Watching shadow foreign secretary William Hague in parliament warmongering on Iran. Saying there will be sanctions if our embassy staff are not treated better and saying that Iran must not be allowed nuclear weapons.
Complaining about human rights violation in Iran
Also condemning Mugabe
Other Mps, including Lib Dems, not doing anything to dissuade him.
Are these people representative of you the British population?
Id have thought the job of our foreign secretary should be to sort out the current wars we have going at the moment.
Why is Britain always at war?

A DONCASTER businessman and his former employee have admitted breaching an arms embargo by illegally selling military vehicles to war-torn Sudan where militia are accused of killing thousands of people in a savage civil war.
They both pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court, London, to the unlawful sale of ex-military vehicles to Sudan, following a two year enquiry and successful prosecution by Revenue and Customs Prosecutions Office.
Andrew Jackson, aged 46, of Westwoodside, the owner of L Jackson & Co Ltd, a company in Doncaster, and Steven Smithey, 28, of Epworth Road, Haxey, were charged with illegally exporting 15 Hagglund BV206 personnel carriers in 2006.
The vehicles are manufactured in Sweden for military and civilian use and each one can, with its trailer, carry up to 17 people.
They are designed with a low weight displacement, making them ideal for driving where there are no hard roads or over uneven surfaces such as snow or sand - making them perfect for military use.
In March 2004 the UK Government introduced the Trade in Controlled Goods (Embargoed Destinations Order) 2004 - partly to restrict the supply of equipment with military capabilities to designated areas of conflict.
A special licence is required to export the vehicles to certain destinations such as war-torn countries such as Sudan, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
More than two years worth of work by prosecutors and investigators, including foreign enquiries to Norway, the destination to which the goods were diverted, resulted in compelling evidence being obtained that L Jackson & Co Ltd had fulfilled a contract with Sudan.
L Jackson & Co, situated on the Old Rocket Site at Misson Springs, near Bawtry, is a long-standing company which previously prided itself on involvement in the supply of used, refurbished and new ex-Ministry of Defence and NATO vehicles and machinery.
They are one of the largest suppliers of used military equipment in the world and operate from a 60-acre site once used as an air defence missile base during the Cold War.
Julie Snell, prosecuting lawyer for RCPO said: "This result represents two years of dedicated teamwork between lawyers and investigators working together to prevent illegal arms trafficking.
"The RCPO prosecution team presented over 700 pages of evidence in support of their case, including electronic material and foreign evidence from Norway."
More than 200,000 people have died during a four-year conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan, and the Janjaweed militia are accused of displacing and killing tens of thousands of people.
Both men are on bail and due to be sentenced on October 30 at Southwark Crown Court.

I remember a scottish businessman who was very concerned by
british arms sale and manufacture which had subcontracted him to make smaller parts for the arms, so he contacted Thatcher by letter
explaining his concerns, he never received a reply by letter, but he did receive a visit from a couple of dubious special branch types who warned him to keep quiet.
Shortly after this the Churchill arms sale broke into the news.
Yet again Thatcher escaped the furore and she avoided the probable trial for high treason.
We see Brown doing a bit of brown nosing with her today, sickening.
