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.

  • Very typical of a narcissist. I'm not religious but admire the Pope for being tolerant in the face of his faith being ridiculed. We need peacemakers more than ever in this world.

  • For y’all wondering why in the world Christian Americans would still vote for Trump, we have to talk a bit about eschatology. Unfortunately I can’t find the article I first found this idea in (it was back in 2016), but there’s a theory that some Christians have voted for Trump specifically because they think he may be the Anti-Christ.

    ”But Prof, why would Christians vote for the Anti-Christ?!” Good question! The Anti-Christ - according to some Christian theologists - is a harbinger of the End Times that will bring about Apocalypse. In some interpretations, the White Rider of Revelations is the Anti-Christ, so he heralds the worst of the Apocalypse. So Christians want the Anti-Christ to come about so that things end faster and we can all go to Heaven sooner.

    Pretty backwards, I know.

  • He had the nerve to say he was being portrayed as a doctor, does he think our heads do up at the back?

    Can the Pope excomunicate him or put him and America under some sort of interdict like they used to in the middle ages?

    I can only imagine the outrage this has caused among American Catholics, or any Catholic for that matter and any other Christians. 

  • Next one in the series should be as Moses parting the Hormuz straight.
