[dinosaw]

Is it:

1) Billy Liar

2) Baron Munchhausan

3) Pinocchio

4) Boris Johnson

Erm. Tony Blair? Weapons of mass destruction. How many deaths?
Margaret Thatcher. General Belgians outside the exclusion zone. How many deaths?
Ang Sang Su Khi? Nobel peace prize. Rohinga genocide?
I can live with Boris!

You are going for quality over quantity I see, fair enough can't argue with that. To be fair to some of that lot though, they at least knew that it would take years for their porkies to be fully exposed, not three days. Who knows how many of Boris's more serious lies will be laid bare in the years to come.

As for the Belgrano, the Argentine Navy consider the sinking a legitimate act of war and subsequent releases of documents from them have shown that it was in fact sailing towards the Falklands with the aim of sinking our carriers.

Also:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2003/may/25/uk.world

"In 2003, the ship's captain Hector Bonzo confirmed that General Belgrano had actually been manoeuvering, not "sailing away" from the exclusion zone. Captain Bonzo stated that any suggestion that HMS Conqueror's actions were a "betrayal" was utterly wrong; rather, the submarine carried out its duties according to the accepted rules of war."

For me it doesn't matter which way it was sailing, it was an enemy warship and should have been sunk even if it was manoeuvring off Timbuktu.

The original post was meant lightheartedly btw.

Not really. Its from the tombs of Ur...

 

[dinosaw]

Does that mean it belongs to Ur indoors?

A friend of mine who lives in an old water mill on the river Test took this photo of her house today.

OMG!!, that is so terrible Marigold. A time of national emergency, yet you have people performing acts of wanton vandalism on the property of others. I do hope she has reported it to the police, it probably qualifies as a hate crime!!. :lol:
