As a Brit with limited knowledge of the US constitution and mindset, I have a few questions (apologies, don't have time to read 35 pages to see if they've been covered). 1. Could Trump be actually sent to prison before the election, and if so could he become President whilst in prison? 2. If he ends up in prison, do his supporters expect him to be able to run the country from a prison cell, or would he be able to pass laws to free himself, or pardon himself? 3. Why would the Republicans not remove Trump as their candidate now he's been found guilty? I realise Trump has a core of loyal supporters and he has a slim chance of beating Biden (due to Biden's cognitive decline), but surely replacing Trump with a new candidate would give their party credibility again, and assure victory in November. The only way the Dems can win is if Trump remains as Biden's opponent, surely? When times are hard people want a change of government. That puts the Dems on the back foot already, and then you have the fact they are led by a man suffering from cognitive decline.

I think you're wearing rose tinted glasses. If a two state solution is ever implemented, Hamas are not going to just walk away. Hamas would hold on to power as leaders of the the new Palestinian state. Israel would have a permanent threat on their border. Hamas have made it very clear that their goal is to eradicate Israel. They're not just a protest movement against Israeli oppression as you put it. Ridding the oppression is just for starters. You paint a nice picture of peace and tranquillity, but you seem to ignore the kind of entity we're dealing with here (Hamas). I wish it was as simple as you make it out to be.

Ireland have a leftie government in power. Probably not for much longer according to the Irish people I know. I don't think the Irish people support Hamas, it's just the Irish government that do.

Or white shirt has nothing inside his skull to damage, which would explain his aggressive behaviour in the bar

The knife attacker must have been annoyed that people were protesting about his peaceful religion.

You showed a pretty Chinese gal around out of the goodness of your heart....ok

You tried to find something proving that Muslim candidates have campaigned on a ticket of ridding towns and cities of radical Islam. You couldn't find any evidence, so instead you gave us a link about the MCB. Classic diversion tactics. How can I evidence something that didn't happen? 🤦‍♂️

Still avoiding a response to what I wrote then. I asked why Muslim councillors and politicians don't campaign on ridding towns and cities of radical Islam, and you keep deflecting with a link you found about the Muslim Council of Britain.

Bryce Mahoney, Welshman. Sounds like he was probably in Thailand for the weed given his track record: Bryce Mahoney, 40, of Parc Gwernen, Ammanford, admitted four drug charges at Llanelli Magistrates Court on September 29. https://www.southwalesguardian.co.uk/news/23040283.ammanford-pontarddulais-drug-possession-court-cases/

I think this is a prime example of somebody ignoring all the issues and concerns about the massive scale of immigration across Europe in the last few years.

So you have no response to the point I'm making? Expressing condolences after terrorist attacks is not the same as councillors and politicians campaigning. But you know this, hence you have no response.

Why don't Muslim councillors and politicians openly campaign on eradicating Islamists and hate preaching in the UK? That would be more visible to the UK public, and might convince the public that ordinary Muslims are serious about dealing with these problems. They won't campaign on these things though for fear of losing Muslim voters, and possibly fear of losing their lives. What you provided doesn't reach the masses.

In the UK local elections we had Muslim councillors campaigning (and some winning) on a ticket of supporting Palestine. I don't recall any Muslim councillors campaigning to rid UK towns and cities of Islamic radicalisation, Islamic violence and hate preaching Imams. I think if more of them did that it could sway public opinion. Why don't they do that? I think I know why.

While it does seem highly unlikely white shirt could have walked away from this, I suppose it is possible. If he did then he should get himself checked out for bleeding on the brain, which can escalate if not detected early. If they did walk away from it, it might explain why nobody knows who or where they are. How can nobody know where they are if an ambulance took them away? Surely witnesses on the scene would have seen an ambulance take them away if it happened. If they recovered and slinked off into the sunset it would explain a few things.

Yes it does. When the UK was at war with Argentina, nobody said the Tories are at war with Argentina. Same logic. Hamas governs Palestine.

While not defending the despicable violence from the Thai guards, I saw things a bit differently in the videos. The white shirt guy was in the face of the Thai guard, leaning on him etc., and just before it kicked off properly, the white shirt guy raised an elbow and pulled his other fist in a fighting stance. And as for grey shirt guy, he was clearly legless already as he was staggering around the bar. Grey shirt guy, rather than try to separate his mate and the guards he goes in throwing punches. He was so drunk he was quickly overwhelmed by the Thais. I hate it when I see my fellow Brits and other foreigners behaving this way, refusing to pay bar bills (even if inflated) and getting lairy after a few drinks. They probably deserved a bit of a slap to teach them how to behave better, but not the head kicking. That final kick was intended to kill IMO.

Thanks for the information, but it doesn't change the fact that they have recognised the Hamas led Palestine as a state. I expected this of the woke government in Ireland, but not Norway.

They have recognised Palestine as a state, a state governed by Hamas. No links required.

Stop swerving. The story is about Ireland, Spain and Norway recognising Palestine as a nation, a nation which is ruled by Hamas. That's why Hamas are so happy about this development. If they said they will recognise the state of Palestine when Hamas step down / are defeated, then you might have a point. But they didn't, therefore they effectively legitimised the Hamas government.

Not according to the governments of Ireland, Spain and Norway. They have legitimised (in their tiny minds) a Palestine state headed by Hamas. That's what the story is about.

Ireland, Spain and Norway are recognising a Palestinian state headed by Hamas. This means that the Oct 7th atrocities were carried out by the State of Palestine, in the eyes of the Irish, Spanish and Norwegian governments. Bunch of leftie idiots who act without engaging their brains, just like Queers for Palestine.

Hamas are Palestinians. It's perfectly reasonable to call the Oct 7th attackers Palestinians. Ireland, Spain and Norway clearly agree, given that they have recognised Palestine as a state while Hamas are in charge.

You should read the explanations about Clear Air Turbulence on these threads. Impossible to predict/see, so there is no warning. I don't know about your assumption that 50% keep their belts off while seated, but I suspect that will drop to about 10% after this incident.

Every 2-3 hours, that's fine. I was talking about people who spend almost the entire flight wandering around, getting in the way, and sticking their backside in seated people's faces. Wait, you know seven people who have died from stokes and DVTs because of long haul flights, some after months in a coma? How is it possible that you know so many people who died this way?

What's uncomfortable about a piece of fabric laying across your lap? Sounds like that story, The Princess and the Pea
