In which case it needs to be restrained and jailed for the mass murder of Iranian schoolgirls, no?

Malcolm Offord backtracks on 'sectarian schooling' in Scotland claim REFORM’S Scotland leader has backtracked on a call to end denominational schooling in Scotland after he said there should be no “sectarianism”.

So you’re tellme reform hates catholics too?

Shocking…

That’s ‘Them’ in the Twilight: elvish & faery origins A 1907 etching of the ‘shagfoal’ I have just finished reading one of the books I received at Christmas, Francis Young’s Twilight of the Godlings- The Shadowy Beginnings of Britain…

A new review of my book 'Twilight of the Godlings' from John Kruse on his British Fairies website britishfairies.wordpress.com/2026/03/06/t...

"Labour came into government to do breakfast clubs, not to invade Iran. I came into office to invade Iran."

He just plays the Defence Secretary on tv. I don't think they invite him to any meetings where decisions are taken.

My thought today from the eighteenth century editing mines is that we should still spell rabbit "rabbet", it fits better

So, Trump stealing Venezuela's oil last month wasn't related, right?

He may not have a war plan, but he does have a grift plan.

Between all the “cat ladies” and “angry Muslims” in Gorton and Denton you have to wonder why Goodwin ever wanted to represent this group of voters?

It's going to be crazy if Trump backs down on exploding the global economy (tariffs) only to follow through on exploding the global economy (hydrocarbon shock).

A bunch of celebrities have been declaring that they dislike cats because they’re “mean” animals

This is like when people complain that they don’t like turkey because it’s dry: they’re telling on their own incompetence.

Ham-fisted dopes don’t know how to approach cats. Not the cat’s problem

Bring back letters of marque.

Letters of marque are awesome!

If I were doing Tory Comms, I would kidnap Badenoch and lock her away until the Iran attacks are over.

10–97% in nine minutes: BYD presents second generation of Blade Battery - electrive.com The Chinese car and battery manufacturer BYD has unveiled the second generation of its Blade Battery in China, apparently designed for very high charging

Gas prices are skyrocketing. Meanwhile in China:

"There are, increasingly, only two teams—a progressive liberal one, and a far-right one, with little in between"

Er, which side are eg Starmer, Macron and Carney on? Because they're very, very, very keen to make clear that they're not progressives. If they're the left, then there's no actual left.

It would be hard for the paper to be weirder than it is now.

Since there seems to be an oil shortage brewing perhaps we should jusr start helping ourselves to sanctioned Russian crude? Without payment, of course.

Qatar warns war will force Gulf to stop energy exports ‘within days’ Gas producer says it will take ‘weeks to months’ to restore deliveries after Iranian drone strike

⚠️ Qatar’s energy minister has warned that war in the Middle East could “bring down the economies of the world,” predicting that all Gulf energy exporters would shut down production within weeks and drive oil to $150 a barrel.

We seem to have settled on a figure for the direct cost to the US of the Iran War - one billion dollars a day. I haven’t seen the calculations and I’m always wary of round numbers but it’s something we can work with.

That figure doesn’t include:

1/2

I don't know why everyone is carping, I think this is an absolutely marvellous idea. They should super go to Dubai armed with *checks notes* a revolver and a shotgun in order to face down the threat of warplanes and drones. I think it would also be great to livestream their experiences.

Andrew Tate: I fly to Saudi tonight. Will cross the desert to get into Dubai with War Room soldiers. While the rest of the world runs away like cowards we show respect to the greatest city on earth. Dubai. We’re coming. He also added a very strange ai generated image of himself and his equally silly brother, both dressed like a cross between Laurence of Arabia and the hero in a dystopian war movie. Their expressions are painfully serious, suggesting long term constipation. They hold guns of various lengths, cosplaying soldiery. The image is in shades of rust and orange

Who needs video games and television when you have the self perception and imagination of the Tater brothers

Orwell was a bit of a prick actually. And a colonising flunky in Burma. His novel 'Burmese Days' is not a pleasant read.

US is moving to surge firepower over Iran, per officials at CENTCOM HQ. Bomber strikes are being stepped up and additional fighter squadrons are being deployed.

UK decision to allow US to use its bases at Diego Garcia (Indian Ocean) and RAF Fairford, UK, will facilitate the increased strikes.

if you were to write a prophecy of the future back in 2000 that "in 2026, President Donald John Trump has launched a war on Iran with Israel after previously attempting a coup to stay in power in 2020", people would think you've gone insane

Iran considers firms that buy US government debt and invest in Treasury bonds as partners in the war against it because they are seen as financing the conflict, an Iranian official told CNN on Friday. Tehran “considers these companies and their managers in the region to be among its legitimate targets,” the official said. “These individuals are being warned to declare divestment in this area as soon as possible.”

What did Tehran mean by this?

There are many reasons the Met are known as the Filth. This is just one of them.
