This flag shall be a symbol of their doggedness, resilience, and determination to conquer the present evil with love, for perfect love casteth out all fears, even in these perilous times. And Ukrainians shall prevail as all will soon be over. Glory to Ukraine!

Junior Lucifer, Patriarch Kirill, the leader of Russia’s Political Church…in every respect, complicit in the ongoing barbarity and genocide in Ukraine, being carried out by vampiric Vladimir Putin and his very ferocious beasts/savage wolves. But what would Jesus do at a time like this?

Putin, the Anti-Christ. To hell with your oil, Vlad! Watch all the world turns to the P4:19 oil which never goes dry nor is subject to diminishing returns. It is common knowledge that hunters who have lost their C sense, do often shoot themselves in the foot!

 

The return of ‘Might is Right”, but is the world not yet tired of this Putintainment to respond in the language he understands? Asks JOHN ODEY ADUMA.

The future Royal Navy fleet today started to take shape as the construction of the first of five new frigates began.

In the brand-new assembly hall in Rosyth dockyard in Scotland, the keel of HMS Venturer was laid in a ceremony which blended cutting-edge shipbuilding with naval history.

The construction of the fleet will support around 2,500 jobs both at Babcock and nationally through the UK supply chain, as well as creating 150 additional apprenticeships.

The keel laying is the formal moment of construction beginning for the ship, following September’s steeling cutting for the Inspiration-class Type 31 frigate.

Over the coming months it will rise a 6,000-tonne ship and, alongside it from next year, the second ship in the class, HMS Active. The Venturer Hall is large enough to allow two frigates – each longer, wider and heavier than the Type 23 warships they replace – to be constructed side by side.
