  1. Thats a different question altogether I was simply stating the lifelong hatred I would feel against Israel and Israeli’s if I lived in Gaza and my family especially if it was my children wife siblings or parents were being killed or starved. As to your question I don’t think anyone would deny Israel has the the right to attack Hamas and hopefully destroy them completely. What I disagree with is the way and vastly disproportionate way they are doing it, to attack and destroy Hamas is one thing to kill maim and starve innocent people and children is another thing altogether. The last figures I have seen were more than 53,000 killed and 122,000 wounded mostly innocent women and children (one report recently stating more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead) There are about 2 million people in Gaza starving because of Israel's actions and them stopping all aid food and medicine from entering that must be a war crime. To bomb and destroy a hospital school or apartment block with hundreds of innocent people and children in it just because there is one or even a dozen of Hamas in or below it (another war crime) is abhorrent and despicable, obviously the Israeli’s feel if they can kill one Hamas terrorist it doesn’t matter how many innocent Palestinian’s die. A bigger question that must be asked and a solution found is why Hamas even exists why they attacked Israel and how can a lasting solution be found and implemented. The hatred unfortunatly will take generations to disappear that does not mean a solution cannot be found for a start one thing I feel is all the Israeli settlers must be removed from the West Bank.
  2. If I lived in Gaza and it was my family that was being killed or starved by Israel if I survived for the rest of my life there would be one thing on my mind ..........vengence revenge against Israel or even any Israeli I would go to any extreme even if it cost me my life. I feel sure there are many probably thousands in Gaza that feel exactly the same way.
  3. More importantly will it mean lower prices.
  4. I think you meant the EU is Britains closest trading partner 🙂
  5. Brexit is done finished it was very divisive now its time to move on make the most of it and try to repair the damage it has done. The Brexit vote whilst having a majority was far from decisive there are a lot of people now who feel they were conned.
  6. Unfortunately and reluctantly I have to agree with you France and the UK could share the technology with other European countries without extending its nuclear protection but at what cost. Nuclear weapons are probably the greatest curse threatening mankind today if they are ever used in earnest nowhere in the world will be safe. What I fear the most is if some terrorist organisation manages to get its hands on one.
  7. I wonder just how many here have actually studied the real history of the second or even the first world wars instead of learning it from mostly Hollywood fictional films albeit based on actual events.
  8. When I joined the British Army we were about 350,000 strong now it's lesss than a third of that in fact all three services are only about 180,000 successive governments have hollowed out all three services their always an easy target for cuts and cost savings until they are actually needed. The UK government now has stated an ambition to reach 3% of GDP in the next Parliament that is still far too low and late it needs to be now and at least 5%. I would also like to see some sort of conscription brought in even if it was only for say a choice of 6 months regular or 2 years reserve force It takes time to fully train men and a lot longer to build the ships planes tanks etc. and all the equipment they need. It's only through a position of strength we can deter aggression and maintain peace. I have one son in the Royal Navy and another in the Royal Marines so I admit to being biased, everyone apparently being expected to do more with less
  9. It wouldn't surprise me if the State Visit never happens no date has been fixed yet after all the King is not well (cancer) and it could just be pushed further back until Trump is no longer President.
  10. You would have made a great candidate for the Vietnam War unfortunately it's finished. P.S. You lost
  11. Wouldn't be any of Musk's relatives would it
  12. The Home Office’s asylum accommodation contracts A briefing by the National Audit Office SESSION 2024-25 7 MAY 2025 HC 874 "The Home Office originally estimated that the total cost of the AASCs would be £4.5 billion over their 10-year term. Since then, the number of people seeking asylum and being accommodated by the Home Office has increased significantly. In 2024‑25, the Home Office spent an estimated £1.7 billion on the AASCs, and its current estimate of total spend over 10 years is £15.3 billion." And thats just for their accommodation, if this government doesn't get it under control then Farage will win the next election. Personally I'm not against immigration but I am totally opposed to the thousands of illegal migrants arriving mostly by boats hundreds crossing the channel just about every day when the weather is good and then instead of being kicked out or locked up they are given a hotel. It's almost like there is a big sign in France "Cross the Channel in a boat go to England for a free all inclusive holiday everybody welcome."
