I’m not a fan of BN but he will be standing for re election in six months time

At the moment, can’t see anyone official from the Iranian regime willing to confirm that the ayatollah is alive. this could because he’s survived the initial attack and they don’t want the Israelis to know this. Or it could be because he didn’t survive. Impossible to have any information about much. In the twelve day war last year, we saw live pictures from Israel of missile strikes and confirmation out of Iran of sites that had been hit. Today has seen a lot more secrecy. Infact the only public declaration from either country is that an elementary school was hit in southern Iran. Again, no way of knowing what struck that building nor who/how many casualties. And tbh, based on what the Iranian regime did to their own people last month, you wouldn’t put anything past them.

You can never have a 100% strike rate But our rate certainly dropped when we needed it to be way better. Not being able to sell either soumare or daka for a decent profit nor get enough productive input from them on the pitch has probably proven to be the proverbial straw. Of course there were plenty of others too just a sh1tshow from top to bottom

Do we share it with the Americans? afaik, the 5th fleet control centre was bombed in Bahrain

Ha yes the president of Iran is pretty impotent I haven’t seen that he’s been targeted perhaps the defence minister and the chief justice of the clergy are two rumours

You’ll need to clarify for me Who is ‘the Iranian’ ?

The announcement last night that Rubio would be in Israel on Monday but there would be no press allowed on the trip so don’t bother to make the usual arrangements was about as clear a sign that an attack was this weekend. Rubio likely has an appointment at his barbers on Monday i wonder if there is still a possibility that this is somewhat ‘staged’ with a limited range of attacks. there is no sign so far of a huge number of targets in the initial phase

Neil Sedaka what a singer/songwriter

30k is the number in hotels, not the number awaiting asylum claim decisions AI says there are 65k cases not yet adjudicated with 50k appeals so that’s approx 115k. Still not a huge number as a proportion of the entire population

With the momentum wolves are building they should be hot favourites to come back ahead of Burnley and AN other

But, the last time I checked, it was the Anglosphere nations that had the most power to actually cause the pain and misery that nationalism results in, and that perhaps should mean something in terms of level of concern. If other places (like China) get that level of power and look like using it on as broad a scale, they should be equally challenged. I’d say that there are plenty of nationalist countries outside of the anglospheric ones that are causing pain and misery. we’re talking UK, Australia, Canada, NZ, USA as the core - we’ve had our day in the sun some time ago. The USA are doing a sterling job of bringing it back into fashion.

As my gran used to say ‘there’s a lid for every pot’. (she never said that btw) if you’re not in a significant minority then I’m worried People’s politics are their own business. It should be fine to say that you disagree with a party and not be required to justify it. Some of the green’s headline policy statements simply don’t align with the Muslim continuity. if Palestine wasn't the open sore it currently is, I don’t believe that the Muslim vote would be headed there. I think the youth vote is really interesting - be good to see some breakdown of the demographics within the turnout.

It would certainly be interesting to find out who is right in 2029 if we retain the current party spread.

None of which are likely to affect voting patterns here as much as one single issue currently does. But I’m nervous to say ‘these are strange times’ because the past decade seems to have been ‘unprecedented event’ after ‘unprecedented event’.

Not a seat to make strong judgments on for the GE in 2029 global politics could be anything in three years time - so the global issues prevalent in seats like this now means you can’t just extrapolate the results etc etc good to see reform unable to push through (turnout was low and I wonder if a chunk of their support just cba to vote). still maintain that farage is a protest politician which makes it v tough for him to win at a GE. Applies even more to Polanski. However, the overall message (as made above) is that with more parties, the likelihood of a hung parliament increases.

Not unless I had a dodgy boiler

How are they charging us retrospectively? We broke the rules.

Villa sold their women’s team last season. if they keep qualifying for CL every second season then they may be able to keep the right side with some sales. Tough to do. Could see Rodgers sold end this season.

I think they’ll be careful not to rush him back wales will want him for their play offs so he’ll have more stress in month one than we’d like him to have

in other news, unfortunately Ian Huntley has been attacked in prison more unfortunately, he has survived

This was in the west bank it looks indefensible - for me, the withholding of the body is the worst part - anyone can be shot dead by accident (but no evidence of that in this case), this happened in November it was widely reported by the Middle East media outlets at the time ha’aretz picked it up a few weeks ago and then times of Israel. Now the bbc He was fifteeen in the original reports. If Iran doesn’t become a war within the next week or two then this case may gain some traction inside Israel. the idea that Israeli soldiers could be held accountable for gross misconduct/murder (failing to treat the victim and to allow an ambulance to attend - two other youths were attended to that afternoon by red crescent) is probably fanciful under the current administration. roll on the general election there. Rarely will an Israeli GE be so closely watched. the ‘Arab list’ could easily return 10/15% of MKs and they’ve committed to stick together (though we’ve heard that before). if they could actually get their vote out and work out their political disputes then they’d get closer to 20% of seats. And they’d surely then have a say in govt. It would appear to be one of the strangest anomalies in world politics. The Arab Israelis are approx 20% of the electorate in a PR system and yet they’ve never returned more than 15% of the MKs Surely they can manage to work it out between them and amongst their communities,

I think he gets a bad press …….. misunderstood and he had a tricky upbringing

I think the point about king power football club is the only explanation. how could any company fail to follow up 2016 as a commercial global opportunity ? all those followers and ……………

Wonder if Faes will make the next Belgian squad ? of he doesn’t then he can’t make the WC

The charges relate to the period to 2018 so didn’t affect us as mentioned above it’s reasonable given their income. As long as they can service the interest
