They are being given such an easy ride by the media it’s ridiculous (only it is completely predictable).

By March/april time even in the UK pretty much all the miles I drive are solar powered and free.

You have to have some serious character flaws to be a billionaire.

I don’t think Starmer has been humiliated at all in the eyes of most Brits with regard to Iran and Trump.

Am I too optimistic to think that Blair wading in to this is a clever ploy to really kill the support of people of the the loony right that think this is a great idea?

The utter cheek of Trump to the UK during this shitshow is something to behold. I hope we just defend ourselves and our real allies and stay well out of it. Trump telling us that this will be remembered is only the half of it. We actually do have a memory, unlike Trump the goldfish.

I’m British. The US is not a reliable ally in any way any more. The best result of this for the whole world would actually be regime change in the US.

Screw allies picking up the pieces. You broke it, you fix it America. TBH Israel, and probably the US, want a broken Iran for generations. Obscene.

Probably shorted on oil.

Also a rich man with global connections and a proven liar is not a flight risk in any way.

I don’t understand. This is on the sport pages. Should they also only talk about Iran? Or Ukraine? Or any other war that’s going on right now?

We aren’t sending 2 you dipshit. We might send one. Fact free as always. And I hope it’s just to protect our people, bases and our actual allies and not the bloody US.

Yanks out

More than one thing can happen at the same time.

Totally. How can anyone plan anything with that lunatic in the White House? Perhaps the best we can do is keep things at high readiness in home ports.

Yes half way through as I said.

Also the Type 45s are brilliant when available but they have been beset by propulsion problems and are still only half way through a programme to rectify the issues.

Our military is in the state it is in because of 14 years of neglect by the Tories. Labour should have done more as soon as they got in power, but it takes years to turn around a navy. I think it is legitimate to ask why a bit more planning wasn’t made to forward deploy a Type 45 though.

Not that I don’t doubt this is an utter disaster, but I don’t see a route to WW3. Does anyone think Russia or China will get involved?

Woke wars where actual troops were on the ground getting shot at. It’s just a video game to these freaks. I’m glad the UK wasn’t involved at the start of this shit show, and apart from defending ourselves and allies (not including the US) I hope we stay out.

It’s very unimportant in the grand scheme of things but how stupid does FIFA look right now. They look like prize sycophantic idiots.

What is Gillian Keegan’s point? That with an ally you have to follow them into any war they choose even if the reasons are all over the shop and the legality is doubtful (to put it mildly). I’m 100% behind that initial decision to not get involved.

Starmer for all his faults has shown that in this case.

I’m been in software development for decades but would never have gone into games due to all the horror stories I hear about the crunch etc. and I’ve worked for banks

Can Labour please go on the offensive a bit more with the complete 180 Badenoch has done about being pro a badly planned, no exit strategy illegal war in Iran. When before everyone on the right was saying Trump was mr Peace. I have noticed a slight change in tone from some Tories but not her.

Weird country the US

I think we need consistency across the board for an age of majority. It’s very confused right now. Sad that it always becomes who will boost my votes when push comes to shove.

Bye bye Brewdog. You were ok for a few years, turned to utter shite.

Well I suppose the main argument changes by the day. Willing to flip 180 degrees on any position on a dime, depending on what the great orange man of peace says.

Feeding the crocodile. They will be eaten eventually. Fools
