The UK moral fortitude and rhetoric was for public consumption. The UK Government and military were champing at the bit to get involved, and it will be mission creep from here on in.

Now UK going in full Tonto to the USA's Lone Ranger with letting the Americans B 2 bomber be based at RAF Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford. As was always going to happen the UK Government stipulation 'For defensive purposes' is left up to the USA to interpret.

Addendum: UK Mission Creep Iran War
USA Army Airforce B-2 bombers are being sent to both RAF Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean and RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England.
The UK Government are now up to their neck in what is now a Israel-USA-UK war against Iran

Israel like quoting scriptures.
How about this then -
Jeremiah 5:15 "People of Israel,” declares the LORD, “I am bringing a distant nation against you an ancient and enduring nation, a people whose language you do not know, whose speech you do not understand."

They are all Optional Identity Titles of Regional Accounting Units of their respective UK unionist parties.

Not half as brutal as putting up with her and her entries from the 'Kaye Adams Big Bumper Union Jack Book of Reliable Unionists' that phoned her in near daily.
The deranged harpie no boubt will get a gig at the likes of GB News, LBC, Talk Radio or maybe a Reform UK candidate at the Holyrood Election

With the RAF now deployed in defending Israeli airspace, this leaves the Israeli Air Force able to deploy its forces to attack Iran instead of defending its own border.
But long-term, this is an unprecedented precedent presented to Israel. Any attack on Israel, they can demand UK military assistance

UK deploy its armed forces to defend UK bases in the area
UK expands the operational envelope of these forces to include defending allies (Israel) in the area.
So in the space of 4 days the UK have moved from no involvement to flying point defence to shoot down Iranian counterattacks on Israel.

What is happening with the UK regarding the Israel / USA attack on Iran is mission creep.
UK deny the USA use of a UK base to attack Iran
UK allow the USA use of a UK base for defense against Iran
UK refuse to state what the constraints and limits are in what 'defense' means

Didn't know Douglas Fraser had gone.

Jesus (latin translation) from Joshua (Greek translation) from Yeshua (Aramaic) much wished for by the religious maniacs in America, is in for a rude awakening if the deity was to return when a 5'2", dark olive-skinned, brown eyed, black coloured thick-haired bearded individual made his appearance.

By stating "we could use their base if we want," he is signaling that the U.S. might prioritize its own national security interests over the "permission" of an ally if a conflict escalates.
The UK if it does not lay down the law on this will have finally confirmed they are the USA's patsy.

Summary: The Trump Position: His comments imply that because the U.S. provides the hardware and the funding, they should have the final say.

This statement means that as far as the USA are concerned that if they have a military base in another sovereign country. The USA will do what they want, when they want, how they want, no matter the repercussions militarily and politically for the host nation involved.

Trump's during an Oval Office meeting on March 3, 2026 stated.

"And now Spain actually said that we can't use their bases. And that's all right. We could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it. But we don't have to."

Not bothered about them staying on X but they go to the trouble of opening on Bluesky but don't bother using it to have their input seen and read by a segment that followed them.

It is annoying as going onto their X account is another click for Musk. Goodness knows why they are ignoring such a principled segment of the Independence movement that took the step to leave.

Each polling company has its own algorithms for weighing the polling data. Compounded with who they ask on the polling register they have and how they assess what the individual is allocated to what voter segment.
Therefore open to manipulation because of these variables erode trust.

Interesting, James Cook on GMS carefully explains how various papers are biased against Labour hence their negative take on Trumps remarks re Keir Starmer. I wonder if this apparently new understanding of press bias will now extend to pointing out the flaws in SNP bad stories?

Imagine if, instead of letting cheap renewables drive down prices, you decided to protect fossil fuel companies by pegging the cost of electricity to the most expensive (fossil fuel) source!

How corrupt would a government need to be to do that? Oh!

The repopulation of the hinterland of Scotland so cruelly cleared, leaving an ecological biodiversity desert. Due to the clearances and economic policies. Should be a founding principle in a Scottish Constitution; see attached proposal.

Same with me. Get snippets from MSM Monitor on X that I look at now and again. MSM_Monitor are missing a trick not cut and pasting articles onto Bluesky.

Think it would be the end of Cook and Campbell.
Robertson and Geissler will then fight it out for their jobs.
