Is there anything you could take ~ ~ To harmlessly foam at the mouth and scream that you only came to pick fruit ( Keelings reference ) in an Eastern European accent ? ! 😲 :D

I am only 15 minutes in to this. About Carney in Canada / How what happens in Canada with Carney is pertinent to the UK / The West ( Obviously Ireland as well )

It goes to show~ ~ The Western Elites looked at how the Chinese Communist Elites done things, and said = = That's Looks Great for Us ( i.e. The Western Elites ) = = This explains, so much of what has been going on in, Ireland / The West ! !

All Jambo's letters
They tell me he's beside me now
Then why do I feel so alone?
And Jambo was travelling down this mountainside
To dry his eyelids in the rain

So so long Jambo
It's time that we began
To laugh and cry
And cry and laugh about it all again.

As the site alco is running the moderator on the world war three thread I'll just post this here..

Iran accuses Israel of trying to spoil nuclear deal with US​

Nobody can deny Tehran the right to have a peaceful nuclear program, according to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi

Israel is trying to prevent Tehran from reaching a nuclear deal with the US, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in his first press conference since the escalation between the Islamic Republic and the Jewish state on Friday.
The sixth round of talks between Washington and Tehran, which had been scheduled to take place in Oman on June 15, was canceled after Israel launched airstrikes against Iran on Friday in what the Islamic Republic has called a declaration of war.
Iran responded by launching multiple volleys of ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, including the country’s largest city, Tel Aviv.
The countries continued to exchange strikes overnight and during the day on Sunday, with Israel attacking Iran’s energy infrastructure and what it called sites “related to the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons project.” Tehran fired more missiles at targets in Israel, including near Haifa and Tel Aviv; at least 10 people were reportedly killed and around 200 wounded in those attacks.

In his comments on Saturday, Araghchi reiterated that the Iranian authorities maintain a “firm conviction not to possess a nuclear weapon.”
However, he noted that “those who are willing to deprive Iran of our right to possess the nuclear program for peaceful purposes, they have no right to do so.”
“This is a crystal-clear matter. The Zionist entity [Israel] is not willing to see us reaching an agreement or a diplomatic solution with the US,”
the minister said.
According to Araghchi, a breakthrough could have well happened during the canceled talks between Tehran and Washington.
“The previous round of talks, the Americans presented a number of proposals, which were not totally acceptable to us. We presented our response and our viewpoints, and we were supposed to present a counter-proposal. Our proposal could have opened doors for an all-out agreement with the Americans,” he claimed.

Earlier on Sunday, US President Donald Trump insisted that Washington “had nothing to do” with the attack on the Islamic Republic and urged Tehran to return to diplomacy, saying that “we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict.”
The Iranian foreign minister said that Tehran does not believe the US claims that it wasn’t involved in the Israeli aggression. “We have evidence to the contrary,” he stressed.

Israel asked US to join Iran attack – Axios​

West Jerusalem has requested assistance targeting the Fordow nuclear site, according to the outlet

West Jerusalem has asked the White House to take part in its military campaign against Iran in order to eliminate Tehran’s nuclear program, according to two Israeli officials cited by Axios.

Several above-ground facilities in Iran, including sites in Natanz and Esfahan, were destroyed in recent Israeli strikes, according to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Grossi.

Israel described the operation as a preemptive move to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon – Iran has consistently denied that it has any intention to do so.

Grossi said the Iranian government had also informed him that the Fordow enrichment plant near the city of Qom, a heavily fortified site built deep inside a mountain, was targeted, but there are no indications that the site sustained significant damage.

According to Axios, Israel lacks the bunker-busting bombs and long-range bomber aircraft required to destroy Fordow. The US, however, possesses both and operates forces within range of Iran.

Israeli officials reportedly believe that if Fordow remains operational after the operation ends, West Jerusalem’s mission to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program will have failed.

An Israeli official told Axios the US might participate in the campaign and said President Donald Trump had indicated during a recent call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he would consider it “if necessary.” The White House has denied this claim.

A second American official confirmed that Israel had requested US involvement but said the Trump administration is not considering it.
Washington has reportedly distanced itself from the operation, while warning that even a limited strike could draw the US into the war. White House officials have argued that it would be illegitimate for Iran to retaliate against American forces.

A senior US official told the outlet that while the Israeli attacks could not be prevented, a peaceful resolution remains possible. “We have the ability to negotiate a successful, peaceful resolution to this conflict if Iran is willing,” the source said. “The fastest way for Iran to accomplish peace is to give up its nuclear weapons program.”

Nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington began in April, with Trump warning of military consequences if diplomacy failed.

On Saturday, Tehran cancelled a sixth round of negotiations scheduled in Oman. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said talks would not resume until Israeli strikes come to an end.

Earlier on Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart held a 50-minute phone call to discuss the situation in the Middle East. The two leaders reportedly agreed on the possibility of restarting negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

Is it really necessary for you to copy paste rt articles, rather than just give the link?

We get it, besides stalk-abuse-slander (and general stupidity) you have nothing to say

Have you considered stamp collecting as an alternative hobby, old man? 🤔

So did Israel go off at half cock thinking that the US would join in with the stuff they don't have in their own arsenal? Bit of a miscalculation there in Tel Aviv, perhaps they are not quite as bright as they would have us believe and now they have got themselves in something of a pickle if Iran does indeed posses more more missiles than they have air defences.

Again....

British gay couple charged with rape and murder of baby they wanted to adopt​

The 13-month-old boy, whom the pair had not finished adopting, died in 2023

British secondary school teacher Jamie Varley has been charged with the murder and sexual assault of a 13-month-old boy that he and his boyfriend John McGowan-Fazakerley were in the process of adopting.
The couple appeared in Preston Crown Court on Monday, nearly two years after the baby boy, Preston Davey, was pronounced dead at Blackpool Victoria Hospital in 2023. Both defendants were initially arrested, but later released on bail.
Lancashire Police later re-arrested and charged Varley with a slew of offenses including murder, two counts of assault by penetration of a male child under 13 and five counts of child cruelty. He also stands accused of multiple counts of taking indecent photographs, distributing an image and possession of an extreme pornographic image of the victim, as well as other offenses.
His co-defendant McGowan-Fazakerley has been charged with causing and allowing the death of a child, sexual assault of a child, and two counts of cruelty to a child, the police said.
The authorities noted that all of the charges were related to the 13-month-old victim.

Judge Robert Altham, who presided at Monday’s brief hearing, set the trial date for April 14, 2026. Both defendants were remanded into custody and will remain in prison awaiting a plea hearing in October, according to local daily The Blackpool Gazette.
The judge noted that while he regretted the delay, it would ensure that all expert witnesses were ready for future proceedings, the newspaper wrote on Monday.
Varley has been suspended from work since 2023, according to the Cidari Multi Academy Trust, which now runs the school where he was employed at the time of the alleged crime. “He has not been permitted onto, or attended school premises, or been permitted to contact pupils or colleagues,” the organization told the Blackpool Gazette in a statement.
The trust is reportedly “considering its position in relation” to Varley’s employment. “Jamie was suspended on full pay as we are legally obliged to do,” Cidari told the local newspaper when asked whether Varley has been receiving a salary since his 2023 arrest.
