Brexit is getting better and better.

Hi

is that a fucking ramp

In the winter it doubles as an Olympic training venue.

>Ramp

into the trash it goes.

Voulez-Vouuuuuus

I think I'm depressed again lads

The media posted articles about how "those spooky 4channers are killing people again!"
Other than that, nothing.
How else are you going to practice your sick ski flips?

like our govt would every have the balls to buy more aircraft carriers, too violent for them

Anyone watching child of our time? The jewish girl is fit.

Britain YES!

The Left had mine as well burn Union Jacks out on the streets with how much they hate Britain. I'M more patriotic than some of these people.

The entirety of the media class is composed of these people. The entirety. How is such a stranglehold broken?

...

...

that aitcraft carrier is crap tbf.

and i say that as both an Englishman, and a connoisseur of big fuck-off military tech.

no wonder the burgers laugh- they have the right if this is the best we can come up with.

i keep thinking about after death recently lads

how can we just die?
like how can that be it ?
it doesn't make sense when we have a conscience or a voice inside my head like how can it all just end

i'm scared lads

the left in this country is a joke, they have their heads up the mudskins asses and want to make anyone born in britain extinct

You're just jealous your aircraft carriers can't be used as skate parks.

This. What the fuck is going on? A ramp?

Is this, dare I say it, the epitome of British Cuisine?

>tfw meeting at work tomorrow with HR

feeling nervous lads

My only comfort is knowing this shit ends at some point. Why would anyone want to live forever?

Fucking hilarious

When will he have a complete mental breakdown? He looks more unhinged in every media interview.

because shes worth it.

...

When I finish my A-Levels in June I'm thinking of leaving a copy of pic related behind on my Blairite history teacher's desk.

but when it ends you won't know if i believe that nothing happens after death

how can we be so intelligent if we are all just a heartbeat or some brain signals

i don't get it , it doesn't feel right that all of this should just end , never to be remembered, never to be experienced again

>One complaint
I wonder who that was?

>With HR
You should be nervous.

...

That is the way of life.

To quote Steven Hawking - 'Heaven is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.'

Well, he was a jew tbf

GRRRRRR THE FUCKING RIGHT-WING MEDIA AT IT AGAIN! HOW DO WE STOP THEM??

No, chips are.

Any idea why?

No fucking wonder why we have a troops shortage with that in charge

RIP your job.

Enjoy getting arrested for hate speech.

and i dont understand conscience

>"I have never before dealt with a subject as divisive and upsetting (including passionate criticisms of religion etc.). It's a challenge I would usually enjoy but (perhaps because I'm not doing it well enough) it is proving to be a nightmare.

Maybe because his '20 minute piece on Brexit' is just a fucking diatribe against the working class, calling them Hitler retards and spouting the same absolute drivel that millions of media types and leftists have done before.

My assumption is that he doesn't once mention Cameron threatening us with WW3 etc.

Cunt. They're all cunts.

Nice cuck ramp on that carrier

censorship obviously

They read his blog posts on Sup Forums

But seriously I would be instantly fired if they found out what I wrote here

What's the worst thing you have said?

He's not wrong though. The media, being the Blairite coalition it is, is almost entirely unified against him. Hell, even the Guardian only shows tepid support.

I don't think he'd be winning any elections, but I'm sure his poll numbers would be far higher if they treated him fairly, maybe 7-10 points behind the tories.

>outside London
No surprise.

He also had a go at an LBC interviewer today for asking him questions about how Labour will lose 100 seats.

lbc.co.uk/news/uk/corbyns-awkward-interview-with-lbc-reporter-listen/

He can fuck off with >muh narrative, he's completely autistic with the media even after all this time.

kek, fucking brilliant.

...

He's right, though - the media do have it in for him.

Anyone who does not follow the socially liberal (which he does) and economically corporatist (which he doesn't) line is set upon and ultimately silenced through repeated hounding, lest they begin to change the narrative amongst the supposed and self appointed 'centre, sensible ground'.

