Guerre en Iran : dans le détroit d’Ormuz, la psychose des mines navales Face à la suspicion de minage du passage dans le golfe persique par les Iraniens, qui pourrait bloquer la navigation pour plusieurs semaines, l’impréparation des Etats-Unis est flagrante.

Brilliant! I expect the BBC will now hurry to correct the record, after all, it wouldn't want such biased journalism to be allowed to stand, right? Right??

U.S. Air Force B-1 And B-52 Bombers Now Striking Iran From The UK The U.S. Air Force now operates three distinct bomber aircraft, all of which can trace their development back to the Cold War.

US bombers loading up on UK airstrips before raining down bombs on Iran.

Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.

When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?

Read that a few months ago.

Fantastic to know how well prepared our leaders worldwide are against the most immediate threat to our existence.

Joking aside... isn't it astonishing how humans have made massive strides in every field EXCEPT leadership, which utterly, absolutely, and totally sucks?

How many words are there in the Magna Carta document?

Next up... strike a match on this bar of soap.

(That last one was another of the voters' "literacy tests" used by the Klan on coloured people in the USA. Instead of the Magna Carta, they used their Constitution.)

Picture of Farage from GB News website with the caption For GB News's funders, £130m is a small price to pay fro vast influence

GB News, the channel of “reactionary rage bait”, has released its latest accounts showing a £22m loss for 2024/25 (and a £131m total loss since launch)

Yet another demonstration that there’s no shortage of funds on the right of British politics, writes @writesbright.bsky.social for the Nerve

Jaja, that really ticks me off. Like Bristol council has to pay a "right of air" for putting up a bridge...

And anyone installing wind turbines at sea has to pay the Crown, putting a bridge strut in a river bed has to pay...

Come on.

Did she cut Trump in on the grift, though...?

Failing to do so might have been the real problem here.

They think of, and look after the interests of :

- Themselves
- Their family / friends
- Their party
- Their country

In that order. Heavily weighted to the first items in that list.

And not just the armed forces.

What about the police, fire brigade and law system which protects their assets here?

What about the education and health system that enables civilisation to function, so they actually have any assets in the first place?

If everyone was like them, we'd all starve.
