>The UK has agreed to a US request to use British military bases for “defensive” strikes on Iranian missile sites, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

I’m tired boss.

You can always count on the British to appease the Americans

I’m not seeing the problem?
Iran attacked a British base.

Its worth noting that this is after Iran has targetted UK bases. Say what you like but no government is going to let another country attack them and not do something about it.

Just apply for statehood already Keir. If you’re already their puppet might as well get voting rights

Good.
So many Iranians want Western help. They would be glad to shrug off an evil dictatorship which has killed enormous numbers of Iranians.
Although you’d never have guessed from the little protest in London, attended by the deputy boss of the Green party – and Corbyn. Protesting in defence of the mullahs, not the oppressed masses.

This is after Iran bombed us. That seems entirely reasonable.

Keir Starmer is the lamest duck I’ve ever seen

hey, look, it is the united slaves of israel again at work!
It’s a thoughtful and measured response to Iran’s escalation against uninvolved countries. So people here are gonna lose their minds

So much for banning US forces…

The amount of Iran apologists here is crazy. Iran bombed a bunched on countries not involved (some of straight up friendly to Iran, like Qatar), it hit a French base, it hit a british base.. INSIDE AN EU COUNTRY.
Fuck the genocidal islamofascist freaks in Iran and all the people running interference for them.

Confirmed: the UK is just as screwed up as the US. Two screwed up brothers of countries. Morons.
