Already commented on this, but thought of some more:

Isley Brothers: Ohio/Machine Gun - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC6qOvfgDJI (this is a cover of 2 tunes, the first by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, the second by Jimi Hendrix)

And just released today (like, 2 hours ago) - Massive Attack, Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-57FrioeuE

Ah yeah, that would have been a better choice actually, good shout.

A few suggestions:

• Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall
• RATM - Bulls on Parade
• Dead Kennedys - Kill the Poor

And for a more optimistic, but still defiant take, R.E.M.'s Living Well is the Best Revenge.

David Lynch. His death hit me like a punch to the heart.

Also Adam Yauch (MCA).

My country did qualify (Scotland) so I’ll be up for a few VERY late sessions in the pub (our first game kicks off at 2am our time!) 😁🍻😴

Yep. And we’ve managed to draw 2 of the 3 teams we played in that tournament (Brazil and Morocco) - what are the chances?! 🙄

Claaaaaaaaaammmmmmmp!

Clamp!

CLAMP CLAMP CLAMP.

Wow, I think you’re right, I hadn’t even thought of that. Probably saved his life. Blimey.

Amazing. There’s a single frame in which you can actually see the missile just above the road. He was incredibly lucky.

Sadly not! 😁

My client conversations are spread across different messaging platforms, and sometimes important or more detailed discussions just get buried or overlooked.

Yep, I have exactly this problem too. Instructions/feedback are spread across Teams messages, phone calls, video calls, and email, between and across multiple clients.

To bring it all together we tried using Trello - and now instructions/feedback are spread across Teams messages, phone calls, video calls, email and Trello.

It’s basically XKCDMultipleStandards.jpg ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Definitely Grover. I had a brilliant Grover book as a kid, called The Monster at the End of This Book, and I’ve always loved that blue rascal ever since 😁

Yeah, I’ve never heard of it being used to target people with disabilities (although looking it up, I see it can be used that way, TIL) - I’ve only ever thought of it as a judgement on character/behaviour. Like I’d have no issue with anyone describing Trump as a degenerate, because he’s a sick, twisted, vindictive, corrupt prick.

I think this is the exact plot of The Discovery on Netflix. In the film, it leads to a lot of suicide.

As far as I know, American planes didn’t even get to take off from any UK bases.

And now they are to be allowed to do that. FFS.

BBC News - UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, PM says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqj9g11p1ezo

Ok, but other than just making assumptions, we have no evidence that the UK did even that here.

My main point is that OP seems to think that trying defend troops already stationed in the region (whether they should be there or not) counts as being part of this attack. Which it really doesn’t. As far as I know, American planes didn’t even get to take off from any UK bases.

The UK government/military has done plenty of heinous shit over the years, not least Iraq. I’m not pretending otherwise - but on this one, so far, it doesn’t seem like they’ve really done anything.

They haven’t condemned it either, of course, but from what we know so far, it’s simply factually incorrect to say the UK joined in on this particular attack.

I think defense is part of offense

It certainly can be. But it can also just be defence - if they’re sitting there with Iranian missiles heading at them, it’s hardly surprising or unreasonable for them to try and intercept and prevent.

Those are fair questions - but neither of them make it the case that Britain “joined” this attack.

How is that joining with what the US and Israel did?

It’s protecting British personnel from any attacks that may come as a response to the US/Israel action.

But the statement explicitly says “The United Kingdom played no role in these strikes.”

Starmer is also catching criticism from the Conservatives and Reform because the UK hasn’t been involved

On the UK 's response to the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel told the BBC she found it “absolutely astonishing” Sir Keir had not been more proactive in its support.

And from here

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, wrote on X: “The Prime Minister needs to change his mind on the use of our military bases and back the Americans in this vital fight against Iran!”

Meanwhile Emily Thornberry, a senior Labour MP and often critic of Starmer said:

"I am pleased to see the UK is not involved in these strikes on Iran. They are ill-advised and illegal.
