Well that's a very kind offer, but shelling Dover from the seafront to Buckland Bridge has been tried before and anyway we have an initiative of our own now.

Just back from St Margarets.
Tried to take photographs but have all come out a bit blurry.
Had difficulty actually seeing the flotilla until it was pointed out by a nice old bearded guy who was up there.
He seemed a bit confused as he kept referring to 'our fleet'!
Here's a picture of him pointing vessels out.

I don't think those regulations are applied to naval vessels, we would probably have to move our naval base's north if they did

Those of us with a brain will be aware that none of the others passing through were loaded with aircraft primed with bombs to murder innocent people in Aleppo in order to save the skin of a genocidal dictator.

I find it very strange that Mr, Putin and his Russian colleagues get criticised globally for doing virtually the same things that the usa/uk coalition have done several times, not least of all B'liars illegal war founded on 'made up' facts, Am I the only one who has noticed this ?

It's pretty straightforward really. We are the good guys. The Russians are not us. Therefore the Russians are the bad guys. Therefore they deserve our criticism. Da?

Apparently, FACTS go down well here. Here goes, my child of post #19.
Population of Russia 143.5 million as of 2013 - all of whom are the spawn of Satan.
Population of UK 64.1 million as of 2013 - all of whom are God's own children.

Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.
