Ha'way then you lot! What do all you do when you aren't playing WebDip at work and why should I take it up?

Re: Irony: UK hosts conference aimed at encouraging other countries to join EU

A 48%/ 52% vote is by any definition divisive. The fact that the conversation since the vote has essentially been 'well fuck the 48% and their opinions' suck it up and support Brexit even though you think it's a bad idea has just made it worse. Not to mention the fact that most of those that argued ...

Re: 52 Dead in Israel/Palestine Clashes

@JamesYanik I've got a few spare minutes so I'll address a small point it should be brief. You blamed the Arabs for the '48 war which is once again a really cursory reading of the situation. Palestine had been in a state of civil war since 1947 by the time the British left in '48. The eventual warm ...

Re: Irony: UK hosts conference aimed at encouraging other countries to join EU

You can hardly call it the will of the people Leon it was a deeply divisive vote won by by about 2%.

I will be popping back from time to time here James to work through your last comment. I only ever use this site on my mobile so producing a long response is an arse as is trimming down quotes so I'll start with what part of your response I'm addressing. 2000/2007-09 peace talks. Neither of the with...

Re: Sweden World Champs in Icehockey

Sometimes I forget there are parts of the world where skating is an actual sport. In my mind it's always a Christmas activity at which everyone sucks equally.

That's a damned fine shite, sir :). I was aware of the terrorism against the British because of my own family history, but was very vague on the details before then. Thank you.
Cheers Oct, that means a lot!

If you keep up with your win10/draw40 percentage you will rise at GR quicker than you might think.
Here's hoping I can manage that then

Re: 52 Dead in Israel/Palestine Clashes

@JamesYanik I don't have enough time to correct all your misconceptions about Israel/Palestine history but I can cover some. Your history starts very late so I'll take you back a bit earlier to the mid 1800s. Nationalism is sweeping Europe and Europe's Jewish community, out of this develops Zionism ...

Re: May GhostRatings Published

For some reason I'm always surprised by the number of players there are in spite of the fact I've checked this ranking for the last 3 months. I'm still not in the top 1000 sadly but I am up 60 places. So I've got that going for me. Cheers for the work Ghug.

Re: 52 Dead in Israel/Palestine Clashes

I lived in Jerusalem for a time. People love sticking the word Hamas on Palestinian protests to delegitimise them and that's complete bs. The Palestinian people have no methods of self-assertion that aren't directed against Israel. All Palestinian borders are controlled by Israel. Israel dictates wh...

Re: [RESOLVED] Muting threads

Oct mate I think you've made your point. You, Jamie, and I have all raised our objections to the policy and the mods have explained why it was implemented so let's leave this for a bit and see if it effects participation in the pol forum.

Ooh my first time as a wagon, I'm so excited! To answer at least one of the critiques of my scumishness copscan is not a difficult word to figure out. It was used before I said it, I understood it because it's a pretty simple compound word, and then applied it. If the metric for whether a person is ...

Re: Election UK - Those results in full!

Do you expect that the new terms will be less favorable to the UK? If the agreement isn't roughly as favorable as EU membership, that would amount to a form of punishment for leaving. If you cancel your subscription to a magazine would you regard no longer receiving the magazine as a form of punish...

I see why town needs to have lots of people posting now. We did kinda leave teacher pretty exposed. I'm also in the last 24hours of a deadline so I probably won't be hugely active today. This will be a pretty quick post with a few thoughts. 1) If no one is claiming RB today does that make Balki's N1...

Re: Election UK - Those results in full!

Yeah I imagine Farage will be thrilled when we chuck out our labour regulations, cut corporation tax, and scrap the welfare state and turn Britain into a low reg. Haven for the super rich. You have a low opinion of the British people, Telamor. Not only is there no desire to do that in the Conservat...
