US missile hit military base near Iran school, video analysis shows A US Tomahawk missile hit a military base near a primary school in southern Iran where Iranian authorities said 168 people were killed, expert video analysis shows.

"We think it was done by Iran because they're very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever"

They also don't have Tomahawk missiles.

There's a growing sense that neither Trump nor his acolytes have a clue about what they're doing or why.

War on a whim.

This is a terrible situation for these brave women to be in.

They face punishment if they return to Iran or their families will be targeted by the IRGC if they don't.

F1 dodges a bullet... or two Though it appeared safety concerns had been overstated, F1 rode its luck at Albert Park this weekend.

This is a pretty fair assessment, I thought.

A bit of a bitchy put-down from George about Lando's negativity...

"Yeah, well, he's always... I don't know. If he was winning, I don't think he'd be saying the same"

Ouch! 🀣

Note that their policy decisions are always dictated by their prominent cult members, usually during TV appearances, with no evidence of emanating from any democratically convened process or referral to their 'membership'.

The quickest way to end Farage's sham would be to democratise his cult.

"Stay at home"?

Weren't they meant to come out on to the streets and "rise up"?

Not really sure about it.

Feels a but artificial with the boost/re-charge thing.

It made for some overtaking and spectacle but is it 'racing'?

I'll give it a chance.

What did you think?

Reform UK under fire for sale of council's art works The sale of more than 360 art works shows 'utter contempt' for local history, it has been claimed

www.kentlive.news/news/kent-ne...

It's in Reform's DNA.

Whilst Farage would happily sell our NHS out, even at local level, they see cultural and community assets in a purely material way.

They're wreckers and vandals. Anything that isn't bolted down.

This is the message Nigel Farage should be taking to Donald Trump, but he won’t because he cares more about what Trump thinks, than the British people.

That's gotten Charles off the hook then?

We obviously can't send the King to be front and centre at the 250th anniversary events after we've been so appallingly and deliberately disrespected.

And this after he dismissed the sacrifice of British dead in Afghanistan.

I mean, we just can't.

Can we?
