"We provoked this war" - Plastic patriot Nigel Farage on Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Just over one hundred years ago, King George V changed the name of the British royal family from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor.

The decision to adopt Windsor as the family name came amid strong anti-German feeling during the first world war. But the turning point was public anger at air raids over London, and in particular the bombing of a school in the East End.

On 13 June 1917, the Germans began daylight raids on Britain and in one of the first attacks 18 children were killed when a bomb fell directly onto Upper North Street School in Poplar. German Gotha bombers carried out the strike - by coincidence, the same name as the royal family.

EVIKING

Think you posted another earlier post about this massive project awhile ago.

Amazing engineering.

Just hope the Ruskes don't blow it up.

A pint sized TRUMP

Makes you wonder where Farage gets it from... "Russia has accused Poland of provoking the outbreak of the Second World War by refusing to accede to the "very modest" demands of Nazi Germany."

Historical fact

On 17 September 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east, 16 days after Nazi Germany invaded Poland from the west. (We declared War on Germany 2nd Sept 1939

Subsequently Germany turned on Russia who then became our Ally)

"most want to be associated,with the drones "

far far safer ....no-one wants to get blown up!

Finally summer HAS arrived.

Happy days.....

I thought Ukraine were short of battlefield troops with reports that some were evading conscription.

A pound shop Trump.

NOM ....you're suggesting.........

Basically an electric town car. Using public transport for occasional longer journeys.(holidays)

But sales people like my daughter whose job entails frequent long journings would need another type of car.

Solution....hydrogen cars (already in Japan like the leaf) ?

TROAJAN

The West is now building GIGA battery plants . Over 30 in EU...including a Tesla plant. Plus a couple here.

But as usual the West was slow......waiting for private Co's to provide prompted by Gov. subsidies.

In contrast the Chinese Gov takes the lead and ploughs in mega bucks including (hidden) subsides for every car. Their plan to grab 100% of our markets m8

EV sales in EU tumble....

EV 'Germany, which has the largest EV market out of the 27 countries in the group, prematurely cut its subsidies for buyers of the vehicles as part of a last-minute 2024 budget deal."

With a second cut in November .....MAYBE.

Not good these relative high interest rates.
