I see the British army could be going into the grain haulage business.

[PostHarvest]

I agree 100% with Fish. The army has a large fleet of trucks, but many of them are multilift swap body types. Ideal for delivering pallets of ammunition or other stores as they can back up drop the body and scoot off. They also have heavy transporters, great for moving tanks but not for bulk grain. They hire in huge numbers of trucks from contractors as and when needed, but they come with their own drivers. Boris is just playing to the uninformed.

What are they gonna do ?
Carry the grain out in their pockets, the British army, as far as I’m aware, don’t run a fleet of tippers.
Brainless twit.

The Express headline is a load of rubbish. As I understand it, it's about de-mining the waters around the ports and helping to provide safe passage. And even then, only if an agreement can be reached through the UN.

Nobody's going to be bringing it out in lorries on any scale.

Offer warships, mine clearing equipment to escort ships in and out of dangerous ports perhaps?

Was watching Sky news this morning and a Russian cargo ship, keeps shutting off its tracker in the black sea. Going into a port and loading wheat according to Google earth. Switching tracker on again when back in Black Sea. Then unloading wheat at a Turkish port.

Shush... you're not supposed to spoil their frothing at the mouth!

With transportation companies struggling with diesel price hikes,
I’m sure they would volunteer trucks to go and fetch some grain,
Don’t forget this would be at name your price rates. !!

"Southern Ukrainian city of Melitopol".

Reports say that the Russians have nationalised and removed all the old crop wheat in store in Melitopol.

I suppose one media outlet's wartime looting is another persons war booty....

Aren't the Russians running it into Russia and selling it to Syria?

Why is Zelensky addressing people at Glastonbury.

Maybe it's just me, but everything seems to be becoming a media circus nowadays.

Because its the home of freedom of speech and it started as a anti nuclear protest festival back in the day, so i heard. Definately isnt the home of music, never heard such tripe in all my life, cannot even understand the words. Even the old bands are rubbish now, most of the old lead singers have lost the power in their singing voices and have lost the ability to prance about without looking frail.

The boat they have shown docked at Iskenderun in Turkey. Suspected grain exports have previously gone to Latakia in Syria.
