RIP Bazza

Interesting

In recent times he's claimed to be centre left, although his posts clearly indicate that's he's far from it.

he deliberately wound people like me up, thought it was all jolly japes, insulted people and got personal, and then when came back at him with bans or whatever he was all blabbing about freedom of speech and it's good to debate and infact he's a life long labour supporter but old labour salt of the earth old school red wall calls a spade a spade anti woke type. I won't miss him.

you would obviously never do anything like that yourself of course

Israel are saying they plan to control Gaza like they do West Bank after the war...which I guess means they plan to carry on with this fighting with Hamas thing indefinitely. Netanyahu has also said that they will not agree to release Palestinian prisoners or withdraw forces in any hostage deal. So..kind of looks like Israel are just saying f**k you to everyone.

Been crying all morning.  Bereft with grief and sorrow at the loss of such a nice fish. 

 

Anyhoo...

Rwanda bill has now cleared its first hurdle in the upper chamber

Does anyone know why Labour lords abstained from this vote when it's clear that they are against it?

Unfortunately, centre-right is where the Labour party is at these days.

He was a Blair fan-boy so centre-right labour about fits wouldn't you say?

Sadly I can't argue with that.

Green Party is the only "choice" left.

Always had moderation in a style that built these forums and a style to match what festivals are about.

Scotland's political problems are self inflicted. Not the fault of the greens.

So at some point this year there could be a Sinn Fein Taoiseach and a Sinn Fein First Minister of N Ireland...that will be quite a moment.

I think you'll find that it was you that caused half the users to leave and make their own forum.

If the answer in northern Ireland is ignore EU law l.then maybe the answer in Israel is ignore international law.

SNP one short of a majority so they're in some sort of coalition which isn't called a coalition with the greens.
