Not out of any sense of envy.

Who brought Trump’s wife into this? …. Oh… you did!

Bit of envy leaking out.

Jonny sets about an intelligent and articulate woman with derogatory remarks aimed at her and her husband, his remarks on the latter being libelous slurs. Nothing much changes.

Top tier work by the Met and UK Security services, well done to all involved. Indisputably many lives have been saved.

1. Yes, thanks for correcting my typo. 2. Yes it’s an obscenity, but not one the poorest of these nations can do anything about. 3. ‘10 days’ , I hadn’t noticed, nor was I aware of any time limit on responding to comments. No I’m not suggesting you are linking this with ‘migration’, illegal or otherwise. People migrating to escape poverty is a thing, always has been, always will be.

Rest assured if it had happened on Biden’s watch Trump supporters, both foreign and domestic, would be blaming him for it.

Opinions differ; IMBD rate it at 8.2/10, Rotten Tomatoes gives a 99% rating.

Like those in India and Pakistan who have no access to healthcare, live in extreme poverty, no access to clean water and who suffer problems of child nutrition, while their own Government ignores their plight. I guess they could trek across the world in search of a bitter life.

The Bird Brain of Alcatraz.

I haven’t checked but I believe the right to feel permanently aggrieved on the basis of any imaginable basis is protected under HR Law.

No surprise, the UK played an instrumental part in the founding and drafting of Human Rights Law. Human Rights Laws are something the UK can be very rightly proud of: https://eachother.org.uk/churchills-fight-human-rights/

Until it gets to cheering on their job loss.

I know a British guy who’s son has a highly successful career in the British film industry as a digital artist, his IMBD page lists a number of Hollywood blockbuster movies on which he was lead animator. Digital animation being one of the UK Film industry success stories. The father is very rightly immensely proud of his son’s achievements, while meanwhile is own social media is plastered with Pro-Trump propaganda. I’m not sure I’d want to attend one of their family gatherings right now.

Well you’ve had my point of view. And then you started to imagine stuff and posting it. Get you fix elsewhere.

There you are baselessly imagining and posting that I have zero thought or empathy for the child victims of the child rape gangs, pure ad hominem. Having invited me into the discussion by tagging me, you take offense at my point of view. Perhaps that’s your whole point Jonny, your insatiable appetite to be offended. If you don’t like my point of view, don’t tag me to invite me into the discussion.

I wonder who left that gaping loop hole open? Good to see the end of catch phrases and performative cruelty while operating open boarders, replaced by a Government quietly getting it done.

Nick, I think we both agree Hamas are a brutal terrorist organization with an indisputable history of committing unquestionably heinous crimes. Hamas also have a history of visiting their brutality on the people of Gaza. History tells us that the number of people who have the courage to standup to or oppose brutal totalitarian regimes is very very small. Most people under such brutal regimes keep their head down for their own personal safety and that of their families. I don’t sit behind my keyboard imagining I would be one of those very very small number of people. I might hope would be but I don’t know, I don’t think anyone knows how they would act under such circumstances. I have immense respect and admiration for those who in the real world do stand up to brutal totalitarian regimes they are oppressed under, sadly they are few and fewer still survive their stand. Regardless, none of that obviates the comments I have made.

I’m sorry you draw conclusions from my comment about the proposed occupation (which is not a theory) then you ask me to defend the conclusions you yourself drew? I don’t think I’ll bother, those are your conclusions feel free to defend them yourself.

Nick, I’m not in the least bit interest in your strawman arguments, deal with the comments I have made not the comments you imagine I have made.

Thank you for quoting me out of context. You did read the OP? If so, perhaps you missed this bit: “Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s government believes this approach will exert maximum pressure on Hamas by holding ground permanently and pushing Gaza’s population further south.” What do you think ‘holding ground permanently’ means? We’ll deal with ‘pushing Gaza’s population further south’ if and when Israel implement that particular breach of international law wrt to forcefully displacing the civilian citizens of occupied territories.

I’m not ‘ignoring’ the history of the conflict, rather it is not relevant to my comment. However, I now note that all of a sudden events prior to the heinous terrorist attack by Hamas suddenly get brought up were doing so was ‘energetically opposed’ up until now. Back to my comment: Israel has stated an intent to permanently occupy Gaza, with some outline of their intended actions while there. My post does not address Israel’s stated justification for doing so, rather the significance of such an occupation on the applicability of international law and the likely response from the population of Gaza. wrt to your comment: “Occupying forces have responsibilities under various conventions; if there is a widespread hostile armed resistance movement along the lines of Hamas, then Israel is simply unable to meet those responsibilities.” Those responsibilities under international law are a result of occupation, if, as you appear to argue, Israel can’t meet those obligations then they can avoid the obligations by not occupying the territory.

I wasn’t suggesting you imagine living under Hamas. Have a read of the out of context quote you posted from my comment, see if you can figure out what I was actually saying, not what you imagine I had said

Hey Vlad, just withdraw your murderous thugs from Ukraine, the fighting will stop.

Occupation brings far broader responsibilities under international law, including prohibiting the forced displacement of the occupied civilian population and much more. As I mentioned above, we can come back to these as they arise.
