The price of petrol has gone up a few pence per litre, and all those who were having a mini meltdown about the UK not bombing Iran appear to have gone quiet.
It is funny how we are bothered about certain things but not by others.
The fact is, some people do not care which set of brown people we are bombing.
It is another war in a far-off country where people are being butchered because they just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We get sold this idea that it's their fault they got blown up.
The past week pretty much showed how fickle some people can all be. Like it or not, we are all intrinsically linked when it comes to the prices of goods and services.
Hey, I am going to be honest. When prices go up, I am as worried as the next man. Few can maintain the moral high ground on issues when it comes to money.
I hate how giant corporations rule my life, and I know some of them are just putting the prices up to profit from the situation.
What I also find a little strange is that we have a whole set of national news sites and social media commentators who appear to want more to be spent in this country.
We constantly complain about the NHS, the roads, the police and the fact that migrants are sponging off the system and living in hotels.
We will take to the streets to protest the latter as if it's the biggest problem on the planet, but at the same time, we want the government to spend billions dropping bombs on some poor chap trying to make a living.
We have become desensitised by the ongoing bombings, and we know all too well that the excuses being used to kill people are dubious.
We also know we risk being on the wrong side of history, but to believe otherwise brings into question our whole belief that our supposed allies are the ‘good guys’.
All that's left is that now is that victory parade and movie to make us feel all better.
To say this, these days means you have to put out some sort of 'peace disclaimer' in case you get called supporter of 'terrorism'. Even most ardent supporter of war must know how ridiculous it has become.
Thankfully, our government didn’t go in all guns blazing, and there was a more measured approach this time.
Prices matter, so on Friday, the US lifted some sanctions against Russian oil. This is despite their brutal occupation in Ukraine.
It appears fighting for freedom only matters until it costs us a tad too much.
