Jonny, as a Spurs fan since attending my first Spurs game when I was ten years old. I’m perfectly aware of the history of the Spurs and their connection to London’s Jewish community and have often enjoyed joining other Spurs fans in encouraging the players with our unique fans chant. I don’t have a Palestinian flag, nor do I have an ‘Anti-Israel’ stance. I do cheer my team, but I don’t turn a blind eye to their failings.

I’m not sure you are helping Jonny out:

No, the court ruling determines the law. Bless.

I’m a Spurs fan, which is quite enough of a burden thank you.

Who said anything about being gay? Oh you did.

Once again demonstrating the rightwing fixation with transgender women while ignoring transgender men. Its a thing.

Ofcom have done no such thing. The Supreme Court did not rule transgender people don’t exist, which would be in any case counter factual. Transgender people do exist, they have views and the right to express their views.

Well I would agree few blokes on this forum make more noise about transgender people than you Jonny. I say live and let live , don’t you agree?

And who gets to determine if their views are expressed correctly? Maybe the rightwing should restrict their time ranting about transgender people to your suggested 1%, you keep the matter in proportion. Don’t to agree?

Can you point out the bit in the court ruling that states trans views shall not be broadcast?

Refreshing to once again have a PM who abides by court rulings, don’t you agree?

The court ruling does not address the expression of trans views.

The OP is based on an article from the rightwing press. Which kind of demonstrates my point, don’t you think?

I’ve only ever referred to ‘trans women’ as ‘trans women’ it do wonder why the rightwing are so fixated on ‘trans women’ while almost completely ignoring ‘trans men’. Perhaps they feel personally threatened by ‘trans women’.

So if trans people don’t exist why do you lay in bed feverishly thinking about them?

Trans people exist, they have views, allowing them to express their views is not political, it’s simply not denying them the rights others enjoy.

All of a sudden you want Ofcom to ban views you don’t like hearing.

Obviously not something that will get him elected. But then again….

What brought you to Thailand I wonder?

Quit fretting, if your self inflicted angst over Mamdani being the extremist demon you imagine has any basis in reality he’ll not be elected. On the other hand….

Never say never. There are only two prerequisite conditions that open the door to any religion gaining power and control in the United States. 1. Remove the separation between religion and state. 2. Place the Preside t above the law. Once those two steps are taken it’s only a question of which particular religion gets control of the President and thereby the nation. If you don’t want a theocracy, don’t take steps 1 and 2. If you want a theocracy and do take steps 1 and 2, be aware the religion that takes control might not be the one you had in mind.

I’m not at all sure what reasonable explanation there is for such reported obscenity. As the linked article states the Israeli military prosecutor's office is investigating whether war crimes may have been committed in connection with shots fired at Palestinians near aid centres in the Gaza Strip. If the Haaretz report is true then it’s a little more than ‘shots fired’: “The Haaretz report said according to soldiers and officers in Gaza, "the army has deliberately fired at Palestinians near aid distribution sites." Soldiers fire on people to keep them away from the centres before they open, the report said. "It's a killing field," said a member of the army who had been there himself. "They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars." https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/report-israel-probes-for-war-crimes-over-gaza-aid-centre-shootings/ar-AA1HyRfo?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=38010710a4314dd5ec223df0b1bafe2f&ei=6

Once again you parade your ignorance.

Thank you, I appreciate you recognizing my finer qualities.

Yes, Governments did abandon free markets. Adherence to free markets would have required letting banks fail and the economy collapse (re-adjust) without intervention from central banks.
