Forsyth House
Since 1851, Forsyth House has stood on the corner of Union Street and Gordon Street in the heart of Glasgow. Its iconic, or was... because on Sunday 8th of March, 2026, a fire broke out in a small, seemingly un-named shop in the building and tore all that history down. As I write, the rubble is still unsettled and the street is still blocked off. Central Station is quiet on the upper level, and around 30 small businesses have quite literally gone up in smoke.

WHY ARAB STATES BEING TARGETED?
It is absolutely clear that they will go after every country that threatens Israel or is considered an existential or security threat to it. The agenda of Washington, D.C. is very clear: they will target every country that threatens Israel, and either destroy it through carpet bombing or erase it, just as they did with Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp Leads Charge on Starmer's Iran War Stance.
The Iran War has to be one of the most dangerous and unnecessary wars this century so far. Trump has changed the narrative of why he and his partner in crime, Netanyahu, attacked Iran. First, it was to liberate the Iranian people. Then Iran's support for Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, etc. Then it's Iran enriching uranium and its ballistic missile programme. Since the war began, the Ayatollah Khamenei has been assassinated along with top military commanders. His son is now the new Ayatollah. A girl's school has been bombed, with 100 or so schoolgirls sent to Allah. Iran's infrastructure has been hit hard, as has its military and government. If they bombed the Founder of the Islamic Republic's mausoleum, Ayatollah Khomeini, it wouldn't surprise me. It seems the Americans and Israelis are hitting anything and everything across Iran. Similar to the levelling of Gaza by the IDF. Hundreds of Iranians have been killed and injured, civilian and military alike.

Doing the Wash
Congress. An entity of our government that is supposed to be working for us, is just a money laundering criminal endeavor. If you aren't paying attention to what our government does, then you are part of the problem.Money laundering is a crime, and we are funding it.

Iran Plunges Into Chaos After Khamenei’s Death
Iran erupted into unprecedented chaos after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed during targeted strikes on Feb. 28. Streets in Tehran filled with protesters, while retaliatory attacks hit U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf and the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. Analysts warn that the violence could escalate into a wider regional crisis.

Labour Minister: We Are Back to The Future.
I have often thought that Russia being bogged down in Ukraine making incremental gains against a stubborn Ukraine defence is similar to when Japan was bogged down in China before the Second World War fighting the Chinese Nationalist forces for little gain. Yes, the Japanese like Russia now made some gains in captured territory. But at a huge cost to both sides like Russia and Ukraine now. In that respect history is repeating itself where another country invades and expects a victory to be in the enemy capital very soon, much like how US forces captured Baghdad in 2003. However, for Japan in China then and for Russia in Ukraine now that didn't/hasn't happened. Both Japan in China then and Russia in Ukraine now ended up in a slog fest with total victory out of sight.

Trump Touts Third Term.
Trump must be one of the most boastful men on Earth. In his dreams, he probably sees himself as Superman, not unlike that Spitting Image puppet of Ronald Reagan in the 80s, a Genesis video "Land of Confusion" where Reagan rides a Triceratops putting everything right. In the video, Reagan is dressed as Superman and a cowboy. He wakes up next to his wife Nancy and realises it was all an illusional dream. Strange irony, really, as Trump has a picture of Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office. And we know while Trump doesn't literally think he is Reagan come again (although that wouldn't surprise me!), he is certainly an admirer of Reagan.
