"Suzanne Vega - The Queen and the Soldier"

- The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
- He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"
- The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
- And slowly she let him inside

- Out in the distance her order was heard
- And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
- And while the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred
- The battle continued on

"Do we now trust the Iranian regime more than Trump?"

-> "Traders bet half a billion dollars ​on the price of crude only 15 minutes before U.S. President Donald Trump announced a five-day delay to attacks ‌on Iran's energy infrastructure that sent the market plunging, according to Reuters."

James O’Brien called Trump a “ludicrous mentard” on his LBC show this morning, which I think just about covers it.

" 'Trump's actions are absurd but have real consequences' "

-> "[..] breaks down the recent chaos of Donald Trump's 'excursion' in to Iran - “we don’t need help… but we do need help.” "
-> "It comes as Trump says the US and Iran have held talks on the "complete and total resolution of hostilities" [..]."
-> "He says that, as a result of the talks, he has postponed threatened strikes on Iranian power plants - oil and gas prices fall immediately."

" 'The absolute irony!' James O'Brien on coverage of Trump's attacks on the BBC"

-> "James O'Brien reckons he's spied some irony in the Telegraph's coverage of Donald Trump's attacks on the BBC... What do you think?"
