Where in my posts do I say it bothers me that much? You expressed ignorance about it, so I explained the issue. It was stupid by Nike, but the FA must have signed off on it, so they are culpable too.

Sir Keir will be disappointed you're not supporting him in this.

Read my post when you're sober. I said the Danes, and Stan, you truly are pathetically pompous when you try to play the intellectual. You think you score a point by showing Danes commit more crimes than immigrants, without any reference to proportionality. Simply idiotic.

Thought it was very well explained to be fair.
 
So the UN Security Council finally grew a pair and voted for a binding resolution for the unconditional release of all hostages and a temporary ceasefire during the Holy Month of Ramadan, leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire.

The US threw Netanyahu a bone by abstaining

Hamas immediately responds to say its ready to return all hostages as part of the deal

How will Netanyahu respond ?

Just so bored of this bollocks. Any ceasefire will last about five minutes and require the release of about 100 actual terrorists in exchange for some old Doris who got abducted while knitting.

I’d settle for the surrender and public hanging of every member of Hamas except it would be like trying to work out which eggs have two yolks without breaking them.

I am quite tired though and work was a bit of a drag. May feel more sympathetic tomorrow.

Palestinians, Arabs in general. They were happy to start the Yom Kippur war (in the middle of Ramadan) but apparently it’s on Israel to respect Ramadan.

'Arabs in general'??

I'm not sure my Orthodox Syrian Arab friends fit your narrative mate, or my Coptic Egyptian Arabic mates

My girlfriend is a Lebanese Orthodox Christian Arab, she's fasting for 50 days til Easter. I'm pretty certain she's not an 'Arab' concerned about Ramadan

Not all Arabs are Muslim fundamentalists, you're sounding like Trump with his ban on all Syrians, even the Christian ones

Arab leaders would’ve been a better choice- I humbly apologise. I’m sure the bloke who runs the shop at the end of my road and your mate aren’t hell bent on Israel being wiped off the Earth.

Well said WBA, 100% behind you, especially as you are based in that general region. You know what you're talking about.

The problem is mass immigration, first under Labour and then under the Tories

Immigration is necessary to fuel the economy (more so since Brexit, of course). The problem under the Tories is the refusal to invest in the necessary housing and infrastructure. The situation with right-to-buy, whereby councils are disincentivised from building social housing is a farce and it should be scrapped in England as it has been in Scotland and Wales.
