It’s Sunday …
And … ?
Lyse Doucet has just bee commenting on the conflict between Iran and Israel.
It’s says something, doesn’t it?
That the BBC’s international correspondent is commenting on a conflict … on a Sunday morning religious programme …
~≈😐≈~
At any rate … ?
It’s Sunday … and I’m planning on going beck to bed.
Why … ?
I’ve managed to finish a review, late.
I just hope the review makes sense!

There’s a certain amount of irony doing the rounds.
There’s opposition to the current US president: leading to the No Kings protests.
There were a lot, yesterday: including one encountered by Old Peculiar regular, Debbi Mack.
Seeing the phrase ‘No Kings’?
Always gets me thinking of a line from some of Sir Terry Pratchett’s odder characters.
“Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna’ be fooled again!”The Wee Free Men, Terry Pratchett.
Which potentially means protestors are supposed to paint themselves blue, and steal cows.
Go look up the Feegles, if you get the chance.
At any rate, the irony I mentioned?
Is simply this.
Many in the US were holding ‘No Kings’ protests …
When the Charles 3rd, King of the UK … was attending the Trooping the Colour ceremony, to mark his birthday.
Heigh … ho … !
