They can run faster than us ,think quicker than us. Should the younger generation start to be worried about what's it going to be like in 20 years time.

Why did he think it reasonable for Iran to open up the Straits of Hormuz whilst he maintained a blockade on their shipping? I thought it logical to reciprocate but dealing with Trump logic goes out of the window,
I was taught to be cautious

The boat people are now reported coming from Belgium, escorted to the French coast guard who then escort the to the middle of the channel. That's what we are now getting for all the millions of £s we give the French.😡

It won't stop until we start escorting them back to France instead of onward to the UK.

It’ a pity Charlie and the other Royal freeloaders haven’t dipped into their own pockets to fund the £46 million for their beloved mama's new statue…do we really need another statue of the late Queen when the money could pay for any number of worthwhile good causes? :crazy: :crazy:

I'd rather see a realistic statue than something like that Princess Diana remembrance garden.
I think we should have more realistic statues...Boris Johnson, Tony Blair like the one in Kosovo, Kier Starmer :lol: :lol:

Hi Ray, I take nothing away from the late Queen who did dedicate her life to that of which her role required, it is however time to move on and stop this "preposterous," waste of money. imo

I see the polls are showing a sharp decline in support for this archaic institution :clap: :D
