Hi John, I've said before - the way this country is heading with Two Tier Kier Stasi in charge, it's only a matter of time before WE are part of the Indian Empire. Payback for what our ancestors did.

Re: China launches 3rd Aircraft carrier
Really, Starmer became PM just over two months ago and you say it is only a matter of time before we are part of the Indian Empire. Who sold British steel to the Chinese in 2020. The Chinese are showing interest in buying Tata steel.
Who sold the Utility companies out of public ownership in the 1980's/90's
The water companies are pumping raw sewage into the rivers and the sea as they see fit. They are insisting they need to increase charges to customers as they need investment capital so they can make make improvements to reduce these sewage discharges. They still payed dividends to of £965 million in 2021/2022
How much has the former government handed out to China & India to keep steel production still going in the UK. The figure is almost £1 billion.
So run that by me again
With Kier Starmer in charge it is only a matter of time before the UK is part of the Indian Empire ?
Seriously, I think that horse has well left the stable over the last 20 years or so. Don't put this on the new government, you need to take the blinkers of and really look at who did what and when.

Re: China launches 3rd Aircraft carrier
#13 Gino my mother always used to say that the Bible mentions that the world will be run by a yellow race of people, although must say I have never found it , but haven’t looked too hard. However if she learned that from her parents then we are going back at least 200 years, so what we are being told today is really only old news. Cheers JS

Re: China launches 3rd Aircraft carrier
James, no matter which party we prefer we always blame the previous for things we do not like.
It is easy for any gov to blame the previous, they are now in charge.
Remember they are the shop window, for the public servants, the constant factor as govs come and go, and many polices come from them.
Then of course the ministers who have 'advisors' often those who convince the minister to take a certain path, one maybe that suits the advisor!!!!!

Re: China launches 3rd Aircraft carrier
John, Not just the UK, the West is being bought up wholesale by the Chinese , Indians , Arabs and Russia, well at least there is a hold on Putin for a while , even the USA is being flogged off.
How come!!! well greedy men & women fat cats as they are often referred to.
Concerning the UK you can lay the blame for that on Thatcher & the Champange socialist Blair ( just so I cannot be called Biased) in my views.
The rich get richer the poor get poorer and when there is nothing left to sell , the rich will decide they want it back to sell again . Then we will have a jolly old war, and who will they ask to fight it!!!! the poor as they will be promised a land fit for hero's
Did I just make that up or was it some Welsh fella , not Des but I am sure he will know who I am talking about.
What a world we are leaving behind us for our grand children and great grand children, we should hang our heads in shame.

Re: China launches 3rd Aircraft carrier
James, very little different in today to the days of the serfs and overlords.
We are the people, we vote in anticipation of better time.
We are promised the world by the would be polis.
Yes they promise the earth and dump us with a bucket of soil.
