I met a man from St Ives once. Think he was having some marriage troubles.

The US will be using then to protect their Cock in Chief when he is in the UK next week, could be advanced party.  Apparently they are going to park one of their muckle big aircraft carriers on the south coast somewhere.

SAS have a couple of them. Allegedly. Those are likely to be US Marines based over here, I see them occasionally around North Wilts and it’s environment, there’s been a huge amount of activity around Westbury where I work, big army trucks, A400 transport planes, big helicopters, last week eight AH-64 gunships went over, and there’s been some fast jet activity as well, I only saw one, but it was either an F-15 Eagle, or one of the Russian lookalikes, a Sukhoi or Mig, possibly the Ukrainians practicing to take back the Crimea...
