Bit daft really isn't it. The full album by one half of the brothers and not the talented, songwriting one.

It's ridiculous isn't it. You keep trying to tell yourself this is the 21st century, but humankind never, ever learns and wars just continue unabated. If it wasn't so utterly saddening, you would be concluding that the whole thing is just pathetic. China is surely watching all this, along with...

I think everything is going to get worse as a result of this. More attacks across the world.

I still celebrate it. Every year without exception. This year we are going to get Trivial Pursuit out and then just disappear for long periods of the game

🤪

You're a good bloke, Pete and one day I might actually get to meet you (that's not a threat 🤪)

Yes, I picked up on that too. Never used to be any questioning of referees, but it definitely seems to have crept in. Noticed a number of occasions in this World Cup where dissent has been shown

It's very fair to say, if we were to comment on all the ills of the world and every piece of wrongdoing, we would never be off this site I struggle to have a life outside here as it is I do also think, for me at least anyway, I try to steer clear of many topics and news stories, because they...

Yup. What the Chinese are doing to the Uyghurs is absolutely appalling, but no-one is ever going to do anything about it are they. I guess we feel (the US and UK) have some sway with Israel. China are always just going to do whatever they want I think and I don't think anyone is going to ever...

Okay. Appreciate your honesty. I already think they have gone too far in their response.

I don't know. I guess it's because it's everywhere and this is one recent, awful incident, so people tend to focus on things as they actually happen and that are heavily reported at the time I think there are lots of awful things going on that never make the headlines unfortunately. Look at...

That's not what I asked though. Do you think it is acceptable for Israel to use any means at all in order to reach their goal?

Personally, I do think there a large majority of Muslims that are peaceful and law-abiding. I used to work with a Muslim and he used to be in the British army and one of my best friends is a Muslim and they are one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. It's where you get the...

Okay, heres a question for those that are in total support of the Israeli actions. Do they have a complete carte blanche here in your eyes, or would there be anything that was a step too far? Just a genuine question. Not trying to provoke, or catch anyone out. I just wonder if you would find...

I don't honestly know. Where do you draw a line? I know that Israel have been land-grabbing since the 1960's. It's such a mess over there and there is no definitive answer is there really.

I would word that differently. I think there are plenty of people on here who don't wish to see Israel win (they have consistently and constantly, illegally land-grabbed over many decades), but don't wish to see Hamas win either. I would like to think that most people would want Palestine to...

Calling us all terrorist sympathisers is totally insane. My stance has always been that I have sympathy for the Palestinians, but also hate any terrorist attacks on Israel. That, that attack two weeks ago was sick and depraved, but that Israeli's retribution is inhumane and way beyond the pail...

Neither did Palestine. This was Hamas. You can't blame all of Ireland for the IRA, just the same as you couldn't blame all of Germany for Hitler.

Bottom line is in all of this, even if you support what you see as a people's legitimate cause, you can never, ever, ever, defend what the likes of Hamas did on that fateful Saturday. That was terrorism.

Even if anyone doesn't think Hamas are terrorists, that attack, WAS a terrorist attack. How else can you define it? By it's very definition, it was a terrorist attack 🤷
