>the people making these decisions don’t need a job

Ok but the thousands of people that work for them do…

It’s their job to make money.

It’s the regulators who are supposed to be the ones ‘giving a fuck’.

They decide the rules, the corporations just follow them. Mostly.

None of your rights have been taken away, total hyperbole.

Have a look into the state of the Scottish NHS and education systems, an absolute shambles.

How do you think they pay for free University places? By stripping out the rest of the education budget.

How do you think they pay for free prescriptions? By bleeding the rest of the NHS dry.

All the SNP have done is make populist promises funded by cuts elsewhere, and push for their ultimate agenda of small minded nationalism at any cost.

She literally had one policy, which she failed to achieve. Everything in Scotland that the devolved government has control over is a shitshow.

Are you mad?

Yep

But only mildly

Can I please have a go in your alternate timeline machine?

> Britain's military withdrawal from Mali was inevitable. Once the French announced they were leaving their former West African colony it was unsustainable for the UK to maintain its small contingent, based in the remote town of Gao. Taken together, the departure of western forces from this troubled Sahel nation is a setback for global counter-terrorism. Ten years ago the French rushed in troops to successfully stop al-Qaeda from overrunning the capital. David Cameron, Britain's PM at the time, vowed Britain would play its part to stop it becoming a wellspring for jihadist terrorism. But a recent military coup has wrecked relations between Mali and the western nations trying to shore up its security. Mali's leaders have gone into partnership with Russia's Wagner mercenary group. Not only are these former Russian soldiers accused of committing atrocities in Africa but Wagner have mounted an effective social media campaign to persuade local citizens to drive out the French. Both the British and French governments are trying to put a brave face on this dire situation, saying they will continue to monitor the region from nearby countries like Niger. But the truth is the West has lost the battle for hearts and minds in Mali and there is now a growing risk that the jihadists of the Islamic State group and al-Qaeda will exploit this situation to their own advantage.

Wagner scumbags fucking up another country for profit.

Not good how?

I think you’re underestimating how 50 years of poor storage can affect stockpiles.

They’re having to buy missiles and drones from Iran and artillery shells from N Korea for a reason…

And their tactics haven’t moved on much since the 1940s so yeah…
