Yep, all shaped by the media

When Israel responds to an attack it’s called self defence, when Iran does it, it’s called retaliation or aggression.

seriously, there were daffodils growing and everything!!

Took one for the team. 😩

Went to another one of those no-go zones in London. Terrifying

Check out their authors, I’m sure you’ll understand why.

The disconnect is INSANE.
