Well maybe we should have more threads that don't start with selectively edited videos calling people thick when they give responses that are undeniably questionable in their meaning?

That way we...

Do you realise what is going on in the real world whilst this was created as a thread.

There is zero chance or me starting a thread on a Labour, Lib Dem, SNP or any other politician and calling...

Rache Reeves?

I mean, she doesn't have to be better than Jeremy Hunt, but let's hope she is. I don't mind here. Quite happy with a monotonous and sober person in charge of the numbers really.

Nancuy Pelosi:

"Pelosi urges Gaza campus protesters to target Hamas as well as Israel"

I think this is the biggest thing for me since the protests started really

More than anything I just disagree with you labelling people "thick" and misrepresenting what happened based on a programme you didn't watch and the sharing of a video edited to end before the...

But that's not now live TV works is it. Last month Sadiq Khan said that Labour is an anti-Semitic party. Clearly didn't mean it.

Well he or she is unclear. Their twitter bio reads:

"20. Anti-capitalist. Anti-imperialist. Student and Educator, supporting and teaching liberation everywhere FREE PALESTINE" So I guess their...

DR Congo is the second biggest country in Africa and widely known. Rwanda is widely known from the genocide in the past and from political debate here for the last couple of years.

Thinking they...

So do you actually think that the MP in question thinks Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo are the same country do you?

Be honest.

Mmm a tasty Sludge word salad to go with the nothing burger that this story is.

I would rather a more sensible interpretation of offsides be implemented. I don't mind VAR per se, but we don't need offsides scrutinised down to the last millimetre. It's only purpose is to stop...

I didn't give a faux intelligent reply. I said he clearly gave a rhetorical question as part of his answer.

Maybe you actually think that he thinks Rwanda and DR Congo are the same country.

The woman who organised the pro Palestinian sit in at Columbia University said Zionists don't deserve to live and we should "Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”

Oh here she is. The yapping dog.

You know, I've thought about and it I've changed my mind.

I did think that maybe it was a rhetorical question and that Bob had disingenuously shared a video...

If you truly believe that the MP doesn't know that DR Congo and Rwanda are two different countries and it wasn't merely a rhetorical question as part of giving an answer to a not entirely clear...

I agree. I also don't think the system is entirely broken. Until covid and WFH, the growth in passengers was huge, so some things are right. The range of universal railcards is great too. I make use...

The whole topic is complex, reduced down for the internet age to an edited video clip.

I don't believe for one second that you really believe that he thinks that Rwanda and DR Congo are the same...

The question wasnt entirely clear, Goma is the 10th largest city in the Democratic Republic of Congo (I looked this morning!) and to me it's clearly a rhetorical question. Both DR Congo and Rwanda...

Yeah he looks unprofessional because people try to reduce down a complex situation to a few seconds of edited video.

What was also predictable is that you would be all over it although you are...

Too many chiefs not enough indians is a phrase that springs to mind. There is a lack of people on the ground doing the simpler things that can make a difference - clearing litter, cutting back...

Yeah my understanding is that the Railways are already effectively nationalised. What isnt is the companies running the services.

I'm broadly supportive of nationalisation, as I am with water (as...

I sure. The last video I saw, where one pleasant student was screaming "we are Hamas" was at Columbia though I think

Its funny how the video looks quite different when you play it for another few seconds though and he answers the question..

Agreement with the Greens collapsed now. A party really with a lot of problems and now in a minority with no election planned until mid 2026 wouldn't be surprised if it all collapsed.
