The BBC isnโ€™t telling the truth about Israelโ€™s nuclear arms The UK broadcaster is writing hundreds of articles on Iranโ€™s budding nuclear programme while failing to inform the public about Israelโ€™s actual nuclear weapons.

The worldโ€™s leading arms watchdog, SIPRI in Sweden, has been saying for nearly two years that Israel is โ€œbelieved to be modernizing its nuclear arsenal and appears to be upgrading its plutonium production reactor site at Dimonaโ€ in the Negev desert.

And maybe Canada and Greenland ought to be even more worried.

- consort with paedophiles
- carry out financial extortion
- dispense his favours to his family and courtesans
- ignore and pardon the crimes commited by his "friends"

What have I missed? What a time for the world we live in.

Have I got this right?
Donald Trump can do anything he wants to with no personal consequences.
He can:
- assassinate leaders of any country he chooses
- kidnap leaders of any country he chooses
- starve and coerce any country he chooses
- have his private army murder American citizens

One thing is clear.

Keir Starmer is singularly incapable of standing up to Donald Trump.

The tangled web the UK has woven to entrap Scotland An edited version was published in the November 6th edition of The Scotsman and the November 10th edition of The National.

This is over two years old but I think the information is relevant to the HR26 elections
Scotland could have ferry services to The Netherlands and wider Scandinavia
We could have trade routes too but the UK Gov's Freeport agenda is blocking progress

To maximise the pro-Indy vote in May 26 there needs to be a site which recommends the best 1/2 vote constituency by constituency. So we can decide whether snp1/snp1 or snp1/sg2 is more likely to help win more pro-Indy seats. Is there such? Anyone git plans do do so?

"Letโ€™s be clear, Donald Trump and the Epstein class that have enabled genocide in Gaza are now blowing up Iranian children and setting the Middle East on fire to enrich themselves and cover up their paedophilic crimes.

We need to build a mass movement to stop them."

Americans may live in that country, but the rest of us live in that world. Welcome to the new world order where Trump is free to assassinate anyone he chooses.

Trumpโ€™s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate โ€“ or legal basis US president violates UN charter just days into his Board of Peace era, and chooses to take the biggest gamble of his administration

For over 30 years Netanyahu has been claiming Iran is on the cusp of developing a nuclear weapon
Iran has a nuclear power industry that was heavily overseen by UN Inspectors
Trump tore up that deal
UN Inspectors found no evidence Iran was developing a nuclear weapon

I agree. Trump will *need* to have it all wrapped up, in his eyes, in a few days. Flash, bang, job done. Netanyahu is a different matter. He will persevere. So will Iran...

You might recognise Maggie Reilly from her singing on Mike Oldfield's Moonlight Shadow. ๐Ÿ™‚. "September" was recorded in Glasgow's top studio - CaVa. Popular story is that Alan Darby used a Les Paul into a Peavey Deuce for that song. His control of feedback is outstanding.

Isn't Iran also a major supplier of drones for the Russian attacks on Ukraine?

'These strikes are wrong at a time when negotiations are still going on, but the public have been let down by both sides because the [US] government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner.'

Way back in time Alan Darby played in Glasgow based band - Cado Belle. I loved them, used to see them in the pubs. Here's Alan Darby at his sublime best. When Maggie Reilly sings in unison with AD's guitar it's just sublime. This song is easily in my all time top 5.

As Neil Murray played in the pit band for WWRY in the theatre in London for ages, I guess he'll pass the auditions. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ.
(Alan Darby (RIP) and Laurie Wisefield also played in that band)

Did you follow the campaign against the changes in BBC Radio Scotland programming? There's plenty there to write about.

Also, why does Scotland get lowly English football matches, FA Cup matches etc.

Apologies for not having reference sources.

Air power and elite special forces both make leaders feel like they have costless military options because any consequences are abstracted and delayed.

Those unable to value delayed gratification are equally unable to conceive of any price that's not immediate and obvious.

Absurdly dangerous.

An Omani mediator said last night a peace deal between the US and Iran was within reach.

This morning, the US and Israel bombed Iran.

No imminent threat. No legal basis. Another illegal war dressed up as โ€œsecurityโ€ and โ€œdemocracyโ€.
