A constant drip of pro US lies and propaganda by people/organisations with vested interests, has led to the UK deluding itself about it's special relationship with the US for many decades. A disastrous mistake.

Terracotta model of a chair - or rather throne - decorated with sculptural pieces and polychrome.
The back, seat and legs have overall white decoration, in zig zag around the base of the seat where blue is also applied. The front feet are lions' paws. The arms rest on women's heads with white faces/necks and red hair and lips. The back has two crosses in open panels, with a long element along the top ending in roundels, and featuring two birds facing outwards.

A tall archway of marble and other stone frames a wooden door with carved panels. One side is open offering a view into a courtyard with further arches and a fountain. The stone doorway is styled with columns either side and a coat of arms at the top with dolphins on each side.

A viral video claiming to show a fire at the US embassy in Saudi Arabia after drone strikes is misleading.

A โ€œlimited fireโ€ did occur on March 3, but the clip being shared predates the outbreak of the latest conflict in the Middle East.
