We don't now, and never have had a meaningful democracy in the UK. Without democracy, then, whither freedom? Socialist, procrastinator and (former) spaniel wrangler in Penzance, Cornwall. User number: 402,198

Surely, you'll only get $1,001,000 if the computer is wrong, so the rational act is to one box?

As others have alluded to, they aren't prospective allies, they are scalps that need to be taken.

If you have managed to survive the Starmer project unscathed, then you simply don't have what it takes to demand electoral trust.

If they are such stalwart moral bastions, why haven't they been whipped out for being so?

That sounds like an admission that the US intends to wipe out the Iranian people as a whole.

There’s a word for that, isn’t there?

Tony Blair has rebuked the UK prime minister over Trump's war on Iran by saying, "we should've backed America from the very beginning", the Mail reports. The paper describes it as a "stinging blow" to Sir Keir Starmer, who decided not to join the initial US-Israel strikes on Iran.

If you have war criminal Blair condemning Starmer for not supporting the illegal Epstein War, Starmer should be looking to de-escalate his deputy’s assurance that it’d be legal to escalate.

US-Israel war with Iran: B-1 Lancer bomber lands at RAF Fairford The aircraft is the fastest bomber in the US Air Force and is piloted by a crew of four.

There’s no such thing as a defensive strike on Iranian missile sites, when you are carry out a war crime of aggression.

It’s time to close down all US air bases on our territory.

It is good to be counted, even if you vote for Vermin Supreme.

I don't know if the US counts spoiled ballots (or even has the capacity for it, considering the prevalence of voting machines), but if they are counted, your vote isn't isn't wasted.

Their very premise is obfuscatory, inasmuch as there isn't a single jot of legislation that establishes a 'party vote' as valid. Indeed, all electoral legislation undermines the premise.

The idea that we elect governments is perhaps one of the most persistent and harmful lies that can be propagated

There are 435 members of the House, 100 in the Senate. Less than a handful are worth a damn, and even that's debatable. You think that happened on accident? That every person to get into office just happens to suck ass, out of a country of 348M people? This is what the system is designed to produce.

The irony disappears quickly when you accept that Starmer is an inveterate liar, and anything he says which appears too good to be true, will be quickly replaced with the realisation it wasn't true from the outset. He uses weasel-wording and evasion to cover his tracks.

Iran is 3.8 times bigger than Iraq (nearly the same size as the US Pacific contiguous coastal states), and is about 60% mountain. Any boots on ground offensive is doomed to failure, even if the Kurds are drawn further into it.

CPAC Head Says Iranian Schoolgirls Are Better Dead Than β€œin a Burqa” Leading Republicans don’t seem to care about the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran.

Is it reasonable, then, to hold the opinion that Republicans are better dead than in Congress?

If it is OK to kill children, under any circumstances, why is it not OK to kill those that kill children, even if such a belief is loosely framed?

Has anyone worked out what the legal basis for Iran War is yet?

"We're sharing intelligence on a 24/7 basis in the usual way. That is the special relationship." ~ Starmer

Complicity in an illegal war.

Also, sending fighter jets to a region where Iran’s reach is limited, is not defensive; it is objectively offensive.

I wonder if Ian has ever paused to wonder why it is not known as the law based order, and that perhaps the reason it isn't is glaringly obvious?
