Did F47 wear a cap for the same reason he wore a bright blue suit to Pope Francis’s funeral???
That happened to coincide with news breaking Virginia Giuffre had died.

I think it was a piffling irrelevance called Johnson who started that.

By 1917 my grandad had been a wounded PoW for 3 years. By 1942 his son had been on Atlantic convoys in destroyers for 3 years. His daughter had lost her hearing serving as an AA gunlayer in the London Blitz. Don’t lecture us about late arrival.

As our Government announces that the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales is being readied for deployment to the Middle East to protect British interests , Chump chimes in. Saying we are not needed, looking like we are trying to tag along on an already-won war. He needs to check his history.

Proud to be British. We often get it wrong but try to put it right in general.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called β€œhype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

This is why we are in Iran. This is why he attacked Venezuela. This is why he is threatening Cuba.

All of his foolishness is a distraction. Release the Epstein Files!

Folks, from 3000 miles away across the Atlantic, this sounds like the ravings of a small-town drunk. A small man, serving a homunculus posing as President, who said our PM is no Churchill. The homunculus is no FDR.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Exactly. They finished off 7 legions by luring them further and further into Persia. Cutting supply lines, leading them away from water. Then facing a much weakened enemy they turned and slaughtered the remains. Crassus got special treatment, fed liquid gold down his gizzard. He was a known miser.

Isabel Oakeshott: Economic Migrant, Tax Exile, Future Evacuee? The commentators who fled Britain for lower taxes have built careers sneering at the country they left - yet still rely on it when the world turns dangerous.

For those who don’t know. Isabel is the girlfriend of Reforms Richard Tice. An Islamophobe who bangs on about no go London, Sharia law, invasions etc

She moved to Dubai with her kids because she didn’t like paying tax & contributing to her country now it’s being bombed

This goes way back in history to Roman times. They learned the hard way of FAFO in Judea and Persia. Especially Persia, losing SEVEN legions at Carrhae under Crassus. They never tried again.

Extraordinary crowds as a mass funeral procession begins in Minab, Iran for the 165 school girls & teachers killed in the US/Israeli school strike on Saturday.

Many outcomes of this war are uncertain. But a renewed generation of hatred towards the West is now baked in.

Murdering children and their teachers? This is a war crime.

It is an illegal incursion with regime change the goal & no imminent threat present.

Anyone says ai chose the target can fuck off. Regardless of the tools used, the onus is on humans to ensure civilian casualties are minimised.

Trump’s Case for War With Iran Faces Growing Scrutiny U.S. intelligence showed threats from Iran loomed, as they had for years. But they were not imminent.

"U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information ... say the administration’s assertions are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong."

Spot on assessment. It’s ingrained in them. A national characteristic.

What an idiot. He has obviously forgotten how he got his arse handed to him on a plate in Afghanistan. The Romans 2000 years ago sent an army under Crassus to β€˜conquer’ Persia. None made it back. The Iranians won’t stop now unless their armed forces are destroyed. Proper hornets’ nest.

He’ll get a fancy uniform as Colonel of the 1st Mar-a-Lago Offstage Support Regiment. In charge of diplomatic receptions and junketing. A serious and life-threatening posting, what with all the booze and caviar.
