“poorly designed” is perhaps the weirdest complaint I’ve ever heard about London - those pesky Romans should’ve had a better vision for the city rather than the jumbled mess we have 2,000 years later.

Here’s the thing: the Zionist movement (as opposed to Jews, generally) has the stated aim of “removing” the current population of Palestine and refilling it with people of a different ethnoculture. The only thing that all Palestinians can currently agree on is that the Zionist policy of Lebensraum (yeah - I said it) must be stopped. Some people only have the clothes on their back and the rubble under their feet. At that point you’ll join with anybody to remove the genocidal apartheid yoke of the oppressor. The inevitable infighting can wait until the external aggressor is defeated. A complete human tragedy for millions is the result. Both sets of lunatic religious extremists making misery for the people in the middle.
No. I think .ml is becoming some kind of bogey man. At the end of the day I think any instance is gonna have its own slant and bias; which isn’t a problem for me, personally.
Yeah - I enjoyed witnessing that interaction too. Nice.
That looks very much like the classic totally unverifiable headline that has bought modern news media a terrible name… btw you’ve got a fantastic user name for this topic.
Justify? Probably not. Explain? Most definitely. The state of Israel is the only thing that benefits from Hamas.
Am I twelve? No. I’m nearly fifty and for almost thirty years have lost friends and colleagues to Hamas scum… not sure why you’d ever think I’d support genocidal religious extremists. My original point still stands - because that is the general consensus amongst all the refugees I’ve dealt with. Maybe you’ve dealt with different parts of the strip where attitudes might be different?
Imagine being bullied and humiliated every single day of your life… then somebody gives that bully a black eye. That person would be your hero.
Speaking of optics: Did Israel mention why he was in battle fatigues? I was given the impression that he’d be dressed as a doctor / ambulance driver / UN worker etc but he looks suspiciously like a soldier.
Geo-blocked… but it’s on iplayer so will try and get that working instead. I’ve been told US / commercial-station versions sometimes miss out the band. Don’t know if is true - but looking forward to seeing Dexy’s on this episode. I have a copy of Protect and Survive. 50p cost and a foreword dated May, 1980. Page 24: “If a death occurs while you are confined to the fall-out room place the body in another room and cover it as securely as possible. Attach an identification.”
When the Wind Blows is a perfect response to Protect and Survive… I simply never connected the dots as a kid. I don’t know about the Young Ones getting in on the act. Gonna have a look for that later. Every now and again I stop to think whether it might’ve been best if someone had pushed the button and called time on the eighties - and humanity as we know it. I can’t believe we dodged the nuclear apocalypse (so far) and still ended-up squabbling and artificially divided.
In 1984 Frankie Goes To Hollywood released their single Two Tribes. It’s about that perennial eighties trope of the imminent planet-ending nuclear apocalypse we were all hanging about for at the time. The track and remixes contain spoken samples from at least two UK government publications regarding what to do when the bombs came - it mentions id-ing corpses in a similar manner. There was a booklet sent out to every house, from the government, called “Protect and Survive” It’s hilariously optimistic about my chances of survival.
I really miss the flashing LED from my BlackBerry Z30 - so long ago.
I’m not a fan either. Rewatched Trainspotting a year or two ago - much better than I remembered. Enjoyed Shallow Grave and 28 Days at the time. The rest I ain’t seen. Tried to watch the Beach but bailed after 20 minutes. Absolute junk.
I personally don’t think Danny Boyle is struggling for attention; one of his films won eight Oscars. I think people in film world know who he is.
Because of the camera they used? Really?
Exactly. He may well be rich relative to a poor person but in the scheme of overall wealth hoarding he’s not even a blip on the radar. The reason he got the sentence he got is nothing to do with his assets. It would be glib to suggest otherwise.
Huw Edwards may - or may not - be many things but rich is not one of them. He was a television news anchor on the BBC. A bang-average Premier League footballer could easily out earn him.
The fact that raping animals is illegal is not the reason I don’t rape animals. If the only thing stopping you from committing horrific crimes is a belief in the sky man then I suggest you remove yourself from the general population (become a hermit) so us normal people don’t have to worry about you losing faith in your invisible friend and going berserk at a petting zoo.
