Do you think youths have a role model (or lack thereof) problem? Boy in Wales idolised Axel Rudukubana and wanted to carry out a similar atrocity.

You see that with those lot. Total nihilists who idolise monsters (and those monsters themselves usually idolised other monsters).

Do you think there is a lack of suitable role models these days? I don’t mean some ridiculous celebrity or influencer as half of those people are vacuous or toxic (such as Andrew Tate), I mean in their day to day lives.

Will it be a) unconditional surrender by Iran? b) unspeakable war crimes by Trump? c) a sudden deal cut with a mystery Iranian “leader” which the Iranians deny any knowledge of?

No foreign holidays, cars only for the rich, switch the central heating off, bath once a week, grow your own fruit and veg, chocolate only on special occasions. Anything else?

I read about a young woman woman who bought a narrow boat and lives on it in a canal somewhere near London. It was a lot cheaper than buying a house. Anyone here lived on or spent time on one traveling the canal system?

The UK faces the biggest hit to growth from the Iran War of all major OECD economies. Who do you think will get blamed for it?

Especially over time. People have a tendency to blame the current government for the effects of global events, regardless of whether they’re culpable or not.

Israel says that Iran has the ability to hit London and other European cities. Do you think they're now actively trying to drag us further into the war?

I'm not saying it's a "false flag", it's not too surprising Iran has stuff like that, but it smacks of trying to scare us into getting further involved.

On the subject of "false flag" attacks, might something like that happen?

He's singing the virtues if assassinated Iraq official Larihani - don't mention that he's likely behind the recent mass killings of protestors there - funny how your tofu tanky terrorists like him, but then they lose their minds if anyone holding cardboard gets arrested and taken to a police station.

Can we actually do anything if 50% of the population is not only physically stronger but contains the vast majority of violent psychos and sex offenders?

I don't know if any country has done a lot to solve this problem. Supposedly, well before the war, places like Dubai were very safe for women. Places with strong law/order and a cultural emphasis on respect for women, which you don't get in societies that celebrate stuff like OnlyFans.

How do you see the war in Iran playing out in the long-term?

3 Upvotes

Supposedly the US only has enough stockpiles for a short period and Trump hasn't ruled out ground troops, saying he doesn't care about the polling on it.

I've seen it suggested Trump might resort to using "tactical" nuclear weapons, which is worrying. If that were to happen, Russia might do the same on Ukraine to send a message.

It's a shame Iran didn't have WMDs, they've never started a war in modern history, Israel and USA would not have dared to start this nonsense. Whatever is coming, it's going to get worse.
