  1. cheers dude , I see it was posted virtually at the same time, hey great minds think alike .... anyway the timewarp has a video now ..I really did think it was a prop as I thought the drivers port seemed a bit off and the gun was certainly iffy but its a bit cooler being real
  2. Thought you guys might like to see this.... I dont think its a real pIV but nice never the less
  3. Whoever burns wet wood is an idiot and should not be allowed a box of matches nevermind a woodburner
  4. Speaking of Russia, Boris Johnson has explained Vladimir Putin threatened him with a missile strike before changing his mind to the dismay of everyone in the UK. However, Putin has denied he threatened to nuke Johnson because he's spent far too much money bribing Tories and getting his mates into the House of Lords to throw it all away now. Johnson is one of Putin's key investments and this makes him one of the safest politicians on Earth... until he's served his purpose. This may shock you, but it looks like double agent Johnson was lying again to mask his undercover activities and this was totally unexpected. We had gone literally weeks without hearing a Johnson lie, although to be fair, that's just because we'd not heard him say anything. Brexit is achieving its goals so effectively that Guy Verhofstadt said Putin might not have invaded Ukraine without Brexit, which is interesting because I thought lefties were supposed to be the Putin enablers. Honestly, it's exhausting constantly flipping between Putin being our enemy and our friend, but what matters is he pays well and you don't want to know what kompromat he has. The footage of Johnson pissing himself while wearing spandex like Dafydd from Little Britain is still giving me nightmares! https://abnormalisland.blogspot.com/2023/01/brexit-going-brilliantly-isnt-it-its.htm
  5. being Scottish and Jewish ... two ethnic minorities for the price of one
  6. The Czech National Social Party were not Nazis.
  7. well Prussia was a vassal of the commonwealth after 1525
  8. I doubt it, look at how they are looking the other way in relation to Azerbaijani activities so that the gas keeps flowing (and how much of that is repackaged Russian gas?) Or the way that they turn a blind eye on Burma so the profits keep flowing. Mammon will allways win hands down against morality.
  9. I have said so for decades, my go to saying is 'far left, far right, same shit different smell' Only because they are so technically incompetent that they cannot get on the dark web to do it! 😆 I've followed the degredation of the Tory party, I do think its similar to the CP at the end of the USSR, (i mean food rotting in the fields, non ending double think around brexit, the cult of personality around Boris, identification of 'enemies of the people' because they use fact and rationality to point out issues, blaming regime mistakes and failures on wreckers and saboteurs, continual pro regime propaganda in the media) ...I quite sure there is a book in it somewhere.... But the obvious corruption is there to be seen anyone with two braincells knows that its a falsehood that the £160,000 that Russian Oligarchs/ex ministers wife paid to the Tories for Boris Johnson to have a tennis match with her was because she wanted a game of tennis with him . But they pretend it that was the fact....
  10. You are preaching to the converted here brother, you used get the pro USSR lot which were either far lefties or Cambridge pseuds, now there is not even the semblence of ideological reasoning behind this pro Russia malarky beyond money, and you hate who we hate. The Tory/UK right's love in with Putin is almost as embarassing as the lefties one in the 50's with Uncle Jo. I mean another Tory govt and then we will be stuck with this I do not know if its true and you probably are more aware on UK military matters than me, but I read somewhere that BoJo deliberately blocked UK transference of NLAWS for several weeks/months last year (cant find the article again) had you seen anything on this? I cyncally think that all the Tory pro-Ukraine is almost virtue signalling after all the Russian (and other dubious sourced) money they have taken. Then again I also think there are some in the USA who want this war to be unwinnable by both sides, and continue for as long as possible as it is making vast amounts of money, and that it ties up Russia who could aid China over Taiwan whether/whenever that blows up.
  11. Of course we dont have the most corrupt government since Clive of India/ lloyd george (please choose according to your political preferences) https://bylinetimes.com/2023/01/31/the-corruption-league-of-shame/ But then again we do have an economy which is depedent on/ designed for money laundering https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jul/07/london-estate-agents-caught-on-camera-russian-buyer and thats without looking at crown dependencies and other such places
  12. Interesting article on possible source of further weapons deliveries. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/31/ukraine-europe-tanks-belgian-buyer-oip
  13. From what I understand it voluntary agreements are as such, because they are not backed up with leglislation (hence voluntary) but I think, depending on what the agreement is relating to, and whatever the situation has occured, a civil action by an individual effected by the company's non compliance with the agreement can occur (no guarentee it wont be thrown out). If criminal proceedings are brought, its not due to the voluntary agreement, but due to leglislation concerning what has occurred, for example if an under 18 buys a knife that has been on display in the window of a shop, which is then used to attack someone, the shopkeeper will be chrged with selling the knife to an under 18, nothing to do with the display. I'm back in work on friday, I'll ask my mate who is a lawyer the ins and outs of it and post their answer for you. But the point in the UK is what I stated earlier voluntary agreements are generally created by business or industry to stall any possible proposed leglislation or taxation, such as the food industry with unhealthy food / sugar levels. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langas/article/PIIS2468-1253(20)30334-4/fulltext
  14. nothing ...really nothing. UK voluntary agreements are like boris Johnson and the truth, technically they can work / he can tell the truth, but in reality ... no it wont happen, and there are far far, worse ones, industry generally undertakes them to fob off any possible leglislation and at the same time allows the govt to pretend they have done something about it.
  15. Who on earth told you that one as it is quite false https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sale-of-knives-voluntary-agreement-by-retailers/sale-of-knives-voluntary-agreement-by-retailers
