Fill up with petrol. Don’t panic, don’t panic.
The Straits of Hormuz are about to get interesting.
Well yeah….Husain always gets the Muslim gig…is she given it because of her ‘special’ knowledge and empathy or does she demand it because of her special interest and wish to push the Musim angle?…whichever it’s nearly aways Husain who does the Gaza bit….maybe they’ll start questioning the wisdom of that now….
‘The BBC has admitted that it failed to sufficiently challenge an Iranian guest who accused Israel of being an “ethno-supremacist” state that is committing a “holocaust” in Gaza.
Mohammad Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran, appeared on Radio 4’s flagship show on Tuesday to comment on how Iran would respond to Israel’s “limited” ground invasion inside Lebanon.
In what Jewish organisations called a “disgraceful” move, Mishal Husain, the BBC presenter, permitted Mr Marandi to speak at length, unchallenged, as he called Israel a “genocidal regime” that believed its citizens were the “chosen people”.
A BBC spokesman said: “The Today programme covered the latest developments in Lebanon and the Middle East and interviewed a range of people including IDF spokesperson Lt Col Peter Lerner, US Diplomat Dennis Ross and Iranian academic Mohammad Marandi to get a broad perspective on the complex politics of the region.’
Even free speech Toby Young loves his freebies – complains about Saudi then watches the fight and goes home.
“Why play the Saudi anthem before an all-British boxing match?

I wasn’t there at the invitation of the organisers, which is just as well because someone who was – Oliver Brown, the Telegraph’s chief sports writer – got turned away for having written something critical about ‘Saudi sportswashing’ the day before. If I’d witnessed that, I hope I would have spun on my heels and followed him back down Wembley Way. The fact that he was refused entry for criticising the Gulf kingdom is outrageous, given that it was a heavyweight title fight on British soil and he’s an accredited sports journalist.
I’d been given four tickets by a colleague, and I took Caroline, my son Freddie and a boxing-mad friend of his. We didn’t quite have ringside seats, but they were one tier below and offered a pretty good view.
So they sold the diesel ferry for 17,000 euros, bought a solar powered ferry for 3.3 million euros then mucked about spending a few more million euros to get the new ferry working, failed to get the new ferry to work then bought the old diesel ferry back for 100,000 euros.

“It turns out that the Missunde III’s glorious solar roof acted like a great sail in the face of those stiff northern winds. Her small electric motors had trouble overcoming the force, such that she took twice as long to cross the Schlei against the wind as her drab and dirty older sister. The Missunde III’s greater weight also placed too much strain on her guidance cables, and she had trouble mooring at the dock. Cables can be changed out, but the mooring problems were far graver. The chubby Missunde III would require additional dolphins to be driven into the Schlei. Alas, ramming sticks into the bed of a fjord that also happens to be in the centre of a nature preserve is not exactly environmentally friendly; you have to do soil assessments, you have to apply for permits, it is not certain you’ll be granted those permits, and all of that anyway takes a long time.”
“Thus the Office for Coastal Protection finally went limping back to the not-so-dim buyer who purchased the Missunde II for 17,000 Euros, and struck a deal to buy it back from him for 100,000 Euros.”
Next on stage was shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry, who gave a fiery speech hailing Labour’s history of fighting against fascism and racism and vowing the party would never again get involved in “illegal, aggressive wars of intervention”.
