Think about what this means:
To the men shot for the crime of walking around their neighbourhood, or their land;
To their families;
Their communities.
What this means to the prospect of peace in the Middle East.
Iran has a terrible régime.
As does Israel.
And now, under Trump, America.

When the US admits that they killed any “military-aged men” who walked within 3km of a downed pilot they mean any boy lanky enough to be a teenager and any middle-aged man able to walk unaided with a cane got shot in the head for the crime of walking.

Turns out that killing a bunch of Iranian leaders who proudly worship martyrdom is about and effective an incentive as introducing the death penalty as a deterrent for suicide bombers.

My Easter reading:
"..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..."

I broke up our toddler group from antenatal classes by serving popcorn at a birthday party. One kid loved it but couldn't say it, so was shouting "Cock porn! Mummy! I love it! More cock porn!". Some of us collapsed laughing but the others really didn't see the funny side.

My momma had measles at age14 before the vaccine, lost her hearing, 90% in one ear -100% in the other. She spent the rest of her life working to overcome a disability she didn't ask for, then later in life died from Covid two weeks before the vaccines became available. F the conspiracy crap.

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies:
a) Ever;
b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East
FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e...
In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.
