And people seriously wanted our government to fall into line for this arsehole?

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

Britons don’t want any part of Trump’s war fixation – the sooner Labour realises that the better | Owen Jones Kowtowing to US foreign policy in Iraq and Afghanistan had disastrous consequences. Why are leaders making the same mistake again, asks Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Our elites brought us Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Gaza.

At what point do we ask if they are a death cult?

This is where our global utopia crashes into laser-guided reality Britons will all feel the impact of the war with Iran, not just those who have moved to Dubai expecting peace and security Charlotte Ivers Saturday March 07 2026, 11.00pm GMT, The Sunday Times ＜ Share n 2013, when I was at university, I used to Facebook-_ message friends who were lounging by private pools in Tehran and Tel Aviv while studying abroad. Back home it had become something of a status symbol to teach yourself Russian, largely because the nightlife in Moscow was so good: dark, sexy and glamorous. In the little English pubs we frequented, friends would airily report on what was happening on the Russian social media site VK, or China's WeChat. Life was good, goods were cheap and the world belonged to us. I feel rather uncomfortable thinking of it now. There's something a bit jazz age about the whole thing: gilded youth toasting their own cosmopolitanism and sophistication while the world trundled quietly towards chaos. There were signs, obviously. In 2014 Russia invaded the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine. But, still, the nightlife in Moscow was fantastic.

Whose global Utopia? The news that the party is over and things are going to get especially miserable is IMO going to come as a major surprise for millions of people who did not get invites to the festivities in the first place.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

"The whole planet poorer"...except for the oil producers, arms producers and the gamers playing stock exchanges...the rest of us can go f*ck ourselves.

9 MAR 2026 telegraph BREAKING NEWS Drive less to save fuel as oil prices surge, motorists told

Telegraph in even-a-broken-clock-right-twice-day moment:

Again: if you're British and support Trump, you're no patriot. You don't want your country back, you want to give it away.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

Transitioning to clean energy faster would protect the UK from world events that raise the oil price :-)

Happy Super Richie Wellens Day…✅

4 years to the day that Richie Wellens was appointed as #LOFC manager & although it’s undeniable we are going through a very tough time at the moment there can be no doubt the impact that he has had at our club. 👏

Up The O’s!❤️

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

I'm out of words here

I need to be pedantic here. Hearn's first full season was the (still horrific) 95-96. 94-95 wasn't really under him. He arrived at the same time of the season as Gandler did, so by your metric Gandler's first season was 24-25

This is what ecocide looks like.

In over 30 years of new #LOFC owners, relegation in their 1st season is more common than not:
1994-95: Barry Hearn
2014-15: F******** B********
2025-26: David Gandler

The only exception is Travis / Teague in 2017-18 - but we finished in our lowest position in the club's professional history.

My man, it is not my responsibility to explain to you why your spellchecker doesn’t have feelings.

The last time Port Vale made the quarter-finals their opponents in the last eight were #lofc - we bottled it of course

oh and ofc I forgot to mention the presence of R2D2 and C3PO, who are there as characters children would like because it's a children's movie for children

Reminder that Tehran has a population greater than London, this is not a trivial amount of people we’re talking about here.

The Gulf states & Israel depend on water desalination to live. If Israel & US break the taboo of bombing vulnerable desal infrastructure, they risk catastrophic harm.

Percent of drinking water from desal:
Israel: 80%
Kuwait: 90%
Saudi Arabia: 70%
Oman: 86%
UAW: 42%

It's simple really, it's because he faced no real accountability for his actions.

Another moment to consider the differences post career interventions from Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. One of them only speaks when he has a vital contribution to make and otherwise shuts up; the other one can’t shut up.

This #InternationalWomensDay, I’m thinking about all the women who are living through war and occupation, being denied education, punished simply for expressing who they are, and trapped in exploitation and servitude. [1/2]

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer -- But we will remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP

History lesson.

Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917.

Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.
