    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I can assure you I don’t think I have deleted or substantially edited (apart from typos etc) any post Edit- just checked and not sure if the bit you quoted was me responding to a point from yesterday (which I didn’t finish) which I hadn’t deleted when responding to Otis post this morning. It...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    We went to war in Iraq. We’re not involved with this. Both the government and Labour have called on Israel to follow international law but have also stated that they have the right to defend themselves. I’m sure behind the scenes they’re imploring Israel to minimise any civilian casualties. I...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I honestly don’t see that Otis. You could argue that the marches are being painted as more anti Israel, some Jewish people might argue anti Jew. I’ve not seen any media suggesting their pro Hamas

    But it’s not us/our government undertaking the actions in Gaza/Israel. Very different

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I think you’re struggling to read my posts. I was responding to otis talking about peace marches and that I’d respect anyone also calling for return of hostages etc as that’s what will be needed to get peace

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    . In my mind these are totally different to the Iraq war marches which were a large proportion of population either trying to change/influence government policy (our own government - not another countys) and saying ‘not in our name’.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I agree most will be marching for a ceasefire however I think it’s fair to say there will be a (possibly substantial) minority that will be anti Israel and then a smaller minority anti semite I’d have a lot more respect if those marching for a ceasefire were also targeting hamas and the...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Killers of the flower moon - very long but great if you like slow burners. Take packed lunch….and empty bottle if your bladders as weak as mine The burial (Prime) - really enjoyed this. Fun film. Based on true story.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    US obviously benefits from being a global reserve currency but the deficit and continued money printing can and will be an issue. You cannot keep printing more and more money without it ultimately losing its value. If you own assets which appreciate in value like property, stocks etc you might...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Im not sure what either party can/will do, it’s out of control and unserviceable Edit - when I say unserviceable, it obviously will be serviced, Id imagine ultimately by more printing of money….which will continue to be debase the value of the currency. Most other developed countries are in a...

    Jack burroughs

    Exactly, playing regularly will be far more beneficial to him and us. It’s been the problem in recent years, all half decent young lads have been stuck on the bench, not quite trusted by Robins to get minutes regularly, yet cant be put on loan due to paper thin squad

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Totally out of ideas. I’ve always been sympathetic to Sunak as he was dealt a turd hand from Johnson and Truss but he needs to come up with better than that. Also keeping all the old boys/girls in the cabinet rather than just using it as an opportunity to get a load of new blood in and clear the...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I think Comos underlying points are correct though. Trump needs to be jailed to avoid him being the republican candidate and something needs to happen to Biden (not death ideally) and Harris so democrats are forced to get someone else in the mix….ideally someone under 70. Either one of those...

    The official NFL Thread

    Not a fan of either team, not sure why as both are top level this year. Eagles look like they can grind results out against everyone, will take some stopping this season ps Stroud is having an amazing rookie season. Amazing stats Sunday inc a 46 second drive to get winning TD. Cool head on a...
