They'll still have huge economic and military clout so I'm not entirely convinced but certainly trust has gone and everyone will be pricing that in going forward

You've kind of proved my point The world burns.. ..yet you accuse an ally of defending racism The uncontestable fact is there are many forms of Zionism from the highly malignant genocidal Israeli govt on Arguing about whether every manifestation is racist is unhelpful, even if true

The Greens Zionism motion is so politically naive Just when the s̶u̶m̶m̶e̶r̶ drought makes the central Green argument so much easier, it's let's argue about what an enormously contested word means and put people off 🤦

I heard him on radio as his spiritual adviser explaining how he had to pick Trump up on his 'fruity language' but it didn't seem to occur to him to challenge him on the incessant 9th Commandment violations of lying! Some adviser Could T sue him if he ends up in the hot place?

Perfect example of misuse of a text H uses it 2nd hand from a film that completely misreads it - it has absolutely nothing to do with military deployment Ironically it's a commissioning to prophesy doom on people who've abandoned God, justifying their judgment, as they will fail to listen

NO! The BBC should not be closed down... that is EXACTLY what the international press-barons want. It just needs its politically appointed directorate replaced with people who will uphold its original mission instead of pushing / both-sidesing far-right agendas and views of racists and deniers.

Something like 'transparency' being your absolute right to choose the nature of the challenge to a public body's decision process that doesn't fit your prejudice? eg Farage's by-election or Bridgen's right to know A-levels Hopelessly self-contradictory but then that isn't the point, as you say

Utterly nonsensical. No good science backs this up but a lot of data says it could be bad- inconveniece is a huge barrier that prevents people getting vax or completing full course so splitting vax up further will compound this. In a country where measles clearly now endemic this is utter insanity
