🇭🇺🇮🇷 WP: After pager attack on Hezbollah, Hungary offered help to Iran.

BREAKING: JOINT STATEMENT FROM THE LEADERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, FRANCE, ITALY, GERMANY, CANADA, DENMARK, NETHERLANDS, SPAIN, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL AND JAPAN.

Oh.

🌏🦑From the Guardian: "An oil slick from a stricken Iranian ship threatens to contaminate one of the Middle East’s most important wetlands, satellite image analysis suggests" I, along with many others, warned about this.

NEW: The UK will refuse U.S. requests to use British bases for strikes on Iranian bridges or power plants. UK officials argue these targets are civilian infrastructure and could make such attacks a potential war crime, so permission will not be granted. Source: The i Paper

Trump just openly stating his intention to commit genocide at this point: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

BREAKING: Iran has sent a 10-point response (via Pakistan) to a U.S. proposal to end the war, rejecting a temporary ceasefire and instead demanding a permanent end on its own terms. Iran says a ceasefire alone is not acceptable → wants a lasting settlement.

How long ago do you think that we first started using fire?

Why should drunk people not drive? Why do people want Wireless to drop Kanye? Why should parachutes be released *before* you hit the ground The amount of content being generated as if this is a deep philosophical quandary is embarassing

Something I don't think the UK boasts about enough - and a great rebuttal to Reform and the Tories' anti-net zero propaganda: The UK is home to 7 out of the top 10 biggest offshore wind farms in the world. 10 of the top 20. And 6 in 10 of the largest ones in the world currently under construction.

A really good article and one with resonance in Scotland where harm reduction has arguably led to the highest rate of drugs deaths in Europe.

OMG, I love their mocking remarks. They are playing with Trump and he doesn’t even realize it….

Those four astronauts are now the furthest from Donald Trump than anyone has ever been. I envy them.

Several Palestinians were rushed to hospital with severe injuries after an Israeli air strike hit a crowd near the Al Jazeera Club in central Gaza City. Near-daily Israeli attacks have killed more than 700 people since the so-called “ceasefire” entered into effect in October 2025.

🇬🇧 N14: Hezbollah launched a shore-to-sea missile at a British warship approximately 70 nautical miles off the coast of Lebanon, after apparently mistaking it for an Israeli vessel. Israeli assessments indicate that the ship sustained damage.

Don’t let Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch forget that they wanted to back this lunatic to the hilt!

My Easter reading: "..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..."

Wow! Tomorrow we get paid for using electricity from 23:00 tonight until 16:00 tomorrow. From 11:30 to 16:00 tomorrow we get paid ~ 10p per kWh that we use. #goelectric #EVs #battery

Can anyone do a meme of Trump as a Crusader?

Greens doubling down on the "everyone else are just bad people" narrative. Allows them to go on with ignorance about how things work or the trade offs required in governing with no self examination. The difference between a progressive and an egotist is the latter lacks any intellectual curiosity.

In a blatant act of provocation yesterday, Sadiq Khan allowed Christians to perform the Passion of Jesus in Trafalgar Square - a disgraceful show of dominance by a religion from the middle east.

Can someone explain to me how the Greens have ended up demanding universal financial support for the consumption of fossil fuels?

Marie Antoinette would be proud. I often wonder what particular assets are required to get on in politics. It certainly isn't intelligence, honesty or self awareness.

Not sure the difference in costs would be quite as stark in the U.S., but this would certainly be an effective way of demonstrating some of the benefits of going electric.

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.

An interesting piece that discusses the use of assassination by Israel. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

BREAKING: Iran President Pezeshkian releases a lengthy public letter addressed to the American people ahead of Trump's address, defending its actions, denying it poses a threat, and blaming the U.S. for escalating conflict—while warning that continued attacks will deepen instability and resentment.

You just love to see it.

Life.

Let's not pay too much attention to the pills at the moment.

Well done this woman, I hope she's ok, her protest was genius.

Unless Syria is targeted directly by any party, Syria will remain outside any conflict. We had enough war. We paid a large bill. We are not ready for another war experience. Those who have been in war know the value of peace.

Ahhhh JEEBUS!!! My heartbeans have MELTED!!! 😭😭😭 #Penguin #SpeirGorm #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Pebbles #Cute #EdinburghZoo

IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Moosavi: Today, we attacked the residence of American pilots and aircrew in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia, with a drone and a missile, and struck a gathering of 200 people.

I'm disappointed by the nipple misalignment.

This is all too real. These days, satire is just news but in teaser format.

What he means is that they will never be allowed to return

The final reveal was so moving I just punched a Frenchman.

Trump’s approval just under 40% and falling. Net approval ~ -17 (worst of his second term so far). Main reason: rising gas prices (~$4) + economic frustration. Iran war isn’t helping, no rally effect; it’s unpopular and tied to higher costs. Source: Silver Bulletin
