“We have totally obliterated the uranium. But we are launching this illegal war because Iran is days away from launching a nuclear strike on the West with bombs made from that uranium.”

I suspect Starmer is toast

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.

He’s just burning your tax money.

No. 2 on my tour of indie bookstores in the award-winning Secret Bookshelf in Carrickfergus where bookseller Jo picked Peadar O’Guilin’s The Call as a book she loves to recommend to customers #indiebooksellers #SaintsAndWarriors

Oh he is such an a-hole

He added: "I believe very strongly that women's wards should be for biological women. What do we do about tha biological female who is a trans man, looks, sounds, presents, lives, his life as a man is biologically female? We wouldn't put him on a women's ward. That would be degrading for him and humiliating And cruel.

Wes streeting admits what he is doing is "humilating and cruel".

But only for trans men (that look and sound man enough).

Perfectly happy to inflict cruelty and humiliation on trans women.

Trump did this.

Trump does every imaginable horrible thing, over and over again.

Evangelist Christians: Silence.

Trump posts an AI slop image portraying himself as Jesus.

Evangelist Christians: SPAWN OF THE DEVIL, BETRAYER OF THE FAITH. YOU GO TOO FAR! GET THEE TO HELL!

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Person putting up fuel protest pic in local group has profile pic with thumbs up if you still love Tommy Robinson. Far be it from me to call it, but there appears a right wing lean into this.

My little bookshop was busy with lots of people wanting a community hug and space

Charming. They’re across the island. Any excuse

Personally I’m making sure all the good wine is drank. Hate to leave it unopened.

Just a reminder that the DOJ is currently violating the law by withholding large portions of the Epstein Files

At least it was only once. With my sense of humour I don’t know how I get away with working with the public, frankly. Bernard Black is the patron saint of booksellers - it’s all dismissed as cutely eccentric.

And intent was the bit missing ;)

I know these guys in another guise. Nowt good comes from it

I don’t think it is - how it is perceived is on them and their various internal meanings/hang ups. You can’t do anything about that, really. It’s like trigger warnings on books - how do you warn the person who is weirdly freaked out by a clashing blue and pink metaphor?

Ach it’s a confused world and a lot of shite gets mixed in. Knowing you, I think this one is on her. (Can’t tell you how many times I’m told ‘you might as well vote for the shinners’ lol)

New Iran thread. Starting with a Lest We Forget:

Hillary Clinton, 9 years ago: “This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”