Anyone got a Pepe that's tipping his fedora?

good morning cunts

Why don't Americans like ramps?

he needs to keep leading the labour party so the conservatives can keep winning and keep sorting the country out. if labour get in again they will knock us back 10 years again

>i'm scared lads

You should be.

When you die, dont imagine there will be some beatific presence guiding you towards the light or anything like that.

No- when someone is dying, they know it, they panic, and The Fear kicks in big time.

The fear you imagine you feel now is but a pale foreshadow of the Great Panic that will overcome you on your death bed, brother.

ABOARD THE HMS ILLUSTRIOUS
What's the definition of heaven if you're a Marine Harrier pilot? Why, spending two weeks on one of Britain's aircraft carriers, of course.

What's not to like? The flying's awesome, the food and quarters are great, and you can get a drink at the end of the day, said Maj. Stephan Poppy Bradicich, the executive officer of Marine Attack Squadron 542 who helped plan the unprecedented embarkation of 16 Harriers and 200 Marines aboard HMS Illustrious, known as 'Lusty' to its crew.

The largest-ever embark of Marine personnel and aircraft aboard a foreign warship July 15-31 was part of Joint Task Force Exercise Operation Bold Step 07-02 that included the Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower strike groups, to prepare Truman for its upcoming deployment.

The accommodations and food drew high marks from the Marines. They enjoyed everything from curry night to such traditional Royal Navy dishes as hammy eggy cheesy, toast layered with shredded ham, an egg and covered with melted cheese and kippered herrings along with eggs, bacon and beans for breakfast, or haggis and bashed neeps (mashed turnips) for dinner. The ship even features "Chips at Six", fresh french fries served in the bar before dinner.

Other pluses? A roomy, teak quarterdeck aft to take a quiet break or take in a sunset, beautifully varnished wooden ladders and generous carpeting (which are stripped when the ship goes into battle) and Internet connectivity that works every time.
But one of the most satisfying things is that the ship is a strike carrier where Harriers, not helicopters, are the priority.
This is the Royal Navy's A team, and they live and breathe strike, said Col. Eric 'Beans' Van Camp, the commanding officer of Marine Aircraft Group 14, who also commanded the U.S. air group aboard Illustrious. On a gator, the Harriers are secondary to the amphibious and helicopter mission.

>Jeremy Corbyn ended a frosty interview with LBC and insisted we stopped recording after objecting to a question about his future.

kek he sounds like a tired old granddad thats just walked back from the shops

Uh.. Is this bait?

The Tories are trash and continue to ruin this county in much the same way Blair did.

Then there is the piece de resistance, the 20-foot-long blond oak bar that is the centrepiece of a spacious lounge, part of the wardroom annex where off-duty officers can draw a pint, dram, cocktail, coffee or tea and reflect on the day and prepare for tomorrow.
Everyone's working really hard, but it's also OK to relax afterward with a beer, within the rules we live by, Van Camp said. The challenge is maintaining that balance between mission and safety.
If you're flying the next day, you're not drinking, nor are you staying up late, Bradicich said as he sipped a soft drink.

Its a great tool that we don't have, Bradicich said. On our ships, there's no place where you can really unwind, get to know your shipmates on a personal level, and solve disagreements. Our view is that if you have free time, you should be doing something other than hanging around. Here, everyone works just as hard, but they also know how to unwind. It's a huge philosophical difference.

That philosophical difference manifests in the relaxed atmosphere aboard the ship, including the relationship between officers and ratings, British for enlisted personnel.
Case in point? Expect a cheery 'good morning' as you make your way down the passage or an offer for help if you look lost. And in a welcome relief for the American contingent, the 1MC system doesn't crackle with announcements 24 hours a day, and the officers don't carry radios to contact one another or the captain.
When you have a third of the ship asleep at any given time, it doesn't make much sense to be waking them by blaring unnecessary announcements every few minutes, one British officer said.


