I don’t really do an eye for an eye. Hamas yes. People who support them because it’s their only option in a hell hole I have some sympathy for.

I’ll take it.

I mean that’s Israel’s take. I’m not sure I’ve seen much evidence it works.

Can you accept that murdering 1.4m people for any policy objective is at the fringes of political discourse, and for quite good reasons?

Last I checked Gaza is in fact part of the world.

I’ll play devils advocate a bit, there is a significant pull factor from western nations as well as global push factors. We aren’t making enough babies and everything falls apart economically with an ageing population. See Japan, which is often to gold standard for anti immigration people. So...

That’s about the population of Gaza give or take isn’t it?

Only 4D

I mean I’m all ears. But I’ve not heard anyone on any side come up with a workable proposal. There’s a difference between not being listened to and asking for something that can’t be done. If there was a serious anti immigration proposal you wouldn’t have the likes of Tice and Farage fannying...

I mean at some point you have to accept politicians are human and not some mix of your Dad and Santa. The elephant in the room here is political choices make very little difference to immigration. It’s spiked the last couple of years because of specific circumstances around Ukraine and lockdown...

As always you’re confusing tactics and strategy.

What does that mean? “Unsustainable”? What is going to happen at what point?

Not at all. It’s just when your advocates are the far right (Robinson, Farage, random louts smashing up town centres) you get that. Same as Corbyns good ideas get drowned out by some of his nuttier ones and nastier friends on the left. Far right and far left are accurate descriptors of a place...

I found myself watching a clip of Nethenyahu talking about fighting terrorism years ago the other day. His guiding principle was basically “you’ve got to hit them hard with military force until they’re destroyed”. I don’t think this is revenge, I think it’s genuinely his belief that you attack...

On the dog thing, looks like fake news to me: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-63596140.amp

In the 50s!

I mean they failed to beat Brown during a massive recession and after 13 years, and failed to beat Sane Corbyn once too. It’s hardly a ringing endorsement from the electorate that they managed to beat Milliband and Mental Corbyn.

He stabbed some kids Grendel.

And the Tories “won” in 2010/15/17/19 because Labour were hopeless 🤷🏻‍♂️ If you’re claiming your half of the population has won the culture war, you’re gonna need some decent evidence. None of the polling on social attitudes backs up ESB. It’s just standard “well everyone I speak to says X”...

We’ve never won a game where Haji Wright has started, and have only won games Josh Eccles has started. Make of this what you will. But be aware this line of thought puts you in sync with philosoraptor and his graphs that proved some random U18 was the greatest player we ever had or something.
