UK prime minister granted US the permission to use their air bases for: ”Limited defensive opetations”.
Immediately B-52 and B-2 bombers landed there.
… sure, trust me bro, these devices purpose-built for carpet-bombing, will kill Iranian civilians entirely defensively!

#OnThisDay, 10 Mar 1914, suffragette Mary Richardson attacks, with a meat cleaver, Velázquez's painting of Venus in the National Gallery in London in protest at the treatment of Emmeline Pankhurst.

“This broad amendment takes power away from [UK] parliament and Ofcom and hands it to ministers. The consequence of this would be every adult having to provide their personal data, or use their body and biometric features as a key to unlock the Internet."

Well, well, well... web searches for 'Epstein Files' have significantly fallen over the ten days since the US & Israel launched their attack on Iran.
Of course, only a cynic would regard this as an intended outcome from the Tangerine Tyrant's willingness to go to war.... I mean why would anyone think that?
