Farage wanting the UK to follow the US in attacking Iran and "praying" for the "wonderful Persian people".

 

Wonderful enough that you'd like some more of them in the UK voting in elections, Nigel? Given the events of this week, assuming probably not?

Scary that our version of trump will be our ruler in 3 years

I really hope she and her colleagues are ok and a genuine thanks for the painful reminder that making light of appalling situations online is always a bad idea.

Thank you for that, and no worries- sometimes very dark humour is a good coping mechanism. I'm sure everything is fine, there's nothing I can do other than wait to hear what's going on anyway.

Whilst FoxesTalk gossip is usually rock solid, '"Dubai Airport blown to smithereens" may have been a tad much. Still, you never know what might happen over the next few days

This wouldn't be the first Iranian leader the Americans have taken it upon themselves to off, unfortunately.

Confirmed by Iran media now

 

Khamenei was killed in the early hours of Saturday

Iran’s Fars news agency has more details on the supreme leader’s killing.

 

It says Khamenei was killed at his office while “performing his assigned duties” in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Didn’t the strikes start at 6:30 GMT, not the early hours?

Given they've been on the end of Iranian drones and missiles sold to Russia for years now, I can't blame them celebrating his death.

Which would be early hours US time 

[Lionator]

Killing or kidnapping bad people then having absolutely no plan as to what happens next is classic Trump. Again I predict that nothing will actually change.

For someone who says he has never met him or been involved with him he seems to go to some crazy lengths to not have to speak about it or release as little as possible after campaigning on it.

any normal organisation would take the World Cup away from America with all that going on , shame fifa isn’t a normal organisation.

be very surprised if nothing major happened there while it was going on
