Just a recommendation which I've mentioned before 

Watch Bitter Lake by Adam Curtis 

It's the closest explanation I've seen to our relatively modern fucked up world

If it does all kick off - are we happy to take in the Iranians who flee the country?

Can we just stay well away and watch from a distance.

Do nothing - “boooooo Starmer’s a coward”

Get involved - “booooooo Starmer’s wasting our money/time/benefits”

As I said, from a distance. Something that won’t cost much but effective. We can provide leaflets that another country can drop over Iran. Total cost of a few grand. Jobs a good un.

Probably. But they'll be the next lot coming over on the boats I'd imagine. And I doubt Trump will have them! 😁

Ask our Maud 😂 loads of folk raved about it to me so I said come On cock, get dressed I’m taking you out. We both thought it was a proper restaurant, you should have seen her face when we pulled up outside and realised it was a takeaway with a few bits of plastic garden furniture for those dining in. Needless to say we ate elsewhere. 
 

All that being said I do know a lot of people swear by it.

Sorry mate - but this has really made me laugh! I bet I've seen that exact face at work when I've suggested something she thinks is a shit idea. 

She's brilliant though. One of the good guys! 🙂👍 But I don't think she'd be the best bluffer in poker! 😁

Well, the military build up is well on the way, maybe even complete. 

Agent Orange spoke too soon before, but I suspect that America is going to give them a slap.

The latest videos, stories and deaths/missing suggest there may be over 20,000 dead.

Doctors treating the wounded arrested. 

They're going to get a tap aren't they?

I have been watching some guys who follow all things military and they have been saying for a few weeks that assets have been moving towards the middle east. Diego Garcia has been heavily involved which would explain the orange idiots outburst.

The UK have also moved but let's be honest we are small fry in comparison.

Not sure if/what/when things happen though.

Some outlets are now reporting  that’s deaths are approaching 40k,  that’s almost on a par with Palestine in the space of a few weeks. I guess that’s what the Iranian lady was alluding to when she mentioned the left are pretty quiet on this.

Yep I heard similar 

absolutely horrific 

No guarantee that an equally abhorrent regime doesn’t rise up if this one is abolished

The West aren’t allies with Iran though. Neither have we been selling them weapons. We know what Iran are & impose sanctions on them. The argument with Israel is that if they want western support & allies then they should stop massacring innocents, taking land & denying sovereignty. Hopefully under a different US government more pressure will be applied on their extremist government. 

 People aren’t going to suddenly take to the streets every Saturday for Iran - because there’s not loads more our government can do, short of military action.

 It’s a very odd comparison for me to expect the same. & then suggest folk are being silent because they’re not protesting. 

And she was also talking out her arse because people & politicians on the left haven’t been silent 😄 Governments on the left have been sanctioning & criticising the regime for decades. And you can find plenty of ‘ leftists’ who’ve criticised Iran and continue to do so.

Let’s not forget Those on the left were out in their 1000s demonstrating 48hrs after Hamas carried out their attack. Look at high profiles lefties, Jeremy Corbyn is a good example, day in day out, Gaza this Palestine that, I think he’s made 1 or 2 posts about Iran, this is a similar theme for many like him.

Who gives a fuck about what the far left knobs like Corbyn think though? 

Most normal people think the mass extinction of normal people no matter where it takes place is abhorrent.

It’s pretty straight forward. Where’s the protests, as the lady said? Where are all the professional protestors that we see for other events/people?

He's not.

You sent a video where a lady very clearly generalised about the whole left. She wasn't being specific and her point came across as nonsense.  

Now you're trying to claim again that she had a point by talking about far lefties like Corbyn. But even the likes of Corbyn have been critical of Iran - https://jeremycorbyn.org.uk/religious-freedom-and-womens-rights-in-iran/

Fwiw - if she was talking about some on the far left, then maybe she would have a point. But as soon as she started generalising in that way, it just came across as bollocks. 

Especially as many on the left have been trying to put pressure on the regime.
