar to Adderal in that there was a social media trend of using it for anything stressful (ngl I've got a prescription for it for this purpose and had one for years although I barely use it) so people got the prescription. You don't even need a proper diagnosis, you just need to score high enough on the doctor administered anxiety test and lead your GP to it when they reveal the therapy waiting times.

    I got prescribed it and then was instantly told there was a shortage. Not even bothered starting it.

    I like that their extreme scenario, presented as a far right lie, that homeless veterans were ousted from accommodation to make room for migrant men, is actually nicer than reality.

    Thousands of British natives including veterans, languish in shelters, decade-long social housing waiting lists, shitty ASTs, couch surfing, and living with housemates as middle aged taxpayers, while dinghy arrivals are being kept in bill-free comfort in hotels and homes that are not available to the public, at the ever-rising expense of the taxpayer, fewer of whom are able to afford homes with every passing year.

    The government is not procuring homes and freshly renovating them to house British citizens for free. One instance of removing veterans from a homeless shelter would be an improvement on the actual situation.
