Really my 5 year old grandson would get it, but just for you ................A while back there was this nasty big bully and he started to pick on me but I stood up to the bully and we had a fight. Because he started it the teacher made him pay me some money to pay for my ripped trousers, the bully is now my friend and we share our sweets. Recently there's this other kid who keeps saying he wants me dead he is a bit sneaky and believes in a strange god that married a child. Im thinking of giving him a dig before he brings a knife to school and carries out his threats, it will be worth a f

No obviously not they are still "at war" !

Makes perfect sense. The USA offered to put all the engineering and infrastructure in place for them to enrich the Uranium basically so they could keep tabs on it and control it before they even started bombing so not sure why thats strange ? Compensation is also not unusual the UNCC handle the claims and Germany after WW1 and Japan after WW2 both had reparations imposed.

WE ???? Islam in the UK is not quite on Irans level just yet...............even you have to concede that ?

That's not a win against the USA by any stretch of the imagination, I doubt the USA give a shite about the Strait of Hormuz they have there own oil supplies especially now Trump has control over Venezuelan oil. A crap comparison as well in all fairness. You still didn't answer my question should we just step back and allow Islamic regimes to become stronger?

On another point concerning potential attacks on the UK if we get involved with 20 IRGC terrorist attacks being thwarted in this country I checked some stats. It looks like ICE detained and deported over 800 Iranians leading up to June 2025, if only our government took a leaf out of the USA's book we may be a little bit more inclined to assist the USA ?

I think the Insurance companies are calling the shots on that one in all fairness coupled with the inability and cowardice of governments like ours to protect the ships, hence Trump calling on its allies for assistance.

Irans army was ranked globally as 16th in the world. Since the USA has bombed them they 40 senior commanders were killed within hours causing a military vaccum, the air force has been destroyed and America have complete control of the airspace. The navy is destroyed, The Shahid Bagheri was reduced to a smoking shell within minutes, and the Makran is still burning at its pier in Bandar Abbas. Of the six Jamaran-class frigates, two have been destroyed and another two or three have been heavily damaged. The Fateh, the only modern submarine of its class, has also been destroyed. 40

In your opinion I presume ? And Iran not a threat, may be not so much now the USA has bombed them but they have the 3rd biggest oil reserves in the world and at this moment in time oil=power. Again the Ayatollahs arent interested in economies, the growth of there country or the welfare of its people, it wants the death and complete annihilation of the West. On that basis Im comfortable with pre-emptive strikes to stop them gaining the upper hand. Anyone who thinks Trump is running the show single handed is a fool. If his advisors thought his actions were genuinely threaten

There are a fair few in work with the same mindset as you almost like you want the USA to lose and be totally humiliated, a very strange view! I will ask you the same question as I've asked them, what was the other option, sit back hope nothing happens and let Iran and Islam become more powerful across the world ? As mentioned previously we are not in a fight against people and countries who are after ruling us or taking our resources or land they want to annihilate us, they want us gone, dead.

I've said this before MSM seem to be pushing this narrative that pensioners are the biggest drain on this country, triple lock, own 64% of the houses, NHS etc. These are people that have mostly paid in all their lives and of course they would own 64% of the houses they have been paying a mortgage for longer than someone in their 30's! I was over the moon when my dad was able to retire at 58 he had worked since the age of 14 paid into the system and never claimed a single benefit in all that time, now it seems they are training the younger generation to resent pensioners but I suppose

A cross between castaway and misery, very good film with some funny moments as well.

I would say equally in our house, most decision are taken jointly and I'm lucky that she accepts I'm better at some things and I accept she's better at others (much more than me if I'm honest). I've been with my wife since the age of 16, married at 25 and our 33rd anniversary is on Saturday. I have always given her control of our money and been happy too in all those years we have never been in debt so another of her plus points. She's my guardian angel I would probably have been a down and out without her so happy for her to wear the trousers.

Rich's has gone "up market" but my local go to for cider, the dry is lush and the restaurant is top notch as well. There used to be Coomb's Cider just up the road but its a caravan park now. You ever been to Wilkins at Lands End Farm ? I would advise anybody who is around the Somerset area pop in there its like stepping back in time and Roger is a right character.

Did you copy and paste that from the Green Party manifesto ?
