Put’nstan’s GRU, son of the KGB, is sending explosive packages around the world. They have caused fires in Canada, England, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands and the US at the very least.

GRU firebugs

There is buckets of disapproval floating around over religious fanatics being allowed to be in charge of Iran. But the newspaper pix of The Donald with praying evangelists with their paws all over him indicates that there’s a lot of it about on both sides of the bombardments.
Early settlement
The Doombugger of the Year Award looks certain to go to the energy minister of Qatar. His prediction that the global economy will collapse in response to Israel’s attack on Iran and its minions is unlikely to be topped.
The death of decency
Channel 5 hit a new low with a series featuring lip-readers spying on private conversations between members of the Royal Family.

Reading the comments about the arrests of suspected Iranian spies and stalkers in London, I find myself on very familiar ground. The things the alleged bad guys are accused of are exactly the same as what China’s spies are supposed to have got up to in Wales.
Don’t bother to come up with anything new in the way of a statement, just substitute Iranian for Chinese in the old material and adjust the targets a bit.
