I know what Biden said

he didn’t make an analogy between the democratically elected Israeli govt and the national socialists elected in Germany as you did though 

That’s what I was referring to

 

Ok. Great. I just think with people in the democratically elected govt of Israel you got to naive to run the “elected” line. A line that a growing majority of people in Israel would call someone stupid for. 
 

Problems in the region are linked to two groups who at one point were elected. Which is sad.

Jeez - you’re not equating democracy in Gaza with democracy in Israel are you ??

I'm genuinely so saddened by this. Did my degree in Leeds. Knew nothing about league. But went to a game at Headingley and fell in with the game- largely because of this guy.

The word ‘legend’ is overused, but it certainly describes this giant of a man. You’ve got to be hard as nails to play rugby league at any height, but to do so at 5ft 3 is astonishing. 
 

What an absolute warrior. Your memory will live in so many ways. RIP.

lol. No. Criticism of the govt in Israel as it stands today is not defence, equivalence or anything else apart from criticism of a Govt which many are now rampantly criticising. I think the comments of many within that govt is making maybe world leaders feel uneasy. I know you’ve got history of getting abusive since the 7th October attack so I’m going to try and restrain myself just to avoid another chills like outburst. The govt in both areas (including the West Bank) are not fit for purpose. This is not new information, getting to the original point (which wasn’t directed at you), I thought it was incredible that Biden said what he did.

 

Edit: and the extraordinary comments by Biden show, for very different reasons (again, I don’t know why I need to explain this as it’s quite simple) that a govt which now contains more members against a two party state and more in favour of illegal settlements is failure.

Anyone see apparently May was the hottest on record since 1884 or something? I know it was an absolute scorcher but I’m still quite surprised.

Meteorological Spring (March - may) in the U.K. (and may) was warmest on record.  That’s a surprise given the dullness and wetness but the reason is that with so many cloudy nights, min temps were way above the average (rather than high daytime temps drawing the average up)

Yeah but we’re not cracking the bbq out at 3am so those temps are irrelevant

As is the norm,  the data needs to be analysed more closely than a straight headline 

I suspect that a more damp climate with less lower night time temps could have consequences for our flora,  fauna, insects etc

Honestly, Reform are like football supporters who go to their team's game to boo them and then wonder why they lost.
