It would be trivially easy for any news media to contextualise the Prime Minister's statements with the true fact that Israel assassinated the Iranian lead negotiator. That they do not do that means they are knowingly doing propaganda for the British states militaristic agenda.

Note how every journalist of any stature in the country implicitly understands that their job right now is to build up a load of support for the government's militaristic adventurism abroad. And no memos will have gone out, no orders from above. Total ideological control.

"You're out of road. You can't run from this. No matter how hard you try, no matter how much you kick or claw or cry against it, sooner or later, it always catches up with you. Make your peace." - me, every morning, to my cat about the potassium supplements I have to give her

Finished this today - it's quite short. It's nice, not as good as the main game. Part of this is because you spend the game exploring the sea floor and the wreck with an umbilical connecting to the diving bell, and the cable physics go crazy in immersion-breaking ways quite often

I enjoy reddit because it exposes you to people who just don't understand how fiction works or how to parse any information given at all. the opening explicitly says it's a dream sequence! this person says in replies they thought it was just taking "historical liberties". no you didn't. don't lie

To clarify: Iran, which is not currently occupying any of its neighbours and has no nuclear weapons, is the main source of regional instability; Israel, which (illegally) possesses nuclear weapons and is currently militarily occupying 3 of its neighbours and seeking war with a fourth, is an ally.
