"Churchill and his counterparts in the US launched a coup against the democratically elected prime minister of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddegh, in 1953 because he was nationalising the oil industry." Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social. www.thenational.scot/news/2591499...

Very disappointing to see @news.rte.ie new Washington Correspondent Jackie Fox referring to what’s going on in Iran as an “operation”, no less than three times in as many sentences on @rteone.rte.ie 9 o’clock news tonight. Surely the right word is “attack”, rather than using Putin-like language.
Interesting piece here from @mickbyrne.bsky.social on rent deregulation.

"If we didn't hit within 2 weeks they would have had a nuclear weapon"
He's lying, of course.
"When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen"
This bit is true though. We're seeing it now.
The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.
