  1. I get that but then the sound it makes is disproportionate to its v low weight must be other things that also assist it to avoid injury
  2. I’m sitting quietly and watching a fly continually hurling itself at a large glass pane and striking it pretty hard. How does it manage to avoid injury ???
  3. As you say, it’s the swing voters who will decide and I think unless the dems have a candidate that really appeals to those who voted trump last time, Rubio is way more likely than Vance to take that centre ground vote. if it’s Vance or Rubio against an ‘ok at best’ Democrat then the swing voters are more likely to support Rubio who sounds more intelligent and reasonable than Vance. I think an ‘ok at best’ dem will take a big chunk of the swing votes than Vance. Just my opinion fwiw, I would be shocked if Vance isn’t the GOP selection because the base is so driven by his politics.
  4. if the republicans go with Rubio then (assuming nothing more crazy than we’ve seen past two years happens) I reckon he’s a shoe in. if they choose Vance then I think the democrats just need to find someone who doesn’t pee off either wing of the party, looks nice and can communicate effectively to do the same.
  5. They would argue (incorrectly ) the hypocrisy is in the opposite direction I wish people would ignore these two nobs - they speak for no one but their extremist base. Sadly they have way too much influence within isr but the international community are not their target audience
  6. Him and his mate should be irrelevant in 8 weeks well i was hoping that would be the case
  7. just realised that the timing will help burnham bigtime at the conference next week possibly the primary reason for the timing ??
  8. Would be more relevant to superimpose China across the continent !
  9. the policy announcement (and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Canada and France follow this week) is timed. I can’t only think that it’s trying to say to the isr electorate that supporting BN and his coalition parties end October is a route to international isolation. I know a lot of people there and there is not a lot of love for the govt. But if they feel vulnerable then they will be more likely to drift towards the men who claim to offer protection rather than those who can be painted as being more lax on security. Giving the administration the gift of ‘they all hate us, we must stick together’ message is a high risk strategy. Leaving this policy announcement until early November when the election is finished would make no discernible difference. if BN now wins from a position where he currently sits just behind then fingers could be pointed at Miliband and burnham. I actually think that trump would privately welcome a change in isr govt. the more I think about the more I am annoyed that burnham is taking this risk with affecting the upcoming vote there. I wonder if we’ll see the opposition making promises about settler expansion/legality that they weren’t previously doing in order to try and take some wind out of BN’s response.
  10. PL clubs that have moved to bigger state of the art training grounds leicester spurs liverpool add if there are others Have all these clubs lost a little something since they moved ? Man City did the same but I think that was all part of the move from Maine Road
  11. some of the killing toys aren’t easily sourced elsewhere as an example, Sanchez has had to buy a system from Germany (which they’re buyingfrom isr and’ relabelling’) to get around his sanctions. so it’s possible but will cost more. (As is the case with all sanctions ). something which has just popped up re the USA is that there are laws in some states there that prohibit trade with countries that have sanctions on isr. I guess they don’t enforce as I’ve not read anything about Spain/belgium/netherlands/ireland Norway having any problems. But it does highlight the risk of unintended consequences. Whilst I’m not particularly against the policy (if it could actually be enforced as intended), I do think the timing is crap. The general election is end October and I can’t see how this will do anything other than embolden the incumbent administration. the justification for the timing recognising Palstne last year (whilst hostages were still held) was to put pressure on isr to protect the two state solution. is there any evidence whatsoever that this has been effective? None whatsoever and if anything it could be argued that it has caused the govt there to double down on their plans re E1. If I was a conspiracy theorist I’d say that the actions of this govt seem to be weighted to ensure that BN continues as PM, rather than is replaced via the ballot box.
  12. As I understand it, EU countries (and i assume the U.K. is included) have had a defacto ban since 2005 by removing tarrif advantages for goods produced in those areas. but it’s lazily enforced and open to abuse. Several EU countries have recently brought in more stringent rules whereby they insist on postal codes being listed on import docs and apply serious penalties to those attempting to defraud the system. my assumption is that on many products (which could be produced in WB or Golan) that can be sourced in other countries, buyers will avoid purchasing from isr completely to avoid any risk. There is no chance that the isr govt would ensure that their supply chain becomes more transparent to assist exporters not involved. So it will become a de facto ban on isr imports across a range of items. This is probably where the basis for the policy lies - if you want to keep trading then stop building illegal settlements. We know that won’t happen . Will isr respond by cutting supply on other exports like military equipment that is actually important for our defence. and the USA are unlikely to get seriously involved beyond some angry statements - they haven’t with the other nations that have invoked this policy.
  13. Would Sanchez win an election held today ? Not according to current polling just cos we may like a politician doesn’t make them popular in their own country gonna be an interesting day tomorrow - will wait for the policy detail but I would be amazed if no 10 don’t make a pigs ear of the settlement trading sanctions,
  14. Can confirm she did a couple of times (when we played Newcastle 😉)
  15. I think you’re wrong about Tuesday cleverly was really frustrated after the game because he recognised that they could have got the same kind of result as Oxford has they taken one of the many openings we gifted them first fifteen minutes. had they also converted one of their clear chances between the 78th and 88th minute then do you really think we’d have hung onto the win ?
  16. Maresca was the nearest we had pst few years before that, Rodgers did probably because the players are all too secure with their connection to the owner. They don’t need to try and impress a new coach
  17. Miserable but thats not particularly related to Lcfc
  18. Is it very different to reform taking control of an English county council ?
  19. I know you’re not suggesting that the facists will take power in Germany and attack Poland and the Czech Republic
