Trump says the UK's 2 aircraft carriers are 'toys'. The #RoyalNavy is squawking. So are the navy's fans, e.g. #Torygraph.

But #Trump is mostly right. The QEII carriers have had 3 big problems: they dont work, have no planes, and no escorts.

Now they sometimes work, have a few planes, and rely on American #CarrierBattleGroups. But it's all half-arsed.

These carriers are not really a military project. They are #pork, built by #GordonBrown to create jobs in Scotland, and enthuse #flagshaggers.

The #dourscot opines on #warcrimes in the #IranWar. As I recall he was very quiet about them during the #IraqWar which his government started in concert with the US. Lies and War Crimes go together in all wars these days it seems. Lies to start them. Lies during them. Lies afterwards forever and ever. Culpability for #warcrimes is seems lost in all these lies. How about some self-reflection #GordonBrown? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/12/children-killed-school-graveyard-wartime-iran?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Children killed, a school turned into a graveyard: even in wartime, we can’t accept this

There are rules and world leaders must insist they be honoured in practice and in spirit. After this atrocity in Iran, a more effective tribunal for crimes against children is essential, says former prime minister Gordon Brown
