    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Entirely irrelevant bunch of waffle. You're flapping a bit now mate, so let's keep it simple. Just answer one question, it's not a hard one so there's no need to panic, love... Does Braverman describe herself as specialising in Judicial Review. Yes or no?

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    At least the school I went to taught reading comprehension (and additionally, how not to look like a arrogant knob). Braverman herself states that she specialises in Judicial Review, you admit this yourself. Therefore it's not unreasonable to describe her as a Judicial Review lawyer in the...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    And in the meantime, a handy explainer on international humanitarian law as it applies to Israel. It doesn't really mention accidents. Unsurprisingly, there's a large body of qualified legal opinion that suggests Israel is in breach of it - this includes four former supreme court judges. Bit...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Much as it painted me to do it, Braverman's description of herself is as a barrister specialising in "judicial review". (Link below, warning, basic reading comprehension required...) As for lmfao, there's nothing funnier than a 50p troll on here pretending to be some kind of legal expert. Do...

    In fairness, it looks a hefty tome. At least we'll be able to burn it to keep warm, should she ever get back into a position of power.

    Can someone do me a Taggart, "There's been an insult", gif, please. 😁

    Advice Required (For Nintendo Switch Owners)

    You'd never believe a furry bunny could be so accurate with a mini-gun. 😄 Sorry mate, as you can guess I have literally no useful suggestions (no change there). I quite liked Animal Crossing, but I get exactly where you're coming from. There's not much jeopardy in it, unless you let one of...

    Animal Crossing. 😁 (Edit: The Black Ops version, obviously)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Conservatives have values now? 😁 Liz Truss is the best example I can bring to hand, of someone who is too thick to actually realise they're thick. Fair play though, it must take ages to write a book when you have to move your lips whilst you're doing it. At least in the old days the Tories...

    Birmingham City stadium

    Until Wasps are involved, I'm never going to believe this stadium will happen. 😁

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Either you believe in the rule of law, or you don't. It's not the dark ages. You're aligning yourself with Putin here. Think about that for a moment. As for warm, comfy cells, spent any time in prison have you? Read about it at all, other than in the Daily Mail? Thought not.

    Ah, the laughing emoji. The one that says I can't answer the question so I'll just poke fun at it and hope no one notices.

    I think there's a list of Starmer's commitments when he ran for leader posted earlier. I'll bet good money that also earlier in this thread you've said it was ok that he's ditched them. Electoral hygiene, you said. It's ok to drop everything he promised to champion earlier as long as he wins...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Let's start with some of the pledges that Starmer signed up to when elected leader shall we? They were broadly centre-left, is the party still committed to those, I must've missed it...

    Show me again where the Tory party have admitted to raising taxes? We know they have, but have they actually said that's the way forward for their party? Have they abandoned their fiscal rules? Have they admitted privatisation of utilities is a failure? Maybe the reason the Tories are moving...

    There's compromise, and there's abandoning your core beliefs. Let's not mix them up, eh.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    And I guess, with every respect, that is where we differ Pete, because I don't see Starmer supporting or even trying to make the case for any of those things (except for some comments regarding workers' rights, perhaps). In fact, it seems he's rapidly backed away from those commitments. In a...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It obviously wasn't a stalemate until the Russians pulled back and then had time to dig in. If the West had been willing to provide F-16s and long range ordnance from the start, that might not have happened. As for the situation now, Ukraine isn't asking for NATO troops, just for enough weapons...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    P.S. I do consider you a friend mate, even if it's only on here. Shmmeee too. Christ, I even quite like @rob9872 and he's obviously a Tory nutter. 😁 We can talk about this stuff, and even differ substantially without hating each other*, I hope. I value these discussions, it's good to have one's...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Couple of thoughts, Pete. "Socialist" needs definition before you accuse someone of either being or not being one. So let's stick with the centre-left as the people you're accusing of not wanting to be in government. So typically, in my book, that means being in favour of a mixed economy...
