“We think we’re so clever and brilliant wading into countries, plunging in and firing missiles. But we don’t think of the absolutely catastrophic effects that they can have many decades down the line.”
On BBC Question Time, George Monbiot explains that the Islamic Republic was partly established in response to British and American imperial action.
In 1953, Western powers overthrew a democratically elected Iranian government in the process of nationalising Iranian oil, paving the way for an Islamic Republic hostile to Western powers.
'There is a genocide happening right now in Gaza, it has been so destroyed it is literally a different colour from space.'
At the end of WWII, this country looked at the bodies and promised we would never allow these kinds of atrocities to happen again. This monument reminds us of those who gave their lives fighting a genocide, and that ‘never again’ means never again for anyone.

The brilliant tax lawyer who was fundamental in bringing down Tory Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi....so many dodgy Tories you start to lose track don't you?.....
Anyway @DanNeidle believes Michelle Mone and husband have admitted criminal liability in their interview #bbclaurak
Hilarious!
Latest setback to the Tory Rwanda plan: there are no planes. Airlines fearing reputational damage are said to be refusing to supply aircraft and the MoD doesn’t want to be involved either
