Nothing they talk about more in "left behind communities" than reinstalling the Shah.

the reverse version of those “evolution of man” drawings

You do sometimes really get it driven home that American Christianity was founded by the protestants so weird Britain had no choice but to persecute them.

Yeah, but you gave your Nobel prize to a moronic, warmongering, fascist paedophile in return for a shot at running an undemocratic oil cartel, so my sympathy is kinda limited.

This conflict looks likely to permanently devalue the US at least in Asian eyes, and I suspect also brings into question the future of Israel as I suspect that country could soon be blamed entirely by the US right for bringing war across the Middle East and inflation to the US. Ugly picture.

A water desalination plant is presumptively a civilian object & it is an object indispensable to survival.

Targeting a civilian object is a war crime.

Targeting an object indispensable to survival can implicate the starvation war crime.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Hey, remember how I said that my third friend in the oil industry didn’t respond? Yeah they got back to me.

It’s not looking good, team

The president wore a red tie and a baseball cap to a ceremony in honor of fallen soldiers.

So much for that special relationship..

Opera is not dying, Timothée, it's thriving. In Europe alone, 14m a year attend (2.5m under 25s) worth €10bn. Since 2000 La Traviata had 30,000 performances. In its lifetime it's been seen by half a billion people and recorded 291 times. Check back in 180yrs to see how Marty Supreme is doing, yeah?

New report calls for return of human remains – but UK museums lack the resources to act Even with the best of intentions, restitution is not a fast process.

Wrote this on human remains in British museums this time last year and stand by it: it’s a slow process that many collections have been trying to deal with for a while and—above all else—one that needs time and resourcing: theconversation.com/new-report-c...

This oaf is fast becoming a serious challenger to Daniel Hannan for the ‘Wrongest Man In The World’ title.

Have I gone mad or is he threatening widening the scope of his bombing for political punishment?

An amazing game. I fully expected France to walk it.

I did a thing at a school recently to encourage 13/14-yr-olds to study languages. If they ask me back I'll just show the kids this.

Spain rocks!

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.

USA use AI to attack Iran, so Iran attack the AI data centers.

Daily Express A bitter blow to Keir Starmer 'Trump's just chosen Britain's next Prime Minister - Keir Starmer is finished'

The Don seems to be developing a taste for deciding who should lead other countries. Good to see the Express displaying its patriotism.

"You recognise.. if a school was targeted that would constitute a breach of intl law?"

David Lammy: "This is a febrile war zone"

"That doesn't excuse hitting schools.."

"... its for the Americans to comment on what's happened there"

So you've never commented on Russian war crimes, right?

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”

well i hope they say thank you

Investors are not ready for a true shock [FREE TO READ] The consensus view of the impact of the Iran war on equities and bonds may well prove too sanguine

That Trump repeats calls for Iran's unconditional surrender on same day he's got the defence industrial chiefs round for an emergency meeting on military supplies perfectly sums up his grasp of ends & means.

this is explicitly genocidal

"For you, ze acquisition process is over"

I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.

There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.

I am fascinated by the *furious* reaction to FT writing – amid dozens of pieces about the war – an article highlighting Dubai residents scrambling to get back to UAE. To avoid big tax bill.
