Iβm an NHS nurse.
I love my workmates.
I barely tolerate my family.
The work I do matters.
It makes a real difference to people during the most difficult times of their lives.
Duty & service matter. That involves some degree of personal sacrifice.
Iβd hate to be an office guy motivated by money.
Unfortunately so.
I find a nice walk helps.
Leave Iran with a weakened national infrastructure and a ginormous power-vacuum.
Itβll become a hotbed of radical extremism which will spill across international borders. That will be used as justification for future strikes.
And so the military-industrial complex feeds itself in perpetuity.
βthere are complex nuances in what's happening right now that make it morally confusingβ
Not really.
Itβs very simple.
The regime in Iran is terrible.
Bilateral action by two nations run by unstable extremists is the wrong way to address that.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
No confusion.
Heβs βdestroyed and even obliteratedβ the country, but plans to keep on bombing.
Imagine the difference those weapons could make in Ukraine where the threat is real.
Heβs not right. He needs help.
Things he shouldβve said:
βFucking stop it you crazy bastard. This is obviously a breach of international law. You canβt just keep blowing shit up to distract people from the fact that youβre a friend of Jeff. Stop it now. You bell-end.β
Itβs amazing that people donβt know this, but also amazing that given a world map Trump likely couldnβt mark Iran on it.
Heβd just eat the crayon.

Heβs chased ReformUK policy so closely that heβs now following Farage all the way up Trumpβs arse.
When a UK Prime Minister canβt bring themselves to condemn illegal military strikes, itβs time for them to go.
This Labour government was supposed to be better than the omnishambles that preceded it.

When Iβd gathered my thoughts today about the unlawful US/Israeli military action in Iran I went for a seaside stroll to calm myself down.
Still feeling quite anxious.
But we do know that criminalising drugs and drug users is only effective at creating an entirely unregulated criminal marketplace with all of the horrors than entails.
Itβs time for sensible evidence-based policy making.

Iβve been nursing for more years than I care to admit.
In that time Iβve seen many lives blighted by drugs.
Some illicit - MDMA, heroin, cocaine, weed etc., etc.
Some legal and regulated - booze, tobacco.
Neither model is effective at mitigating all harms.

Was the suggestion from June last year that βIranβs nuclear facilities have been obliterated - and suggestions otherwise are fake newsβ itself fake news?
Or in a terrifyingly familiar pattern are lies about WMD being used to justify war in the Middle East?

Politicians lying about WMD to start an unlawful war in the Middle East has given me some uncomfortable memories of my time in Basra and quite some anxiety this morning.

Of course we all absolutely believe the testimony of a powerful man who denied a sexual relationship with a 22 year old subordinate woman when he was almost 50.
