    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Who's saying they should get a free pass? As to whether what they're doing is justified, that's a different argument. At the moment Israel is directly engaged in what many would consider a genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. If for some reason you're uncomfortable with that word...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I've no time for either Iran or Israel, at least in terms of their governments. I think what the American action confirms though, as if we didn't know it already, is that the idea of some kind of international rules-based order is ancient history. I somehow doubt that this will lead to less...

    Death List 2025

    Bit late to the party on this one. Norm did get some absolutely brilliant one liners. Personal favourite... "Room for another, Norm?" "No, but I'm willing to add on." And Brian Wilson gone too. Music is all about personal taste of course, but the Beach Boys are right up there for me. And...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Total hysterical nonsense from the Trump fanboy, as usual. No one is destroying communities, LA is not in flames. The LAPD did not request help from the National Guard or the Marines, and neither did they need it to bring the situation under control. If you'd bother to pay attention to the...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    No one here is supporting the bloke that I'm aware. So, what's your opinion then of the bombing, and now starvation, of tens of thousands of innocent people (including women and children) in Gaza? I ask because you don't half look like an awful fucking hypocrite if you decry the killing of...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    No mate, it's an actual genuine news source that you can generally trust because it's not owned by billionaires with their own agenda. Personally I think it's much better than getting your news off Facebook, or your opinions from a fat bloke down the pub. In the meantime, assuming you've...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    It is literally what the far right coalition that runs the Israeli government is saying. Reduce Gaza to rubble and expel those who are living there. Try reading the actual news. Where the fuck are you getting your facts from mate...

    Tavares to Burton Completed

    Seems a good lad. Maybe a bit unlucky with us in terms of injuries and chances. I wonder if being a first team regular will bring out the best in him and we'll see him back in the division in a season or two. Either way, wish him every success.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/may/19/uk-50-richest-families-hold-more-wealth-than-50-of-population-analysis-finds In the meantime, things are going pretty well for the small minority of people at the top. But if you need welfare, because you're old, disabled, or sick, there's not...

    Well that's taken all the fun out of it. We demand juicy gossip! 😄

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    There's an important distinction here that you are continually failing to grasp. The hatred is for the actions of the state of Israel. Not for the individual singer, not for Jews. There might be good and bad people everywhere, but at this exact moment there's only one side starving children...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Q: Could it be that the public vote for Israel in the Eurovision was influenced somehow? A: Of course it bloody was. Easy to do given how the voting works. See below. In some ways it would have been better if Israel had won, because then some genuinely difficult choices would have to be made...

    Lampard to Southampton?

    I'd tend to agree, I think the only thing that makes it slightly different from most Championship managers, is that he's a 'big name' which perhaps earns him a bit more credit than his record might deserve. In the same way, to our benefit, perhaps Robins was overlooked for the top jobs...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Who said she's a terrible person, she might be entirely lovely. Unfortunately she's representing a country currently doing terrible things. If she doesn't agree with what's going on she's not said so, has she?

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I would add that she's free not to take part if she's "uncomfortable". Are the children in Gaza free to avoid agonising, inhumane deaths?

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    What's poor is worrying more about one person's discomfort than tens if not hundreds of thousands of people being starved and bombed to death. I think you might want to reset your moral compass.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Unfortunately, she's chosen to represent her country at an event where many think Israel shouldn't be present. That's her choice. Others will inevitably protest against it, that's their choice. I wouldn't advocate violence against anyone, but I'm not too worried about her being uncomfortable...

    Lampard to Southampton?

    That's fair enough mate. My entirely personal opinion is that the article is clickbait, but since we're all fans, I thought I'd put it up there for comment. It's not designed as a wind up, sorry for being snarky... As to whether FL goes at some point, I think that's inevitable. There's not much...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    You know, I don't think booing and waving flags at someone is quite as bad as starving and bombing children to death. What she went through was undoubtedly horrific, and no right minded person would ever support it. However, what's going on in Gaza right now is even worse, as I'm sure you'd...
