We have one: HMS Illustrious.
Sadly true. Although starting to change under the Tories.
Much as I despise and dont understand your vicious antipathy to the UK.
I don’t have any vicious antipathy toward the UK just a realistic understanding of how the UK is doing its best to drag the rest of Western Civ down into the abyss of destruction. What would your opinion be if you realized that? What would you want to see happen with that country you know is doing that?
I was just listening to the AM radio at the top of the hour when they break for news this morning and heard that American citizens are now encouraged by the federal government to get measles immunization shots before they go to the UK. Why? Because there is a problem with the spread of measles there that borders on the verge of an epidemic. Just another nail in the old coffin, eh?
Now what could have caused a third world disease to re-emerge in a first world country where it was conquered many decades ago?
The UK is going to Hell in a hand basket. I’d like to see the USA break all ties with Old Blighty and just let her drift off into that abyss of suicidal destruction while we Americans try and turn things around here.
I think it is time to quarantine the UK to protect the rest of the world from her disease of Leftism. If that doesn’t work just bring out several neutron bombs and fire away. Within two generations it’s going to run by the Muzzies anyway so better to bleach the place now than rather than later.
1—You Americans get immunized against measles as small children.
2—So do we.
3—Measles is a disease that affects a low number of people in the UK (around 1500 a year in a population of 60 million).
4—You only ‘conquered’ measles in the US in 2000!. And that didnt last long.
5—There is no epidemic!. Again, about 1500 cases a year in the UK. The growing number is mainly due to concerned parents have stopped having their children vaccinated because of recent fears about a possible connection to autism. The American advice is simply caution. Dont be so hysterical.
‘The UK is going to Hell in a hand basket.’
Really, because we look at the US and see a violent country with a much higher murder rate, rape rate, gang problem, gun crime and gun death rate and 75% of the world serial killers. We see a country with deep seated racial problems, poor education standards, corrupt politics and a media that is little short of a joke.
Dont you ever think we and the rest of the world looks at America and says ‘no thanks’?....
‘I think it is time to quarantine the UK to protect the rest of the world from her disease of Leftism’
Our Prime Minister is a Conservative. Our govt is predominantly Conservative. Your President is a Democrat and a liberal.
Who is leftist again exactly?.
‘Within two generations it’s going to run by the Muzzies anyway so better to bleach the place now than rather than later.’
Yawn. I dont know whether its sad or laughable or frightening to think that there are people like you who think the Muslims are going to rule the UK in 10, 20 or 50 years. 1.6m people are going to end up ruling the other 60m.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the Muslims dont rule Britain, and never will.
Click on pic for past Navair pings. Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist. The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation. This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
You are correct.
Sales talk. Buncombe and bosh.
We're going to leave our military impotent with this crap -- all because the investment bankers and Communists agreed to de-fund military and naval aviation.
The Seventh Fleet was using Ryan Firebee "Bumpy Mothers" to deliver pairs of 500-lb love letters to North Vietnamese AA artillerists 40-plus years ago.
