Here’s a powerful video clip, citing France’s President Macron warning of war if the US pulls out of the Iran deal. Macron has exerted France’s full foreign policy muscle on this issue. Meanwhile, Theresa May and Boris Johnson highlight how the UK is under-weight since the Brexit decision.

Incidently, Press TV is a 24-hour English and French languages news and documentary network, affiliated with Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.

Although I do not always agree with Donald Trump, he’s right about the Iran deal and Iran’s wider foreign policy aspirations.

Surely, it’s time to face the truth and do what history will judge to be right?

According to the Economist, the British middle-classes are increasingly feeling the impact of creeping austerity. My advice to them would be to ‘get used to it’, or ‘get out’. The economic consequences of Brexit will be savage for an already heavily indebted UK. Another Conservative Government after the next election will be forced to heavily ramp up austerity. Meanwhile, a Far Left Labour government will also meddle massively but very differently. Either way, the British middle classes are probably in for a prolonged and increasing period of pain. Thoughts?
