What’s morally wrong, let alone illegal, about selling inflatable boats to people who want to buy inflatable boats?

I wish you’d make your mind up Nick, you’re all over the place. One minute you are telling us Israel needs to expand, the next it’s about security. Israel has internationally recognized borders, this is a land grab beyond those borders. Bulldozing the homes of the people on this land outside of Israel’s borders, disposing them of their land and expelling them from it is ethnic cleansing. https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/gazas-perimeter-death-zone/ https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7501560

Fine, bulldoze houses and dispossess the occupants within Israel’s own borders.

Israel has internationally recognized borders. This is a land grab and ethnic cleansing beyond those borders.

Tesla profits have dropped 71%. Not much ‘Go woke, go broke’ about that. FOFA phase 2 kicked in. https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/22/tesla-profits-drop-71-on-weak-sales-and-anti-elon-musk-sentiment/

The guy who scammed students at his own ‘Trump University’ before it went bankrupt telling one of the most prestigious universities on the planet how it should be run. The crass stupidity is astounding.

Courts do sometimes get it wrong and I’m sure confessions are occasionally obtained under duress. That’s not evidence that this was the case in this particular conviction. Lucy has the right to appeal.

Thank you for your opinion. The court disagreed.

Yeh righty-o. Let’s start with why Murray needs to make any statement at all about Dave Smith’s ancestry?

Different cases, different courts, different circumstances. But let’s start with some honesty, the actual charges, in many cases confessed and convicted crimes. Court records are always a good place to start.

I wonder if those expressing concern for the safety of refugees using these Chinese made inflatable boats would back opening of safe travel routes for refugees via ferry and/or channel tunnel trains?

But but but …whatabout

Yep, online hate mongering, encouraging others to burn a hotel with people inside. Check the court records for the facts.

Those market forces the rightwing worship are, we are told, never wrong.

Here’s how badly it went for Murray and how much he knows it. Having humiliated himself oh the Joe Rogan show and been well and truly owned by Dave Smith he went running to the NYP where he had this to say: “Claiming some Jewish ancestry, he [Dave Smith] has spent the 18 months since Oct. 7, 2023, being very unfunny indeed. Specifically, he has decided to spend his time going around the podcast world sounding off about Israel.” Let’s be very clear about this, Dave Smith isn’t ‘Claiming some Jewish ancestry’, Dave Smith is Jewish, both his parents are Jewish, he’s the grandson of a Holocaust survivor. This here is Murray’s “intellectualism”, a snide antisemitic innuendo aimed at a guy who owned him on live stream, so he goes off line and writes stuff he would never dare say to Dave Smith’s face. I can’t say I look forward to hearing the defense offered up for this disgraceful behavior. https://nypost.com/2025/04/17/opinion/douglas-murray-so-called-israel-hamas-ukraine-war-experts-spew-false-info-on-joe-rogans-podcast-there-has-to-be-a-standard/

Refer my first post in this thread.

And… get ready for it…

It’s not simply a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. Murray did a 180Degree about face on his own longstanding points of view in an attempt to shut Smith down. In doing so he displayed utter intellectual dishonesty. Now all you have to do is decide which of his ‘educated opinions’ you agree with, those he expresses today or the completely contradictory ones he’ll switch to when he needs to shut down someone who disagrees with him?!

There’s a clue in the OP Jonny, it’s nothing to do with Bangkok or the Thai Government.

Once again here is my criticism of Wasinger’s departure from reality, let’s see if you have a counter argument that goes beyond you objecting to me expressing my opinions about Wasinger’s opinions: Give it a go: That’s the thing about opinions, they are often speculative which is not quite the same thing as contradictory to observable reality. By example Wasinger offers up this: “For years, their [the alleged elites] authority went unchallenged. Now, Trump’s refusal to play by their rules has prompted a furious reaction. Rather than face the real issue—the exposure of their own overreach—they accuse him of authoritarianism and claim he poses a threat to democratic norms. The irony, as many have noted, is almost too much to bear.” I’m almost certain Wasinger has read the Constitution and therefore don’t accept his feigned ignorance of the duty of the Legislative and Judicial branches of Government to hold the Executive in check, let alone the Constitutionally protected rights of citizens and the media to protest the actions of a President who, by rulings of the SCOTUS is overreaching his authority under the Constitution. This from a right biased SCOTUS in which three justices are Trump’s own appointees. I do agree with Wasinger on one point, ‘The irony is almost to much to bear’.

Even after truncating my post to remove it’s full context you still failed to find an argument to address the lint I made.

Feel free to challenge the point I made in the post you just responded to.

I have acknowledged it, it’s an opinion piece written by a self styled ‘arch right winger’ and failed GOP candidate for office.
