You are a legal expert and those advising the Met are not ?

Much better than them 😉

I once played right back in a footy match at Deepdale.

America (Fuck yeah !)

The Met seem to have decided that nothing of that sort was going on.

What do you expect them to do when nobody is breaking the Law ? Both Blair and Cameron backed down from declaring Hizb-ut-Tahrir a proscribed organisation.

Technically the first point is true, the second is not. Hamas' declaration is that the state of Israel is an abomination because any land that has at some point been controlled by Islam is Islamic in perpetuity. Therefore the lands currently defined as the state of Israel are legitimately part of historic Islamic Palestine. However, they also state that "Under the wing of Islam, it is possible for the followers of the three religions - Islam, Christianity and Judaism - to coexist in peace and quiet with each other. Peace and quiet would not be possible except under the wing of Islam. Past and present history are the best witness to that." They recognise that whilst Islam is the one true faith, Christianity and Judaism are brother religions, the roots from which the true interpretation of Allah's teachings grew.

It was an ironic post aimed at the recurring exchanges on here between you and SOG. If Reform helps to bring about a truly proportional electoral system, bring it on.

So much that affects the country is out of the Government's control that whoever is in power only dances around the fringes. Wild swings from one margin to the other can never deliver. There are a few concessions to pander to their party faithful, but in general Manifestos are less a to-do list and more a 'would be nice to, but........ '. Electing a Government is any way more about the personalities and morality than the policies.

So would Israel be justified in completely wiping out the population of Gaza ? That would certainly remove the problem. Given that all a prolonged military response ultimately delivers is the next generation of terrorists, there has to be a limit.

The books that are transliterations of oral history and translated to suit a particular interpretation. Completely free of human error or bias. Exactly like the various versions of the Bible.

No. Your justification is that "the Palestinian people" voted for Hamas. There has not been an election in the Gaza Strip since 2006. However I will retract the point about "free and fair", and in it's place add this: in the aftermath of the 2006 election across Palestinian Territory, in which Hamas won the largest share of the vote, most of the elected members of the Hamas Government were detained by the Israelis. A few months later Hamas declared that they had unilaterally taken control of the Gaza Strip, something that the Israeli security services were glad to see because they could then treat Gaza as hostile territory, and towards which they they could dismiss any agreed peace or cooperation agreements. I ask again, how many dead Palestinian women and children balance the toll of Hamas' attack ?

Hamas were not elected by the people of the West Bank. Also, do you really believe that the 'election' that brought them to power was free and fair ?

No, 'one side' does not. Hamas does. Hamas are not the Palestinian people, and only have political control over the Gaza Strip.

Went to Morecambe's old ground when Sir Bobby opened the stand that had been named in his honour - Dave Jones brought Saints up for a game to commemorate the occasion. MLT and Bobby Charlton at the same game, our sons were very happy.

( I think you have put in one too many zeros ). 1300 Israelis killed, and current estimates are over 5000 Palestinians - has the price been paid yet ? How many more women and children are Israel jutified in killing before the butcher's bill has been redeemed ? 75 years on and they are still at each other's throats.

Why can't people show aupport for the Palestinians and the way they are treated, and have been for decades, whilst at the same time comdemning, quite rightly, the Hamas terrorism ? Putting Gaza aside, are you aware of the conditions on the West Bank ? Of the shootings and beatings perpetrated by Israeli settlers from illegal settlements, and the forcing of farmers off their family land, that the Israeli Police and Army, charged with maintaining security and Law and Order, do nothing to stop - quite often they simply stand by and watch as the violence unfolds. This is not a black and white picture. Since Oct 7th far more Palestinians have died than Israelis killed in the attacks.

Before the kick off my wife asked me and our son for predictions - he said "South Africa take the lead in the 78th minute".

Isn't our Adams replacement currently recovering from injury and back in training ?

Would you buy a used car from this man ?

Trumps

Perhaps the Palestinian air force can bomb some Israeli schools and hospitals in reprisal.

England likely to lose to SA in World Cups twice tomorrow - Rugby and cricket.

Mike Ashley, who already owns Evans Cycles and ProBikeKit, is waiting in the wings.
