    Do you support the UK increase in the military budget?

    They can surrender to a pedalo just as easily as a battlecruiser.

    Ukraine and the Russian invasion, 2022-24

    ...up. As for how they treat Russian prisoners or deserters, it makes strategic sense to treat them well so as to encourage more desertions or surrenders. But then not every pissed off and exhausted soldier will be thinking about the big picture if they get one of the vicious invading horde in...

    Tory Leadership contest 2022

    Japan had already agreed to surrender before the bombs were dropped.

    Tory Leadership contest 2022

    I'm OK with the first one. The tricky part will be getting the French to last even 100 minutes without surrendering.

    How would you prioritise the vaccine schedule?

    I've been advised by a doctor not to have vaccines after previous severe reactions. I do not have a doctor's note saying 'exempt from vaccines' because I have never needed one. If that changes then me and a lot of other people will have to go and waste our GPs' time, during a pandemic, to get...

    75 Year Anniversary of the Bombing of Dresden, justified or not?

    ...involved? Were the as yet unborn children who suffered and died as a result of these weapons also culpable? Japan was prepared to surrender before the bombs were dropped, this is a matter of record. Even assuming those attacks were necessary to secure unconditional surrender, the...

    75 Year Anniversary of the Bombing of Dresden, justified or not?

    The major sticking point in the negotiations for Japan's surrender prior to the atomic bombings was the fate of the emperor. The septics wanted him stripped of his title, and though the Japanese were already resigned to the fact that surrender was inevitable, they would not accept these terms...

    75 Year Anniversary of the Bombing of Dresden, justified or not?

    Were those people aware that the Japanese had agreed surrender terms before the bombs were dropped?

    Game of thrones season 8 [contains spoilers]

    I would forgive the parlay nonsense if it was well written but it wasn't. Tyrion being an utter mug yet again.

    Tommy Robinson, the court case and (guffaw) 'free speech'

    Big look-at-me demos have never been much use for effective mobilisation against fascists. The best actions I've been involved in have involved multiple small groups, good communication, adaptability and intelligence. By the time enough of them have formed up unopposed to attack anything, you've...

    Guardsman wears turban

    Roundels. They're there for communication with other aircraft. A Blue ring with a red circle in the centre means 'fellow British aviator here what what, be a good sport and don't shoot me down or I'll never hear the end of it back at HQ' while a red ring with a blue circle in it means 'I surrender'.

    Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

    Well quite. If basic courtesy feels like an act of submission then getting through a typical day must be a real struggle. Submission is a surrender of agency; courtesy is using your agency to make life slightly more pleasant for someone else, or just to avoid making life needlessly unpleasant...

    Is this a Tory free zone?

    ...at the YMCA community centre, because it's always a swappie trap. Whatever the issue at hand, the solution always turns out to be, 'surrender your will to the SWP and this time next year we'll all be living in socialist utopia!' The christians use the exact same trick of course. We'll help...

    Destroying hobbyist drones

    President Hollande has issued a statement to the effect that France has surrendered unconditionally to its new drone overlords.

    Copper shoots himself.

    ...inquest, 'I was holding it against my chest like this. I couldn't tell if I was raising the gun to take a shot or to throw it away and surrender to myself, but i was totally focussed on this gun right? In that moment I honestly thought I was about to fire, and that the only way to stop me...

    Mark Duggan shooting inquest in London finally starts...

    ...that either the copper was ten feet tall or Duggan was leaning forward. The only non-police witness to this has said Duggan had his hands behind his head and was facing down, in a pose of surrender. This is the only version of what happened that would account for the angle of the bullet wound.

    Mark Duggan shooting inquest in London finally starts...

    The lack of DNA on the sock or gun, the position it was 'found' in and the angle of the bullet that killed Duggan are all pretty damning evidence that Duggan was visibly unarmed and surrendering when he was killed, and that the police conspired to cover it up. That's the only credible scenario here.

    Mark Duggan shooting inquest in London finally starts...

    I'm not sure I'd trust the police if I'd just watched them shoot down an unarmed man in cold blood.

    EU planning to operate fleet of drones, intelligence agency, airforce

    We should just divide up defence tasks amongst the existing armed forces of Europe. If we need some fat inbred ginger toff to blow up primary schools with a drone running off an xbox controller, we get the British to do it. If someone needs a jolly good surrendering to, we call the French.

    French Soldier Stabbed in Paris

    It's nothing to worry about, you only have to put on a German accent and they'll immediately surrender.
