Is the police definition for ‘terror related’ available for the public to peruse? and looking at the OBR letter and sentiments, what on earth was hunt doing reducing NI twice over the last nine months of the Tory administration ??? I reckon labour could easily take that back up to previous levels without public outcry because we can see it was a straight election bribe without fiscal foundation.

Of course many people are jumping to conclusions about where the perpetrator of this mornings dreadful stabbing was from. Are they an illegal immigrant ? Are they an immigrant ? and then they’re saying that it will be put down to mental illness. Are there any studies as to whether people who come here and seek asylum are more likely to suffer from mental illness with severe episodes? Many will have had a v tough time in their own country followed by an incredibly stressful journey here. The mental health systems here are simply not fit for purpose - it should be no surprise if people have come here who need support and just don’t get it. another reason to get our infrastructure sorted out before we accept too many people. Of course exactly the opposite has happened under the previous administration.

Wonder how much further they’ll go ??

Why are people blaming cooper ? He doesn’t sign players the recruitment team are responsible for identifying targets (based on a range of requirements) the coach will be asked if he objects -
Just stop oil now blocking departure gates at gatwick I recall their main demand was to stop issuing new oil and gas licences milliband has done this so I guess like most protest groups, the goalposts will keep on moving so they retain a raison d’etre

Everything will end so sanitised there will only be a few words that are acceptable ! I mean it’s a stereotype remark but is it offensive. @FoxesDeb ?

Much more nuanced than that. There are approx 1 million Druze in the Middle East majority of Druze live in Syria. (600k) around 150k Druze live in Israel.and golan. Approx 30% in golan where few have taken Israeli citizenship on offer to them. They are permitted to travel freely and work in Israel. The other 110k live within Israel’s internationally accepted borders with full civil rights ( and therefore serve in the IDF. ). netenyahu’s govts have not helped the golan Druze with its progressive settlement policy. Ministers who attended some of the funerals yesterday did not receive much of a welcome.
-
There is some nuance here the kids were all Druze. I assume Druze who hadn’t taken full Israeli rights as they are in the very north of the Golan. Israel would however consider them to be part of its civilian population. Word is that Israel will not go overboard on its response. I suspect that is what they are hoping Hezbollah are thinking. wouldn’t be surprised to see a huge strike on Hezbollah weapons dumps.
-
Whether you believe them or not, the IDF will claim that they are targeting Hamas fighters and Hamas infrastructure.and that Hamas embeds itself in civilian areas. I made the point yesterday about secondary explosions. Hamas and Hezbollah are often using much less advanced weapons which means they are fired in a general direction and land where they land. I’m surprised that Hezbollah didn’t own up to yesterday’s strike and apologise for a terrible mistake.

Been on bbc website with explanation of what’s going on a little confused - what did people expect to see when a pc has her nose broken and two others require hospital treatment??? The right on twitter seem to feel that being assaulted gives the police the right to assault the perpetrators with a boot to the head. Perhaps says a lot about the right on twitter - certainly no appreciation of the nuances of the law.

Apparently going so long on the same tyres may have worn away 1.5kg + of rubber if you’re one stopping then have to load more fuel to compensate this is incorrect- they drain the fuel before final weighing. So the team would have had to add weight to the car to compensate for a one stop strategy.

Premier League 24/25 Pre-season guff (misc talking points)

We know from watching our games last season how defensively scary maresca ball can be. Against better quality strikers we would have failed to win a lot of games. So it shouldn’t be a surprise to see Chelsea conceding plenty of goals. He found a group of players here desperate for a new broom and very receptive to new ideas. Whilst Chelsea undoubtedly have better technical players than us and should be able to put play full on enzoball, it needs them to buy in 100% mentally. That’s his biggest task. If they don’t respect him enough or want to put in the effort required then he will fail. Remember even pep had a few issues at Man City in his first season. -
Btw, will be a triumph of American diplomacy if we get to next weekend without a full scale war having broken out between Hezbollah and Israel after yesterday’s events

Couple of things about the video i was under the impression that the office who came in and kicked the fella was back up called in after the other officers were attacked. That he basically stormed into the area and his first action was to kick the guy prone on the floor. Apparently this video shows him to be involved in the entire fight. He is therefore in a state of extreme stress having been violently attacked with his colleagues - if he’s knocked out then his gun is at risk. so his action would be more understandable BUT the fella is tasered and prone on the floor - he has to take account of that. He’s an armed officer. Hence he should be trained to deal with this type of high stress situation - imagine if he had his gun drawn ? Then he would be deciding whether to shoot this person - I’m not convinced that if he that were the case then this guy would more than likely have been shot dead whilst in a prone position on the floor. the video does ensure that two of these arseholes will be spending a few years behind bars - so at least some good will come out of this.

Yes, as far as 24/25 is concerned, laying out an additional 2m agent fee means we can afford 10m less on a transfer fee in.

Compare and contrast with Tuesday evening’s post match interview Tues evening : sounded like deals being sorted out Fri evening: if we don’t get deals over the line then I won’t complain and we’ll just get on with it

Ah - misunderstood the word ‘aid’. I thought you meant gifted rather than export sales. I'm no fan of BN - when were these medical experiments ?

Yep - misread the stats !
