Public opinion shows overwhelming support for Iran and condemnation of Israeli military actions, particularly in Gaza. Many commenters express anger towards Israel for its perceived aggression and emphasize a desire for peace amidst the violence, reflecting sympathy for affected civilians.

Iran

Israel

The fact terrorists or hostile forces can walk onto a military base and sabotage planes is very worrying.

The fact they made it to the planes without being shot is extremely concerning.

This is just what happens when you start to take things for granted. In the UK we are several generations removed from anyone who actually had to fight for the freedoms that we now take for granted and seem determined to allow people to give them away.

And now the rest of us have to live in a country with supporters of terrorist groups waving flags every day

The scary thing, and what I'm assuming people will get a kicking for this morning, is how easy they got in.

We can always simply ignore these protestors no matter the flag they carry, because they change their cause more often than they change their underwear and use deodorant. They are just serial or career protestors who just want a socialist revolution and are just latching onto whatever topic they want to bring it about.

But to even get on the other side of the fence without being riddled with speed holes and ripped apart by dogs is a grave fuck up. Noone should be able to get in there without permission and expect to have their heart still beating by the time their feet hit the floor.

Odd_Comparison_1462

If they are dual citizens they should be deported, and an example should be made out of these people with  harsh sentences. If it came to real war this implies that Russia could pay some treasonous imbeciles £10000 each and completely gut our air force without a single shot fired.

I think we in the west have massive sleeper cells like this.

I'm curious to see the outcome bc if they can charge people under domestic terrorism for FB posts I'd love to see what charges these folks are going to be given.

ImActivelyTired

I always assumed you just get shot on sight if you breach a military base.

negotiatethatcorner

You won't make the situation any better if you look at this through the lense, "they are the enemy", and we're the "good, civilized West", that ship has long since sailed.

What stops the protests, division and eventually more war is de-escalating the fake moral superioty that politicians like Starmer and Kallas have and making agreements with countries you consider a rival.

Hold your friends close, hold your enemies closer. That's how you get peace and stability. 

In cases of clearly-linked sabotage, of course it should be investigated and the people jailed for treason. However it should never devolve into witch-hunts and a disregard of people's rights. That's how you end up loosing everything. 

In cases of media interference and foreign financing of the opposition, there is the "foreign agents act" countries like US already have. Every EU country should do their best to ensure their information sphere is free from interference, as it's one of the most important aspect of a democracy.

Israel will keeping up with their actions, it wont help them.

Between this and the refusal of the civil servants to do their jobs tells us there is a country within a country and they are at odds with each other.

Bro... Brits elected labor like...? What are you even talking about? The only people that are going to get "the book" thrown at them are tweeter posters.

When there is a government by the people, of the people and for the people. 

Basically, never.

klepto_entropoid

Heroes, slowing down the UK’s bullshit surveillance and compliance in the genocide.

The gloves are off, the west is calling it unacceptable for a hospital to be damaged by Iran, after Israel bombed 36 in Gaza and more in other ME countries. 

Netanyahu’s balls are sat firmly on the chins of western politicians, sounds like you guys want it too.

Ok-Sir-5932

Ok but why should the UK use planes against Iran? Last I checked the UK isn't at war with Iran.

Rightricket

The only people that are eventually going to prison for treason are the ones who care so much about a foreign country that they’re willing to drag the rest of us into an illegal and aggressive war.

Eventually we need to use their data to put these traitors behind bars.

Molotovs_Mocktails

I hope they are all made an example of. Domestic terrorism is a serious matter.

According_Cup606

Because they're not committing treason, no matter how much you may dislike their aims. At worst, criminal damage and trespass.

That's the price we pay for living in a free society, I'm  afraid. Niemoller refers.

Those activists sounds like hero’s, I hope they don’t have too many issues.

isthisthingwork

Clearly an Israeli is upset some Ppl aren't happy their country elite is supporting a genocide militarily.

MechanicalAltTab

They won’t face any consequences because the government is currently supporting a genocidal regime. These activist’s defence will be that they are upholding international law and preventing violation of human rights abuses, including mass murder. 


