Islamic State was the first time I recall seeing high production value combat footage propaganda. It's fairly common in Ukraine now as well, on both sides.

He keeps saying "prices go up when [landlords] leave the market". Do they? Those houses still exist, they're just being sold rather than rented. It doesn't affect supply and demand because the same number of houses are still available. I'm not sure what he's expecting her to say? I wouldn't expect a Labour government to be on the side of landlords...

If you take the position that landlords provide housing and are thus an important part of society, then necessarily you have to believe that if the landlord "leaves the market" then the house just vanishes.

Otherwise you might end up at the idea that landlords are not very important.

I did a bit of digging and found the .gov details, and Hamas was proscribed in its entirety as a terrorist organisation in 2021. It's ridiculous that the entire government machinations of a besieged and terrorised sovereign state can themselves be labelled as the terrorists... but sadly that's the way it is.

Seeing how quickly and powerfully our government is siding with Israel, they may want to make a few early examples of people making direct pro Hamas posts, and seeing how they've stomped on people making pro Islamic State, or one of the multitude of banned neo-nazi groups in the past... yeah... it's better to play safe.

I think it's possible for people to say what they want to say without directly referencing Hamas... so please be opinionated about the war and make noise, but just do it safely.

Pretty much every government is going to quickly and fiercely side with Israel because - whatever they might think about the active participants in the conflict - you've got to at least give the impression that you don't want it happening in your own country.

Yes, UK declaring Hamas (political group) a terrorist organisation is very recent.
(So when Corbyn referred to them as 'friends' they were not in fact a UK designated terrorist group at the time).

Previously, only the paramilitary element (Qassim Brigades) were proscribed some time ago, about 2001 IIRC.

Ham is great but I always find I forget to check the sell-by date, creating a horrific aura in the bathroom and making it impossible for anyone else to go in. It's so severe I'm pretty sure it counts as a biological weapon, the use of which is proscribed by the UN.

I guess what I'm saying is it's probably a bad idea go somewhere against UN law and then complain when you're overwhelmed by Ham rear end.

Assuming that there's a transition period where Stormont still operates as a regional assembly (which there should be, all serious reunification parties support that path, and neither "Ulster gets to do what it wants forever, gently caress you" nor "poll passed, Stormont closes at 5pm, you're now under direct rule from Dublin" would be productive paths to peaceful reunification) there would still need to be a referendum to update the constitution to reflect what new constitutional status the northern six counties would have.

Whether it's explicitly stated that way or not, if that happened without a poll then that referendum would be seen as the poll.

given the structural and cultural gap between north and south at this point the only realistic option imo is a north/south federation rather than the whole island administered from dublin

and donegal would be best placed in the northern region because it's always stuck out like a sore thumb as part of the south culturally

it doesn't even belong there geographically: it contains the northern most point of the island
