I'm glad I couldn't get a stream to work. Disappointing afternoon.

Not ideal. I haven't got one to work at all.

What's that gotta do with remembrance day?

That doesn't suggest that anyone wants to disrupt remembrance events. The organisers have said that they're liaising with the met over routes, and will stay away from the cenotaph area. People are jumping on the Sunak and Douglas Murray bandwagon. Indeed, people like Murray ain't helping by calling the protesters "Hamas supporters". It won't be long before the government follow suit.

Nice. Very happy with that. I like Bree at LB. He gives Sulemana freedom to do his thing down the left, ditto KWP down the right. I fancy a comfortable 3-1 today. S Armstrong, A Armstrong, and Alcaraz.

Why is it obvious that people protesting for Palestine want to disrupt remembrance? They're gathering to call for peace. Sure, there'll be some nonsense and disruption from some idiots, but what makes you believe that's the intention/tactic?

Them being settled is a fair point. What they have in depth I don't know, but hopefully it's not enough!

Agreed. I'd have been om with Winks, but I'm delighted with Downes. Very good player. There's no way that our squad should be behind Ipswich. Management and coaching are making them over achieve, and us under achieve.

Once again we'll agree to differ. You remember how you choose to, I'll do what I choose to, and these people will do what they choose to. You'll be as impacted by it as I will. The police will have the job of preventing direct impact in London.

Thanks - my misunderstanding. Apologies.

I'll remember in the Romsey memorial park as always. Plenty of others won't venture out, but will remember. Others won't remember at all. Some will be protesting. Some will be shopping, going to the gym, etc. That's their choice - they don't have to remember. Plenty of people choose not to remember. Going on a protest is no more disrespectful than choosing to do something else other than remember. My remembering is not diminished by anyone else not remembering. Nor is anyone else's. If the protests directly impact on remembrance that's an entirely different issue. If they don't, there is no issue.

You seem to be struggling to separate Hamas and the Palestinian people.

He'll get a brief run out against WBA I suspect. Then something behind closed doors during the international break, and step up his return after that. Good to see him back. And score.

Agreed. A day out it football isn't the same since I stopped drinking. A few beers before the game, a couple in the middle, and a few after were a big part of the day out.

Hypo feels that there's nothing to protest against. Some may feel that there's something rather poignant about protesting about an ongoing war on a day when we remember those who passed in wars gone by. The issue is how people protest, but that's for the police to address, not a reason to not protest.

If the protest was against what we're remembering I'd agree. The protest is against an ongoing war, on a day when we remember people who perished in wars. Allow people to remember, and allow people to protest. The two can happen without detriment to the other.

I'm not sure they could. Comments like "there is a clear and present risk that the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated" are knee jerk. His "provocative" comment also feels rather provocative. Keep the protests away from areas where remembrance stuff will be happening, have a proper police presence, deal with any unlawful behaviour.

Plus there's different translations. Whatever, Hamas have changed their tune (or shown true colours) since then. Their actions on 7/10 were abhorrent, and we find ourselves where we do.

"Frustrate" is not my interpretation. It's what it says. "Kill" is your interpretation I posted above a link to the charter, with commentary, produced by the Israeli intelligence and information centre way back in 2006. I also posted a link to another take on it from an Israeli government organisation. Neither of them agree with you.

Where they can live in misery. At its simplest, a document that says that it wants Jews to live somewhere, and to live in misery, cannot possibly want them all dead, the two positions are incompatible... especially when it doesn't say that it wants them dead. Cue another confused emoji from the easily confused.

. Read back the quote that you're addressing. You misunderstand and misquote what it says and means The last bit you quoted has nothing to do with Hamas actions. They are referring to Zionist expansion, and say "Hamas is calling upon the Arab and Islamic peoples to act seriously and tirelessly in order to frustrate that dreadful scheme". How anyone can misread a clear wish to "frustrate" the Zionist expansion (something we see daily in the west bank) as a call to kill all Jews, wherever they may be, I do not know.

Ha!! I missed the part where anyone said that Hamas are sweetness and light. Try harder Whelk. The ability is there.

Do what then? Fuck all, and carry on as we have been for the last 50 + years? Doesn't sound like much of a plan. I can't believe that anyone genuinely thinks there'd be more trouble if the Palestinians and Israelis lived in adjacent states rather than the Palestinians living as they are in the west bank. Seems pretty obvious that things would improve.
