Better start saving for next winters fuel bills

Today petrol has jumped by 2p a litre on the forecourt, gas has almost doubled in price so we can expect a deepening of the cost of living crisis. Thank you very much to Donal Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu....not.

Ok nobody I know liked the regime in Iran, but just blowing them up was never going to work, did it not occur to them that the Iranians would fight back? The clerical regime in Iran is just as entrenched as the Catholic Church, you wouldn't expect to blow up the pope and St Peters in Rome and have no one to take over. I'm sure the Iranian regime has just as much structure and fall backs as the Catholic Church does. Now we all seem to be getting dragged in, I'm really pleased Starmer said NO to Trump using our bases, there's no legal basis for this war and I suspect that as ever America just wants us along to help with the death toll, it's about time a British PM didn't follow the US blindly into its foreign wars.

Whats even worse, is that from everything they keep saying, they don't even know why they went to war in the first place and as ever theres no plan for what ahppens when the war ends.

  • "A ​whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will," Trump wrote on his Truth Social website, in a statement directed at a nation that takes pride in ​being one of the earliest centres of civilisation, dating back thousands of years into antiquity.

    "However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds ⁠prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World."
    - Reuters, 4/7/26

    Seriously feeling sick right now. He’s doing all of this simply because he wants to be known for being responsible for “one of the most important moments in the […] history of the world”

    It’s beyond horrific! 

    His primary concern is himself.

    The trouble is that nobody knows if he is serious or not because he often changes his mind, talks gobbledegook and tells many lies. At the same time he could be deadly serious.

    Somebody on the radio said that the only way that he could wipe the entirety of Iran out would be to use nuclear weapons. 

    Imagine being part of a family in Iran right now, perhaps one of the many people who have spent their lives seeking a peaceful existence. What must be going through their minds right now? 

    I don’t know how the political system in the US works but I wish there was some way of putting that man under lock and key because he is out of control and extremely dangerous, primarily to Iran today but also to the world.

    What I don't understand is the news coverage, where is the cry of the fact that all this is horrific war crimes, instead they are publishing the headlines he wants them, even over here. Targeting the population should have a warrent out for his arrest from the international criminal court, so if he steps off his plane he can be arrested when he tried to visit one of his golf courses. 

    Drunk on power and elevating himself to deciding who lives or dies of a people half ways across the world from him.

    I really feel for people in the services who could well be asked to comit genocide and war crimes, what do they do?

    I don’t know what young people in the US forces would be feeling. I’m guessing many could end up traumatised at having killed innocent children and others. I don’t know what would happen to them if they refused to take part. They would be shamed by many but perhaps hailed by others for bravely standing their ground and doing the right thing.

    No, but he's an extreme right wing Christian so in a sense he has a cult following. He's a zealot and zealots of any stripe scare me
