Restore Croydon

Message to all those who fret about the economy because of the war against Iran: There is always a price for security. If economies were the only thing that mattered we would have surrendered to Hitler. We didn’t. We fought at great cost in lives and money to preserve our way of life. People who cite the economy as a price not worth paying understand the value of nothing. It is that lazy weak thinking which allowed mass migration. And to those who say it’s not our war: The regime in Iran has caused mayhem throughout the Middle East for decades. Our allies have been attacked. Cyprus was attacked. Diego Garcia was attacked. Yet pathetic weak British politicians want to take the easy route. Some fights are absolutely necessary. The war against the mullahs is one such fight. Grow a backbone.

According to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U.S. officials, Iran has targeted the joint U.S.-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM). According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a U.S. destroyer utilizing an SM-3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base. This is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having the range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper.

This is the biggest reform to our Parliament in a generation. 🇬🇧 This morning, the 700-year-old system of hereditary membership in the House of Lords was abolished. Membership is now earned through public service and merit, not granted by an inheritance. ✅
