Piers Morgan CONFRONTS a vegan climate activist Orla Coghlan over almonds and avocados, accusing him of hypocrisy: “You don’t care about bees being murdered. You’re killing billions of bees and destroying the planet, yet you preach about saving animals!” His final response? “I’m certainly allowed to eat meat when someone kills bees to feed their avocado habit!” Piers Morgan: Do you eat almonds? Do you drink almond milk? Orla Coghlan: I’m here to talk about the climate crisis. Piers Morgan: Do you eat avocados? Orla Coghlan: I eat a plant-based diet. Piers Morgan: Do you eat avocados? Orla Coghlan: Yes. Piers Morgan: Great. A leading study says billions of bees are slaughtered so that you can have your almonds and avocados. Why don’t you care about the little guys? Orla Coghlan: Can I say that there— Piers Morgan: It’s total hypocrisy, isn’t it? You don’t care about bees being murdered. Orla Coghlan: Will you let me speak? I’ve been brought on the show to answer your questions. Piers Morgan: I think you’re a hypocrite, like a lot of vegans I’ve met. You don’t seem to realize that your almonds and avocados involve the slaughter of billions of bees. Piers Morgan: You believe in the climate crisis? Orla Coghlan: Yes. Piers Morgan: Animal agriculture, farming and fishing are leading causes of the climate crisis. But you know what’s also damaging? Planes carrying your avocados and almonds from California thousands of miles to your vegan cafes. You’re killing billions of bees and destroying the planet, yet you sit here preaching about saving animals and the environment! Orla Coghlan: I hear that you’re very frustrated. I would really like to respond. Piers Morgan: Go on, then. Orla Coghlan: A leading study from Oxford, the most comprehensive study on food and climate ever done, says animal products farming animals and fishing are the leading cause. Piers Morgan: Is a bee an animal? Orla Coghlan: I’m not finished. It surpasses— Piers Morgan: Is a bee an animal? Orla Coghlan: Piers, can I— Piers Morgan: Of course a bee is an animal! If a bee’s an animal, why are you slaughtering them? Orla Coghlan: Both almonds and avocados are less damaging to the planet— Piers Morgan: Oh, they are less damaging! And what about how they get from California? What about the trucks across Europe? Piers Morgan: I’m starving, and you’re not going to persuade me. My response to you destroying all these things is to have a Big Mac. It’s a free country, it’s a democracy. I’m allowed to eat meat, and I’m certainly allowed to eat meat when someone who kills bees to feed their avocado habit lectures me!

Tomorrow is crucial every one of us must go out and vote. Vote to protect our city from a DA takeover under Gogo Helen. Vote to tell DA Minister Leon Schreiber: you will not sell our country to illegal foreign nationals. Vote right. Don’t bring the DA into Joburg. They have already failed here in Midvaal a small municipality in Gauteng. You don’t have to fly to Cape Town to see how bad they’ve been…..

I left Capetown 4 years ago backtoJohannesburg, my business couldn't survive there. The rental fee, the water bill, electricity and maintenance was worse than ever I paid almost 20k every month running a small business and workshop. Capetown is a Capitalist Mafia State

Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer. Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war. To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha. The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people. And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final. We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it. Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made. They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making. One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

DA’s @helenzille and @TonyLeonSA just rubbed arrogant bellies saying the City of Cape Town spends more in Khayelitsha than in Camps Bay. Watch this @SundayTimesZA video and see how insulting such statement is. Best of luck Johannesburg

Maria shut up.
Helen Zille has literally devoted her entire adult life to doing what is right and necessary for South Africa to succeed - from her time as a young anti-Apartheid activist until now, giving up what should be her retirement to enjoy with her grandchildren to help turnaround JHB.

The DA is zionist funded, what did you guys expect. Trump and Benjamin are deep within South African affairs because of DA and Afriforum them
Surely this isn't true?! The DA asks the US who have been systematically meddling in elections all over the world (and internally), to become involved in our elections because of some unspecified 'threat' to our elections process. Unbelievable! With friends like this, who needs enemies? piped.video/shorts/k-WBQzSN8…

I live in the suburbs, but I'm under no illusion about how far removed I am from the townships. One missed salary could easily change my postcode. So township development is very much my business.
