If it turns out to be true that Britain is denying the United States the ability to use British bases against Iran if there is a necessity for an attack - it would be beyond surprising.

I’ve been a military lawyer most of my adult life. What they’re saying about the status of Diego Garcia, the joint US-UK military base, is a huge question.

The bottom line is the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet is the weakest it’s been because the people of Iran have risen up by the millions to end their oppression and the United States and Israel have delivered crushing blows to the regime’s military infrastructure.

To my friends in Britain, sitting this one out puts you on the wrong side of history and is yet another example of how much our alliances throughout Europe have degraded.

I don't know what @HYUFD must be thinking after today aa he is one of the most loyal posters for the royal family on here

I hope he is coming to terms with the news

Us committed monarchists believe the system is one that works well, even when the individuals let it down (and unfortunately I doubt Andrew will ever face charge or conviction, which he probably deserves).

I give the monarchy a 50/50 on making it to George - republicanism is not super popular or anything, but support can evaporate quickly if matters are handled badly, and many of the most passionate monarchists are weirdos, which hinders arguing the case for it.

UK blocking Trump from using RAF bases for strikes on Iran

Shame on Starmer if so.

I’m not going to rise to replying to the uninformed, unChristian warmonger bile you are continually posting.

I am an atheist. Could not care less about being unChristian.

Wanting the liberation of Iranians from their brutal dictatorship is not bile.

I would like to see the Iranian people free from such barbaric masochistic women hating bastards. But that’s not the purpose of the latest round of bombing, is it?

Well arm yourself with the facts. The Iranian population is one of the best educated in the region and there is no educational discrimination against women. I think you might be confusing Iran with some of the Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq where prejudice against women is severe. There are more Iranian female graduates than male ones.

Some other facts - the regieme in Iran imposes the “Islamic” rules on women such as their evidence in a law court is worth less than a man’s.

There are non-stop conflicts between the religious police and women who want to dress how they want and behave as they wish.

I don't know whether you are Jewish. I somehow thought you might be. if you think women are prejudiced against in Islam it's but nothing compared to judaism. Try getting a Get (a Jewish divorce ) if you are a woman. Or the male morning prayer "Thank you for not making me a woman " Or the womens one "Thank you for making me according to your will"

These Muslims........
