Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Are they buying out the Liberal party?

They wouldnt need £50b for that Fred: 50p more like.

Project One Movement sounds like a front for the €U.

Yeah that was my first thought too.

Never mind , they're at least two years too late for that.

Dil,

Are you sure?


You remind me of this cartoon.

No comment Fred on the Nu Macron party?

I await enlightenment from you, Dil and Manuel.

When you shine it will ease my path.

But I often wonder the real goals of various "political" leaders, adherents and hangers-on of your ilk are.

I don't suppose you really know yourselves.

corbyn asks with considerable justification why there has been no condemnation of the isareli go'vt's murderous response to the palestinian (extreme) provocation in gaza

though there is no doubt that the palestinians were pushing and pushing against known boundaries in the full knowledge and intent that there would ultimately be an extreme response, as far as i can determine, there was no reason why israeli troops should have reacted with live ammunition to kill rather than merely to deter and disperse

water cannon, tear gas and even rubber bullets are all nasty in their own ways, but still fall way short of shooting to kill

whether or not these "non lethal" deterrents would have had the desired effect is open to question, but nevertheless .....

Almost as bad as poisoning or allowing people to die of starvation.

Strange old world.

Civilisation at its best!

as an aside to the above, i wonder of corbyn also condemned yesterday's gas attack by assad ..... purely incidental of course that russia backs assad in a conflict where all sides are baddies

Another gas attack .. urgent UN meetings, condemnation etc etc.

Cui Bono?

fred - so did corbyn also condemn the gas attack by assad? ..... purely incidental of course that russia backs assad in a conflict where all sides are baddies

Don't know.

Haven't spoken with him recently!

i don't recollect seeing anything to the effect that corbyn did, which i find very remiss of him

Tut tut!

Its all noise but nothing changes, and all parties concerned let the suffering continue. The war games seem to be part and parcel of the world powers posturing, while they buy weapons and ammunition, and kill large numbers well away from their shores.

How long will it be before we see another world war?

corbyn is fast enough to castigate the israelis when they shoot some palestinians

on the other hand, the russian puppet assad gassing an awful lot of innocent civilians clearly gives corbyn no concern at all

It is called examining the evidence before shooting one's mouth off.

so you think there is little or no evidence of assad's airforce dropping chlorine and other gases on Douma civilians?

you think all the medics lied perhaps?

do you still think the poisoning of the skripals was nothing to do with the russians?

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Having suspicions about an action or an event is not proof of the initiators of such.

Having beliefs, false or otherwise. and propagating them does not appeal to me, but it is obvious such is often good enough for you, as long as it helps your cause.

If that is your modus operandi, so be it.

Also, remember wars are often started by the same often greedy fools who propagate the false information.

I prefer to await further findings.

But, for Maybe, it seems it is a diversion from Brexit, the consequences of which may lead to the deaths of thousands.
