  1. Yep. At the same time though, they really haven't done their case any favours. Fucking moon men.
  2. There are more technical issues around these tomahawk missiles, apart from the concerns over escalation (or not). They can't simply be launched from anywhere, and need to have a lot of equipment with them. The Typohoon launcher is a relatively recent system that allows them to be launched from land, and America doesn't have many of them. Indeed it wasn't until Russia broke a treaty that America introduced a mechanism for it. Ukraine doesn't have the naval capacity for them, so their use isn't easy to set up anyway. I think the principle makes sense, and I don't buy the concerns over escalation: Germany overcame their concners, and Britain/France gave their cruise missiles soke time ago. Russia hasn't attacked NATO since. Nevertheless, there are a number of agreements between the US/UK and Ukraine with arms manufacturers setting up plant in the country, allowing the Ukrainians to make their own. Additionally, such is the advancement in drone technology in the war that Ukraine is superior to the states, and has data/experience to send the other way. There is far more going on than simply the donation of some cruise missiles that Ukraine would be restricted in use.
  3. Utd planned it yesterday, and it worked. Slot doing a Wenger and bitching about their approach was pathetic. Both teams had more chances, and it could have gone either way. Slot should look closer to home as to why it didn't go their way.
  4. The last sentence or two changes things a little for me. If he had been warned about going in between the two areas, hut continued to do so, and has therefore contravened regulations, then he's been daft. If he was questioned just for wearing his star of David, then they can get to fuck.
  5. Part of their punishment.
  6. Maybe it is what Hamas actually wanted- I said as much before. As per the previous swap of personnel, Hamas instantly broke the agreement. They knew full well what they were doing. Israel's response was to close the crossing to aid. Of course that makes Israel the total cunts in the eyes of so many- ignoring the deliberate, antagonism of Hamas.
  7. One slight problem there. You'll need to get a conviction first. VG's lawyers have expressed some interest in him possibly dropping his family in the shit during his car crash interview, but they haven't managed to do anything with it. If he has tried something illegal with the police, then that may represent to best way to get him to court. That would be over here though, and on a different charge. A conviction here may represent an opening for her lawyers, but I wouldn't hold my breath that he would see justice in a US court. Would they have to apply for extradition too?
  8. Islamic extremism is by definition antisemitic, as well as anti-western etc. Can't have one without the other.
  9. Absolutely. Trying to "identify and label" the people misses the point. Neville has alienated himself from some in his club, and some on a wider stage. It was inevitable that he'd get a backlash.
  10. They were objecting to the comments made by their owner. Neville fucked up, and has alienated himself amongst his fan base.
  11. Having read that, I think they have positioned themselves very well. Played the situation with a straight bat, and used the legal situation to side step any accusations. Very different to this.
  12. You're right they didn't do anything. I do wonder if that is still too lenient though: having an idea/talks is one thing, but once the weapons are made/acquired, then surely that's close enough to the real thing to give them longer. Was it just the effectiveness of the authorities that prevented their "success": dead people and longer sentences? Doesn't quite sit right.
  13. Can't argue with this hard line approach in general. He's very much a blunt instrument though, and some of his policies are bizarre and concerning.
  14. He certainly did know what he was doing. At the same time, I think the owner fucked up the relationship last year with his on-pitch intervention. It all went sour, and now it appears that Nuno saw the writing was on the wall with the owner being a bit of a tool.
  15. Booted off at Salford with anti-Neville pitch invasion.
  16. Contrary to that, Christie wouldn't have been so weak and let their goal scorer get free for an unmarked header. Or alternatively, we don't know what the presence of the other would have or wouldn't have achieved.
  17. With it not being safe, presumably the authorities will ban home supporters from attending...
  18. There was/is a clip showing Hamas supposedly executing three blokes. Dunno if it's recent, accurate etc, but it isn't pleasant.
  19. We could have sold more, and they had room. Very different to what we're doing with Bradford.
  20. Wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall in the discussion room. Labour PM and colleagues telling Labour Council, Labour mayor, and Labour Police and crime Commissioner to change it. A heated debate maybe?
  21. "The Don" has promised to disarm them, if they don't do it themselves. We'll see.
  22. Directors of lived experience? May as well.
  23. Good to have him doing it, though some immediate sackings for overt antisemitism, clearly reported, would have helped. I presume those nurses that put the Jewish lad on the floor were dismissed, but can't say I remember a single report saying so.
  24. It makes financial sense if we can't shift them ourselves. It doesn't if we can.
  25. Living in a time warp!
