Bree is actually shorter than Manning 👍

I simply don’t believe you.

Compared to the screeching from the Spitty Scouse on the other side he’s a breath of fresh air.

It’s pretty difficult to take any side in this, apart from that of the innocent people of Palestine and Israel who are bearing the brunt of repugnant acts from Hamas and the Israeli government.

Exactly. CNN’s report on it is pretty well defined on what is considered the likely cause, given the bulk of forensic evidence already analysed. The only other thing I’ve seen providing any sort of ‘forensic’ rebuke of the general thinking is the Channel 4 link provided yesterday, and even that doesn’t debunk the general analysis of where the rocket took off from. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/21/middleeast/cnn-investigates-forensic-analysis-gaza-hospital-blast/index.html An Al Jazeera camera, located in western Gaza and facing east, was broadcasting live on the channel at 6:59 p.m. local time on Tuesday night, according to the timestamp. The footage appears to show a rocket fired from Gaza traveling in an upwards trajectory before reversing direction and exploding, leaving a brief, bright streak of light in the night sky above Gaza City. Just moments later, two blasts are visible on the ground, including one at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital. By verifying the position of the camera, CNN was able to determine that the rocket was fired from an area south of Gaza City. CNN geolocated the hospital blast by referencing nearby buildings just west of the complex. Footage taken from a webcam in Tel Aviv pointing south towards Gaza, that CNN synched with the Al Jazeera live feed, shows a volley of rockets from Gaza shortly before the blast. Several weapons experts told CNN that the Al Jazeera video appeared to show a rocket burning out in the sky before crashing into the hospital grounds, but that they could not say with certainty that the two incidents were linked – due to the challenges of calculating the trajectory of a rocket that had failed or changed course mid-flight. “I believe this happened – a rocket malfunctioned, and it didn’t come down in one piece. It’s likely it fell apart mid-air for some reason and the body of the rocket crashed into the car park. There, the fuel remnants caught fire and ignited cars and other fuel at the hospital, causing the big explosion we saw,” Markus Schiller, a Europe-based missile expert who has worked on analysis for NATO and the European Union, told CNN. “But it’s impossible for me to confirm. If a rocket malfunctioned… it is impossible to predict its flight path and behavior, so I wouldn’t be able to draw on usual analysis drawing on altitude, flight path and the burn time,” he added.

Me neither tbf. Apart from that it’s apparently a relief that the police didn’t take the knee.

Give him a slap for me 👍

I think he gets it, he just for some reason seems to prefer using ‘Jews’ or ‘Jewish’ when talking about Israeli people and/or the Israeli government. As he said earlier on this page: “When I talk about what is happening in the Middle East I assumed that most people would understand that I was talking about the Israeli state rather than Jewish people as individuals.” I mean, personally I don’t quite understand why anyone would carry on conflating the two terms. Especially when it’s been pointed out on numerous occasions. Maybe he just likes saying the word Jew, I don’t know.

Winning all the stats 😎

🤣

Fair play to Bad Wolf, absolutely storming the straw man bingo this week.

11 out of 12, so close to a perfect record.

That song is years old and the original was quite a good ditty tbf (he fucked off Leicester for Manchester).

Just a warm up game for the final for NZ. Same for SA tomorrow.

On the booze again eh Sue?! Cor, what are you like?! 🤪

Knowing our fuckwits it would end up as: ooh Pompey do you know what he’s worth, Ross Stewart is the best on earth. The Loch Ness drogba is just what we need, he loves scoring and he hates Pompey.

You weren’t the first and you most likely won’t be the last.

A grilling? He shouldn’t be even considering an official meeting with a fringe group of lunatics. 1922 don’t represent Tory policy, they represent backbenchers.

I don’t know what this is, but it’s not rocket science.

Decent game I thought. Noticeably lower quality than the other three QFs but still thoroughly enjoyable.

Absolute waste of time of a game, that. Just a reserves jog about.

Most of the time I think Gramps is just on the wum. Whatever, his responses do make me laugh at their sheer absurdity.

Well yes it’s of course possible, but using a bigoted racist twat in an argument against marches to protest about an absolute carpet bombing of innocents perhaps isn’t the best counter point.
