    I don't have a TV, but no I wouldn't give up my phone and laptop. I'd like to think if I came across someone struggling though that I would do something more constructive to help them.

    Not the point in making, but I knew you wouldn't.

    No I get the point you are making and to an extent you are right. The majority of people will stick to beating their chests about injustices in the world but not give up any of their advantages to help make a change. As individuals the impact we can have is limited but not insignificant when individuals combine their effort and actions. I disagree that morality is irrelevant to all of this - though their is also a hell of a lot of hypocrisy when you look at the investment elsewhere from immoral sources.

    Reading it back I'll rephrase it as people don't care enough.

    Their material items >human rights.

    The mistake they made was slicing and dicing.

    I’d have burned the body or at least dissolved him in Acid and then get a forensic cleaner in to dispose of the body more subtly.

    I'm surprised they even bothered trying to hide it at all... Nobody cares.

    More bothered about people watching free football

    The UK government take people out but do it subtly. Google ‘the increment’ and you will have your eyes opened lads.

    Mental isn't it? Okay to kill people but hey, pirate football matches and a fuss is made.

    One - no monetary loss; objections led by greed.

    What a ****ed up world we live in.

    Tbh kashoggi is irrelevant just like the rest of us... We're all insignificant. Unlucky he pushed his luck too far and got sliced up... I wouldnt have got myself into that mess, but we all make mistakes.

    UK equivalent of Delta Force.

    Basically a platoon of talented psychopaths employed to do what they love and do best - killing people.

    They trained MOSSAD

    I feel for his bird mind I didn't like the abuse she got. It wasn't a good look for this city.

    I don't care one iota about her, but I'd never have done that.

    Best way to kill someone is drowning them I think..

    Just take them for a few walks along the strid and then one day just push them in.

    The few walls makes it look less dodgy.

    I think it's a fair question to ask whether we are part of how ****ed up that world is though.

    As a fanbase (rather than individuals) we are happy to boycott Mike Ashley and highlight his immoral use of zero hours contracts and treatment of staff - because we are unhappy with his lack of vision for the club, but at the same time the majority would welcome the PIF with open arms despite far worse offences, because they would bring new possibilities of success to the football club.

    I'm not taking the moral high ground on that either. I have mixed feelings myself. While I think it would be a stain on our club I also look at the investment that Sheik Monsoor has brought to Manchester. Not just the football club but to the city. He has turned wasteland into beautiful buildings and landscapes. He has atrracted further investment from others as a result. He has created 1000s of jobs in the process. It's a tough one when you realise how much our city needs that, but also the morality of the people who would be bringing it.

    No it’s not.

    Any accusation will need to be based on reasonable grounds capable of being proven. Not necessarily in a Court of Law but far more than just being an unsubstantiated claim. Whether this is I don’t know. If an accusation is relied upon and is disputed then the simple making of the accusation would not be sufficient to stop any deal.

    Some mistakes are irreversible. It’s very hard to put yourself back together.

    Cameras I like the protection and peace of mind that a secluded spot brings.

    The strid had a 100% kill rate too and its possible no body would ever be found.

    In the PL's little world it is.

    In the real world conviction beyond reasonable doubt, or a civil finding of balance of probabilities.

    The PL make their own rules. They can decide that something would constitute a criminal offence if proven. There doesn't need to be a conviction. Arguable as to whether that aspect of their test complies with the rule of law.

    That is a whole dissertation in itself.
