    beyond our ken got a reaction from WeeBud in Scum Hamas Terrorists Slaughter Jews In Israel   
    We are almost at the point where the point of taking about this will be lost as escalation is a near certainty now
    Would Israel blow up a Gaza hospital and blame it on Hamas? Absolutely 
    Would Hamas blow up a hospital to try an denigrate Israel? Very possibly 
    would either of them own up to a botched operation? No f**kkin chance 
    The fact that Israel has pointed the finger at third party is very suspicious 
    Nobody in the Arab world is buying Israel’s version of events according to Sky news

    My own belief is that Netanyahu got his Hanecke present early and will use the situation to drive the Gazans into the med 
    ooor people used as pawns between 2 bands of Zealots
    it a horrible life for these guys and it is little wonder the youth are continually radicalised by the conflict, which suits Hamas and the Israelis just fine

    Biden is actually quite a liberal Catholic as demonstrated by his stance on birth control and access to abortion
    I'm afraid that for the U.K. and USA it’s only about the money that funds election campaigns 
    did anyone se Cleverly (what a misnomer) in telly declaring that any Israeli response would be proportionate? Sickening bassa!

    We were looking as if we were going to take control just before the penalty 
    but we were wasteful in front of their goal before that and should have been ahead

    Freedom and free speech are rights that come with responsibility, because free-speech has the power to alienate and belittle.  If someone has misogynistic views then they should keep them tothemselves rather than trying to rally the other animals that agree with them, but because thay have these views they are not the sort of person to keep counsel or just be a little careful ariund what they say.
    Telling unpleasant truths is often necessary and should be valued when the intention is to have a better debate.  To go out looking for things that you decide you disagree with, with the intention of attacking a person who you disagree with is actually pretty vile.
    The trend now is to brand anyone with a moderate or even caring view as "woke" and people use the term freely without realising that the context they are using it in is unintentionally racist
    As for GB news, i am afraid that they exist to further the reach and aims of extreme-right wingers who want to hijack the tory party as a way of gaining power.  They peddle untruths and only want to hear their own agenda.

    A Rangers supporting colleague told me Beale might be the ideal candidate for the manager's role I am trying to fill, unfortunately the interviews are today and Beale can't manage

    I get the impression that Robinson exercises caution over the squad when we play on these shitty plastic pitches and favours keeping it tight and hoping for a result over going for it and risking injuries that will hit such a thin squad hard.  I can't really argue with that, the best thing about the two recent games on plastic is that we didn't pick up any new injuries and still picked up two points
    I will be watching next Sunday's game from a Fuerteventura pub and hope that Saints can top-off my holiday very nicely indeed.

    If you think I am against free speech because i believe every right comes with responsibility then it seems you cant read what is in front of you.  
    So called free-speech can do a lot of harm and I guess you know that, I am not for censoring people.  I just know that society pays the check that these people's mouths write.  The damage this so-called "free-speech agenda" is causing is bad and will get way worse.  There seems to be a growing tendency for people to deliberately say provocative and unpleasant things about others so they can claim that their right to free speech is being impeded.  You do note, you never gat ANY of them saying something nice , though they all have the means and opportunity to do so.  GB news and Talk TV are wall-to-wall unpleasantness all day long. 
    The word "woke" in the context of today is actually a smirkingly unpleasant misappropriation of a word that Black Americans used to described themselves in the 30s (that wonderful time for civil rights).  They used it to explain that they woke up to the unfairness, prejudice and oppression that they faced and started to act.  The phrase "I woke" became "I am woke", the oppressors and others initially used it to belittle black people who complained about their lot.  Now we have some wonderful people using a word that they are unaware of the context it was coined in to belittle anyone with an opposing view to beligerence, intolerance and indeed, greed.  The likes of the owners of GB news and also many of the publications you mentioned are on a mission to grab both the mainstream and the online media.  They deliberately court controversy and use intolerance to do so as they like to wave a martyr's banner of censorship and intolerance when they are pretty much intolerant of anyone else.
    I dont agree with everything Frankie Boyle says, he got it right though when he said Brexit was Karma for people who voted Conservative thinking that it would only f**k other people up, and that is the right wing agenda .  Support any voice or cause that demonises or scews over other groups as it increases your chances of prospering over them.  They might be right but there is a very real prospect that their larger slice of the pie is going to be the lion's share of sod-all by the time they are done wrecking.

    My trainee in my last job has a CV and linkedin profile that has him as my manager for that time.  He got quite a way on that before his limitations crept back up on him and he is back in the job I signed him from 15 years ago  There is nothing that is harder to overcome in your work-life than overstating your credentials and ability once you are busted.
