I had aspirations to be a writer but the health plan was no good, so I became a rocket scientist instead.

@TheGriftReport Couple of things to unpack.
A farmer doesn't have a tanker full of slurry lying around, apart from the fact it then means that can't be used, they're also subject to regulations and have a host of civil servants eager to find and penalise infractions. /1 of 4
@TheGriftReport Slurry is regularly spread on grassland, its an effective natural fertiliser promoting growth of fodder for farm animals. So putting the two together he'd likely gone there with the aim of muck spreading in the first place. /2 of 4

@kennardmatt Well it took a bit of digging and it turns out this is an example of a lie getting around the world before the truth gets its pants on. /1
@kennardmatt An FR24 subscription allows you to you can look up the tracks for that aircraft and it was tracked all the way up and down each time.

@rogerlorton @moor_facts To correct that slightly, China used the non-aligned movement to win a majority vote in the UNGA compelling the ICJ to give an advisory ruling, despite the convention in the UNGA that it doesn't intervene in bilateral disputes.
@rogerlorton @moor_facts It did so tactically at a time when the ICJ didn't have a British judge and they had installed a puppet who has been awarded China's highest honour for defending the regime.

@FacundoDRod 2. Moving to the second paragraph. It is important to note that the UN General Assembly is forbidden by its constitution from creating or ruling on matters of International Law. On matters relating to International Law it must defer to the International Court of Justice.
@FacundoDRod One might expect that someone claiming to be a professor of international law might be aware of this very basic principle.
Instead he attempts to pervert UNGA resolutions as rulings on intl law denying a fundamental right guaranteed by Article 73 of the UN Charter.

@FacundoDRod You are, as always wrong, you really should stop quoting from your crappy book.
1.a. There is no evidence of a Spanish discovery in 1520. Various theories have been put forward to justify this claim but all crumble when examined critically.
@FacundoDRod 1.b. Spain tried to expel the British and failed, resulting in a humiliating climb down and the British return.
1.c. The British didn't abandon the Falklands, your own records demonstrate this, so you are peddling a lie.
