    However, when it comes to covid-vaccination the uk is instead using the total. as the EU and the uk are now about about even in terms of vaccinations per capita during the last week. (Strange how stopping the AZ vaccine exports to the uk that weren't planned at all and couldn't be stopped due to a superior iron-clad contract according to uk officials, increased the vaccination rate in the EU and decreased it in the uk.)
    And clearly not comparing with individual countries, since the country in Europe that has the highest total percentage of covid-vaccinations is now a small Island nation with English as official language and is part of the EU (and world-wide third behind Israel and UAE).
    Ah okay, must've either misread or misunderstood what you wrote then, my bad.

    I mean, I get it... you're busy shitposting on 4chan, but while it's funny spending a minute or two to debunk your shit, sometimes I just stumble across the debunk by fucking accident... that's how dumb the shit you typically post is.

    Actually that part of the debunk doesn't make sense. Bullets fall to the ground so you have to aim higher than the target - especially if you want the longest possible range.

    Whether the bullets would actually hit the targets and be effective at that range is a different matter.

    A more relevant statement is that having this spat on the day of the election was perfect timing for BoJo.

    If you have to aim that much up, you're not able to properly aim, and even if you were, wind drift would be practically impossible to predict, so you'd never hit anything

    Some are saying here in the UK, that lone minuteman should be up for the Victoria Cross for repelling the French invasion with his 17th century musket. Some eurochums moaning about peak Brexit in response however are not amused... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBWN_54BICQ

    No one here is surprised there are others on your.... intellectual level as you soar at a height close to that of freshly mowed blades of grass.

    Now on to the many businesses you helped ruin because you don't understand how borders and international trade work. Like this one

    Sure would be nice if those eurochums who all voted for Brexit would stop moaning about how Brexit is now ruining their livelihoods.

    Muskets aren't artillery, but leaving all that aside, don't overthink it. Neither did I. It's good enough to debunk Dribs and that's good enough for me. Those Muskets had the range of modern pistols, so if you can't see water on this image, they must be flying navy or landbased ships. Either way, his shitpost should have been moderated, but as usual that's not happening...

    Zero sympathy for her, though. She wanted this, she got exactly what she voted for. Bit late for regrets, she made her bed, now she gets to lie in it. She thought she'd make a better future? Nah man, she didn't think. And that was only the first mistake of hers...

    Oh she got exactly what she deserved and it's nice to see people suffering the consequences of their own poor choices. But she serves the purpose in that it's another example of Brexit's abject failure that Dribbles will dance around. And in that we can all rejoice.

    And it's a randomly moving target; so one wouldn't expect good accuracy anyway.

    Allegedly muskets can fire slightly more than 1 km; I don't know if that includes the particular weapon.

    However, the basic idea was to project patriotism to win votes, as the last refuge of BoJo. Never under-estimate the gullibility of the voters.

    Don't let the 4chan kiddos rile you up. It's not worth the infraction. This dude doesn't care about the suffering of British people. He just wants to goad you into an infraction. He should be moderated, but alas... moderation on this forum is being its usual self.

    Two funny pictures illustrating the disconnect the UK has from the rest of the world:





    Typical British press... Meanwhile, nobody else cares about what fantasy they tell their people.

    Hmm... I realized something.

    It seems that the French launched this protest last week, just as the uk was going to the polls. Many claim that it was ideal timing for BoJo - but that coincidence seems too much. Not entirely a false flag operation; but still a stench of something fishy going on.

    Well, they are fishermen, what do you expect? :P

    Could very well be, it is a successful tactic to use. Creating an enemy is a great way to get people to vote a certain way. Considering large part of the UK public has been conditioned for years through the media with these fear of other tactics. Not sure how much people in London would care though, i would have figured the tory response to and being the cause of that big block fire would still be fresher on people minds there.

    Also i do like the response from France, they simply threatened to shut their power off and block their docks. Something that realistically could do, all that for just some fishing grounds.

    Really you support the illegal French response? Let's role reverse for 1 second. What would you say if the British government were threatening to turn the lights out in Germany and blockaded Hamburg?

    Would that be acceptable?
