"Iran doesn't have nukes. Israel does.
Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Israel isn't.
Israel has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country. Israel doesn't."
But Israel is the victim? My video for Zeteo on how the media's coverage of this crisis is abysmal & ridiculously biased.

Today marks 8 years since the Grenfell Tower fire, when 72 people needlessly died because of corporate greed and deceit.
Every year, I am moved by the resolve, kindness and humanity of the community.
8 years on, we are still fighting for justice.

TELLY GOLD: Some classic Saint & Greavsie from this weekend in 1989.
The chaps reflect on last week’s rugby wager. And as Jim tells a saucy gag about the Boat Race, poor old Saint struggles to hold in the giggles.
Good times.

The Israeli state just murdered Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat.
One of the finest journalists on earth, his courageous work was instrumental in understanding the depravity of Israel’s genocide.

Never forget Hossam Shabat

Keep in mind that RFK receives millions of dollars from a law firm that sues over vaccines.
The CDC, under RFK Jr., will research the widely-debunked, nonexistent link between vaccines and autism.

What a header!
39 years ago at Old Trafford.
Geoff Pike leapt like a salmon on a trampoline to score one of the best bullet headers you’ll ever see.
Bonus points for the celebration too.

Papin could volley better than Roger Federer, what a ball striker
This week in 1993:
The ball dropped just right for Jean-Pierre Papin vs Porto… and he did this.
