Great to see you, @MarkJCarney.

I’m here in Canada to deliver for Brits back home.

Two absolute Z tier world leaders. Maybe we will get a trade deal for exciting low cost maple syrup and curling stones

Z list Canada, a member of the G7 and with a life expectancy 4 years higher than its obese southern neighbour, has been somewhat more effective at standing up to and humiliating big baby Trump than most states. What’s your beef with Canada?

Carney is my beef with Canada. Useless turd.

Canadians disagree.

Im not in the habit of changing my opinions based on what other people think. Thats their look out.

I have said all along that Israel should do whatever they can to minimise civilian deaths while doing whatever is necessary to achieve the military objective of the unconditional surrender of Hamas.

If they do that, they are being just and proportional as per just war theory. Regardless of whatever number of casualties there may tragically be, casualties are a tragic fact of war which is why war should be a last resort.

But we are at that last resort and they are at war. And they are entitled to persecute that war until they achieve the unconditional surrender of Hamas as a military objective. As long as they minimise (not avoid entirely) civilian casualties, without prejuding the achievement of that objective, it is just and proportionate.

Some people seem to think that seeking the unconditional surrender of Hamas is going too far. That has never been just war theory. Never.

Morning PB.

It's looking clear that the Israelis have got over-confident.

Evening PB.

It's looking clear that the Israelis have got total air superiority over Iran.

Another Iranian leader dead. Israeli jets flying unimpeded in Iranian air space. Iran impotently lobbing a few missiles at civilian buildings while Israel degrades their military.

Israel have the upper hand and will never have a better opportunity than this to push on, and push hard, and push fast.

The son of the late Shah of Iran has been meeting Netanyahu and looks like being lined up to take over as head of state if the regime falls. Though Trump has vetoed an assassination attempt on the Ayatollah which could turn the situation into a conflagration

A restored monarchy imposed by Israel sounds conflagration-y enough thanks.

Why?

Do I have to be a SEN Primary School teacher on here as well?
Do you think that would be kind?
How do you think some Iranian people might feel?
Might they not like it and do something unkind?

Some people dislike anything anyone does, doesn't mean its either wrong to do or conflagration-y.

A restored monarchy would be a humongous improvement on what we have today for Iran.

You’re channeling some of the imperial energy the neocons developed in the noughties when they thought they could bring back the Afghan King or their favoured Iraqi dissidents and the conquered people would say thank you. They didn’t say thank you. They got grumpy. Remaking the world is more complicated than that.

Let the Iranians decide who they want in charge.

Fascinating how the narrative is changing on migration. This is Mr Working Class Lefty, Terry Christian


“My Socialist solution to immigration problems
1. Nobody who has come into UK is allowed to buy a property or business until they have worked/proven to pay tax here for 5/10 years. Take all dirty money out of system. Why don't @reformparty_uk
Do this if they care so much about working classes ( money laundering tax dodging toffs
2. Immediate deportation to country of origin if imprisoned for any offence even if have family here - and no amnesty if disappearing abroad for 6/7 years to escape money laundering charges etc . Any properties associated confiscated/forced sale to pay costs .”

It’s nonsense, but what’s interesting is that he’s talking about Remigration and Deportation, not just “restricting immigration”

This is the new normal. I predict it will become normalised across the West
