You are talking nonsense. I expected a better standard from you.. this issue has been endlessly debated and progress is endlessly distant. If change is ever going to happen, initial steps need to be taken, not clever-sounding rhetoric. Whatever it takes, the genocide must be stopped.

Re read your earlier post Alex. The bit about Uk progressives and South Africa. I understood you to say something along the lines of “if you think you changed anything in SA by protesting in the UK, you are delusional”. Which would mean you don’t believe we can do anything to change the future

Absolutely, Pete. I was responding to the suggestion that world trade sanctions and boycotts had no effect on the changes, which I believe they did by moving the Overton window through political lobbying. The sacrifices made were all South African and I’m sorry if I did not make that apparent

I would imagine that Peter Hain, Glenys Kinnock, Hugh Gaitskell and Bernie Grant to name but few, would disagree. If people cannot force political change then we are mere sheep. And you, Alex, you are the sheep telling us the fence is too high to jump over, and too strong to push over.

So by your reasoning we should just leave them to finish the job? And by that example, we should have left accepted South Africa as an apartheid state? I have read your pieces for a few years Alex but here you sound like you have given up trying anymore.

Direct? Confrontational? Unambiguous? I don’t know and I’m not a Green Party member nor have I anything to do with their policies. But I think this approach will send a message and it will attract youth interest as they just see people arguing and getting nowhere.

How do you get to “self congratulation” Craig? As to “how”, we haven’t really got very far with a solution in the last 60-80 years, so a more direct approach may help.

It’s a positive step Alex. I’m interested to know how you would do things differently.. bring the Middle East bully into the room and give it a stern talking to, throw in a trade sanction then leave them to it again? Arn’t we tired of talking but not saying anything that brings change?

How easy it was for “think tanks” to persuade the Media and therefore politicians to scrap the triple lock. Next massive cuts to benefits all for the satisfaction of neoliberal dogma. Labour wont change the status quo and therefore will repeat the failures of the last successive governments.

There is definitely mass msn influence towards attacking the pensions triple lock. The guardian happily obliges in dragging the Overton window of normalisation towards acceptability of this. Our state pensions are low, and pensioners are some of the most vulnerable in society.

It’s easy to convince the masses that they need to give billions to rich arms manufacturers to maintain the never ending wars. If only there was similar consensus for social care and trade relationships

That’s great Charles. You just need to keep the pressure on your political system to allow other cultures to exist, then we can all enjoy each others music. Good effort 👍

So Lebanese govt has sold the south of its country to Israel for a paltry 100m dollars and turned its back on all the horrors israel has inflicted on its people and those from Palestine. The US gets to temporary peace for domestic reasons, israel grabs more land… what do the Lebanese people get?

Just different shades of the same. US politics is owned and they won’t let go.

If there are any positives to this, at least seeing how councils are managed prior to the Westminster election should put some voters off.

What he is actually saying is that the Labour Party always puts the interests of the Labour Party before the national interest

Does he mean the UK’s or Israel’s when he says “our interests”?

Does make me wonder if this was planned. Create more refugees who cannot be removed from UK, grow a single issue party dedicated to shouting about refugees and encourage the not so informed pop to hate them in the cause of nationalism… pretty cynical if so.

Ridiculous comment. So you think a liar and/or man with serious misjudgement issues shouldn’t be replaced as leader of a UK Govt because it makes the party look bad? Behold the morally bankrupt Labour voter.

I have been a sole trader for 10 years but will stop working after this financial year due to the roll out of this new system. It’s just not worth the hassle

Does that mean 14% of all people are in the files? I mean, why wouldn’t you want to see them released if you are guiltless? 🤷‍♂️

Just to be clear then, the US has had its arse handed to it by Iran after they outplayed and out fought them, and it is now looking for easy wins (preferably unarmed and unprepared) to prove to the world it is the hard man of the Middle East. Did I get that right?

How long have we listened to politicians telling us there is a “special relationship” with US? That israel is a stable democracy? That we all owe them a debt from 100 years ago so they can act as they please? This needs to stop. Any govt ministers with funding from israel should be removed. Now!

Why what? Why are the lives of Palestinians and Lebanese not of value? Why all the fuss over a few clapped out ambulances heading for the scrap heap, in all probability torched for either insurance fraud or Israeli false flag? And why does this involve an American? 🤷‍♂️

The west has been cowardly by not acting as conscience and morality require over the genocide of Palestinians. We know that already. But to actively assist the evil coalition of Israel and US against a nation which was not aggressive is both criminal and unforgivable. People need to protest this…

When this illegal and immoral war is concluded, we need to ask ourselves if we can allow another. I propose an investigation into who has profited from war, weapons, logistics, money markets… and sanction them. Make them pariahs. Exhibit them and let families who have lost loved ones have their say

Tried to watch the new Night Agent series but had to turn it off… sick of Americans pretending to save the world from foreigners (who live in any Muslim country)and save the country from evil etc. don’t they see that they are the “baddies”? Tone deaf and delusional, but no surprise there…

Why go for this when you could stump up £5000 for a debenture seat and be treated to a reception held in the corridor into the Arms Park? Obviously, it’s too cold to take your coat off and you have to buy your own drinks…

Issues of “nuance” will be decided by the courts. What is important to humanity at the present is to protect Palestinians from the murderous forces of Israel and to silence the noise created by apologists for slaughter and land theft.

Not quite a convincing argument is it, wayne. Don’t bother with further comments unless you actually have something to discuss. Insults and shouting is just noise…
