Which tik-tok influencer helped you form these opinions?

Covid vaccine or not, the measures taken during the pandemic probably tipped a lot of younger people over the edge mentally. Locking down the world like that, making people stay home, banning travel etc. World economies wrecked for years to come. Nobody did a proper long term impact assessment on locking down the world, and how many deaths would be caused vs lives saved. This guy could have flipped as a result of lockdowns, but either way he needs to be locked up before he goes walkabout with a machete (which seems to be the latest fad - see Hainault UK this week).

So wasn't this the perfect opportunity for the Palestinians to turn on their bloodthirsty terrorist leaders and help the Israelis destroy Hamas? Maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome...

Possibly, but also a lot of business is done over a few drinks in a bar / restaurant. The bloke sipping on orange juice or refusing to eat because there are no Halal options is a bit of an outsider in those situations.

Maybe in addition to posting a link you could copy/paste the relevant excerpt from the link into the thread as a courtesy, to save every reader having to open the link and trawl through it. Just a suggestion.

Yet you believe the Palestinian death toll numbers which are provided by Hamas

That could be down to the way the two groups carry themselves, their attitudes etc. Jewish Americans + Europeans tend to be ambitious and well integrated into society. Whereas you have a religion where there are social restrictions (e.g. no alcohol), intolerance of other religions, rules such as you are forbidden to pay interest on borrowed money (check out how hedge funds and lenders have to set up convoluted arrangements for 'Islamic finance'), continuous stories of religiously motivated violence across the globe - how might these things affect the success rate of Muslims?

How is the thread not about the protest marches? What a ridiculous comment. Here's a clue: "near pro-Palestine march”

Does it not concern you what the main organisers of the weekly hate marches are engaged in? For example, Friends of Al Aqsa. They're a pro-Hamas and pro-Hezbollah organisation with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, and who want the removal of Israel as a nation. How they're allowed to continue operating in the UK I don't know. Well I do know. The same reasons the grooming gangs got away with their crimes for decades.

Of course she was harmed. She didn't land on a mattress! Why you're trying to justify what that POS did I don't know. Well, actually I could have a guess...

So you think if the woman was a bad person and did something wrong to him, it's ok to violently throw her across the floor like the guy in the video did. Wow. You learn a lot about people in these threads.

So let's get this clear. Are you saying if a woman / girl has made you angry, you would throw her across the floor like the guy did in the video?

So long as, god forbid, nobody said she was ‘openly Muslim’, probably not. The point is, the group in support of Israeli hostages are highly unlikely to turn violent. Whereas the pro-Palestine mob...

So the police officer feared the mob might attack the Jewish man. In response he threatens to arrest the Jewish man and not arrest the mob that might attack him. Bit worrying that you think that's a fair outcome.

It sounds like you've already been on the drink

Do you have any independently verified proof that 30,000 innocent women and children have been massacred in Gaza? Even the Hamas terrorists admit that over 10,000 of the dead were Hamas. Plus of the remaining 20,000 there might just be some adult males. Or do Israeli bombs only kill women and children? Exaggerating really weakens your argument.

Why would a crowd of 'peaceful' demonstrators possibly attack the Jewish man?

What it proves is that the so called pro-Palestine demonstrators are dangerous if they are rubbed up the wrong way. I don't think the same can be said of the Jews in the UK. If a group of protestors are dangerous and intimidating, the police shouldn't placate them, they should remove them. But it's easier to remove the one peaceful guy and turn a blind eye to the intimidating ones. If you watched the video you can see the aggressive black guy towards the end talking to the Jewish guy in quite a threatening way.

Are you suggesting that the 'peaceful' protesters would have attacked the Jewish man?

I'd like this to be true, but the way the Iranian regime has conducted itself over the past few decades I just cant see them acting rationally.

The counter argument being that Iran's extremist regime can never be trusted. A regime that terrorises it's own citizens. Lifting sanctions gave the regime more funds to sponsor their proxy warfare in the region, and probably enabled them to continue the development of nukes in secret. Also the JCPOA 'sunset' clauses meant that Iran would be free to develop nukes at a later date.

Sounds like it was a lovely bunch of people who were killed at the consulate annex in Damascus. As well as the IRGC leaders who terrorise their own Iranian citizens and plotted the Oct 7th attack, there was also the quaintly named Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It must make you feel warm inside defending these pillars of the world community. According to Iranian officials, they were meeting with members from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a militant group active in the Gaza strip. That day, the Iranian consulate annex building in the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_bombing_of_the_Iranian_embassy_in_Damascus#:~:text=According to Iranian officials%2C they,destroyed by an Israeli airstrike.

I almost spat my tea out then! Now I know you're just on a wind up 🙄

Fact is we're not facing the disaster that many predict (wish for): On 5 February, the OECD published updated forecasts for the world economy. The OECD said that global growth was resilient in 2023, with inflation falling faster than expected. Modest global growth is forecast for 2024 and 2025. The OECD forecasts UK GDP to grow by 0.7% in 2024 and by 1.2% in 2025 (unchanged from its previous forecast made in November). http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN02784/assets/39a3d50a-49be-4a0d-a804-c818cca109a6.png It won't let me paste the table!! But the UK is well positioned versus Italy, France, Germany and the Eurozone for 2024

Where did you get that 90% figure from? There are some people who might not realise that Covid and two major wars are the things causing the financial crisis, and they might be easily persuaded by remoaners to blame Brexit. But I'm sure the majority are smarter than that. 90% 🤦‍♂️