In fact, the only announcement is from the operations centre that details the day's plan and tests important alarms. The only other time you hear the loudspeaker is when there's a problem, such as a fire or engineering casualty.

Good evening cunt.

>The media, being the Blairite coalition it is, is almost entirely unified against him

True enough but Corbyn's politics may actually be more dangerous than Blairite trollop if it was actually allowed to flourish.

Davros is this close to snapping lads.

Post something that'll blood his lid off and exterminate Ronson.

Don't go towards the light lad. The jews get to keep your soul if you go towards the light

>Dex vs Str

And why don't the officers carry radios like their American counterparts? What the bloody hell do you need a radio for? the British officer asked. You know the plan, what the captain's intentions and expectations are. As an officer, your job is to lead, and if you need to talk to the captain all the time, then you're not doing your job or letting him do his.

Another philosophical difference is that the British are open to ideas that to Americans seem goofy, but work, such as the 12-degree ramp at the bow of the ship that dramatically improves Harrier operations. Senior U.S. naval officers over the decades have vetoed the idea, saying they don't like how it looks and that it takes up three helicopter landing spots. British and Marine officers say only one deck spot is lost to the 'ski jump.

To a man, Marine pilots want the ramps installed on their ships to improve operational flexibility and safety.

We're all in love with the ski ramp because when you come off that ramp, you're flying, Bradicich said. From our ships, if you're fully loaded, you need 750 feet, and even then you've got some sink once you clear the deck. Here, you can do the same thing in 450 feet and you're climbing.

But the ramp is intimidating at first sight, pilots said.

I expected it to be violent, but when you take off, it's almost a non-event, said Maj. Grant 'Postal' Pennington, a pilot with VMA-513 at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Ariz. Up you go, and you're climbing. It's a great experience.

Equally important is the ship that's bolted to the ramp, pilots said.

Some of our guys who haven't flown from our ships yet are in for a big surprise when they do. This is probably the best ship you could possibly fly a Harrier from. Its not very big, but it's really stable, no roll, just a little pitch, not like the flat-bottom gators that roll so much. Youve got the island moving 30 feet in each direction when you're trying to land. That tends to get your attention.

You have decided to believe in a fictional being as you fear death. Have you read 'the god delusion'?

Science has not yet explained consciousness, but it will in due course just like the many other things it has.

How many Syrian refugees have you taken in?

>This sinks the Spaniard

Quite a few 44 year old child refugees.

Yes. We went with non-nuclear carriers which means we use a ramp til EMALS is ready

>make a bunch of shitty jokes about how brexit voters are all stupid old racists
>wonder why everywhere that voted leave thinks you're a cunt
i'm shocked

I'd rather a socialist was in charge than a Blairite.

Granted, Corbyn's talk of unlimited migration is pretty worrying, but I don't think he believes it. He relies on the labour membership of ankle socked University students to stay afloat.

Black chuckle brothers when?

The combination of ski ramp, stability and dedicated crew contributed to a breakneck operational pace. The Marines proudly logged a ship record 79 takeoffs and landings in one day.

These guys are great. We've qualed 28 guys in three days, most with eight landings and takeoffs, so even though we said that we were going to crawl, walk, run, our pace has been tremendous, even with different procedures, Pennington said. We like to approach the ship at 45 degrees and hit one of the spots, but they approach from dead astern, come to a hover abeam, slide over, then drop down to the deck. It's different, but you get the hang of it.

The only downside? The thought that we're going to have to get off, Bradicich said.

>Big Black Cock media

>The Tories are trash and continue to ruin this county

things have to get worse before they get better.

the NHS needs serious reform so they spend money more efficiently which then frees up more money for policing, schooling etc

but everytime there is a labour govt they just screech for moar money to the NHS and other services without suggesting where this money should come from other than the publics pocket and then when they have no money left they just borrow it rather than trying to save it

They got cucked by the Royal Navy.

>I'd rather a socialist was in charge than a Blairite.

Me too, purely because Blairites actually have a chance of grasping power.

Cute bote.
