The dribbling ravings of a clueless dimwit.

British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales prepped to set sail The move may raise speculation HMS Prince of Wales could be sent to defend British interests during the Middle East conflict.

UK couldn't sail its aircraft carrier Prince of Wales to assist against the Houthis last time, due to vulnerability to drone and missile attack. Let's hope they've ironed out those problems. It cost the taxpayer many billions and was pretty useless in modern warfare.

Look at Graham's corporate donor list, it's basically an A-Z of oil corporations. Who benefits most from a big and sustained spike in oil prices?

Waging a separate foreign policy is quite a temptation when your own national leader is weak, feckless and dim. Day #7 of the Bibi re-election campaign. So far all it's costing us is another round of massive global inflation and a slowdown. Worth every penny to the people in US Big Oil.

Talking about himself again.

‘It means missile defence on data centres’: drone strikes raises doubts over Gulf as AI superpower Iran’s targeting of commercial datacentres in the UAE and Bahrain signals a new frontier in asymmetric warfare

Amazon will now commence its own military buildup, the 'Bezos Front' will emerge. Meanwhile, more datacentres to be built in the UK, which means increasing shortages of water, power cuts, higher prices for electricity and gas.

It's almost as if Trump's lot arranged this to relieve Putin of oil sanctions.

Yes, he was a British empire guy with all the contempt for people with darker skins that implied. He was a man of his time and class and invoking him for causes now is often dubious.

Never missing an opportunity to smear Labour. Routinely making stuff up. Siding with people that hate Britain and everything it stands for if it means a chance to attack progressives. More fond of foreign dictators than they are of our democracy. Constantly shilling for billionaires and oligarchs.

It's gobsmacking that Russia is directly aiding Iran in destroying US military facilities during a shooting war with them and the US 'leadership' doesn't bat an eyelid or apparently care. Putin has a free hand, more than many of us realised. Trump is passive, weak, moronic and unable to grasp.

He also had a feeling that oil trading sanctions on Russia needed to end and oil prices had to surge. This feeling was coincidentally shared by his pals and huge donors from the US oil sector.

Our patriots!

A rerun of GW Bush on that carrier when he declared victory in Iraq. Fighting there continued for years afterwards. This will be the same.

They don't do anything, even the supposed fine rarely gets issued, or chased when it is.

It requires company directors to prove their ID now. Maybe this is difficult for them for some reason.

They need a good company secretary. Peter Mandelson is available.

In fact this is Russia actively pursuing war against the US by giving Iran targeting information. Trump and Hegseth seem oblivious, unconcerned. Almost as if they are cool with Putin doing whatever, not their business, acceptable losses, business as usual.

Look up 'irony'.

It's been pretty frustrating listening to large parts of the right wing media fawning over the Pahlevis during the last months. In power they were desperately greedy, cruel and sinister. Their extravagant parties attracted the same sort of right wing fawning hacks now calling for their return.

A sad day. May she rest in peace in the coffin until nightfall.

I'd send a letter of complaint, but I can't afford it.

Perhaps a teeny tiny axe can be found.

Lucky Hungarians. Feel sorry for progressive minded people there.

This is not someone capable of empathy. He's an old school aristocrat raised since birth to regard the common folk as expendable tools, to work or to be killed, as required.

All too true, on all points. There will also of course be a wave of terrorist attacks in the West, London is sure to be a target. Not exactly new, as the security services have foiled a number of planned ones in recent years, but presumably intensifying.

He can choose from a lengthy and indulgent menu of Saudi prison treats whilst he's their guest - they offer water sports (well, if water boarding is a sport), electric stun batons and regular beatings from the guards, followed by public flogging and, if he's as annoying as he usually is, beheading.

Yes, they aren't the only MSM covering the GCHQ pr releases pretty much verbatim. However, it's unlikely they made up what the pilot said, so if anyone's lying about it in this case, it's the RAF.

That's true, what pisses me off even more is that the British government repeatedly lied to us about it not happening.
