If the easiest and most convenient pic had been vdv or the Clone Army of the Republic I would have posted that, because the distinction is irrelevant to the subject of the post.

I knew, because I uploaded the image with the caption and attribution. I just didn't care, because it wasn't faintly pertinent to the subject of the post.

The whole internet loves Cola Bottle Nate, a lovely guy who almost kills himself eating Haribro cola bottles! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you Mr. Rimmington is racist

Nathan Rimmington, 33, is a haulier and owner of an HGV driving school in Barnsley. Huge, tattooed, always sweating and always pining for a pint, he is portrayed in the series as an incorrigible joker: "If the government don't crack down on immigration, my kids will have to go to school on fucking camels."

I remember sitting in a room listening to Scholz advisor Wolfgang Schmidt blather that Germany couldn’t possibly send Ukraine tanks because there’d be German iron crosses painted on them and then Russia would say Germany was at war with Russia.

We can and must go further. 🇺🇦🇩🇪💪
