I keep getting asked how a Matelot can have the badge collection that I do, I spent too much time arguing with someone who was trying to “out” me as a Walter Mitty so here’s the last 28 years in short thread. Not in any chronological order as it would end up a rambling thread.

Is this the incident where a young lass was called a racist by @HumzaYousaf ? Did he every apologies for that smear?

Just saw the @BBCNews that the fort hood killer is going to be shot on a live stream, I think @danawhite and @joerogan should now be involved. If you're going to go for it, go big! Pay for view, proceeds go to the families of those he killed. (Disclaimer, this is satire!)

Imagine waking up to news that 5,000–6,000 people had crossed from the Isle of Wight into Hampshire. Not a handful of attackers. Thousands. That's the approximate scale of the incursion into southern Israel on 7 October 2023. Here's what that looks like in British terms. 🧵

Having said all this... Gaza is not geographically identical to the Isle of Wight. The attackers weren't one conventional military formation, and the numbers include people who weren't armed combatants. But the geographical and numerical comparison helps explain the scale.

On 7/1023, 1.2k people were killed in Israel and 251 were taken hostage. The attack wasn't a small border raid. It was a large, coordinated assault affecting numerous communities. If this was the UK that was attacked, the IoW would be a carpark by now, and rightly so.

Palestinians led by Hamas did this, they filmed what they did with pride. They're now being hunted down for what they did. Some would call the Israel response genocide, some would call it justice, some would call it revenge. Whatever it is, I fully support it.

Sometimes I think I bang the drum too much about support my for Israel, then I remember Oct 7th and the horrors that Palestinian civilians led by Hamas visited upon them. We can't bang the drum loud enough. #NeverAgainIsNow

Paramedic: drops patient while transfer from chair to trolley, Pt bangs head. Later dies from complication from head injury. Gets struck off. Is it right? Yes if not using the correct process to transfer the Pt and they knowingly did not follow SOP.

So either the police SOP is to taser 92 year old dementia suffering amputees and should have kept their jobs, or the officers didn't follow SOPs and we're super aggressive and deserve to lose their jobs. My view is, they were wrong and policing is not for them

October 7, 2023. Gazan civilians raided Israeli homes and brutally murdered, burned alive, and kidnapped entire families, including women and children. This is who they are.

Imagine if, on the anniversary of Hiroshima, Americans marched past Japanese communities waving American flags and denouncing Japan. Or if Britain chose the anniversary of Dresden to stage victory marches through London. We don’t. Those dates are treated with sensitivity because whatever your view of the wider war, the anniversary of mass civilian death is not the day to celebrate. Yet on 7 October — the anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust — demonstrators have deliberately chosen to march through London for the Palestinian cause. They do it, simply, because they are utterly repugnant human beings

The most shocking thing about this, I'd it took the @BBCNews this long to admit they're infiltrated by activists and are biased. @Mr_Andrew_Fox
🚨NEW: The BBC has launched an urgent review after it emerged the 53 people it reported as "journalists" killed in Gaza have since been claimed as terrorists by Hamas and other groups

Today I learned that Tesla drivers can be a bit dickish when it comes to merge in turn in roadworks. And while they may not want to let you in, their crash detection camera system does. Thank you @elonmusk !

I now realise, with a stopped clock being correct twice a day of course, @David_Cameron was bang on with this one. #OnThisDayInHistory

My hard take on the #lindseyclancy trial is no man, none, would line the route to cheer on the person that killed their 3 kids. Absolutely wild scenes.
