On the left, Passchendaele in WW1. On the right Bakhmut, 2022.

4 out of 5 posts by you on this page have been sniping at a poster rather than adding to the discussion.

Red hot pokers. ( The plants, not the tools of medieval regicide ).

There is video of Raab in front of a Commons Committee failing to answer questions on why he wants to reform sections 2&3 of the Human Rights Act. He is asked to give one example of a Legal case that shows the Act isn't working and justifies his legislation, but he can't. ( Article 2 is the right to life, Article 3 is freedom from torture and degrading treatment. The proposed reforms intend to prevent Courts interpreting the Law in a manner that is contrary to pervading Government opinion ).

Post script to the non-delivery posted above; When we went to check at the house where the parcel had been 'delivered' they were out, so we decided to wait until today to pick it up. This morning, just after 09:00 we received another email from EVRI saying our parcel would be delivered this morning, before 10:00 ! Sure enough, at 10:05 it arrived. Luckily we hadn't yet gone to the other house for a parcel that wasn't there.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63754212 "Rishi Sunak has been criticised for re-appointing Dominic Johnson as a trade minister 26 days after he was sacked. The Conservative donor and ex-business partner of MP Jacob Rees-Mogg was given a lifetime peerage so he could serve in Liz Truss's government, but was later dismissed by Mr Sunak." This is the man who last week said the Government ".......should be more honest with farmers about how trade deals could harm their businesses. He argued ministers should instead explain how agricultural businesses will be helped to transition their buildings into “offices or whatever it is.”"

We received an email from EVRI telling us it had been delivered to our "safe place". No photo, no card through the door. Contacted EVRI, got through to a bot - no use at all. Contacted the seller of the goods, they had received a photo confirming delivery, it showed a woman stood in a porch holding a box; did not show her head, or any feature identifying the house, only that she was wearing blue socks. Tried the neighbours on our left, not them . The house on our right is empty. Got back to the vendors, who did a bit more digging and found out it was apparently at #19, 3 houses away; no, not there either. Finally got a street view shot of where it was apparently "delivered" - 4 houses further up the road.

"Your parcel was delivered to the safe location at your address at 12:15". No it fucking wasn't. At 12:15 I was working in the front garden replacing a fence post, 3 feet from our front gate, and your courier did not turn up.

He could have gone to Turkey.

As an alternative to Rwanda, that is a tough choice.

Well, it isn't compulsory.

Where's MLG when you need him ?

All Muslims belive in Sharia law, it is part of the religious texts. Where things differ is in how Sharia is interpreted and implemented; many Muslim majority countries only apply the Sharia rules to family and domestic matters, leaving out all the stoning, amputation, and beheading bits. It can even be applied to Muslim marriage and divorce settlements in the UK, ( https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/08/01/british-court-recognises-sharia-law-landmark-divorce-case/ ).

I find it amusing when you get the situation that neither the BBC or ITV acknowledge the other's coverage. Yesterday ITV covered the teatime kick off, and as they got to the end of the program the presenter said that Belgium would soon be kicking off against Canada and viewers could catch up with that match just after midnight. ( As opposed to simply turning over to BBC1 ). With regard to the penalty this evening, Ronaldo did what Ronaldo has done all his career - fell over and conned the ref. Admittedly he is very good at it, but VAR should have overturned it.

There are gay Muslims already.

Currently watching Andor, the prequel series to Rogue One. A Star Wars story in which, having got to episode 6, there has been no mention of The Force or Jedi. Edit: end of episode 7 has the scenes filmed on Cleveleys sea front - I used to cycle to and from work along a Star Wars set.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63741465 "Business groups and unions are urging the government not to go ahead with plans to ditch a wide range of EU laws, warning the move could cause "confusion and disruption" in the UK. In a joint letter, groups including the Institute of Directors and the Trades Union Congress called on ministers to withdraw its Retained EU Law bill."

Longer version of the committee showing up just how out of her depth she is.......

And Luka stands furthest away from PutPut.

With all the pundits saying the players should go ahead and wear the protest armbands and damn the consequences, why don't they wear them in the studio ?

More video of that new Bayraktar drone that is being developed with Ukraine.....
