If we have quite a few players unavailable through illness, we have to cut Robins some slack tomorrow surely. Let's see what the team is, but if we lose because we have had to field a heavily weakened side, I think we very much need to take that into account. I have fingers crossed we still...

For that last sentence, you are still talking about the headset aren't you and not your daughter?

Maybe they are two Italian players we are bringing in, in January.

Hopefully good news and a bit of respite. 🤞

Exactly. This is a total distraction. The government (Braverman especially) and some daily newspapers are stirring up trouble, based on the cenotaph supposedly being under threat and the "how dare they march on this day" nonsense. Facts are, the marches have been happening every Saturday...

Unbelievable that people are fighting outside a museum of tolerance. 🤦

Well, I would wear a black armband to mark the occasion, but as black appears in the flag of Palestine, I don't want to be seen as a terrorist sympathiser and supporter of Hamas.

It's sad to see. I get that they can see footage and photos of people suffering in Gaza and violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in news feeds, but this is not the answer, to just go out and attack Jews and Jewish establishments in the UK and elsewhere. It's always the innocents...

That was a typo. I meant Remembrance Sunday. Which is obviously Sunday.

This is Saturday, not Remembrance Day. I do now think however, due to all the shit stirring and firing people up, some now may well turn up at the cenotaph gunning for a confrontation. People have been whipped into a frenzy over it, despite the march organisers saying the march is going...

Yup. So many are saying this is just going to make things much worse. It's just going to breed more terrorists and more hatred of Israel and the West.

It's way, way past self defence now isn't it. Ridiculously so.

Think you are missing the point a bit here, Nick. The march organisers have given the police their route and it goes nowhere near the cenotaph. Fuelled by the likes of Braverman and the Mail, the far right have said they are going to go down to the cenotaph. So, pretty much, it will just be...

Well, yup, if the march is going nowhere near the cenotaph and the EDL types are turning up AT the cenotaph. If there's no-one else I wouldn't be surprised if they then don't go looking for the peace protestors.

Well said.

There's some incredibly broad brush strokes being applied on here and in the right wing press isn't there. Pro-Palestine equals, pro-Hamas Anti Israeli government equals hates all Jews.

Seriously? CND and the Anti-War Coalition are part of and part organisers of the marches Do they have a hatred of Jews? Is that what you're saying? I used to be in CND myself many years back and I can never remember them saying they hated Jews. 🤔 Maybe I missed that meeting

⬆️ Sarah Vine, whoever she is. Never heard of her to be honest. "Glorify Hamas?"

I'm sure the Mail is hinting at that for one.

Yes. It is a pro Palestinian march and a march for peace and the call for a ceasefire. It's being painted by much of the media through as a pro Hamas thing.
