Ah yeah. It’s what came directly from the beeb so I blame them.

- Comment on UK flying reaper drones above Lebanon from Cyprus base 1 week ago:
Why wouldn’t Israel have a free spy plane fly for them?
I’m sure Israel can spare a single drone to fly over Lebanon, they don’t need to use anyone else to do that for them.
- Comment on UK flying reaper drones above Lebanon from Cyprus base 1 week ago:
That and breaking into a military base and damaing hardware.
- Comment on UK flying reaper drones above Lebanon from Cyprus base 1 week ago:
The UK has been criticising Israel for attacking Lebanon though.
Like I said, if Israel wanted recon they can just use their own drones. Seems like people are jumping to the conclusion that we’re gathering intel for Israel rather than collecting our own Intel to get an idea of what’s going on.
- Comment on UK flying reaper drones above Lebanon from Cyprus base 1 week ago:
Israel would use their own drones. Why use the RAF? Seems more likely it’s the UK gathering intel on what Israel is doing.

It’s likely that most acts decent enough to headline are already fully booked for the summer.

It’s a shame every country affected couldn’t sue the US and Israel for compensation.

This is pretty sick. Now we need a review of all the best pubs on the route.
- Comment on [Video] British journalist Steve Sweeney bombed by Israel while reporting in Lebanon 4 weeks ago:
Imgur blocks traffic from the UK, so many of us can’t see this without being on a VPN and switching to a different country.
@RubberDuck@lemmy.world Any chance you can use a different host?

Not great that people there’s 700 going to be out of a job, but I won’t shed a tear for the company. Their prices were always outrageous.

- Comment on Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question 5 weeks ago:
My friend was revising for his UK citizenship test back in 2012. I had a couple of goes on a mock test and I failed it both times. The questions were absurd and I’d bet most people wouldn’t know about and were of no relevance to British culture.
- Comment on FIFA hikes 2026 World Cup parking prices, including for disabled fans 5 weeks ago:
Oh yeah I totally expet their rates to increase massively. And for people who made a reservation a long time ago who paid under the normal fee to have their booking suddenly cancelled.
- Comment on FIFA hikes 2026 World Cup parking prices, including for disabled fans 5 weeks ago:
FIFA is now charging around $175 on average for parking spots at 2026 World Cup games in the United States.
Holy shit - $175 to park your vehicle for one game?! What’s the chances that these venues are completely inacessible to public transport / walking?

- Comment on Doom Bar maker Sharp’s Brewery in Cornwall to be closed by US owner 1 month ago:
I wonder if St Austell brewery would be interested in buying it? It would help keep its Cornish heritage.
I’m suprised that it’s such a popular beer though, personally I’ve never liked it.
- Comment on US stealth fighter fleet spotted over Lancashire as Trump threatens strikes on Iran 1 month ago:
We heard this last night. We live under a flight corridor and not that far from Manchester & Liverpool so it’s not too unusual to hear air traffic, but this was extremely loud and lasted for about 10 minutes. Checked Flight Radar and there were two USAF refueling jets overhead, although it didn’t show any other jets.

- Comment on Banned Mullvad VPN TV ad criticizing United Kingdom escalating censorship and mass surveillance “And Then?” 1 month ago:
I try it every now and again but I simply don’t “get” the format. This isn’t an issue wtih Mastodon, it’s just that style of social media, I had the same issue with Twitter. The vast majority of content seems to be people just dumping their thoughts into a post. I think it’s because I have no interest in following people, but topics, which I find that Lemmy/Reddit easier to follow.
- Comment on Banned Mullvad VPN TV ad criticizing United Kingdom escalating censorship and mass surveillance “And Then?” 1 month ago:
Yep, the vast majority of people will pick the path of least resitance, and signing up to centralised services are usually very familiar and easy. Throw in the concept of instances / servers, and suddenly people are confused - they don’t know what that means for their experience and it gives them a choice paralysis.
