She’s already participating in I’m a jihadist, get me out of here.

Which then begs the question are we also going to take British citizens back who are incarcerated overseas. Figures are vague but it’s typically about 2000 British citizens incarcerated overseas at any given time. Which is less than foreign nationals in our prisons but here’s the other issue. We...

The warning signs were there.

The flip coin is that the government are on about sending foreign criminals back to try and free up prison capacity although that’s not the reason why prisons are full). What’s stopping those countries taking away their citizenship and pointing to this as the excuse for doing it?

Another day another Trump lawyer pleads guilty.

Breaking news on Rishi understands what ordinary working people are going through https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67206997.amp Making the tough decisions. Which basically means he doesn’t care what the optics look like, he’s looking after his mates regardless.

True. I guess the big difference is we need China, Israel needs us. The mistakes probably successive governments has made in not seeing the risks is unbelievable really. Golden visas, laundering money, influence on MP’s including at least one PM. Shocking really.

And TBF to Qatar IIRC they’re one of the few Gulf states that has spoken out against the crisis in Yemen. I don’t think that they’ve been on speaking terms with Saudi Arabia for a while now. Other gulf states won’t be able to claim there can be no double standards while they either champion...

TBF we have zero influence over China. Israel on the other hand rely on the West.

Yes. Not sure why you’re finding this so difficult. Agree a return of the hostages in exchange for an end to bombing. If the hostages get returned, great. If they don’t, carry on as before. Israel really has nothing to lose. Are you seriously suggesting that Israeli shouldn’t try to save the...

And the rest of the world.

I don’t think there’s many people who believe that.

Don’t know the origins of the comment. As I said in my original post, I heard it on the radio. You would think it’s worth a go though if your number one priority was the return of your people currently being held hostage.

Yeah but the stupid will lap it up and stupid is the target audience for all this phoney culture war nonsense.

Just heard on the radio that Hamas has offered to return all the hostages if Israel agrees to stop the bombing. Israel has vowed to keep on bombing. You would have thought that securing the return of the hostages would have been Israel’s number one priority.

Avoiding the tough decisions. Err… sorry, I mean making

Said from the start it doesn’t add up. If only because no Hamas rocket has ever caused that scale of damage in Israel. Even if you want to dismiss the Hamas body count the destruction on the ground is far more widespread than the couple of cars at best we see damaged in Israel from Hamas rockets.

I do keep wondering if this is why Egypt won’t open the borders to refugees. If the people of North Gaza leave Gaza altogether it makes life easier for Isreal to occupy the North of Gaza as it will be a ghost town.
