Seems to me the Russians have run out of Armoured Vehicles and have few tanks left.
Like World War 1, but with a kill zone 20 miles back from the front due to FPV drones.

Yeh it’s very different in many ways. I think it’s the first to have drive by wire and 48 volt architecture, doesn’t need painting so if it is scratched you just polish it out. The electrical system which runs over network wires in a token ring is revolutionary.
But the planar looks will not please.

So President Trump shaves then complain that everyone is looking at his bald thing under his neck - not sure what it should be called - but it’s not true what they say about him being a d*ck head. 😂🤣😂

President Trump should get his cook to fry everything for him in animal fat as a protest at the China cooking oil issue.

I would have thought in the US, a land which allows it’s citizens to carry firearms arms in public, that a naked person would be less threatening.

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)

If you want to see the results of having an absolute monarch, then just take a look at North Korea.

Oh Boris Johnson being salty. I imagine he is missing that large wine cellar he built up, all the parties, the photo ops when he could relax and act in character. 😂🤣😂

Of glass shrapnel, but something travelling low velocity whatever.
I can understand the President being led away, he probably 💩 himself, as he never was in the armed forces was he?

Many British people would not pass A level English, so that is discriminator, in the extreme.

I think China is getting it’s soya beans from Brazil.
US made economic war on Brazil by slapping a 50% tariff on them.
China might be thinking the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Apparently many gen Zs cannot tell the time from an analog clock.
That’s fine by me as I can’t read a sundial.
I don’t however think sundials should be banned.

Of course that won’t help you in the event your vehicle is sinking in deep water, as the water pressure will stop the door opening.

The doors on all Teslas can be opened manually, however.
I guess many people that ride in them don’t know that they might be locked in electronically.
Quite frankly they should have window sticker warnings detailing manual open instructions.

It has to be said that all cars are potential death traps, and most accidents have a human cause not mechanical or electronic.
What is needed is to limit the top speed of vehicles and the power. There is no earthly reason why a vehicle - other than perhaps police - needs to go from 0 - 60 in 3 secs

The flags are a hazard in many places obscuring road traffic signs, sign posts showing directions and street lighting.
I don’t see why people that have flag fetishes can‘t just put them up outside their own houses.

Additionally the government rakes in 5% tax on energy in the home and 20% if it is through commercial electricity for charging EV’s.

A quarter of the average UK energy bill last year was profit for the big energy companies.

Meanwhile, almost three million households in England suffer fuel poverty.

No one should be choosing between heating and eating while energy companies rake in billions.

Absolute pure rubbish.
The Conservatives have always cut spending unless it was to feather their own nests.
We lived though 14 years of their austerity from 2010 to 2024.
The schools and hospitals were falling apart, roads full of potholes, prisons overflowing.

After you vote reform, you get to see what sort of demon you have summoned.
Much like the #Brexit which Farage helped inflict on us.
