    James O’Brien says the UK is still a super soft non-hate power and we must have open borders for all of the middle east ** not in his house. Also likes Brexit being canned and joining the EU. UK is now weather dependent – which is a good think according to James. 10/10 from James. James also likes influences who sell fat jabs.

    “James O’Brien gives verdict on Starmer’s address to the nation | LBC ”

    Comment “Is this the turning point where they stop trying to pander to reformers?”

    Comment “My parents have been totally changed by the Daily Mail over the years. I can no longer even reach them politically.”

    Comment “Just need to stop US from using UK land to fly bombs to the illegal war.”

    To my Jewish compatriots who post or read here,
    I am praying that you have a peaceful Passover despite this present time of trouble.

    Apr. 1, 2026 at 12:54pm “Several medium-range (MR) tankers have departed from the New York area and are sailing across the Atlantic Ocean to the United Kingdom, as the country faces a dwindling supply of jet fuel. This unusual movement of vessels is an attempt to alleviate the shortages, which have arisen as the last shipment from the Middle East nears the English coast.

    Why it matters
    The UK’s jet fuel supply crunch is a symptom of broader global energy market disruptions, with potential impacts on air travel, logistics, and the broader economy. The rare transatlantic voyages highlight the lengths suppliers must go to in order to meet demand, underscoring the fragility of energy supply chains.

    The details
    The MR tankers, which typically carry between 25,000 and 50,000 metric tons of cargo, are making the journey from New York to the UK in an effort to supplement the dwindling jet fuel supplies. This unusual movement of vessels across the Atlantic is a direct response to the impending arrival of the final shipment from the Middle East, which industry analysts say will not be enough to meet the UK’s current needs.

    The MR tankers departed from the New York area in late March 2026.
    The final jet fuel shipment from the Middle East is expected to reach the English coast in early April 2026.”

    I heard that France, like Australia has introduced laws to stop under 16s access to social media. Three people have been arrested for the chaos in Croydon; a 16 year old and 2 13 year olds (or so I read somewhere). I don’t suppose for one moment those rampaging through M&S would not have access to the social media whatever the law.