Unfortunately, our goverment can’t defend itself against that because they are violating international law. It’s the same reason these activist never really get convicted when they target the Israeli weapons company Elbit systems. They can’t defend their actions.

I think at most they might convict them on trespassing.

Glum-County7218

The fact that any one of ya inbred britwits are scared of Iran and supportive of your governments actions to help and provide cover for Israel is all I need to know. The UK is drying island, a dying state. Have fun flailing about before it’s completely belly up. Inbreed some more, why don’t ya?

Bubbly-Money-7157

Maybe the RAF shouldn't be aiding Israel's genocide...

If you read the article, the takeaway is that companies don’t need as many employees and are being more efficient. That’s not bearish, at least not in short term

KDsburner_account

Friday ain't looking good. Also futures ain't looking good..

Easy_Profession8992

LOL Layoffs are generally bullish. If they're just trimming fat or don't need employees, this is good for companies. Spotify did this and Meta and others. It's only bad if the company is actually struggling imo.

It’s gonna take hard data showing this, J pow just said yesterday the labor market isn’t an issue right now

Oh Boy!  The unemployment numbers are gonna LOVE this.

VendaGoat

Some of the remaining employees will work harder out of their own anxiety issues, but the rest will be quiet quitting.

sniffstink1

These problems are long term. Way too many people think that nothing happening within a single news cycle or a single month at most means that nothing will ever happen.

Still waiting.

Investors love layoffs but unemployment going up and all the associated problems with people’s debt and the economy will really circle round and screw the market down the line. Tick tock

Monday? How’s August? What about 2030? Give me a break! The Donald will post a dozen times and change direction or contradict himself at least 3 times by Monday close of market. AI is a “possible” but very few companies have met with success on using AI to replace conventional employees. I’ve seen more companies that had to backpedal to conventional customer service than success stories. True AI still takes a great deal of computing power, one that is not readily available to them. Requirements include new hardware, new facilities and therefore new career fields will likely open up. 

In the late 80’s-early 90’s, experts were forecasting decreasing workforces due to the growth of the PC market. Instead it spawned increased productivity and multiple new growth industries with a growing labor market. 

Doomsday sayers again said the internet would disrupt the economy, but instead it created entirely new industries. 

There’s been war in the Middle East as long as there have been people to record it in writing. So far, I’ve seen nothing new. Bomb, don’t bomb! It will NOT have any dramatic effect on Wall Street or the US markets overall. 

FYI… war stimulates economies! There are multiple examples of this over the last 75 years.

Spankynpetey

This article is about big companies needing less people to do the same work due to AI. How the fuck is that not good?

DOE_ZELF_NORMAAL

Looking at the historical data as far back as I think is relevant, for a continued small but sustained increase in layoffs, they all eventually go exponential and trigger a recession. 

I’m not going to bet that this time is somehow special, but do whatever you want. 

Due-Tea3607

Yeah I think the vix is going start an uptrend ect..Powell def freaked the market out. They didn’t digest it at the time I feel but it is coming. It’s so obvious to me he needs to cut to get ahead of this.

HunterRountree

Maybe the crypto exchange wasn’t hacked. They just handed the keys so everything can be “stolen”, sold and transferred to buy Trump’s meme coin. 

Iran paid protection money and bought two weeks.

eclipse007

Iran is scrambling to stop the war because they know they’re going down fast. Even they weren’t prepared, their own lies, fed back and forth between officials, created a false sense of strength built on bluffs and self-deception.

Now, they’re just holding on for dear life.

Iran got 2 weeks to offer prime real estate for Trump Tower Tehran.

notanyimbecile

Trumps Allegiance to Israel in conflict with his constant subservience to Putin. Israel wants to bomb Iran, Putin wants to protect it. Not surprised to see him at such a stalemate.

Ocluist

Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated significantly, with both sides engaged in a fierce exchange of missile strikes for over a week. Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir warned of a 'prolonged campaign' against Iran as Iran retaliated with missiles targeting Israel, including civilian areas.
