I could've gone to Blatherwycke



About 20 years ago I had a job that involved going between London and Paris quite a lot. I remember being in an Air France lounge at Charles de Gaulle airport one afternoon waiting for the inevitably delayed Air France flight to Heathrow. I was the only passenger in there at the time and was happily drinking the free drinks and eating the free pastries when in walked Peter Hain who was a minister in the Blair Government of the time alongside what I guess was a Civil Servant of some type. As Hain walked past me he looked down his nose at me and almost certainly noticed that I was reading a French publication (I think it was Le Canard Enchaine but I can't be sure, I had very good French skills at the time sadly mostly forgotten now) picked up a copy of the Guardian from the International Press shelf and said to his companion "Let's see what drivel that bloody Toynbee woman has been writing today".

That's my New Labour/Polly Toynbee story.

I think all polls should have that option so whenever you ask someone a question there's always a risk of a large ginger person screaming "AH'M SCOTTISH!" back at you, as they are right to do.

Lol this is in unbelievably poor taste.

Tldr: company emailed all their staff saying they were going to get a bonus for working so hard through the pandemic. Anyone who followed the link got taken to a stern Web page warning them about phishing attempts, and clarifying that there was no bonus.
I really want to know if these emails were actually sent from a spoof email address and if it was actually possible to deduce they were phishing emails or if this was just a complete gently caress you to the workers.

Plus even if that was something you could figure out, doesn't phishing tend to involve, like, having to enter your sensitive details? At this point it's literally just "You clicked a link, you idiot, you moron" when in a real attempt you would click a link, go to a fake site, and then go "Wait why doesn't my employer know my details, this should be getting handled by payroll surely?" (Or not if you actually need to learn about fishing :v: )

Even the BBC's Jeremy Bowen is putting the instigator for this surge in violence on Israel and Benjamin "I can't believe he isn't in prison yet" Netanyahu, but I doubt that's what Bez Bleating is condemning.

Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!
Before the 2014 war on Gaza, there was a website online that had done statistical analysis on rocket attacks since about 2005, and IIRC something like 95+ % followed an inciting incident by Israel. I haven't been able to find it since 2014.

I want to curse the Graun - the way they twist their headlines to always START with the rocket attack and ignore all the poo poo Israel did before that happened.

And the other thing that fucks me off is all those people I know who condemn all Palestinians as terrorists and ra ra every time Israel fucks the Palestinians over would 100% not stand for, say, the Vikings coming over now and trying to reclaim eg land they occupied from 1500 years ago, chucking them out of their homes, building a big fence round them and not letting them leave, cutting off their water supply, spray foul-stinking 'skunk' all over their houses and washing etc, chuck teargas at little kids coming out of school, without retaliating.

People I know honestly believe that the Palestians kill '000s of Israelis every year.

Makes me wanna puke :barf:

NB - kill the media and politicians btw. I've not posted this to incite violence against regular individuals.

It'll always comeback to "Israel has a right to defend itself". Thats the line. Theres no mention of Palestine being in the same position because they will always be perceived as the aggressors.

There was actually a German leader who proposed invading Britain on the basis of defending the purity of their Nordic heritage. Don't think he would have backed Israel, though.

Given Streeting's proximity to Starmer, that tweet seems like Labour's pre-emptive "you idiots were useful once, but don't you dare try to push that antisemitism poo poo against us".

The United States has not yet recognised Palestine as a state. Nor have we. Perceiving Palestine as the aggressor is a justification after the fact; the fact being that Israel has allegiances.

Biden needs to step up. I don't anticipate him doing this, though. The US is Israel's father, and is a trade partner, and there's definitely staff meetings wrt military co ordinations in the region. Also, if nothing else, the politicians care about vote numbers. A large slice of the US going to be incensed by any perceived denouncement of Israel, or support of Hamas.

The problem needs fixing, but the Palestinian 'question' in my mind is how?

It's these two + the fact Israel is mates with some big countries (US and us among others) so won't get their nose broken with a mighty headbutt. They have extremely successfully cast themselves as poor, beleagured, plucky little Israel standing firm in the face of an implacable enemy that does 9/11s on them on a monthly basis.

There’s dark comedy in how his replies are full of accusations of antisemitism from the same people he and the rest of the Labour right happily directed at Corbyn

Anyone Israel supporter who can watch that video and not feel a deep sense of shame has something massively wrong with them, I’m surprised at Streeting actually flagging it up
