Well done Whelk. The Usual Suspects have adopted you as one of their own. Good work.

Democracy threat in Israel? https://amp.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jul/21/draft-israeli-law-to-limit-academic-speech-labelled-mccarthyite

Great news! It’s a shame that he didn’t pull out earlier but he has finally done the right thing. Hopefully, if it is Kamala Harris, she will fight a Starmer campaign and present as dull but solid and let the batshit craziness surrounding Trump do it’s work.

I hope that they cleared it with the CoT first? Good luck to Che. Italian football might suit him more.

As, I assume, a God fearing man, I wonder how Netanyahu feels that God will judge his actions when he passes on? https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240718-netanyahu-blocks-field-hospital-for-gaza-children-amid-israel-war/amp/ (Happy now Whelk?).

Just staggering how inept the security forces were. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-rally-shooter-drone-b2583103.html Apparently it was decided not to place marksmen on the roof that the shooter used because of health and safety concerns over the pitch. The pitch of the roof where the security guy was stationed who shot the shooter was steeper. Go figure.

You posted a news story without offering an opinion on it yourself. You just posted what the story was about. Wasn’t that “pointless” too in your opinion? You are just desperate to have a pop, not unlike some of the other WUMs here.

So that they can be discussed. 🙄

So he took a bullet for democracy but still doesn’t accept that he was democratically voted out last time? https://news.sky.com/video/donald-trump-says-he-took-a-bullet-for-democracy-in-campaign-rally-speech-13182624

According to the Echo he was offered a contract but turned it down.

The judge who sentenced the protesters to prison also let a convicted police office free from prison for a charge of rape, on appeal. Not because he found him not guilty, but in order “to bring this whole sorry mess to an end.” What a great guy eh? Sexually assault a woman and it is a “sorry mess.” Try and do something about the future of the planet and you get banged up for 5 years. If you think that’s ok, do you think future generations will think of you as a great guy, or just a selfish, myopic twat?

I don’t know, but they managed to apply sanctions to Russia. This is the first time that the court has ruled that the occupation is illegal. It is a big step forward.

Are you going to go through all of them?

Exactly. Which is why the UN should stop faffing around and take action.

You can get 4 years for rape.

According to the fact checkers, Trump told 22 lies in his Republican nomination acceptance speech. So much for being a changed man. Here are some of them. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/18/trump-rnc-fact-check God saved him so that he could carry on talking shit?

The new minister for prisons tells us that a third of inmates shouldn’t be there and now a judge locks up peaceful protesters for 5 years at precisely the time we are looking to let offenders out early because our prisons are at bursting point. 5 years for peaceful protest? Insane.

Not sure that is the case here, but it is certainly a huge wake up call and gives a taste of the effects of a full blown cyber attack on the country.

All social media platforms have ignore/blocking functions. Should they all be removed then as the users should just ignore content they don’t want?

Who will become the Trump Brownnoser-in-Chief for the UK? https://www.politico.eu/article/boris-johnson-nigel-farage-donald-trump-liz-truss-britain-united-states-republican-national-conference/

It was said recently that it would end for Biden when Obama and Clinton told him it was time to go. He himself said he would stand down on medical advice which gives him the option to bow out without losing face. Please do Joe.
