Eh? What happened? To be fair Rugby fans have never been as angelic as their reputation has suggested. I remember in Euro 2004 the press went looking for England football fans trying to cause trouble in Portugal. They didn't find any near the stadium so went 100 miles away where they had been...

This is no vintage crop of England players. However today they found a way to win against a decent Fiji outfit. As far as I'm concerned these players have done us proud in getting to the semi final.

Pathetic effort from England. Yes we've not really prepared for this tournament but even so.

I fully agree with this. Lucky to be able to be a keyboard warrior rather than have to literally fight to survive. However...I think there's also a lot of complacency in the West as to our current quality of life. We've enjoyed peace for a long period and many in power have taken their eye off...

Selective virtue signalling at its finest. I'd say the decision not to display sympathy for Israel has entirely been influenced by potential backlashes from a part of London's 'community'. Earlier I suggested Europe was at the crossroads...actions such as this indicate which direction we are...

Sadly identity politics has had the effect of dividing people even more than they already are. By design? Wouldn't put it past the 'top table' so to speak! And also....how the future of the UK and Europe will look with far more religious groups settling and establishing power bases. Let's face...

I think the genuine fear has always been what would happen if such a terrorist group could acquire a nuclear weapon. There would be absolutely no hesitation in using it. For all the horrors of what is going on in Ukraine, I remain utterly convinced that these devices have prevented escalation...

Windows 11 isn't particularly great at utilising memory. If you are running 16Gb though it will be more than fine.

Have seen no evidence thus far but now reports of Babies being beheaded. I guess whether you are bombed, shot, burned, gassed, crushed, beheaded is ultimately irrelevant. However there's something particularly barbaric about beheading. Hopefully a lot of naive Westerners who have supported...

Depending on whether you believe it or not.....a warning was given before this building was targeted.

I was back in London yesterday afternoon and evening. More specifically Mayfair then Kensington. Some of the language and slogans that I saw of those heading to the Israeli embassy to protest was shocking. And these looked like fairly wealthy types probably with money and influence. If there...

Yep. And if proven this could rapidly get out of hand. Dare I say there will be some big conversations going on between Israel and the USA at present. And going into extra conspiracy mode....all times to coincide with what's happening in Ukraine?? Russia involved??

We are seeing what 'fascists' and the 'far right' actually look like. Not a lot of difference between what we are seeing now and what the Nazi Party did. That's the far right Ladies and Gents. Maybe we can start using this term a bit more appropriately in the future.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Attack the very people that may be useful in influencing a more peaceful longer term solution. However without going off on a tangent too much, it also shows a wooly, naive outlook of those who plaster their social media channels with the usual banners. There...

Israel's nuclear capability has always been something of a mystery. However, I very much doubt they would use it against Iran unless Iranian forces were directly targeting civilian targets in Israel. Either way some of the anti-semitic behaviour I've seen in the UK this weekend (witnessed...

Not will it end well for any European Country that may attempt to assist Israel in some form. Terrorist reprisals would be certain at a level never seen before.

Huge intelligence failure by Israel here though. I suspect though that reprisals will be pretty fierce.

As I've said before.....this has to be the worse thread title for the current situation :smile:

I suppose it worked for Biden? To be honest, I find the whole judging people's apparent intelligence on who they vote for tedious and unhelpful. This all started after the brexit vote and just adds fuel to the fire. If anyone is that convinced that the answer to all of their or society's...

Just shows you the kind of vermin we are dealing with. And why we should never give Russia even a slight chance of being able to do the same to the UK.
