I keep telling you Nick, everything is politics. Is it strategically sensible to get entwined in goings on in Palestine, probably not but you've proved my point by returning to this and not mentioning Israel breaking international law again.

the Palestinian national council expressed solidarity with the BLM cause a couple of weeks ago so it's just a bit of mutual back scratching. No doubt it will get more focus than the fact that Israel have broken international law for the umpteenth time. Their comments about Nandys statement...

But he can do a press up mate

I think you might find that a load of strangers trying to pay tribute because he had a popular online persona wouldn't be unwelcome

Agreed. And I'd imagine Nick has to be careful of data protection issues.

Indeed. Let's hope so. Considering we're all experts on everything from Geopolitics to foreign cinema it can't be beyond our collective wit to sort out some way of conveying our condolences

Think it's looking likely it was Covid mate though not confirmed

Some Jewish groups don't. You're lumping them all in together, which I think is what people are arguing against! Not trying to be a smart arse just pointing out what a minefield it is.

Really didn't get on with parasite at all. It came with an amazing amount of hype which can sometimes be a problem. So many people I know really rate it. Perhaps I need to give it another go

2 and 3 definitely 2 of my favourites and I'd add Man bites dog (Belgium) to the list .

Which is why Jenrick is still in a job

Absolutely terrible news. I did fear the worse given how long it Had been since we heard from him.

Definitely someone's multi. Not sure who.

I may be wrong, but I don't think this is really the shit black people are bothered about. Think they're more worried about being victims of brutality and prejudice but I'm prepared to be contradicted.

another problem is the housing market is being propped up by big letting agencies snapping up anything that moves. The day the tax laws on by to lets changed there were reps from London property companies knocking on the doors in our street asking if we were interested in selling. We're not far...

you'd think so though the market is holding up quite well at the minute. That surely can't sustain with the shit storm that is going to hit us in the next year can it?

the US police do these seminars in the UK as well. If you could find countless numbers of pictures of UK police kneeling on peoples necks than maybe people might link it with the training here but you can't, but you can find plenty of the Israelis doing it, but again, the US has to be...

I've just posted that in my view no matter what they're taught by the Israelis ultimately the US authorities have to take responsibility for the actions of their officers. i agree Derek Chauvin is to blame but maybe he'd have though twice if police officers weren't allowed to kill with impunity...

that quote is a bit ambiguous to be honest, I think the Israelis are denying the kneeling on the neck technique was taught at these seminars not that police from the US go there for training. For what it's worth I don't believe the Israelis denial about the neck technique.

to be fair the Israelis could tell them to set fire to people with flame throwers, the US authorities don't have to do it, ultimately the US authorities are responsible for the behaviour of their officers nobody else.
