Our (idiot) Prime Minister in the UK confirms leading 30+ countries to bring pressure upon Iran, includes at least the threats of sanctions,. Iran is trying to defend herself from US and Israeli attacks. He had a lovely chat with his pal Trump about their plans. Once again, Britain doing entirely the wrong thing!

    Too bad Iran is already deeply sanctioned. It’s what happens when you overuse your leverage. I suppose they could try the opposite - offer lifting of sanctions.

    Starmer is a spineless embarrassment and not the leader the UK needs in these times. He needs to get tossed.

    You think he’s an idiot? Just wait until Nigel is in charge. He’ll be lapping at Trump’s sweaty flaps like a dog with a pile of horse shit. Starmer is actually resisting Trump more than everyone thought he would.

      If I was religious I’d reply with 'Dear Lord noooo! '. There’s idiocy (Starmer), there’s Buffoon, There’s not lasting as long as a lettuce and several steps below that, we are still a mile higher and better off than under iNigel.

      If we let him in, we are (collectively) as dumb as Trump voters.

          I’ve upvoted that comment too. Having a beer then going to bed contemplating the stilupidity and short sightedness of many of our fellow Brits. I can almost unsertplaces like Sunderland (where I lived / worked for 4 years) and Barrow etc. Hide areas decimated by loss of industries and lack of investment. They are desperate for anything.
