@Eyeswideopen69 Dox ing a politician while hiding your identify is pure irony

Rupert Myers is a barrister at East Anglian Chambers.
Here is the senior clerk contact info for complaints if you object to his online behaviour in their name.

He provides his employer in his bio and has not dissociated himself from them in any way.

@patmcfaddenmp Still full of lackeys on the gravy train.
Make it elected no other solution

Reform of the House of Lords is not easy.
Too many times the idea of the perfect reform has been used to defeat the worthwhile reform.
This time Labour promised to focus on the specific issue of removing the hereditary peers, and we have done it.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes bbc.in/4seAibO

Agreed. But nor should you deserve a vote because you’ve been a second/third-rate cabinet minister but greased up enough to a prime minister for him/her to send you to an unelected parliamentary chamber to do their bidding and live out your twilight years in comfort and status, lording it over the rest of us who had no say in your choice. No more democratic than hereditary.

Hereditary peers out of the Lords at long long last - delivering the rather simple principle that you don’t deserve a vote in Parliament by virtue of which family your were born into gov.uk/government/new…

@DrChrisParry @RoyalAirForce @BritishArmy It rewinds to over ambition.
If you consider the point of those two carriers?
To project force by air we have tankers and bases.
They suck the money and manpower out of the rest of the navy.
Serve no actual useful purpose.
Because if them we can't afford enough surface fleet

So a Prime Minister fails to anticipate the need to send a Type 45 destroyer to defend Cyprus, based on whose military advice?
A CDS who is an @RoyalAirForce officer and a PJHQ led by a @BritishArmy officer?
Has the Joint model failed here?

@AshleyMcdonn True but they've supported across sects, Shia, Sunni and all points in between

@OldResidents The Iranian Revolution reshaped the region, yes — but modern terrorism can’t be pinned on Iran alone. Groups like al-Qaeda emerged from different ideological and geopolitical roots. History is more complex than a single cause.

I’m a landlord. It’s a tough business. I had a tenant, Mr. Alvarez. Never late on rent for 5 years. Then, the checks stopped. I went to his apartment. He didn’t open the door. I used my key. The apartment was empty. No furniture. Just a mattress on the floor and Mr. Alvarez sitting on it. “I’m sorry,” he said, looking down. “My wife got sick. The medication… I sold everything. I’ll leave today.” I looked at the empty room. I went to my truck. I grabbed my tools. “I’m not kicking you out,” I said. “But I am raising the rent.” He looked terrified. “I’m raising it to $0 for the next six months.” He started to cry. “And,” I added, “I’ve got an extra sofa in storage. And a table. Let’s get this place looking like a home again.” That was three years ago. His wife recovered. He’s back on his feet. He insists on paying me double rent now to "pay back the debt." I put the extra money into a fund for other tenants who struggle. A roof over someone’s head is a business. Keeping a roof over their head when they’re drowning? That’s a duty.

Good historical information. I've never been to the Middle East but my dad worked on many of the oil and gas projects especially in Libya. My understanding of the difference between Arabs and Persians was formed because I have a friend whose father was an Iranian test pilot on the F4 purchase. He married an American and all of their kids but one was born in Iran. Most of their family got out before 1979.

I am not a jingoist by any stretch of the word. Moreover, my daughter is on the USS Lincoln as we speak. I have skin in this game.
I have read (and heard) a lot of BS about whether or not we should be in Iran.
Let me be clear... I've been a SME on Iran for 25÷ years. I speak Persian Farsi, Dari, Balochi, and Tajik. I've been to Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and yes... Iran. There are few who know Iran as "intimately" as I do.
The reasons for this war are nuanced and complicated, but one thing is clear as day... the Iranian people (by and large) are good people and they just want to have the same liberty and freedom we have. Their women and girls want to be able to go out into public without having to fear if they'll be arrested and beaten (or even killed) by the "Virtue Police".
If you cannot see that, and you cannot support the liberation of a people that have been brutally oppressed for 47+ years... then you have no humanity and you and I are not the same.
Our past with Iran is not a good one (Operation Ajax or Iran Contra)... but a vast majority of the Iranians (and Americans) today have no idea why the relationship between our two countries soured in the first place. A vast majority of Iranians have only ever known abject tyranny and Islamic brutally... they love America.
I will not debate this with anyone.
Either get on team America and support the liberation of a brutalized people... or STFU and continue to wallow in your miserable hypocrisy and enjoy freedom you never had to earn or fight for.
God Bless America.
God Bless our Men and Women in Uniform.
I said what I said.

@ZackPolanski Changed your tune - you wanted action against the Ayatollah a while back

@HFalconerMP There is no two state solution because HAMAS/PA have never wanted it.

You don’t have to like Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to think there’s something off about his treatment. He has been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion without facing a single day before a court of law. This is not justice, says Luke Gittos

@darrenpjones Your only doing this to gain votes from certain parts if the electorate.
Another nail in your coffin ;)
