Ok let me make it a little clearer after that wiki deflection. What makes you think I ever thought the UK ruled the waves?

Mind reader now? When did I think the UK ruled the waves?

So you are disputing what the EU Ambassador to the UK Pedro Serrano said? "that is not the case" There is not years available by the way. Orders need to be signed now with contractors no matter how long it takes to fulfill them.

You may have something there. Problem solved.............. "The UK is definitely included." Sky's @tamcohen asks the EU Ambassador to the UK Pedro Serrano about reports that UK defence companies would be excluded from the EU's rearmament plans.

The EU is happy to sign a security pact with the UK, its only France and their fishing rights problem putting a spanner in the works. Why? is that more important than the Russia problem to France?

Can the rest of Europe cope without the UK in this coalition of the willing?

Bang on. Some more on the French demands and problem making here. The Russians are at the gates. Obviously it’s time for France to pick a fight with Britain What’s the most pressing issue? French fishing boats, or Russian warships? It is understood that the pressure for this comes from the French, who want concessions on access for French fishing vessels to UK waters as well as a “youth mobility scheme” which would allow 18-30 year-olds to work and live in each other’s countries.

Wow, you can't actually celebrate the release of a US citizen held for 2 years without a dig at Trump

The problem being your in the wrong topic with Jan 6th

nobody is whiter than white or any country. There is no comparison with Hamas and Israel though.

Are they looking under our beds ? I don't know? Ask Security expert Will Geddes who stated it. He'll tell ya!

Of those 7,000 terrorists, a couple of thousand of them were Gazan civilians. We already know through the released hostages statements and the wild scenes of the baying crowds at the exchanges just how they echo Hamas in their hate and some much more than that.

I do hate the Russian that rammed the boat last week, you got me. He also killed someone but regards this incident, I will leave it to the experts opinions which I have already shared.

Yes lets jump and smear the Russians, I know you hate it..

Ok, here's some more smearing from the experts.... 'The Russians are looking at everything. They're looking at our fibre optics under the sea, they're looking at our nuclear power stations, we know hostile reconnaissance is going on right now. 'If I was a foreign hostile party and I wanted to disrupt one of the busiest airports in the world, cause international embarrassment, create many, many question marks, I would target something like a substation. Security expert Will Geddes, director and founder of the International Corporate Protection Group

Oh no you got me, ok it was Trump who told me the Russians did it. Or perhaps you should have realized the emoji left in my post was there for a reason lighten up. That said, it was not long ago a Russian rammed the boat on the North Sea Is Russia behind Heathrow Airport closure? Probe into substation fire launched as experts say blaze exposes huge 'vulnerability' in Britain's critical national infrastructure Western officials have accused Russia and its proxies of staging dozens of attacks and other incidents across Europe since the invasion of Ukraine three years ago. They allege that the disruption campaign is an extension of President Putin's war, intended to sow division in European societies and undermine support for Ukraine - although the Kremlin has denied carrying out sabotage efforts against the West. Now, experts are analysing whether Russia could be linked to the Heathrow fire, which is affecting 679 flights scheduled to land and 678 departures from the hub. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14522635/Russia-Heathrow-Airport-closure-fire-investigation.html#:~:text=Western officials have,from the hub.

Its the Russians, has to be

Forget the oy vey

More evidence of Hamas stealing the food that was donated free for Gazan civilians, ‘I saw Hamas terrorists carrying boxes with the UN and UNRWA emblems on them into the tunnels — dozens and dozens of boxes, paid for by your government,’ he said. ‘They would eat many meals a day from the UN aid in front of us, and we never received any of it.’ This was deliberate cruelty: in Hamas’ flaunting of their control over aid stolen from their own citizens in Gaza, they carried out a calculated humiliation of our hostages. Hamas ‘eats like kings,’ while our hostages starve Today, Eli Sharabi stood before the United Nations Security Council and held up to the audience a photo of the family he lost. His wife Lianne, and his daughters Noiya, 16, and Yahel, 13, were all murdered by Hamas terrorists in the safe room of their home in Kibbutz Be’eri. His elder brother, Yossi, was also taken captive alongside him and has since been confirmed dead, and Hamas continues to hold his body. Looking directly at his audience, he said, ‘Remember this: Hamas eats like kings, while hostages starve.’ https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/hamas-eats-like-kings-while-our-hostages-starve/ “I have come back from hell. I was kept underground, starved, beaten and chained like an animal. For 491 days, I begged for food, begged to use the bathroom, begging became my existence.” He was starved. Tortured. Held in unimaginable conditions for hundreds of days. Listen to Eli Sharabi’s harrowing testimony at the @UN Security Council today.

What difference would the religion of a taxi driver make? oy vey!

The bias just goes on and on. From the Spokeswoman, Israeli Embassy to the UK BBC BIAS (yet again) Today my team received this remarkable message from a @BBC producer at @bbcworldservice . They don’t want to interview someone knowledgeable, nor someone relevant, just someone who fits the predetermined narrative. There is nothing balanced or impartial about this. BBC apologises to Israeli embassy after asking for anti-Netanyahu speaker Corporation admits 'serious mistake' in request for speaker on news programme The BBC has issued an “unreserved apology” to the Israeli embassy after a producer requested a guest who would be critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The corporation admitted the request was a “serious mistake” that “clearly falls well below our standards.” The controversy arose when a BBC World Service producer contacted the Israeli embassy in London on Thursday morning, seeking a guest for the Newshour programme who would be “critical of Netanyahu.” https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/bbc-apologises-to-israeli-embassy-after-asking-for-anti-netanyahu-speaker-jvk4ksst

Great news. A 5 year stretch will do nicely, maybe more. Never an excuse for this, they deserve all they get.

what topic are we on? they are at the same place as this mentioned in the OP. What makes no sense is that you have no idea of how a mask ban is implemented, New York mentioned in the OP is not the only one considering banning them. "California, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Florida make it an offense to wear a mask if the person commits a crime or intends to commit a crime." Guns are not allowed in New York college campuses.

No just facts if you read the topic.

If I wanted to quote Mr Witkoff I would have done, I didn't
