I once did a Cambridge Union debate “This House Believes Western Military Intervention Has Done More Harm Than Good” in which an amazing Vietnamese student and Malcolm Rifkind (bizarrely) were on my side, Tom Harwood, the CEO of the IEA, and some braying posho student were on the opposite side. We both won the debate, and had the biggest swing to our side. Me and Rifkind just spoke without notes, relaxed and without prep, Harwood was sweating like shit, and stuttering through some printed notes, and had about 8 students point out factial innaccuracies. Me, Rifkind and Harwood were all in the same hotel so they booked one cab for us. Rifkind came up to me before and said “Let’s go for a drink but go to our rooms first so we lose the cokehead”. We then had two whiskies where he asked me about my background, and both said I was more talented than his son and said he was shocked Hugo got into Oxbridge because he’s “not remotely intellectually gifted.”

boy have I got good news for you

I imagine it’s a combination of their usual beliefs that leftist politics is just boujie people, combined with the very hollow efforts of the corporate world to do inclusivity meaning it usually comes from a HR manager

Thing is there isn’t an off ramp. Iran tried to negotiate twice and they got their negotiating team and head of state murdered for their troubles. Why would you trust them again? It’s life or death now, this only ends with the US retreating from the region or total state collapse in Iran

We’ve been doomed since 2001? Checks out tbh

UK firms pull fixed energy deals as Iran war pushes up prices Data suggests the number of fixed-term deals has more than halved as prices for wholesale energy surge.

Infuriating this has happened *twice* in the past five years and absolutely no lessons have been learned www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

TREATS NO MORE TREATOMOR oh lawd We find that this pattern consumption (Fig. S). Inary given year, the North consu much labour as it renders, thanks to appropriat whrough unequal exchange. POUCY Trump's tariffs seen delivering a repeat blow to US farm exports AmeriKKKa Last Trump as a giant Soviet officer with a spoon that has Stalin in it zapping treatlerite kulaks. A comrade pitbull is also looking on at a treatler child

Indecipherable third world Maoist meme coined it, although I’m fairly sure the IRGC have lifted America Last 🫡

Oil supply collapse worse than 1970s. Middle East produces a lot of fertiliser and necessary materials- Russia talking about turning the gas off to Europe early, the Treatdomor might actually be here

@ShippersUnbound EXC: My Iran deep dive, which the Telegraph has splashed on this morning Starmer wanted to let the US use Dieo Garcia to attack Iranian missile sites last Friday. The defence secretary John Healey supported him at the NSC. But his ministers, led by 'petulant' Ed Miliband, stopped him * Chief of the Defence staff had to tell the Americans how to frame their request on Saturday so ministers could agree it on Sunday. 48 hours lost and with it UK credibility with allies We've have all thought Richard Hermer was the main blockage. Actually it was Milband, Reeves, Cooper and Mahmood. A PM who can't carry his own war cabinet

Vintage Kieth this. An already disastrous policy that pleased nobody, you then come leak and double down on your cowardice and hateful intent so people hate you more. Ed Miliband couldn’t stop third runways or gutting green energy but suddenly he’s the Lion of Tehran? Fuck off lol

US briefings: FAFO. We’re applying lethality and efficiency. We’re warrior operators.

Iranian briefings:

They seem a bit tame compared to the paedophile cabal tbh

I will never respect the opinions of somebody called Hugo

Watched a tiktok of Palestinian people living in a siege *still* feeding cats during their iftar. And we’ve got to roll this out to the entire region, sacrifice millions of the sweetest people, so the worst cunts in the world can have psytrance raves on their bones and the west can keep their treats

You go about your day then you remember a bunch of apocalyptic paedophiles and Nazis and demonic settlers who’s enemy is life itself is dragging us to Hell and then your government is going along with it because it’s the sensible thing to do, and then you’ve got to reply to those emails

Dubai W England We just chartered this jet for $150K to get us to England. Many people have thought it is impossible to get out of Dubai right now, but that is not actually true! The best thing about making money is the freedom I can buy you. We had to get back for business meetings, and having money gave us the freedom and flexibility to do so

I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe. LinkedIn posting on threads about what fleeing Shahed drones taught you about the Grindset

He’s going to get both Cyprus and Oman bombed isn’t he

Starmer letting slip he actually knew about the attacks and British bases are actually being used then going on to remind him why everybody hates him

Fucking ridiculous country, ACAB

STARMER HEARS THE MUSIC

Amongst the counter-protesters was Ryan Mendelson, aged 33. He said: "I'm with the Jewish community. we come out every week to support the Iranian community because they supported us for two years after what happened after October 7. On Saturday we found out that the Ayatollah was dead, which is amazing because he's killed over 80,000 to 100,000 people on the streets. "These Iranian people want a regime change. They're here to support each other. We're here tonight because they want to light a candle for a dictator, like I say he killed over 80,000 people on the street. What are they gonna do next? Light a candle for Hitler who killed 6 million of my ancestors? "The UK Prime Keir Starmer won't prescribe the IRGC as a terrorist organization. Every other country in the world has done in the US, Europe, but all of a sudden Keir Starmer can't do it."

…so they killed 100k people in the streets in like a few days with shotguns and assault rifles when Israel and the US bombing the shit out of Iran for days has barely got to fraction of that number, got it. Bonus fact that despite Starmer bending over backwards for Zionists they still drive by him

Apparently there was a vigil for Khameini at the Islamic centre, so Iranian disaporoids turned up with the shah flag, Israeli and US flags and pictures of Trump 🫩

The model is constantly having this shit forced on us at work with decreasing resources for anything else but if the AI fucks up then it’s the worker’s fault and we’re out. Granted that’s good cause if you’re like a doctor or a lawyer for trusting this snake oil, same with the troops

The simple way to get around this attempt to obfuscate blame is to 🏗️ both the AI people and US and Israeli military

They’re surely not silly enough to try it. Scrapping with Armenia is one thing but Iran needs to bomb like three oil fields and their economy’s fucked. And mountains! Lots of mountains! Just presume this is defensive posturing surely?!

You’d think they’d know this by now given 1991, Syria (fighting happened this year ffs), etc, but oh well
