  1. That wasn't aimed at you, it would still have gone over your head even if it was.
  2. Were the Nazis right to try to exterminate the Jews?. If you believe there is no proportionality in war.

  4. Ha! Good news for Tommeh! Subscribe to read WWW.FT.COM Judges rule there is no basis to reduce 18-month jail term on health grounds Tommy Robinson loses appeal bid after claiming prison is β€˜making him ill’ WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK The far-right figure, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is being held in segregation at HMP Woodhill where he is allowed four hours of social phone calls each day The melt is allowed 4hrs on the phone a day? That's a boot-ton of phonecards.
  5. HSE reckon that the first port of call should be a MEWP. Which is impractical for most people. Then you have to justify aerial works, with two ropes, which is probably safer than one on rare occasions. I personally think that if you're going to goose your main line and your strop you're probably best on the ground. But I didn't get where I am today. Also, most the climbers I know got into tree work because they like climbing trees, they don't necessarily like riding MEWP's.
  6. Would it shite. It would be one of the very worst things that could happen. What makes you personally think it would be a "good start", and what would it be a "good start" towards?
  7. It's a genocide. Do you really reckon that's a proportionate way to treat everyday practising Muslims? The conflict following Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel has resulted in catastrophic loss of life in Gaza and the West Bank. As of March 23, 2025, over 50,021 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza alone, with 113,274 injured, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health5. This figure does not include an estimated 11,000 missing individuals presumed dead under rubble5. In the West Bank, at least 1,004 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces as of January 20252. Proportion of Hamas members among casualties Israel claims its operations target Hamas militants, but independent analyses and UN data highlight a disproportionate civilian toll. Gaza’s Ministry of Health reports that 70% of the dead are women and children5, with 17,000 children killed as of March 20256. A Lancet study estimates indirect deaths (e.g., from disease, starvation) could push the total death toll beyond 186,0005. While Israel asserts "precision" targeting, no independent verification of Hamas affiliation among casualties exists. Analysts argue the scale of civilian deaths and infrastructure destructionβ€”including 65,000 homes and 370 schoolsβ€”suggests indiscriminate tactics15. Children killed At least 17,400 Palestinian children have been killed since October 2023, with 15,600 identified by name6. Since Israel resumed strikes on March 18, 2025, an average of 100 children have been killed or injured daily3. Over 9,500 Palestinian minors are currently detained in Israeli prisons, with reports of torture and neglect3. Video of IDF attacking paramedics A March 23, 2025, Israeli attack on a marked medical convoy near Rafah killed 15 paramedics, including eight from the Palestine Red Crescent. Video evidence shows Israeli forces firing on ambulances with emergency lights active47. The UN has called for an independent investigation, citing potential war crimes7. Footage of the incident can be viewed here: YouTube link4. The humanitarian toll continues to escalate, with 1.9 million Palestinians displaced and widespread starvation reported due to Israel’s blockade15. International courts are investigating allegations of genocide and war crimes35.

  12. Aye, it is. The fact you don't recognise it, speaks volumes.
  13. Wilfully or not, you are missing the point that even Labour are now right of centre. Where does that put Reform?
  14. Give your head a wobble.
  15. And that's where the problem lies. The planet is bigger than one island. What used to be considered to be a "right of centre" position is now where the current incarnation of Labour are at. Make of that what you will. Overton window - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  16. Nope, I think that as citizens of earth we would be disingenuous to remain unaware of climate trends. It's got f' all to do with suckling the state's tit. That's why we disagree so often, you see the world as a binary choice of right-wing vs left-wing, and I don't.

  18. Has your prescription ran out? You seem pretty unhinged in your "logic". Have you got anyone you can talk to or should we get The Crisis Team to intervene? I genuinely hope you're alright.

  20. A while ago you did allude to the fact that you and your colleagues would work less if the tax rate was to change - that suggests an income of c.Β£125K. Do you reckon that Trump did a 'Pump and Dump' on purpose, or do you think that he somehow thought that bragging how much his mates made might detract from his shoddy decision making? He is still reeling from Signalgate. Can you say that it's anything but a shambles?
