I could be a mile wrong but Elwood does seems decent, and if I’m not wrong, it goes to my theory that while you might not agree with their politics their are some Tory MP’s who are fundamentally decent and principled people.

He put his letter in after Starmer was threatened.

In my experience the majority of MPs who stay away from Westminster are exemplary public servants regardless of party, bit they also tend to have the sense not to become involved in politics

Westminster and everything it stands for is truly toxic

As much as my views of Johnson are known, within his own party/core vote he is stuck between a rock and a hard place, he can’t win because he will lose votes from the extreme right wing for his ‘support’ of Ukraine and from the true blue Tories for his lack of support.

And when the push comes to shove he will go with:
  1. Boris Johnson
  2. Tory Party
  3. UK
  4. World peace

The thread in general is interesting but it is all a bit odd in places, people calling for a united SMB politics forum as if it'll become a force for global good

You never fail to have a sneering pop at forums or particular threads or the members on here.

If you're so dismissive of the place it begs the question why do you even log on?

It's important that the EU / NATO gives him a clearly marked off ramp -

otherwise this is heading towards a Grozny type massacre or much worse

The Russians now will be under no illusions what will follow if they pull a stunt like tjus again in Europe

No need to shit yourself. I used to live in Rugby before the Cold War ended and nearby was Rugby Radio Station with around 30 high masts that communicated with our nuclear submarines. It was accepted that Rugby would be a first strike target but people were philosophic about it saying it was probably the best way to go if a nuclear war began. We did have a couple of nuclear alerts but people still got on with their lives. Didn't stop me dropping loads of acid.

i read somewhere (a long time ago, so i doubt i'd ever find it again) that as far as the UK went practically everything would be underneath a first strike

the small size of the UK meant that majority of places would find themselves within 10-20 miles of a first-strike target, ie ports, railhubs, airports, heavy industry, army bases, etc
 
Quick question...do we still have air sirens in the UK? Only time I've heard one sound was in Aycliffe. But I think that came from a factory on the industrial estate.
