The British right has become so coddled by Musk’s poisonous echo chamber that they’re convinced it’s reasonable to expect British shelf-stackers to pay for the security of those who literally fled to country to live in a tax haven dictatorship built on modern slavery.

Absolute weirdos.

Catalogue cover for Doniselli, makers of triporteur-type cargo trikes, featuring an illustration of a triporteur rider riding through a big letter D, with a row of normal bicycles following behind. In the background there's the Milan cathedral and some other buildings.

You think it’s more odd than the the son of an Iranian dictator overthrown for being a murderous despot thinks Europe’s young men should be liberating Iran for him to swan back into? Okay.

We’re now being lectured on the morality of spending our money and sending our young men to die β€˜liberating’ Iranians by the β€œShah of Iran”, a man hiding in America for 48 years after his father massacred 3,000 Iranian protesters in Tehran on β€˜Black Friday’, 1978.

No!

1/ He wasn’t a child; he was a trainee pilot in the Imperial Iranian Airforce.

2/ He’s had 48 years to put his life on the line to liberate the people whose family members his father butchered, so he shouldn’t be expecting 20 year-old Europeans to do his job for him.

Guardian headline: Starmer faces greater quandary over 'special relationship' after Iran attack

Guardian headline: Starmer faces greater quandary over 'special relationship' after Iran attack

1/5 If UK assets are being used strictly for defensive purposes to protect lives and prevent missile attacks, that is one thing.

But allowing British bases to be used for what looks increasingly like a war of aggression led by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu is another matter entirely.

Not one penny of British taxpayers’ money to repatriate the fake patriot tax dodging crooks, influencers, faded sportsmen, and robber barons hiding in Dubai.

Enjoy your modern slavery-built infinity pools and air raid sirens.

Focus on rapid decarbonisation, which would starve the war pigs of both funds and motivation.

What do you think links Nigeria, Venezuela, and Iran?

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

While you’re being lectured on Britain failing to support the U.S in another war, remember that the fascist Iranian dictatorship is the direct result of Britain assisting America in overthrowing the democratically-elected Iranian government in 1953 and installing a dictator.

All those billionaires and CEOs who loudly declared they were leaving New York for Dubai when Mamdani was elected mayor may have missiles falling on their luxury resorts right now, but at least they escaped free bus access and a handful of subsidised supermarkets. A small price to pay, surely

42 million Americans are on food stamps, but Trump has a limitless supply of $2 million Tomahawk missiles to drop on Iran when Israel and Saudi Arabia - the latter of which is home to the world’s most profitable company - come callingβ€¦πŸ€”

Right wing Americans can crow all they want, but we’re not sending 18 year-old squaddies from Wigan to get their heads blown off in another American war for oil launched to justify stitching up the U.S midterm elections and covering up Trump’s involvement with Epstein.

Not one drop of British blood for the corrupt U.S President’s resource wars.

If Americans had any sense, they’d be saying the same.

By the way, release the Epstein Files.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
