Not a particularly good start for Trump, couple of days into the war and they are blowing their own planes out of the sky.

Sad to see that we've caved in and let him use our air bases. Defensive maneouvres or not, it serves only to drag us into something that we don't need to be involved in.

We will never learn.

So let Iran bomb uk bases and just turn a blind eye, great outlook that.

We won't know for quite a while what, if any, pressure Trump applied to Starmer. I suspect that sabre rattling involving 'tariffs' may have been used. Yes, these have been struck down by the US Supreme Court but they issued no diktat about making automatic refunds and the orange blimp is forcing each company to sue the US Revenue Service for repayment on each transaction.

No doubt UK companies would find import agent repayments in three years time would be a great comfort to their appointed administrators!

I've not mentioned letting them do that, its a hell of a lot more likely to happen now that we've asked Trump how high he'd like us to jump as usual. Let Trump and Netanyahu crack on with it and stay out of it. You don't agree, I get it. My opinion is just as valid as yours fella.

Everyone's opinion is valid and accepted by me, agree to disagree in a civilised manner, that is good for debates
 
When did we blow up a school in a foreign land, must of missed that.
I think he is talking about the school that was hit on Saturday in Iran it was close (600 metres) to a republican guard building. According to Iranian authorities there was at least 153 dead.

Bit concerned about Cyprus and the drone incident today.

My Mam is going on holiday there next month. She got stranded in Cyprus when covid kicked off. The tour operator offered her an earlier flight home and despite me urging her to come home, she decided to stay as it "seemed a lot of fuss about nothing." Then she was told the hotel was closing in a few days so she needed to leave and her flight home was cancelled. She ended up paying a ridiculous amount of money for a flight to London, then had to cross London with her suitcase and get a train back up here. I was worried sick about her. Don't want to go through that again!
