It seems a bit absurd that I am trying to decide how to name a god damn variable when we're on the brink of WWIII, fascism is rising across the world, and the planet is burning and flooding at the same time. And all this because of a bunch of greedy motherfuckers who should be imprisoned for the rest of their lives. #Iran #ClimateChange #Fascism
“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly.
The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.” ― Marjane Satrapi
Here is the statement from Keir Starmer on the illegal bombing by the US of Iran’s nuclear facilities last night.
It doesn't condemn Trump’s unilateral action as illegal, makes no attempt to distance the UK and it now puts all UK citizens in increased danger.
Spineless, toadying, and exactly what I would expect from Starmer. I look forward to Lammy brown-nosing further.

[NYTimes]: Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, said he was briefed on the U.S. government’s intelligence on Iran last week and that “Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States.” “Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon,” he wrote in an online post. “The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.” By Edward Wong
