A very disturbing decision

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

UK, sort your priorities out www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Starmer says Iran must return to the negotiating table but unfortunately last week Israel murdered Iran’s chief negotiator who was already at the negotiating table.

Trump bombs a country that poses no immediate threat to the US without Congress approval or reference to the UN and all Starmer does is whine about who is on at Glastonbury. We deserve much, much better than this.

Very relevant today

Look, I’m just a Steering wheel attendant, but I get a bad feeling about the Israel 🇮🇱 Iran 🇮🇷 thing, even more so with Donald Drumpf building up his 🇺🇸 forces in the region. Not WW3, but more a Libya Iraq kind of ending, i.e in tears. What a shame Ukraine 🇺🇦 has been sidelined over this. 😢

Well! There goes the Nobel Peace Prize!

F**k off, Israel and the US can sort their own mess out, the UK ( and the rest of Europe ) should stay well clear

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Another gem right here:

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

A fair summary

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

Good advice.

A very good thread with alarming figures on non-collection of taxes. It cannot just be big business that needs to pay its fair share, small business should pay what it owes as well

If it is factual, it is factual, you cannot censor that for "impariality" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

www.bbc.com/news/article.... Instead of criticising them, Starmer should be thanking them for highlighting how crap the security is

Today is Refugee Day. So we thought it was time to dispel the myths which surround asylum seekers and refugees. Could you live on £49 a week?

And if the worst happens and you need to flee this country the ‘Common Travel Area’ allows Irish & British citizens to travel and reside in either country without immigration controls, you can live, work, study and access public services in Ireland without needing permission. Grab it while you can!

Country that has bombed a defenceless region for almost two years, targeting hospitals and killing thousands of innocent civilians is complaining because another country that it attacked, strikes back and bombs one of their own hospitals.
