    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Direct quote from her website Suella Braverman MP : "I worked at the Bar for 10years (sic), specialising in Planning Law and Judicial Review." Is the problem that you can't read, or that you're too lazy to bother? I'm not trying to embarrass you either. I don't think you're capable of that...

    Bit wet

    Yep, the gutters will be clogged with leaves and detritus, the benefits of having lots of trees nearby. Don't actually have a window cleaner on a regular basis, or I'd ask them... Tempted to just have a crack myself... If I don't post for a while, you'll know it's gone horribly wrong. 😄

    Bit wet

    Need to sort my gutters out again. Any recommendations for someone reliable in the Coventry area? Or... I am tempted to just buy a decent set of ladders and sort it out myself, but it looks challenging. Any advice on that, team? (Believe it or not, in my younger days I was a keen but very...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's a long read mate, but worth it if you want a detailed take on the issues around this. It is broadly as described elsewhere; the private companies to take the easier, profitable work, and let the NHS deal with the expensive, difficult stuff. It might get people treated faster, which is...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Politely, I'm not sure I can agree with that. You could argue the problem is that it's badly run, but the counter is that it's been substantially underfunded for a long time now, and the problems now are primarily down to that issue. (See below a report from the FT, hardly a lefty rag.) As for...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's the same myth the Tories have been trotting out forever, that it is possible to resolve decades of chronic underinvestment in the NHS, with reform. (See also council funding, education, etc. etc.) No government in the last twenty years has been able to do it, it's a fiction.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Exactly that. We should never forget that Netanyahu supported Hamas for precisely that reason. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's the classic Tory argument, which should worry anyone who supports Labour. The truth is that the NHS has been underfunded for a decade or more compared to our peers, and the current problems are a direct result of that. If you've got a leaky bucket because you've let it rust for 15-20...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    As for why there's support for Hamas amongst Palestinians and potentially elsewhere, here's an interesting Jewish perspective on it, also from the JC. In short, the author argues this doesn't end without some sort of commitment to a two-state solution from Israel...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I think the answer to your question, Pete, is that it might be based on a flawed assumption (i.e. that educated Muslims are ignoring 'facts') based on a single, potentially biased study. I don't think that this is one to fall out over, mate. I'd worry more about the motivation of those who try...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Facts. Don't make me laugh. You're either a complete troll or just incredibly dim. Pretty sad either way. I think you're probably just desperately looking for attention, rather than believing the bullshit you're spouting, but just in case, here's a simple explanation of why you're wrong...

    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.

    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...

    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...
