@AllisonPearson @Keir_Starmer Your completely irrational hatred of Starmer has literally driven you mad.

How many times do you have to be told? THE BRITISH PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THE UK TO BE SUBSERVIENT TO THE CORRUPT PERVERT IN THE WHITE HOUSE, AND WE WANT NO PART IN THIS ILLEGAL AND AIMLESS WAR.

[Ben 🇬🇧 @BenInRushcliffe]

In 2017, British Gas decided to close the UK's largest gas storage facility because it needed expensive repairs and wasn’t profitable.

The Conservative government refused to subsidise the repairs or intervene, arguing the market would provide enough supply....

Look folks, reality can sometimes be hard to accept.

We all want freedom for Iran. The regime was a horrible, nasty pack of religious zealots for whom terrorism & murder was always the first option. Their revolution started by killing 400 people in a theater with arson & chained exit doors. They sent thousand of kids to their deaths with toy keys around their necks promising entry to heaven if they just walk in to Iraqi minefields.

I’ve tracked IRGC terrorism across Iraq, Lebanon, Syria & Yemen and even fought them in the PG, They almost killed me in 1988. The Islamic regime needed/still needs to be destroyed … that said:

People are getting upset with why I assess this war will likely fail to topple the regime.

Because it is a fantasy based in Trump’s head using lethal tools we prepared for 47 years for the right moment. That moment likely has passed.

Trump has no idea what he’s doing. Because he has contempt for the people who know what they’re doing & the history of what came before him.

If Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires then Iran is the funeral home of empires. It dresses you up and lays you into the coffin neatly. Then closes the lid.

Trump cannot understand why Iran hasn’t surrendered … “Lookit all them bombs,” he shouts “They should all love Trump!”

That’s it. That’s the Iran-War strategy. He does not care about the people of Iran. It a score settling grudge match egged on by Netanyahu’s 40 years of promises that war will change the regime if we just drop enough bombs & assassinate its leaders.

So If you want to live in a fantasy world where we are suddenly being greeted as liberators by the 93 million Iranians … feel free.

You are now set up for earth shattering disappointment.

You have to account for the fact that Trump could have attacked in support of the protesters in January. He didn’t & he let them be killed. He was completely indifferent. The 30k dead were a one-day talking point.

Right now, none of these attacks will liberate Iran without a populist uprising or invading ground forces. Worse case is a sectarian Civil war. If that happens the only outcome is that it will kill a lot of people, splinter the country & take down the global economy. Trump will sleep soundly & demand he be made Ayatollah.

This is literally his mental illness masked as foreign policy

This war may give some Iranians hope but it’s a false one. Gird for a horrible chain of dramatic events but rest assured Trump doesn’t care about the people of Iran.

He only want its oil. He said so.

I’m sorry folks, but my job is to deliver reality based assessments, not promise you sunshine in a swirling hurricane of flying bullets, bombs, excrement & razor wire.

That is all.

@JohnHarris8725 @MalcolmNance @Tazerface16 Jfc, how do ppl end up as ridiculous & stupid as you?

[Chris S @chrisrs19]

@PepperCorn99051 Only the thickest ppl believe that.

[Chris S @chrisrs19]

@ManOfKent15 @farrellbruce2 Jfc, how the fuck do ppl end up as ridiculous & stupid as you?

[Chris S @chrisrs19]

@MaddisonEra_ Utter bollocks. He got found out after 10 games in the PL.

[Chris S @chrisrs19]

@MrHreviews @farrellbruce2 Jfc, you’re absolutely thick as mince.

[Chris S @chrisrs19]

@Veteran_MC @jcartlidgemp @KemiBadenoch Ppl don’t end up in court for simply being a “patriot” and defending your country, unless your definition of “patriot” includes breaking laws.

It’s sad that you’ve ended up such a dishonest, right wing POS.

@rightviewuk @JimmySecUK The Chilcott inquiry didn’t say politicians lied.

@SmMackinnon @DrNeilStone I understand why really dumb ppl like you want to believe that … but the overwhelming evidence from multiple huge studies is quite clear that vaccines don’t cause autism.

How did you end up this stupid?

[Dr Terry Simpson @drterrysimpson]

Oh god someone who doesn’t know chemistry or biochemistry

This is a classic chemistry fallacy—pretending that a substance is either “good” or “bad” regardless of dose, form, and exposure. Toxicology doesn’t work that way. As Paracelsus said centuries ago: “The dose makes the poison.”

Here’s the reality behind each of those comparisons:

Mercury
•Fish may contain methylmercury, a bioaccumulating neurotoxin that builds up in large predatory fish.
•Vaccines historically contained ethylmercury (thimerosal), which is metabolized and cleared quickly and is not the same compound.
•Today, most childhood vaccines contain no thimerosal at all.

Formaldehyde
•Used industrially in building materials at higher exposures.
•Tiny amounts are used during vaccine manufacturing to inactivate toxins or viruses, and only trace residual amounts remain.
•Your own metabolism produces far more formaldehyde naturally every day than any vaccine contains.

Glyphosate
•Agricultural herbicide.
•Not present in vaccines. The comparison is simply false.

Aluminum
•Aluminum salts are used in some vaccines as adjuvants to improve immune response.
•The amount is tiny and far below everyday exposure from food, water, and medications.

MSG
•Monosodium glutamate is a flavor enhancer in food.
•Not used in vaccines.

The key principle:
People compare chemical names, not actual biology. Dose, chemistry, route of exposure, and metabolism determine risk.

Or put more bluntly:

Listing scary-sounding chemicals without context is not toxicology. It’s marketing.

[Chris S @chrisrs19]

@THuddler @marcus_buckland @SpursOfficial Disagree. We won the EL by beating a very poor Utd team & a some teams below PL standard. Ange was found out in the PL, & after his first 10 games his record was pretty poor.
Firing Ange was the right decision. Hiring Frank was the wrong decision. But the squad isn’t good enough.

[Chris S @chrisrs19]

@rightviewuk @JimmySecUK None of what I wrote is untrue. The question was how much of a threat Hussein was, & how likely it was that he had retained some WMD. It was these points which were probably overstated in the dossier.

@plumbingjedi @ramonagusta There are no Govt figures for health spending on immigrants, and a large % of immigrants using our healthcare system pay an annual fee for access.

[Chris S @chrisrs19]

@plumbingjedi @ramonagusta You have to be particularly thick to believe that nonsense.

@plumbingjedi @ramonagusta That is utter bollocks.
