Think Nigel, Kemi, and the Daily Mail might have backed the wrong horse here.
Opposition to the United States' military action against Iran has risen by 10pts among Britons over the last week
Support: 25% (-3 from 2 March)
Oppose: 59% (+10)

Spare me your faux outrage
Explosive device thrown at Mamdami's house by GlasgowBlue 9 Mar 9:44Sorry but Starmer was right. As is Labour MP David Taylor.

Here is Mothin Ali alongside the regime flag
https://x.com/torywipeout/status/2028954987955380230?s=61&t=yiWSzFFaPvZs8B40P8xPOQ
And they are trashing the pre revolution flag.

And whilst it is appalling that Ali is receiving death threats, perhaps he will reflect on the campaign of hate he led against Rabbi Zecharia Deutsch, a Leeds University chaplain who served as a reservist in the IDF, which resulted in him and his family being forced into hiding, moving to a secret location on police advice in February 2024.

Taylor's word against Ali's really.
Not the water tight case your characteristic selective Internet trawl states it is.
No one is denying some pro Iranian propaganda was present.
Is it a lie that it was organised by the stop the war coalition and CND?
And Starmer's first statement post bi election loss was to trash the Greens as dangerous extremists when a bit of humility was needed. | | | |

Oh I don’t know. We have HMS Rusting Tub still hanging about while they find a plug for it and a few oars.
HMS Victory is still on the inventory.. Why not send that once they’ve finished lunch? They could sail it round as a show of support with Sir Kier on the Quarterdeck saluting in a free sailor suit if he’s not too busy. [Post edited 10 Mar 7:38]

This comment from a reader on the Guardian made me laugh.
I was reading that article about why it's taking so long to get that destroyer ready and deployed to Cyprus when in the second half, after a long list of really weak excuses I saw the magic word 'Serco' and it all made sense. Not only is the British government so hollowed out that it has to rely on contractors to run things (and rip us all off) but the military is as well. It's just so pathetic that the Royal Navy has to use a private company to run its docks. What a state this country is in. |  | | |

I gather they are trying to poke the old RFA Lyme Bay into life. It was left to rust in peace at Gibraltar at the end of last year. Reason? Budget restrictions - cuts to use an honest word.
Why bother? The government has already proved it’s not interested in defending this country let alone interests abroad.
As for using rubbish companies like Serco I’ve no doubt the idiots that signed that contract off (last government presumably) had it made worth their while to do so. You know, a little ‘Christmas Box’, a nice lunch (just as BT gave Cameron and his charlatans to get the Brightwell Lakes decision overturned), a little brown envelope or two to sweeten the deal.
The irony from the military perspective is that there is a track record of failure going back 100s of years if you turf everything over to the private sector. Working in partnership can be very successful, providing the guidelines are strict - eg building Castle Bromwich in WW2 as well as the partnership with Lockheed to produce the Hudson and Ventura and North American to build the magnificent P51 Mustang.
But ‘over to you Claude’ purely on the basis of money saving has always been catastrophic. If you go back to Pepys time (17c) supplies to the navy on everything from salt beef to ropes had to be done ‘in house’ (broad arrow mark etc) simply because private supplies who’d provide the least for the most money. Barrels of beef would contain bones, gristle, fat and offal, not beef, water would be brackish (old), gun barrels would burst and timber would be green rubbish without controls.
It comes down to private companies have a duty to maximise profit. Serco are doing just that. Literally anything goes. We are witnessing repeated failure to learn lessons and ignore what’s in front of them.

I'm not sure anyone is suggesting you have to go that far Benters, but it is a little disingenuous to only make reference to the English people who have taken part in armed conflict.

Oh, the Romans. Fascinating choice of defence.
The Romans who crucified thousands along the Appian Way as a warning. The Romans who razed Carthage to rubble and salted the earth. The Romans whose entire economic model was built on slavery so absolute it makes uncomfortable reading even now. That Rome. Yes, let’s be like them.
But let’s address the central claim directly.
Better for whom, exactly? Better for the Lancashire mill owners who grew obscenely wealthy while Indian textile industries were deliberately destroyed?
Better for the Belgian Congo, where rubber quotas were enforced by amputating the hands of children?
Better for the Australian Aboriginal peoples whose population was decimated, whose children were stolen by state policy for generations, whose land was declared empty by legal fiction?
“We made it better” is the oldest and most self-serving justification in the imperial playbook. Every occupying power in history has said it. Every single one. The Spanish said it in the Americas. The French said it in Algeria. It is what people say when they want the credit without the reckoning.
Railways are usually the next line of argument, so let’s pre-empt it. Infrastructure built to extract resources for the coloniser’s benefit is not a gift. It is a supply chain.
The truly staggering thing isn’t the original statement. It’s that in 2026, with everything that has been documented, researched and evidenced, someone can still reach for “we made things better” as though it is an argument rather than an epitaph for critical thought.
Rome fell. Empires always do. What they leave behind is rarely gratitude. |

Interesting, as always, from a historical point of view.
I've managed to track down the source of the claim about Serco, and it's the Prospect union.

There's also this more generally.
