  1. Hunt contemplating reducing inheritance tax. Oh goody, plenty of help for the unemployed,sick,hungry, cold aristocracy there then.
  2. There’s a good argument to be made for a ceasefire on humanitarian grounds. Once people start bandying around crackpot theories . They will simply undermine their argument. Most lobbying, donations etc to Labour come from the Trade Unions, plenty of sympathy for the Palestinian cause there.
  3. If you really think Starmer has pocketed a few bob, and is supporting Israel off the back of it. Then it’s up to you to prove it. You can’t, because it’s bullshit.
  4. Acker used to sit behind us in the lower DE. He was a character, a mad keen Villa fan. He retired to Spain. Sadly no longer with us now, HITS
  5. Still don’t see what he did as a club manager, that in any way qualified him to manage England. We’re in danger of wasting our best collection of players for many years.
  6. They say a team reflects its manager…….they got that right. Whatever success England have enjoyed, is despite Southgate, not because of him. The guys about as inspiring as a wet turd.
  7. What happened on 7th October was not a “military operation”. It was a massacre.
  8. I don’t think the Israelis are naive enough to think they’ll eradicate every Hamas gunman. What I think they’ll settle for, is destroying the infrastructure that enables Hamas to operate from a tunnel network that took years to construct. Expect a new barrier to be constructed after this is over, that will be infinitely more sophisticated than what was there on 10th of October. They may also retain a heavily armed presence in Gaza. Either way, the limited autonomy the Palestinians enjoyed prior to this conflict, is likely to be even more limited after.
  9. A ceasefire is not indefinite, that would be an armistice. A humanitarian pause can be any length the combatants can agree on.
  10. The only Party Bojo will join, is one with party poppers and plenty of food and booze.
  11. Like all “systems” teams will study it, and find ways to counter it. Once it’s found to be a liability, top coaches will move on and adapt. We’ve got a top coach, someone I’ve got faith in.
  12. He’s going to pass an emergency law, to enable them to ignore…..the law. Party of law and order my arse. If they get away with this, no laws are safe. We’re becoming a banana republic under this lot.
  13. Where does it state that the attackers have to be a state.Thousands of murderous terrorists intent on mass slaughter, would I think be regarded as something the Israelis would have a right to defend themselves from.
  14. He’s a moderator. He certainly can tell you what not to do……..on this site
  15. Then why are Hamas gunmen exchanging gunfire there.
  16. You could argue that Jeremy Corbyn tried that, and here we are with a Tory Government. If you actually look at the policies that Corbyn championed, they’re pretty in line with what people are calling for now. Better public services, more workers rights etc. I voted for him in the Labour leadership election. My heart ruled my head on that one. The thing is, politics, sadly, is a cynical game. We’d all like to do what we think needs doing. But unless you actually win, you can’t do a damn thing. For what it’s worth, while I’m well to the left of Starmer, I think he’s playing the political game pretty well at the moment. If Labour win, Then the real arguments for meaningful change can begin, from a position of power.
  17. Doubt the Red Wall voters are going to have Gaza very high on their list of priorities when they cast their votes.
