'Wants'... 'transition'? Err, it's up to the Iranian people what they want. If they want real change, from the theocracy they themselves brought into power, then they'll need to be prepared to shed lots more blood. Foreign intervention will lead to a military dictatorship and Iraqi style chaos.

You go to A&E. After an hour, a nurse takes a history. After 6 hours a doc takes a history, orders some tests. 6 hours later a new doc (after a shift handover) takes another history, then goes off to look at tests, sit with other doctors at a station, plotting their move to Australia. Days can go by

Most people I meet in my local working-class sauna call it 'Ingerlund'... which is a quite sweet and unconscious tribute to their own multi-ethnic, European roots.

In 2026, you treat the Trump administration (not America) in the same way as you would Putin. You appeal to more sensible heads in their military, reassure them, but start making plans for an America-free Europe. A continent of 500 million plus people who live in very different times.

It's not just an ICE problem. It's a gun problem. I remember a British tourist shot by police because he didn't know the protocol when pulled over. He lived. I nearly made the same mistake when a cop pulled up as I was sleeping in a hire car. I stepped out and he pointed his gun at me? Lunatic place

It's a moment that requires unselfish, courageous, competent and thoughtful political leaders to be in charge in the west and the middle east. With the smarts to prevent escalation to a wider regional configuration. Oh...

Iran is many different ethnic groups, with many external actors constantly interfering in the country. As if regime change has ever a great success? WTF is the Independent on!?

There are 11 U.S airbases on UK soil. If our government doesn't stop fuel supplies, power and all access to them... they are 'helping'. Never going to happen, so a pointless statement. Article 5 will require remaining NATO members to defend Greenland/Denmark. Starmer will secretly help the U.S.
