    You've convinced me. America should be banned for being bad with their missile aim, starting with the Javelin, discus, hammer and darts.

    American operatives being allowed to operate in what country? The authoritarian Venezuela? you need to take those communist tinted glasses off for a while then you might see most countries have "operatives" working inside all countries including ours country and our operatives in other countries!

    and the war on drugs is not really an actual war is it? unless you're a newly radicalised green party supporter when it is a war on the new utopia of drugs for all :D

    The war on drugs is a pointless exercise and doomed to failure. Where demand exists of any product there'll be supply.

    But if there's a decent chunk being blasted out the water, every little helps ;) I don't think the issue of Trump blowing up drug runner boats is gonna convince anyone of anything.

    Not sure it does help, any impact will be negligible.

    Most drugs should just be decriminalised anyway tbh.

    Make it legal, and all of a sudden a lot of crime stops.

    Though the fact that the costs of the product would also plummet, most then population would be high for most of the time.

    Costs would go up I'm sure due to tax. A black market would still exist for it.

    This is brilliant writing structure from Thumwood. Just look how he's validated statement 1 with statement 2.

    1. Just feel that all the nutters in the world feel emboldened at the moment!

    2.The world would be so much better with Owen Jones in charge.

    Obviously the kind of person who, unlike some, doesn't have trouble understanding a simple definition of what constitutes a genocide. That it is not based alone on numbers killed or what bigots decide for themselves what a genocide is to fit their own agenda.

    This is exactly the kind of question that should be put to Nigel Farage more often. I think conflating the policies of Reform with the crimes committed by the thugs inspired by them is something journalists should be asking more.

    Read my previous comments. This one might be slightly clumsily worded, but all the way through I’ve been saying I don’t think anyone on the board is consciously anti-Semitic, but there is an insidious underbelly emerging generally that is.

    I thought football clubs had to pay for policing, so don’t think the cost would be an issue

    No country inside Europe should be allowed to take part either.

    Only for "policing inside the ground or immediately adjacent property under their control."

    The danger there is that if something grows in society it seeps into the parts that are not anti-semitic.

    For example as the years go on it becomes less but there are a lot of people still that are not racist but will be guilty of casual racism without being aware that they are!