  13. I dont think Starmer & Co. really understand what most people are so incensed about. It's illegal migrants it's the boats stupid! ---------- its the illegals that mostly arrive on boats or are intercepted in the Channel then brought ashore in Borderforce boats most of them appear to be fit healthy young men in their 20's or 30's who are then welcomed given hotel rooms food and money the hotel bill is now nearly £5 million a day. Until drastic measures are taken the boats will not stop. I'm not saying they should sink the boats as tempting as that may seem but they should at least be locked up until they are deported for illegal entry on RN boats or RAF planes if necessary. Tell the human rights lawyers and courts to get ferkin stuffed.
  14. Seeing as he spent 24 of the 100 days playing golf he obviously hasn't taken his part time job seriously yet.
  15. I thought he wanted to turn it into a Trump resort complete with hotel and casino
  16. How can it possibly be a "National Security Threat"
  17. He is being very discourteous and just proving to to world what an ill-mannered uncouth vulgar President the US has these days. Personally as an athiest the Pope's death has no effect on me at all but millions around the world are mourning and yet this insensitive heartless uncaring excuse for a man thinks its OK to make a joke of it.
  18. It's well known within the British Army Harry should never have been anywhere near Afganistan it was all a PR stunt to make him look good. He was never in any danger himself in fact he was well protected at all times and kept out of harms way,he was a liability he was a bad soldier and a bad officer good soldiers were putting their lives on the line protecting him it has been said that some died but I can't confirm that or even suspect its true though I wouldn't dismiss it entirely. He spent most of his time playing computer games in his bunker some of the nicknames he had were Captain Dimwit, Bunker Harry and X-Box Harry. Due to his Royal birth Harry was made Captain General of the Royal Marines. He turned down an invitation to the Royal Marines memorial service for veterans and to honor victims of an IRA bomb at the Royal Marines base in Deal, Kent in 1989 which was held on 14 July 2019. Instead he and his wife went to the Lion King premiere in London where he was caught on video hustling Bob Iger, Disney's CEO, for voiceover work for his wife. That's how much he respects the veterans, the people who protected him whilst he was on active service. His CO was fed up with him, he would tell the CO he was working for the family & then be seen partying & being "poured" into a taxi and was constantly reporting for duty late and drunk from the night before and stating that he had been attending a fictitious royal engagement the night before. I wasn't just alcohol either. Substance abuse is not normally tolerated by the military anyone else and it would be an immediate discharge. Finally he was given an ultimatum, shape up or ship out, he resigned. Harry's not a qualified helicopter pilot. In February 2009 Harry failed his first pilot theory test. The Army gave him extra tuition to try to ensure he passed on his second attempt - he didn't. He finally qualified as an Army Apache Co-pilot in February 2012 after trying - and failing - to pass the pilot examine for the third time and despite personal tuition. In July 2013 Harry was given the title of Apache Helicopter Commander by the Army and was allowed to take "overall" control of the helicopter during missions. In other words - despite all the years of personal tuition His Royal Thickness didn't pass the pilot's examination and is still not qualified to pilot a helicopter." He is an utter disgrace I would even call him a traitor to his family and his country as for who his father is its well known his mother had an affair with James Hewitt while she was married were there others I don't know but he certainly looks a lot more like Hewit than Charles. Don't be fooled by any propaganda about his so called "bravery" He spent more time training. He never served he was a liability. He is a spoiled little entitled brat who thinks he is more important than he is and has still not grown up so in spite of what he thinks he is not welcome or wanted.
  19. Only Native American Indians own America everyone else is an illegal migrant and should be deported to El Salvadore. Trump and the rest of the clowns in the White House could be on the first planes.
