An image of the Milky Way galaxy, with an arrow pointing to the unfashionable western spiral arm and a sign saying "you are here, paying taxes to pedophiles."

Fortunately I have not lost my sense of perspective.

Whoops! Sorry buddy, looks like you’re in for the long haul. Sorry about the Gulf real estate deals and data centres or whatever. Maybe you can ask ‘Bibi’ to cover some of the losses next time he drops you his laundry? Thanks for playing though, you huge jackass.

It's very clear that Starmer has indeed played a blinder by not involving the UK is this *very over* illegal war which is *pretty much complete* and panicked global markets making everything more expensive, destabilised the Middle East yet further and murdered a school full of girls. Using UK bases.

He’s just saying fucking whatever to try and calm the markets and allow him to point to any single fleck of shit that flew out of his mouth later, no matter what happens, and say, “See, just like I said.”

If true that Trump is signalling an end in sight, then what we've learned from this fiasco is that the Iranian regime does not collapse even under intense pressure & the rest of the world can't endure closure of the straits of Hormuz for very long at all www.wsj.com/livecoverage... 110 105 100 95 Brent crude 90 Crude oil 85 80 75 Oil Prices Tumble After Trump Says Iran War 'Very Complete' Oil futures, which surged as much as 31% Sunday night to more than $100 a barrel, hav... • www.wsj.com 3 10 10 40 贝 ...

Meanwhile the Iranians would have learned that when Trump says help is coming to rise up against the regime, it really isn't.

I imagine the urgent lesson it’s taught the Iranian leadership is: get nuclear warheads ASAP, or die. Which is incredible, slapstick stuff, when you consider the situation when Trump took over.

So the war is not complete then, as he said two hours ago?

The continued habit of media to repeat what he says without qualification is mind blowing.

there is no such thing as "too much garlic"

Every time I read what a UK minister says about the EU it almost feels like they're assuming we have the same power as members. We're not negotiating, we're making representations. Only EU institutions are negotiating their rules.

This is something that surprised Mrs R: most of her fellow students would go on skiing holidays every year, and general chitchat included topics like “what’s your favourite bar in Paris”. Despite being 21, and students. I don’t grudge this, fair enough. I’m just saying: most people don’t get that.

Surely someone might read this aloud before publication and ask if the line "we all have our favourite ultralazer space drugs and magic neon pony orbiting brothels" is really in touch with the readership.

We all believed Iraq had those weapons. We all spent too much before the 08 crash. We all backed austerity, we all just wanted to Get Brexit Done. We all value our alliance with America, we all stood shoulder to shoulder with the IDF.

We’re going to get a lot of The Dog Ate Our Homework here but, what: is this a scenario where there’s no blame to go round? Is everyone in politics and media acting like this situation is a terrible shock, a black swan event that nobody could’ve predicted and nobody feels they are implicated in?

Do we think the British public might be more accepting of a straitened period of adversity now, if they hadn’t been subjected to eighteen years of increasingly harsh and cruel decline, and plummeting living standards?

This is where our global utopia crashes into laser-guided reality Britons will all feel the impact of the war with Iran, not just those who have moved to Dubai expecting peace and security Charlotte Ivers Saturday March 07 2026, 11.00pm GMT, The Sunday Times ＜ Share n 2013, when I was at university, I used to Facebook-_ message friends who were lounging by private pools in Tehran and Tel Aviv while studying abroad. Back home it had become something of a status symbol to teach yourself Russian, largely because the nightlife in Moscow was so good: dark, sexy and glamorous. In the little English pubs we frequented, friends would airily report on what was happening on the Russian social media site VK, or China's WeChat. Life was good, goods were cheap and the world belonged to us. I feel rather uncomfortable thinking of it now. There's something a bit jazz age about the whole thing: gilded youth toasting their own cosmopolitanism and sophistication while the world trundled quietly towards chaos. There were signs, obviously. In 2014 Russia invaded the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine. But, still, the nightlife in Moscow was fantastic.

Whose global Utopia? The news that the party is over and things are going to get especially miserable is IMO going to come as a major surprise for millions of people who did not get invites to the festivities in the first place.

Faced with a choice between salvaging some slight chance of electoral survival or oblivion, Labour is running head long at oblivion while screaming about migrants.

'Won't somebody think of the bigots?'

Fundamentally this is about fairness and common sense by which we of course mean medieval cruelty for one or more minority and demonstrably sectionable batshit insanity.

Example number 20,000 of austerity actually costing us more money

(Stares in Scottish)

Top tip: get a good feel for what these dorks think is “extreme” and why they think it is, by looking at what they regard as non-negotiable common sense.

Ooh that Walney fellow is a card isn't he? Putting his [fucking mental] opinions about willy and indeed nilly.

John Swinney: 'I won't rest until child poverty is eradicated in Scotland' In his Daily Record column, First Minister John Swinney says he will today unveil further steps to tackle child poverty.

Scotland has the lowest child poverty rate in the UK, and 90,000 fewer children live in poverty thanks to our policies.

But decisions at Westminster have too often held us back.

I want to fully eradicate child poverty, and Scotland should have the full powers to do it.

Tinderbox: The Bell launches a new map of Glasgow's many fires The propensity for so many buildings to catch fire has stoked conspiracy theories galore. Is there anything to them?

Why are there SO many fires destroying historical buildings in Glasgow? Tonight’s tragedy is just the latest.

@glasgowbell.bsky.social mapped them. ‘With every conflagration there are whispers that there’s slightly more to things than meets the eye’.

Brent Crude hits $114 a Barrel.

Shame then that it ran out 7 years ago.

"We have no idea what to do but rest assured, you, the little guy, will take it in the jaw."

We're Americas hoors, not their allies.

hello I'm mental

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Oil prices hitting $110. Enjoy paying $6 for a gallon of gas because Trump had a feeling.
