Our UK diesel has gone from £1.33 pre war to £1.63 a litre; that's £6.03 to £7.40 a gallon.
And it will be more at motorway petrol stations.

He's the man,
With a plan,
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand,
He's...

Success for businesman Trump?

•Win bet on when Iran scuffle will start
•Create drone companies for family members
•Make incredibly fortuitous investment deals on oil prices
•Win bet on when Iran bombing will end

Meet the new boss, worse than the old boss!
Look like the old guard got their man in. No reform or compromise.

Putin is helping Iran, giving the Clerics information from Russian satellites e.g. for targeting.
Perhaps that fact will change Trumps attitude towards the war in Ukraine and he will wish to give greater aid.

Just copying what Iranian leaders have said for 40 years?

Here's hoping this Israeli method of deselecting supreme leaders continues ad infinitum

Starmer is an embarrassment at times because of his legalistic training and outlook. He's probably the polar opposite of Trump.
But his advisors will have told him he has to maintain our relations with the US, will have reminded him of all the illegal activities of Iran every year on our soil.
Thankfully for Starmer our RAF base on Cyprus has been attacked so all his gibberish about defense becomes true. He can justify the US using the two airbases in the UK and that in Diego Garcia.

The price

it's long overdue given the last 50 years of this dreadful Iranian regime conducting its war against westernised infidels.

It's interesting to think how long he's been in power. I think Iran has had 4 leaders in 100+ years. I don't know of another country with that track record.

Since 1979 the two Iranian clerical leaders have thought of themselves as God's representative on earth, their beliefs justifying the killing of thousands, even including infants in hospitals.

I always wonder how nobody shoots these evil people

My thoughts at the moment...

it's long overdue given the last 50 years of this dreadful Iranian regime conducting its war against westernised infidels.

pretty sure Iran will end up divided and in the chaos that we see in Lybia or Iraq.

US troops in Bahrain also under attack. The Iranian fanatics will hit back, they have nothing to lose.

Stay safe bachophile, missiles incoming!

It was pre recorded,no?

Good luck with Epic Fury. I'm sure the UK will be backing this if not actively helping and taking part. Guessing the two US battle fleets may be mostly self sufficient.

Your N.E. made the UK news. You're getting up to 2inches of snow per hour and up to 70mph winds.
My wife would say 'duvet day' and snuggle in front of daytime TV

Wow. Impressive snowfall.
It hit 18 degrees here yesterday and we didn't bother putting the heating on. We have crocus showing colour

Yes very.
Also interesting she has her Bosie upright angled away from the wall to properly allow the sound out.

He’s narrowed it down to either medicine or aerospace engineering. With a minor in music.

That's quite amusing. At his age I also still had no realistic idea of what I actually wanted to do.

Methinks it's a sign of his aging process
