You're all mocking them but I bet a hundred years from now every military school in the world will study and learn from the American strategy v Iran. That's legacy.

Same thing with the Make Votes Matter logo, which is a shame because they started using the suffragette colours long before it got hijacked by the GCs.

I really cannot wait until 2029 so I can vote these scumbags out.

Oil prices dip as Trump says Iran war is 'ahead of schedule' and will end 'very soon' After surging above $100 a barrel on Monday, oil is now closer to $90. Trump also says he will hit Iran

Why the heck respected news outlets are still spending their time trying to put a rational interpretation on a speech by a guy who literally doesn't know what he's thinking or saying from minute to minute, goodness only knows.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

I asked my plumber for a rough estimate so he said 500 quid while punching me in the face.

Well, to be fair, I too would move hundreds of miles not to have to be stuck in a room with Farage.

I don't have a FT subscription so can't read the article, but I wonder whether Trump's health might also come into it? He's looking increasingly unwell so may end up cancelling meetings.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

This is a picture of Tehran now. Covered in thick black toxic clouds of smoke, raining oil on 9 million people with cancerous polluted air entering every lung. People breathing this. Animals breathing this. Trees breathing this. A humanitarian and environmental catastrophe.

Same in Cardiff. Not so long ago you could have fit the entire local party into a shoe box. Now our action days are buzzing.

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Such a pity this happened before Liz Truss had chance to become leader.

We’ve been denied the AlbaTruss Party.

Nothing says "we support women's rights" like a bunch of beardy cunts forming a mob in order to harass a woman *about women's rights*.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

Moving Target is an INCREDIBLE film.

Moving Target – an Irish kung-fu movie about Beamish, the IRA and nuclear weapons. (2000) YouTube video by Colm Cahalane

Okay, I've watched the movie now. Off to have a listen to your podcast review.

In return, I recommend you also watch Moving Target, the *other* Irish martial arts movie (well, that I know of anyway.)

Well, at least everyone tried their best and had fun.

Yes, all of those.

It's actually not the only Irish martial arts movie. There's also this one, which centres around nuclear detonators hidden in a bottle of Beamish.

They dedded Mikey from Boyzone! Ronan Keating won't like that.

Lol, there's a blooper reel at the end. Could have done without the todger shot in the bloopers though.

a woman in a white sweater is standing in a kitchen holding a glass . ALT: a woman in a white sweater is standing in a kitchen holding a glass .

And now we have a shoot-out with every gunfight scene cliche in the book.

It is extraordinary.

In a parallel with @fubsyshabaroon.bsky.social 's favourite movie Biggles, this movie has a car crash that wasn't actually in the script, but they left it in the movie anyway.

At least the tournament has some decent fight scenes in it. I'll give it that.

AAAARGH WHY DID A MAN WITH A BEER BELLY JUST STRIP NAKED! TODGER JUMPSCARE!

One of the fighters in the tournament just snapped a guy's neck, and the monks weren't even like, "That wasn't very Christ-like of you."

This movie does realise that Irish monasteries aren't the Shaolin, right?

The monks are holding a martial arts tournament which the hero must win in order to get his girl back, though it's not entirely clear why. Is the first prize his girlfriend?
